MONEY pILING I'D.

The accumulation of money reserves,
particularly gold, by the great banks
of commercial nations is at present the
most important fact of universal APP
pearance marking economic ana finan-
cial tendencies.
The Bank of France, the Bank of
England, the Reich's Bank of Germany
and the banks of this country now have
the largest amount of reserves in their
history. How plentiful tile supply
of money is can be seen from the pre-
vailing interest rates. The official dis
count rate of the Bank of England Is
IL per cent. While the open rate in
the London market is only '1-2 per
cent. The open market rate In Paris
is 1 ga per cent; in Berlin 3 Ia per
cent. In New York call money COM
mands only from ! Ia per cent. to
1 ga per cent
or course, this accumulation is the
accompaniment OF lessened activity
in trade and industry, but great as the
depression is, the accumulation Of
money is not wholly due to 1t. The
unprecedented production Of new gold
is also a contributing factor.
1t is the effect on the future that
the boarding of these vast sums of
money will have which is engaging the
attention OF financial minds. They
know that the piling up Of money Is a
necessary precedent to revival in
business, and that the revival comes
with gradual restoration Of conf
dence in the situation. But what they
do not know is the extent Of the re-
vival. Many believe that the world
wide and unprecedented accumulation
of money, combined with the largely
Increased producing power Of the prin-
cipal countries. will act on a. scope and
with force never before experienced
SUCH an outcome is highly probable,
The next five years will likely witness
the establishment of new records IN
production and In consuming capacity

cumstances and details Of the affair
are substantially as follows; About IL
o'clock, Miss Brown, a school teacher
boarding with the family heard noise
at her door and called to Mrs. Bell
that some one was in the house. Mrs
Bell got up, ent into the lady's room
but saw nothing; but she called her
daughter and a girl friend, who were
sleeping in another room to spend the
remainder of the night with Miss
Brown. On returning to her own

the hall and called to her husband.
MIR. Bell secured his gun and went to
the door of his room where he saw
the'man in the hall. He called to him
but got no reply. The man finally adj
vanced towards Mr.. Bell and attempt
ed to grab his gun barrel when Mr..
Bell fired, the load taking effect in the
mans stomach. He died in a few
minutes. One Of the neighbors identi-
fed him as young Hale. He had re-
moved his shoes and socks before en-
tering the house, which we're found in
the yard. Why he was there at that
hour of the night in that condition is a
mystery that has not and probably
never will be understood. Hale was

During the ten days campaign that we
have just closed, people have been
very kind both in expression and gifts,
tor which we are truly grateful. We
hope to be able to worship in the
church by June anyway. OF course
the $1,000 we have just raised will not
nearly complete and furnish the church
but it will complete the church so that
we can get in it; in other words it will
put in floor, plaster walls, put in parti-

has arisen. so that we can use to fine

TURK ACCUSED
OF BOYS MURDER
DIRECT EVIDENCE THAT MUTT
LATED SYRIAN BOY WAS
SLAIN BY MAN WHO ENTICED
HIM AWAY.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Inspector Dor
man last night procured what he re-
CARDS as convincing strong evidence
against Hassan Nemmer the Turk
under arrest as the suspected slayer
of Tuffa Shishien, the 12-year-old
Syrian boy whose mutilated remains
were found in the canals in the sub
urbs. The police declare Martin Cog
gin, watchman. has positively
identified the Turk as man he saw
standing on street corner Sunday
night with large bundle on his
shoulder. The package was round
and bulky and the man bent under
its weight He boarded streetcar
going in the direction of where the
legs were found. The police say the
evidence thus far obtained against
Nemmer is as follows:
Nemmer approached three boys at
the union depot Sunday afternoon
and induced them to go to his room.
Shishein was the only one who en-
tered the place. The other boys re-
turned for him later. Nemmer. they
allege opened the door and threa-
tened to shoot them If they did not
leave. The blinds were drawn and
no signs Of life within the rooms
were visible to passersby. This was
the last time the boy was seen alive,
so far as the police car learn.
