Charles kratz Seeks to Annul For
fixture Proceedings.

A motion to quash the return of the Sher-
III has been filed in the suit brought by
Circuit Attorney Joseph Folk to have the
property Of Charles Kratz forfeited to the
State. The case is pending in Judge Tay
lor's division Of the Circuit Court
The action Is based upon the allegation
that when KratZ went to Mexico to escape
prosecution on a charge of boodling he be-
came citizen Of Mexico. The law does not
allow aliens to hold property in Missouri
except under conditions which do not pre-
vail in the case of kratz, it is stated.
John kratz, brother of Charles KratZ,
was also made a defendant in the suit. as
he and Charles kratz jointly own q piece
of property. Service was obtained by serv-
ing the papers on John Kratz.
The motion to quash states that tho re-
turn of the Sheriff. as to Charles Kratz. is
insufficient and unauthorized. The Sheriff
was instructed by Attorney Folk to serve
the papers on John KratZ.

count Mt Recommendation
&, of President Koch.

Berlin, June s.-The rate Of discount Of the
Imperial Bank of Germany was raised to-
day from ga to 4.
Before the Central Committee of the bank,
President Koch gave the reasons for rails
ing the discount rate. He said:
THE last return showed s50,5O0.oOo higher
liabilities than year ago. The metal stock
IS siO5 00o less. The relation of the liza
bilities to the assets May 81 was never so
unfavorahle before.
THE note circulation, particularly covered
notes, is unusually large, private deposits
are below last years minimum. money Is
scarce in the open market the private rate
of discount is rising and Germany's gold
balance with foreign countries is much
worse than in previous years.
''The chief reason for raising the rate
Of discount is to attract foreign gold. The
bank greatly needs to strengthen its status
for the end of the quarter and for the
autumn, because the money situation
abroad. especially in the United States, Is
especially not reassuring.
THE higher rate OF discount will cause
q return of money from the United States.

disturbance in the German market"
