LONDON, Oct. 14t-The depletion of the

ments and the gradual hardening of private
discount rates had the anticipated effect
on the Bank Of. England discount rate,
which today waseRut, up to 4 per cent, The
amount of .gesegYei Is nearly .S5,0QO,O00 be-
low last week, while the demands for the
metal from abroad5 especially from Egypt

ment. The high rate, however, is also d.
rected against America and Germany.
A large amount Of American finance
paper already has been placed here. and
it Is anticipated that the United States
shortly viii be in p position to withdraw
gold to the further disbursement of the
London money market. In Germany specu-
lAtion has made money extremely light and
an expansion of German demands for gold
is looked for.
In some quarters there is doubt II the 4
per cent rate will attract sufficient gold
to build up the reserve as well as to meet
future demands from America and Europe;
so the market would not be surprised IL a
higher rate is imposed,

(From a staff Correspondent

DIES MONIES, Ia. oct. ~14.-(Special.)
Attorney General Byers called attention
OF the reporters today to the fact that
the had all misinterpreted his decision
given to State Auditor Blakeley respect
ing insurance against automobile acct
dents. He held that It would be illegal
to insure an automobile owner against
suits for damages for accidents which
were q result of his own carelessness or
negligence, but that automobile accident
insurance was legal and allowable in
many instances under the employers liza
bility accident insurance law. The at
torney general says in his letter to the
state auditor that the Automobile owner
may be Unidentified against almost every
possible liability except in the case of
accidents occurring while the owner is
operating his machine for pleasure"

Victor Rosewater spoke on The Press"
He cited the press as the newspaper bat
terry of the party. He commented on Sena-
tor Aldrich's statement regarding the legis-
lature of 1907 and reminded him that we
nave had republican legislatures since 1907
and they had all passed good laws. He
spoke of the great pressure brought by
the press upon legislative bodies.
Senator Burkett was introduced by his
colleague, Senator Brown. Senator Burk,
ett's remarks were confined to comparisons
of the present republican times and the old
democratic times. He spoke of America
as the country of all countries, in that it
is the home of the people. He further
stated that the tariff bill passed was not
his idea of a tariff, but It was the best bill
that could be passed under the clrcum-
stances.
He discussed the tariff question at length,
citing that the bill is abreast with the
times. He further stated that no producer
is bowling on the times, but the non-pro.
Queer. He stated emphatically that the
tariff bill is a fulfillment of the parry
pledges and that much misinformation is
sent out about the bill. Many manufac-
turers have been lying about the tariff and
have used 1t as an excuse to raise the
prices on their output He endorsed the
state ticket strongly and closed with thank
ing the people of Kearney for their energy
in getting up the banquet and their gener-
osity. Senator Burkett's speech closed the
program.

The advance in the discount rate in Lon
don will not affect the American rate, in
the opinion of Henry w. Yates of the Ne
bTaska National bank.
THE advance is made for the purpose of
preventing the continued expectation of
gold from England" said Mr.. Yates Thurs
day. America is not importing gold and l
do not see how it can affect us here. 1t is
merely a move in the competition between
the principal financial points In Europe.
Rates in America are hardening, how
ever, on account of the resumption Of bust
ness and the great demand for the moving
Of crops. This is a good sign. an evidence
Of increased business. The rate this sum
mer got down as low as 81 per cent. 1t is
now up to 8 per cent. and I would not be
surprised to see it go higher as the de-
mand for money Increases
