NEW ENGLAND BUSINESS REAc-
TON.
Bankers Resigned to "a Fairly Long
Period of Diminished Commercial
and Industrial Activity"

fNew York journal of Commerce and
Commercial Rulletin)
Cur bankers profess to see additional
signs of business reaction every week.
For the most part they have now rec
oneiled themselves to the prospects for
a fairly long period of diminished COM
mercial and industrial activity. In New
England there is no question that the
work of revising the tariff has been an
extremely disturbing factor and even
those who are most strongly in favor
of tariff revision are disposed to admit
that great harm may be avoided here

textile schedules is postponed until,
say. Jan !. 1914.
What causes more irritation than
ANYTHING else in New England finan-
cial and industrial circles is the init

which is in evidence here has artificial

duly great, but there is no doubt that

PEN KNIFE WAS USED

HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. "a
gTewsome double tragedy in a han
som cab was revealed here early to-
day when Charles Harbold, the driver.
opened the door to notify his fares
a man and a woman that they had
reached their destination.
No answer came from either Occu-
pant and Harbold thrust in his hand
to awaken them, thinking they had
gone to sleep as they had been riding
for several hours.
He was unable to arouse either and
then he found that his hand was COW
cred with blood. Harbold lighted a
match and saw that both the man and
the woman We're dead.
Man Killed Woman.
The wOman's head was nearly sew
cred from her body while the mans
throat had been cut from ear to ear.
Both bodies were bolt upright in the
seat. The killing was done with a small
black handled pen knife, the blades of
which We're about an inch and half
long and ground to a razor edge.
Letters in the pocket of the man
showed him to be NJ. F. Roberts "a
wealthy produce dealer of Gettysburg.
The woman was Miss Anna Honsinger,
of Paxtang. She formerly lived at Get

Robert is believed to have killed the
woman then committed suicide. The
cab driver heard no signs of a strug-
gle although the pair were quarreling
when they hailed him.
