two distinct and strong impressions. One
was that DR.. Norr felt an intense passion
for the girl, which he had already mani
tested In such O way as to arouse her dislike
The other was that Mr.. Detmold had had
reasons for his belief that his wishes would
work out all right"
The detectives deductions from his first
premise developed readily and with in
creasing threat. OF course IL might be
that the p%hysician's story was true and
that he was sincere in his suspicious OF the
missing Hale; but the animus he had
shown and the secret motive that was urging
him on, primeval, ungovernable, led Cron-
kite 70 Judge the accusation false.
Had Mr.. Detmold been In q state Of sus-
pended animation when the operation
was performedi Cronkite doubted IL; the
opportunity was too obvious; the results

Cronklts's second deduction developed

NEED MORE CURRENCY
Big Financial Points Close Their
 Vaults to New York.
CREDIT CENTERS ARE FROZEN
$15,000,000 In Double Eagles Will Be Coined Immediately to Relieve the Money strain-s1, ,5oO,ooo More Is on Way Here From London. /

| way 7ere From London.
 New York, Nov. 1.--While banking conditions so far as New York is con- cerned have become fairly normal in that there are supplies of credits to be had, there is now occupying the atten- tion of the financial world the solution of the problem of obtaining an inter- change of credits and funds among the leading cities of the United States.
 Struggles for money have now be- come so keen that Philadelphia and Pittsburg have locked the doors of their vaults on an Outgo of currency to New York. Chicago exchange on New York is almost unobtainable eX- cept at great concessions. Boston cred its in this city have been exhausted, and New York will not allow the egress of money to other centers.
 The credit centers of the United States" said leading Wall street banker, have literally been frozen solid. There is no interchange of cred its or exchange of currency at pres ent."
 Call to Savings Banks. This condition of affairs, it now ap- pears, is beginning to curtail trade on account of the inability of the New York merchant to have his checks sent in by his customers from other cities converted into funds immediately, as is the case in normal times.
 The brakes on business which this congestion has applied are, however, being loosened by the activities of the federal governm cnt and the local bank ing community. Bankers are support ing Comptroller Ridgely's plan to in crease the amount of bank note circu- lation, and it is believed fully $30,000.- GOO of additional currency will be talk en out provided the banks can obtain the necessary amount of government bonds.
 In this connection Frank A. Wander lip of the City bank suggested that the savings banks ought to make it possi- ble for the national banks to take out additional currency by either selling their government bonds or transfer ring them.
 $15,ooo,o00 In Double Eagles.
 Word has also been sent to the Phil adelphia mint to coin immediately S15.- 000,O00 double eagles, so that these gold pieces can be placed in circulation in order to relieve the money strain.
 Efforts to bring in more gold from abroad resulted in the engagement of $1,500.000 from London by New York bankers. This engagement brings the total amount of yellow metal, either on its way to New York or about to be shipped, to S23,I50,000. The firms add ing to their importations are Heidel- bach. Ickelheimer X Co. and Lazard Freres.
 It was aSCertained that only 2.500 de positors in half q dozen of the leading savings banks of the city have given the required sixty day notice of with drawalS and that the institutions are not at all worried by the developments. In some cases the savings banks are their depositors to withdraw funds when, on satisfactory evidence. 1t is proved that the money is to be used on construction work begun. the payment for which must be made from time to time

CHESS, MASTERS
IN DRAWN GAME

PHILADELPHIA, February 20.-After
forty-nine moves, the eighth game in the
chess match for the worlds championship
between DR.. Emanuel Lasker and Frank ].
Marshall was adjourned last night until
today, with Lasker having the advantage.
The game was played in the Franklin chess
rooms, which were crowded with members
and chess enthusiasts during the six hours
the masters struggled over the board.
Lasker had the white pieces and played
K-K4. Marshall converted the opening
into French defense, which he later de-
veloped into a McCutcheon variation.
The game had the same opening as the
sixth of the series, which ended in a
draw. Marshall deviated first on his ninth
move, forcing the king prematurely to
play. But the defect was inconsiderable
White soon recuperated and developed ~
pieces well.
His point of attack was the double pawn
