BANKER HARRIS ON EUROPEAN
CONDITIONS.

No man in the United States stands
higher in the banking world than N.
w. Harris, president Of the Harris
Trust and Savings Bank. He il gen.
orally looked upon as one Of the most
conservative as well as one Of the
best informed financiers of the coun-
try. Mr.. Harris, who has Just re-
turned from ten weeks tour OF
Europe, Is quoted as saying:
81 was impressed with the great
development in Germany during the
last few years, especially in the indus.
tries. These have required the invest.
ment of a large amount Of fixed CAPT.
tai, and from financial standpoint I
think this investment has been more
rapid than the real increase Of the
wealth Of the country 3ustihes. The
result Is that interest rates In Ger.
many are now higher than in any
other part Of Europe.
I'm France the business situation 10
the reverse Of that in Germany. There
Is no marked increase in the develop.
ment OF industries or In the erection
OF public or private buildings. The
people are saving and largely put
their money out at interest and buy
bonds Of other nations, and the result
IL that they have a larger amount Of
gold than any other nation In Europe
and the other countries are debtors Of
France.
1.-THE bonds Of European govern.
ments have greatly declined during
| the last fifteen years. The cause Of
this great decline in market value 10
not the want Of confidence Of the In.
vesting public but the enormous in
crease in the amount Of bonds ere.
ated. The European governments
debts alone increased approximately
| IS, 700 900 900 in the last fifteen years.
I'm England the changed conditions
as to interest rates are more marked
than In other European countries OK.
cept Germany. This Is caused by the
action of the Liberal government re.
garding the pensioning Of the poor.
ETC., which materially increases the
taxes. The increase Of the Inherit
ance tax also has an effect, and all
Of these conditions work to drive out
Of England a large amount Of capital.
As a result the London market has
been favorable to American securi.
ties, and ! look forward to contin.
ued good market in London for some
time to come for our securities"

SHAPIRO FALLS TO IDENTIFY
 MEN HELD KS SUSPECTS

New York, Aug. s.-District Attor- ney Whitman is bending every effort to secure identifications of "Whitey" Lewis and ''Dago' Frank ,Cirofici as two of those who occupied the mur- der car the night that Herman Ros- enthal was shot and slain.
 William Shapiro, chauffeur of the car, after looking over the two sus- poets tremblingly told the public prosecutor that he could not identify them.
 Shapiro will be given another op- portunty.
 With the lengthy written confess sion of Bald Jack" Rose as basis private detectives went to work to- day to secure corroboraton of Rose s story, in which he told in detail of his alleged relations with Police lieutenant Becker as collector of blackmail. Rose gave the names of ten or more gamblers from whom he said ne collected graft The detec- tives believe that important corro- boration can be obtained not only from these gamblers, but from mem bers of Roses household who, Rose says, saw him give money to Beck er
 Rose, in his confession, said that he telephoned Becker immediately af- ter the murder. The prosecutor is said to have obtained the telephone company's reords showing that a telephone connection was made with Beckers house from building near the scene of the murder a few min utes after Rosenthal was shot.

AMERICAN KIDDERS
 AT THE OLYMPIAC

Among other things upheld" by Uncle Sans Olynrpiac athletes at Stockholm was the reputation of the United States as a nation of kid ders.'
 One of tohe most amusing and ef- fectice fthe mony goca-humcred stunts pulled off at the expense of the foreigners was executed by a part of the Yankee trap shooting team. Before the day of the match, J. R. Graham, with Hall, Lyon and Billings, other members of the trap team, went out to the shooting grounds for practice hour. The party was trailed by a number of members of the Russian trap-shoot- ing team, who were anX Ou3 to get a line on the Yankee brand of craftsmanship. Hall scented the "in- specion," and suggested to Graham that little scare" be handed to the Czar's subjects. So when the prac- tice began Graham, using Rem'ngt on UMC Arrow Steel-Lined Shells; with which he shot his way to the worlds individual championship at clay tar gets a few days later, started off conservatively by missing two of the first three targets. This gait looked encouraging to the Russians, who saw visions of first" for their team in the trap-shooting event. Then Graham unlimbered and broke forty nine straight. Hall and Billings each followed by driving the same Ameri- can-made shells to but one miss in fifty, and completed their strings of one hundred with but one miss apiece. Graham missed three in his hundred-"a poor day for him." said the press reports.
 On the afternoon of the same day the s,avs officially withdraw from the trap-shooting contest.

ROASTS "FADDISTS
 AND "THEORISVs"

Washing on, Aug. S.--The faddisls and theorists of the conservation cause would shut up the West eni':e Iy and make = a colony for the East if they had their way" declared Sen ator Borah tolay during the debate on the agricultural appropriation bill.
 If these theorists and faddist3 would turn their intention to rehabil iation of the thousands of acres of abandoned lands ty ng around them instead of riding through them in Pullman cars to the West and trying to tell the people of that country how to be decent citizens they would do much more for the benefit of the country
 He declared that "cabal' of about 100 men seemed to exercise such power over both political par ties as to make it impossible to se- cure any effective legisla ion to open up public lands in Western states to actual homesteaders and settlers.

Busy Chinese Hens,

It would appear that the hens of China find life more real and earnest than enjoyable, for, it is said, when not matching out broods of their own kind, the additional and novel task of matching fish eggs is thrust upon them. Chinese owners of hens col, lect fish spawn, introduce it into empty eggshells, dramatically seal them and place them under the de- ceived and conscientious hen In iGe time the shells are removed and the spawn, now warmed into life, is emptied into a shallow pool. Here the fish which appear arc nursed and guarded until strong enough to be turned into lake or stream and sub sequently add to tho edible resources of the people.
