BANK OF ENGLAND HAS
RAISED DISCOUNT RATE.
From 2l=2 to 3 Per Cent. Be-
cause of Small Gold Reserve.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-The rang 90 dis
count of the Bank of England was
raised today from 21a to 3 per cent.
This is the first change since May %,
of last year
The increase was generally antici-
pated, and was due to the small gold
reserve, which last week stood below
800, 900, 900. being further depleted of
nearly So 900, 900 by Withdrawals during
the past few days for shipment to South
America. Only small amounts of gold
have been coming into the country from
Egypt, and for many months the bank
has been unable to obtain the weekly
supplies arriving from the mines, at
France has been a persistent buyer of
the metal, presumably in preparation
for the new Russian loan. With the
banks reserve at such a low ebb the
high rate is necessary to attract gold
imports, as well as check continental
Aemands.
The former bank rate, 2h per cent
was made OF May 2s of last year, and
was the low point in a gradual decline
from I per cent, which was established
during the American panic in 1907.
CALCUTTA, Jan. 1.-THE rate of
discount of the Bank of Bengal was in
creased from 6 to 7 per cent. today.

NRISKEY GRAFT
TOO GOOD TO LAST,
But It WAS EASY
Truck Driver Parker and Lady
Friend Lived in EIysium
for While, Though.

Where Benjamin f. Parker, 81 years
old, of 56 Golden street, and Marie
Callan. 40. of 100 Oliver street, ac-
cumulated their daily, progressive and
illustrated jags for the last few months
was a mystery to that section of the
"Hilp' until they were arraigned in
the Fourth Precinct Court today and
with them was presented as evidence
two gimlets, a funnel, a little brown
jug and a mutilated whiskey barrel.
Thomas Mcclure, a truckman, of 8
and 8 Rose sereet, who had long en-
ployed Parker, estimated that he had
lost at least fifty gallons of ripe whis-
key from as many barrels in as many
days.
Mcclure does the trucking for a
, wholesale liquor house and Parker has
driven one of his wagons. In the last
two months sal~oon-keepers to whom
Parker delivered barrels of whiskey
complained that they were short meas
ure-that they had been tapped be-
fore delivery. Mcclure noticed sim
UNANIMOUSLY that Parker had picked up
a woman companion and that he
seemed to be on a continuous jag. with

nounced in the evening.
Plainclothesmen Eckert and Kenny,
who had been on the case for some
time. saw Parker and the Callan
woman leave the stable last night with
a jug of whiskey and arrested them.
In Parker's wagon they found a bar
rel of whiskey which had not been de-
livered. In the bottom was a small
hole, which had been plugged up. and
In the top was another, an air hole. In
Parker's pockets were found two gim-
lets and a collapsible funnel.
When all of this was explained to
Judge Herr he held Parker and Marie
for the grand jury in $500 bail each.
