COUNCIL HEARS BONDSMAN Resolutions Authorizing Appoint xnent of Committee to Investigate Dealings Iaid on Table, Action by the city council in con bectlon with claims filed by bonds men of Hans Pederson, who con etructed the public auditorium, was delayed yesterday when City Attor ney LaRoche announced that his of fice was now searching- to learn if the city Is empowered to adjust a moral obligation. The report on this question will not be completed for several days, and action will be deferred until such time, it was announced. Two resolu tions authorizing and directing: the city council to appoint a committee of five to Investigate the dealings between the city and Hans Pederson in connection with the construction of the Auditorium were laid on the table. City Attorney Objects. One resolution was introduced by Mayor Baker, but City Attorney La Roche contended that its adoption by the city council might weaken the city's position in the event of future litigation. The other introduced by Commissioner Barbur is alrjost identi cal with the mayor's resolution, ex cept that it gives the committee power to subpena witnesses and foroe them to given sworn testimony. During the discussion. Commission er Bigelow, who is opposed to the appointment of the arbitration com mi t tee, or settlement of any part of the claim, announced that he wished to interrogate certain persons before the city council and said he was cer tain that when he concluded no mem ber of the council would be willing to appoint a committee or allow an; part of the claim. Oae of Bondsmea Interrogated. X. F. Schanen, one of the bonds men, was called and asked if L. It Hoffman, who was in charge of the work at the Auditorium, representing the city, had not told him that the work was not progressing satisfac torily and that Schanen should pro tect himself. 'Mr. Hoffman never told me any thing: of the sort," said Mr. Schanen. 'I had a few conversations with Mr. Hoffman, but, as a matter of -fact my attorneys had advised me that be cause of changes in the construction, demanded by the city, I was not lia ble." "I don't see that this has any bear ing on the case," said Mayor Baker. "What Mr. Hoifman might have said had nothing to do with the losses sustained in the construction of the building. As a matter of fact, J. C Bayer was appointed by the creditors to handle the work after a certain point in the proceedings, so anything Mr. Schanen might have done would not have altered the case. Mr. Schanen - $30,000, He Says. Commissioner Bigelow attempted, without success, to force Mr. Schanen to admit that certain persons were paid to obtain him as a bondsman. Mr. Schanen admitted that he was offered the contract for the marble work in the event that he signed as a bondsman, but be said he had not gained any profit from this work, as J&OOO still remained unpaid." "What will you stand to lose, Mr. Schanen, if the city does not pay these claims?' asked Commissioner Bigelow. "Approximately $50,000, exclusive of the money due me for materials which I furnished, which I have not eluded in this estimate, answered the bondsman. "Will failure of the city to pay you these claims break you, Mr. Schanen? asked Commissioner Bigelow. "I do not believe that question Is a proper one," said Mayor Baker, thus cutting; oil tne questioning along tnis line. moms pun hide gTKlhJXG FEA TITLE FOR COX TEXTIOX IS PROPOSED. 2Tcw Orleans Sees Big Possibilities In Advertising at Gathering In Portland Next June.

Doris May and Douglas MacLean are its stars. Perhaps that is the reason Manager Noble so confidently offers to return admissions. These two youthful stars are being featured by Thomas Jnce in a series of good, wholesome, truly clever comedies. Twenty-Three and a Half Hours Leave," which also showed at the Liberty, was their first co-starring production while "What's Your Hus band Doing?" is the second Not unlike Avery Hopwood's "Fair and Warmer" the new Doris May and Douglas MacLean picture is the story f an innocent, naive, doll-like wife who actually succeeds in putting it over a husband who prides himself on his worldliness, his masterly ways nd his ideal home. An irnocent look- ng drink and an inexperienced pair of lips to drink it form the basis of one of the funniest scenes. A group of Italian songs by Mrs. Henry Murtagh, soprano, and Earl Alexander, tenor, who appear in bal cony overlooking a shimmering canal illuminated only by golden moonlight forms the act entitled "A Might in Venice.

MiHerand Tones Down Reply of Lloyd George. U. S. WITHDRAWAL FEARED French Seek Wilson's Opinions Be fore Acting on Settlement of Jugo-Slav-Italy Case. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) PARIS, Feb. 18. (Special.) France will not approve a final settlement or the Adriatic question in any lorm without the concurrence of the United States, it is authoritatively stated. The reply of the allies to President Wilson, which Premier Lloyd George was reported to have drawn up on the spur of the moment, is now said to have undergone the most conserva tive modifications. It was .not for warded until Premier Millerand was satisfied that it contained nbthmg to irritate President Wilson further. The World correspondent learns that the note attempts to acquaint President Wilson with the details of all the negotiations that have been going on to settle the Adriatic ques tion since he left Paris, and to try to convince him that conditions have been changed by the changed opin ions of the Italians and Jugo Slavs themselves. Wilson's Advice Sought. The note will ask President Wilson to consider .these facts and to try with the allies to formulate a modi fied solution satisfactory to all concerned. After his return Premier Millerand was in'constant communication with London regarding the note and if any thing had a cooling effect on Premier Lloyd George's temper, it is under stood to have been the more sane and conservative course that Millerand pursued. A high French official told the World correspondent today: Despite published denials from Washington that President Wilson threatened to withdraw from the af fairs of Europe, the impression cre ated in diplomatic circles certainly has been that. It has caused the great est uneasiness, because every student of European conditions, especially Frenchmen, realize that for the United States to withdraw from Europe and refuse to ratify the treaty would throw the whole world Into chaos. The United States is more important to Europe than the settlement of the Adriatic or any other question. That ia the official viewpoint and that is why there cannot be a final settle ment of the Adriatic question with out the accord of the United States." French Policy, "Hands Off." French officials also deny persist ent reports that M. Jusserand, ambas sador at Washington, has had in structions from the French govern ment to approve Lord Grey's letter. They say France Is careful to avoid the slightest appearance of mixing in tbe internal politics of America. , In a word, conservative French opinion, as in England, after more sober consideration of the Adriatic complications, has decided that the United States must not be antago nized to the point of disinteresting itself from further European affairs. Former Premier Clemenceau's paper, L'Homme Libre, asks whether, after President Wilson's intervention, the premiers will persist In their policy of January 20, and adds that if they do not they could be forgiven if it would mean America's return to ths conference. 'America's help Is necessary to the re-establishment of Europe," L'Homme Libre adds. "It is possible that Presi dent Wilson has not sufficiently ap preciated the new conditions that have arisen in the Adriatic question, and that he might discuss the new arguments which probably - will be submitted to him." Extremists Scorn IT. S. Aid. The extreme opinion , is voiced by! L'Eclair which asks what Europe would lose if the United States re fused to ratify the treaty and act alone. L'Eclair says it would show that "the ' Americans have returned to their cold policy of business," and adds: "We do not see what interest, there fore, Europe would have for the United States to ratify the treaty and to continue to mix in European affairs. This would mean for Amer ica to acquire a right on this con tinent without any advantages to the entente." L'Informatton says Europeans must not forget that President Wilson has been a sick man. not in touch with Europe, and troubled by Internal poll tics, and adds that the allies, con sidering this m their answer to the president's note have renewed their desire to follow with the United DR.

Abseace Is Regretted. L'Informatton adds, however, that the premiers have drawn President Wilson's attention to the fact that his absence in the United States during their conference is regrettable and does not permit the solution of press ing problems. L Action Francalse continues Its at tacks on President Wilson and says: "If he still has lucidity to know what he is doing, there is in his mani festation of a re-entry into European politics the intention of doing some thing bad. 'We should like to think that it it on his political adversaries, that ia the whole United States senate, on whom he is trying to take revenge but if it is only a temporary quarrel we are getting seriously splashed." This newspaper adds that the allies could do without President Wilson, who, it says, is not representative of America and is alone in his opinions.
