AMERICANS ANXIOUS
 TO RETURN HOME
Tourists Se;k ng Transportation to
 n Un.tcd States.

London, Aug. 1.-American tourists in England entirely gave up their sightseeing trips today and f1ocked to Cockspur street where the headquar- ters of the trans Atlantic steamship companies are situated, to try and book passages home. The companies offices were crowded from an early hour and the clerks worked at high speed issuing tickets and making transfers to earlier steamers for those who had transportation on vessels sailing the latter part of August or early in September
 The one and only object of the American travellers appeared to be to get home as soon as possible.
 Want to Visit Homes.
 The crowd of tourists was augment ed by many American and Canadian residents who owing to the disloca- tion of business, were desirous of talk ing the opportunity of visiting their homes
 The Cunard, the White Star and other British and Dutch lines did an immense business, accepting many passengers who had intended to sail on amburg erican liners, all of which had been definitely withdrawn from the service. The withdrawal of LaProvence of the French Trans-At- lantic line. also provided a lot of cus- toners for the steamship companies still doing business.
 Maximum Rates Charged.
 Maximum rates were charged by all the companies, and many passen- gers paid high premiums for tickets to those who had them, but preferred taking the profit in the hope of get ting home later at a lower rate.
 The French Transatlantic line and the North German Lloyd still accept ed bookings for their steamers to- day but most of the would-be passen- gers seemed to prefer British vessels.
 The Hamburg American and other German companies have ordered their vessels in all parts of the world to seek neutral ports and if the crisis continues shipping soon will be en- tirely dislocated.
 Returns to Rome
 The Cunard liner Mauretania, sail ing today from Liverpool, has a full complement of passengers. As the ordinary homeward rush to America had not begun when her sailing was announced, she was able to provide accommodation for many who had in- tended to sail on the Imperator.
 Thomas Nelson Page, American a amb mbassador to Italy, who had booked passage on the Imperator, decided to- day to return to Rome in view of the critical situation.

CONTINUE REAssURING PLAN.
Immediate Completion of Federal Re-
 serve Board Assured.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Immediate completion of the federal reserve board and passage by the house of a senate bill removing certain restric- tons upon the issue of a senate bill removing certain restrictions upon the issue of emergency currency by na- t1onal banks were features in the ad- mlnlstratlon's plans today to reassure the country against financial disturb ance during unrest in Europe.
 Steps which had been decided upon to that end included perfection of the reserve board by the sending to the senate today of President Wilson's choice of successor to Thomas D. Jones; appearance of Paul M. War burg before the senate banking com mlttee and passage by the house of the senate amendment which would make more easily accessible the $500. 100000 issue of currency which Sec retary McAdoo announced would be imm ediately available

FRENCH SOCIALIST
 LEADER ASSASS|NATED
Jean Jaures Shot While Dining iu
 Restaurant Near the Bourse.

Paris, Aug. 1.-Jean Leon Jaures the noted socialist leader, was assas- ssinated last night while dining in small restaurant near the Bourse. The assassin was arrested, but refused to disclose his identity. Later he was identified as Raoul Villain, twenty nine years of age and said to be the son of clerk in the civil court at Rheims
 The minister of the interior, Louis Malvy, on hearing of the crime, left the meeting of the council and order ed precautions to be taken to prevent demonstrations.
 Seated at Table.
 M. Jaures was seated at a dinner table near an open window, facing the Rue Montmatre, chatting with several socialist deputies and the edi- tors of LHumanite. As though by pre-arrangement, the curtain cover ing the window was lightly brushed aside and hand holding a revolver was thrust through.
 Before M. Jaures could make a move he received two bullets in the back of the head. Without uttering even an exclamation he fell forward and expired with his head on the table.
 Shots Startle Diners.
 The reports of the shots startled the diners and passersby and the assas- sin was seized. In his pocket was an- other loaded revolver. The police rescued him from the crowd which shouted: "Assassin!" Death to the assassin!'
 The body of the noted deputy was placed in city conveyance, which, surrounded by weeping comrades and friends, proceeded through the streets to his home, followed by a detach- ment of republican guards. There were shouts of Viva Jaures" by some in the crowd and similar shouts ana demonstration in front of the of flee of LHumanite, and in the bOule- wards when the news became general ly known.
 It is reported that the assassin first telephoned to the restaurant which was a favorite dining place of M. Jaures, to ascertain if he was there.
 Noted Socialist Leader.
 Jean Leon Juares had been the ac- knowledged leader of the French So- cialists for the last fifteen years. As statesman, journalist, debater and or ator, he had given his splendid abil1- ties to their cause without stint, and no favor of office or profit could win him from them. He dreamed of peace to come through economic freedom and built his hope upon knowledge and undaunted spirit that lifted him in the thoughts of his con- temporaries, even those who were bit terly opposed to his programme.
 Chancellor won Buelow, denying - Jaures the privilege of speaking In Berlin, found an excuse in the temper of German Socialists rather than in the ideas of the French leader Juares, spea king as the foe of miIi- Ii tarism, hurled into the face of Ger ! many the threat that if she sought to make France a hostage in the event of war with England there would leap forth a resistance un- equalled in the history of the world.

London, Aug 1.-The National Penny Bank, an institution with many branches where small deposits are re- ceived, was closed today.
 In announcing their decision to close the doors the directors said that owing to the serious financial situa- tion at home and abroad, which has caused all stock exchange securities to suffer enormous depreciations so that they cannot be easily realized upon, and because of the further diff ficulty in obtaining gold coins, the di- rectors feel compelled in the interest of depositors to suspend business for a time.
