Highest Since 1873.
The last occasion when a per cent
rate was enforced by the Bank of Eng
land was in 1873 and was due to financial
u ouDles on the continent and in America
On that occasion the rate eventually
reached 8 per cent, but it quickly fell to

greater squeeze in Germany, with a con-

Bank of Englands rate by a full point

FIRST ACCUSED
BY SOCIALIST
Former Deputy Ciccotti Gives
Sensational Testimony at
Trial of Nunzio Mast.

Rome. Nov. THE trial of Nunzio
Nasi former minister of public instruc-
ton, on the charge of classifying docu-
ments and defrauding the state treasury,
was continued in this city today before
the senate sitting as a high court. The
interesting feature of the proceedings was
the statement made by Signor Ciccotti,
a former socialist deputy, who at the time
of Signor Nasi's incumbency was a uni
versity professor and consequently subor-
dinate to him. Ciccotti declared that he
was the first man to accuse Nasi. He
did SO with the idea of accomplishing
political and patriotic duty, and he de-
clared ii was his opinion that Mast had
used the public money In an effort to
create in Italy cliques through which he
would eventually attain to the premier
ship Ciccotti said also that Nasfs fall
sificaticns and scattering of arms had
lowered the moral standards of the public
He had not believed, however that his
accusations would bring Nasi to trial, for,
he said similar crimes have been COM
mitted by other men who are in power,
and they have not been molested.
The sitting for today came to an end
with the conclusion of Ciccottfs state
ment. When he had finished number
of the senators crowded about him to
shake his hand and congratulate him.
