MONEY IS PLENTIFUL.
But the Bank of England Raises Its
Rate of Discount.

London, Sept. Z.-The Bank of Eng
land raised its discount rate from to
4 per cent today, a week earlier than
last year, in order to protect its re-
serve against possible unexpected de-
nands before the usual autumn gold
shipments are thoroughly under way.
Curiously enough money remains re-
1narkably cheap and plentiful and the
Bank of England's stock of coin and
bullion stands near $215, ,00O 900 but a
measure Of protection is considered
necessary in view of the continental
political situation and the advanced
bank rates at Berlin, Belgium, Sweden,
and Denmark, with early rises possi-
bic at Vienna and Paris. The fact of
London discount dealers having forced
the private rates over the banks mini
mum of 3 per cent causing an inunda-
tion of bills to the, Bank of England
was another factor in the adoption of
the higher minimum.
The weekly statement of the bank
shows the following changes:
Total reserve increased 1033. 900
pounds: circulation decreased 1926, 900
pounds; bullion increased SOS, ,2S0
pounds; other securities increased q
$4,000 pounds; other deposits increased
1,236.00O pounds; public deposits in
creased 1863, 600 pounds; notes reserve
increased $4,000 pounds; government
securities decreased 500, 900 pounds.
The proportion of the banks reserve
to liability this week 56.70 per cent;
last week it was $50 per cent.

TAFT CAUGHT in RAIN.
The Presidents Special Train Reaches
Grand Rapids, Mich.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 21.-Presi-
dent Taft and party arrived aboard
their special train shortly after
o'clock this morning in a dismal rain
Marquette, Mich, Sept. 21--President
Taft. ended his two days visit to the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan last
night.
The president plainly was pleased
with the warmth Of his reception here
The upper peninsula is about as SOlidly
Republican as any part of the country
and the president found cheering
throngs wherever he went. The atmos-
phere was charged with politics, but
Mr. Taft steered clear of the subject.
His principal address was an appeal for
public interest in and support of the
general arbitration treaties with Great
Britain and France.
Mr.. Taft launched into an explana-
ton of the arbitration treaties, his ad-
dress following the lines of those made
at Erie, Pa, and Pontiac Mich Sen
ator Townsend. listened intently to
what the president said and when ne
spoke a few minutes later pledged MS
support to the ratification of the pacts.
Mr.. Taft said that one of his impor-
tant missions on the present trip was
to make the peace treaties more gen
orally understood. In Erie, he received
a pledge from Senator Oliver to vote
for the treaties, So Senator Townsend
was the second to fall in line MIR.
Taft believes that while a majority or
the foreign relations committee is
against the treaties, a majority of the
senate proper Is not.
Senator Townsend praised the pres1-
dent for the work of his administra-
ton and declared that Mr.. Taft was a
statesman, not a, politician
President Taft also referred while
here to the pending Nicaraguan and
Honduran treaties and urged their
ratification by the senate The United
States, he said, has a, certain guardian
ship over the republics of Central
America, which it must not shirk. In
this connection, he referred to the
Santo Domingo treaty, negotiated by
President Roosevelt. It was the first
mention of Roosevelt's name during
the trip, but came in such a casual way
as to be entirely overlooked by the
audience.
The success of the fiscal arrange
ments made in Santo Domingo, Mr..
Taft said. brought about the pending
treaties with Honduras and Nicaragua
1--WE are. a great nation and have
been made prosperous by the blessing
of God,'' concluded the president, "an1
we owe it to our less fortunate neigh
bors that come under our guardianship
the same degree of neighborly feeling
and aid that successful man in a
community owes to his less fortunate
fellow citizens. Therefore, I think the
senate ought to confirm those treaties.

BILLIARD LOSES HIS PATIENCE.
Woman calls Him Up to Ask the
Time.

Usually Mayor Billiard is a quiet man
with a steady temper and plenty OF
control. But today the mayor threw
up his hands in despair, declaring that
all threads of human endurance had
been broken.
1t seems that a few minues before
the reporter visited his office an un-
known woman had called the mayor
from his work over a bunch of city
records The call came over the tele-
phone.
WELL answered the mayor.
rs this the mayor?' came the female
voice
Yes reassured Mr.. Billiard.
well, Mr.. Mayor, would you tell me
what time it is, please?''
Now the mayor has given baseball
scores, he has tried to give weather OBJ
servations and he has made frantic at
tempts to locate long lost relatives, but
never before has he been called upon
to tell the time
But he gave it, anyway
My dear madam, it is just twenty
three minutes and thirty seconds after
eleven o'clock he answered.

TWO FAMILIES SLAIN.
Six Persons Found Murdered in Their
Beds at colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs, Sept. 21.-Mur-
dered in their own homes by an un-
identified person who used an axe, the
bodies of six persons, three in each of
two neighboring houses, have been
found here. The heads of all the vic
tins had been smashed in and the a ,
pearance of the bodies indicated that
they had been dead several days and
report says that the murderer has been
caught and that he has confessed, but
this is denied by the police officials
who, it is intimated, fear a lynching
might follow such an announcement.
An axe which had been loaned to Mrs.
Henry +. Wayne, one of the victims,
by J. R. Evans, neighbor, last week
was found. blood stained, by Mrs.
Evans on Monday near the bacl. door
of the Wayne home. It was believed

The discovery of the bodies was
made by neighbor who called at the
Burnham home to spend the afternoon.
Not getting any response and noticing
a strong odor, she forced an entrance.
The bodies of Mrs. Burnham and those
of her two children were found in
their beds, which were covered with
blood, and the walls and ceiling were
also spattered.
The woman rushed into the street
and gave the alarm. Instinctively
dozen persons went to the Wayne
house, where there had been no signs
of life since SUNDAY. and the same
terrible scene was presented. Covered
in bed as though in their natural sleep
were the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wayne and their babe, all horribly
mang1ed. as in the case of the bodies
in the Burnham house.
So far as can he learned there is no
motive for the. crime. Both the Burn
