Discount Rate Advanced.

Paris, Sept. 21.-The Bank of France
today advanced its discount rate from
8 to IL per cent. This is the first
change made by the bank since January
22, 1908.
Brussels, Sept. 21.-The Bank OF
Belgium today advanced its discount
rate one per cent to 5 l-2 per cent. Last
Thursday the rate was advanced one
per cent.
London, Sept. 21.---The Bank OF
England advanced its discount rate one
per cent. to four per cent. today.
Vienna, Sept. 2l.--The Austro-Hun-
garian bank has advanced its rate oil
discount to 5 per cent.
London Sept. q. The discount rates
OF the banks of Englang, France, Bel
GUM and Austro-Hungary were adj
yanced today. The directors explain
ed that they did SO to protect the gold
reserves. 1t was said, that because OF
the recent heavy drop in Standard
securities, fnanciers we're borrowing
money to pick up bargains. y"
Despite this official explanation
however, there was general belief that
the real reason might be the chaotic
condition Of the German finances.
German government notes amounting
to millions of marks are due early next
week, and should they be deiaulted on,
serious financial crisis might be pre-
cipitated.

SIX PERSONS MURDERED.

Butchered in their beds by some per-
son as yet unknown. who used an axe,
the bodies of six persons, three in each
Of two neighboring houses, were found
ut Colorado Springs, COL, yesterday.
The heads OF all the victims had been
smashed in and the appearance OF the
bodies indicated that they had been
dead several days, and that death came
while they slept.
An axe which had been loaned to a
woman, one OF The victims. by neigh
Dor last week, was found blood stained
near the back door OF the home
OF three OF the butchered persons.
No attention was paid to this fact,
however, as it was thought the axe had
been used in killing chickens.
When brought into the morgue the
bodies were almost unacceptable.
The head OF every one OF the six VIC
TINS was either cut or smashed open
and in almost every case the number
of wounds indicated that the murderer
had cut and smashed until be was
sure that he had destroyed life.

extremely primitive kind.

FROM WASHINGTON.

When Attorney General Wickersham
returns to the Department OF Justice
October / he will be in position to de-
eide upon the scope of the trust prose-
cutions to be launched by his depart
ment. 1t was learned today that the
activities of the trust-busting officials OF
the government will be practically sus-
pended until Mr.. Wickersham returns
to Washington. This suspension is
due to the fact that the several trusts
which have been under investigation
by special agents OF the department gre
scrambling to head off prosecution un.
der the terms of the Sherman antitrust
law. These trusts have notified the
department of their willingness to work
out plans OF reorganization somewhat
after the fashion which the American
Tobacco Company and the Standard Oil
COMPANY have been compelled to fol-
low under the decision OF the United
States Supreme Court. These reorgan-
ization plans are necessarily intricate
and require considerable time, and IL is
because OF this fact that the attorney
general has temporarily halted his
trust prosecutions.
Assistent Attorney General Fowler,
who is in charge of the investigation
into the affairs OF the International
Harvester Company, returned to the
Department today and found on his
desk the reorganization proposal OF
that company. He took the papers
to his home in order that he might
study them undisturbed and declined
to comment on the situation. Solicit
tor General Lehman, who is in charge
OF the investigation into the affairs
Of the United States Steel Corporation,
also declined to discuss statements to
the effect that because OF reorgani-
zation plans submitted to the Attorney
General he may not have an oppor-
Unity at the Department today that
within month or six weeks q rev.
olution would be worked in the big
business combination OF the country.
The prediction was made that re-
organization plans will be submitted by
half dozen trusts and those that DO
not do so will be vigorously prosecuted
at an early date.

Maniac Believed to be the Murderer

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. I'll
A. J. Burnham, husband and father
OF three of the six persons found
murdered here yesterday in adjoining
houses, today denied that he had a
hand in the crime.
1t must have been the work OF
some enemy OF my wife's," he said.
I had nothing to do with it, and
l had no enemies myself who would
have done it"
Burnham is still being held, though
the police admit they have no evil
dence against him. They believe now
the murder was committed by some
maniac, probably an unknown enemy
OF the slain persons.
