RESERVE BOARD FIXES
RATES FOR REDISCOUNT
Because of Reversals of Suggestions
as to Charges. Announcement Is
Withheld Until Today.

The FederNl Reserve Board at a meet
ing yesterday, fixed rediscount rates for
the twelve reserve districts. to become
effective on the opening Of the reserve
banks next Monday. The board did not
accept all Of the suggestions Of the re-
serve banks as to the rates which they
desired for their districts and as a re-
suit OF the reversal of these suggestions
Il was decided that the rates should not
be announced until today, by which time
II was intended that all OF the banks
should be communicated with regarding
the alterations that had been made in
their suggestions.
The most important subject on which
the board desired to get into communion
ton with the directors of the reserve
banks before publishing the opening
rates Is the contemplated difference
which is to be fixed between the rates
on thirty-day paper and paper running
for a longer period. One reserve bank
had suggested that a difference of half Of
I per cent be allowed between the two
kinds OF paper. The board approved this
suggestion heartily. accepting the princi-
pie that the former paper is most easily
convertible. and hence should have the
advantage over longer time paper, just
as call loans have the advantage over
time loans.
The rates suggested by the twelve
banks varied from 5 to per cent II
was the view OF the board that there was
too great a divergence between the rates
suggested for some Of the districts and
changes were made in these rates SO as
to bring all Of them within a narrower
range.

J. $. ID INSURE
 SHIPS AT SEA War Risks to Be Carried By Gov. ernment If Bill Introduced To-
 day Passes Congress

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13-A bill was introduced in the House today pro- viding for the establishment of gov. ernment department of marine in- surance connected with the Depart ,ment of Commerce, to issue to Amer ican ships policies against loss by reason of striking mines or hitting rocks during the present war in Flu rope.
 Marine insurance companies have jumped rates upward, claiming that the aids to navigation in Europe and in every part of the world where the British, French, German or Rus- sian governments maintain them have been changed or abolished, and thus the chances against loss are much heavier than formerly. besides which many floating mines have been turn ed loose in European waters and may sink many ships, as was demonstrat- ed in the Russian-Japanese war and also in the recent war between Italy and Turkey.
 It is planned to have the govern ment carry the risk at g. nominal premium.

SEATTLE, Aug. 13.-Elmer Ander- son, the Valdez miner, was found last night by a policeman on University avenue with a bullet in his breast. Anderson lost $500 and his gold watch to the highwayman, who escaped in spite of the fact that Anderson fired three shots at him from his own re- volver.
 When found Anderson was uncon- scious and was taken at once to the hospital and when brought around he told the police that a highwayman had held him up and that he had tried to take away the gun poked in- to his face, but in the struggle it had gone off and he fell to the side walk with a hole in his breast. He also told the police that he had fired three shots from his own gun at the fleeing bandit but had missed.

FOREIGN SHIPS
 FLY OUR FLAG
Congress Passes Law Allowing Reg ister to Foreign VesseIs-Can
 Enter coasting Trade.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The con- ference committee from the House and Senate, to which has been re- ferred the bill passed by both houses allowing foreign ships to make Amer ican register, has agreed upon the bill and is expected to incorporate in it the privilege for the foreign ships to enter the coastwise trade of the United States. The foreign ves- sells can only remain in the coastwise trade for period of two years.
 A tremendous protest has been made by American shipping interests against both the granting of Ameri- can register to foreign ships and al' so against the provision allowing for eign ships to enter the coastwise trade and call at American ports at will.
 It is rumored here that England has protested to the United States against the provision allowing Ger man boats from immunity to capture by taking out American register and it is believed that the British govern ment will not recognize such change in flags but will take all German ves- sells changed to American register af- ter the declaration of war between Germany and Great Britain, and that France will do the same.
