PANAMA BONDS
SELL BELOW PAR
BUT TREASURY OFFICIALS, MANI
FEST NO CONCERN ABOUT
THE MATTER.
SALES FEW, DECLARE NEW YORK
sRoksRs-uNcLE5 SANS, WORK
ING BALANCE LIGHT.

washington Nov 1O.-Treasury de-
partment officers expressed no CON
Germ over the fact that Panama ? per
cent bonds are being sold on the New
York market below par. The comp
troller's office could see no reason in
the situation for demanding of ma
uonal banks additional security for
their notes. secured by those bonds
Thomas P. Kane, assistant comp
troler of the currency said that the
law requiring additional security was
passed at time when national banks
were allowed to issue notes in the
amount of 90 per cent of the market
value OF the bonds upon which they
were based, since which time addi-
uonaI legislation has permitted them
to issue notes to the amount of 90
per cent OF the par value u such
bonds. In 1891, Mr.. Kane pointed
out, 212 per cent bonds about to ma
ture were sold on the market for o.
without demand for additional. Sc
curtty by the comptroller.
The working balance of the treasury
IS already below $4,000, 600, which
practically precludes the idea of a de-
post by the government with the
banks which policy has been pursued
under similar circumstances.
New York bankers say that no large
blocks of Panama per cent bonas
have been sold below par. and that
large sales could be made at 997a II
any holders were willing to take
such a price. There were no heavy
offerings, and the market for United
States bonds appeared fairly steady
so far as the offerings by bankers are
concerned.
specialist in the United States
government bonds said that the mar.
ket for Panama could not be consid-
cred as being below par at all Forced
selling of small lots, he added, often
depressed the price a trihe, but these
transactions were wholly exceptional
and out of line with the general mar
ket

CRIME-MAYOR OFFERS
5000 REWARD.

Cairo, H., Nov. 10.-Eyidences that
Miss. Annie Policy, the Cairo shop
girl, fought a terrific struggle before
succumbing to her aSsaiIants Monday
night, was discovered yesterday Bits
of torn clothing strewed the alley
in which children found her disfigured
corpse, which showed that she fought
against her murderers for two blocks.
Miss Pelley was girl of unusual
strength, and the authorities are in
clined to believe that more than one
person was involved in the attack
upon her.
Thus far, except for the gag and
strips of toweling used by the muir
derers, there has been no clew to their
identity. The bloodhounds brought
here from Harrisburg. Illinois, led the
police only two blocks and a half
from the scene of the crime 1t is
thought that the murderers boarded a
car at that point. Mayor Parsons
has offered a reward of $500 TO the
arrest of the murderers. The victim
of the crime was "a She came here
a few months ago from Anna, Illinois,
and has been living with her married
sister on Twenty-siXth street. She
was on her way to take a car home
from work in local dry goods store
when last seen by friends.
Miss Pelley was mysteriously muir
dered Monday night. Children found
her stripped and mutilated body in an
alley Examination showed that she
had been gagged, chOked to death
and otherwise assaulted.
Four Suspects Held.
Four negroes, a woman and three
men, were arrested last night and are
being held in jail as a result OF
bloOdhounds following the trail to the
home of the woman. Mayor Parsons,
who offered a reward of $500 early in
the day, increased it to $1,000 later

the people, remembering the witness
of his youth, did not at first accord
him the hearty love which he now en-
joys. But today Edward is among
the most popular. as we'll as the grea--
