lean finance seems certain to be direct
and probably by no means remote. The
consequences which we may expect
will arise primarily from causes incl
dent to the war, and, secondarily, from
conditions which have long been de-
veloping in the United States. Inc
earlier of the results should be fnan
cial disturbance affecting the entire
country, but felt permanently IN the
east rather than in the west. The ulti
mate outcome should be the recon
struction Of our present financial sys'
tenn and the establishment of a score
OF independent financial centers, locat
ed in our more densely populated com.
munities.
It is inevitable that the allies must
come to us for another large credit =
not less than half billion dollars =
on or before the first OF March, 1916
The American people will be wise, IT,
when they consider their subscriptions
to such a loan. they will decide wheth.
er or not such subscriptions shall be
made as contributions to a cause that
has their sympathy and approval. They
will be unwise, If they take part In the
loan as a business investment. AS an
Investment, the second loan, Ike the
first, must become insecure from the
hour when the stability Of British re-
sources is threatened. The wars cost
lis a drain upon Britain's resources so
enormous that the hotation OF this
second loan is certain to be matter
Of the utmost difficulty, IL not of doubt.
Should the attempt to create 1t fall,
Great Britain's credit will have failed
also. The breaking point Of the worlds
finance and necessarily Of American f.
nance, now heavily involved by the
first credit Of half billion dollars -
may be expected when exchange for
the British pound shall have dropped
thirty per cent below par, If indeed the
financial burden can be sustained so
far as that low level of depreciation.
It Is conceivable that the war may
end without the disaster. But, how
ever long it may be delayed and In
whatever form 1t may impend, 1t ap'
pears certain that the financial cata
clysm must come to pass, and that the
United States, as embracing the inves
tors in these loans, must be heavily
involved - not SO heavily as' perman'
entity to destroy a country SURPRISING
" rich In resources, yet heavily
enough to produce panic, with all its
temporary consequences.
The period of readjustment should
embrace the period Of dispersion Of the
nations financial center into a number
of other centers, ultimately with a
very marked, beneficial effect upon the
stability of American finance. Twenty
years ago, New York was the financial
center Of the United States, in fact as
well as in name; today, its claim to
the distinction is nominal only. At the
beginning of the war, the west had al
ready become largely independent OF
the east.
Twenty years ago New York capital
was in reality New York capital; and
that capital was being loaned to the
west, with returns coming from the
west in the form of substantial interest
payments. But, within those two de
cades, the shoe has gradually been
shifting to the other foot. OF late, a

Before Alricks Association

Members of the Senate and House.
evening for the weeks work, will re-
ceive invitations to attend a lecture on
Good Roads of Pennsylvania" which
Joseph w. Hunter, Deputy State
Highway Commissioner will deliver
next Friday evening before the AL
ricks Association in st. Andrews Par
ish House. Nineteenth and Market
streets. This lecture is illustrated with
specially-prepared lantern slides
showing the work of the Highway
Department. 1t has been delivered in
many counties by Mr.. Hunter.
Next Friday evening will be the
time for the regular monthly social
meeting of the Alricks Association
and arrangements were made some
time ago with MIR. Hunter to speak
at that time. As il happens to be a
legislative week, the Allison Hill men
decided TO invite the members of the
Senate and House. The outgoing and
incca1ing Governor and Lieutenant
Governor other State officials, mem
bers of the Legislative Correspond
ents' Association and members of the
board of governors of the Motor Club
of Harrisburg have been invited.
After Mr.. Hunters lecture the men
present will enjoy lunch and smoker
and general social hour. The function
viii be entirely informal, not nearly as
elaborate as the legislative receptions
given in past years by the old Board
of Trade. 1t is the first entertainment
of any sort so far announced for the
present Legislature.
Following the general custom OF the
Alricks Association, the meeting will
be open to any men who wish to at
tend.
I'VE cannot, of course, send an in
vitation to everybody" said John f.
Miller, president of the club. to-day.
but any man is welcome. That has
been the policy of the Alricks Asso-
citation from the start We have only
two purposes, to have good social
times and to learn something while
we are having them. We have no
connection with st. Andrews Church
nor any other organization, but use the
parish house as a meeting place be-
cause it is the most available hall and
is loaned without charge. Consider
ably less than half of our ninety eight
members are. not members of st. An
drew's Church; a lot of them are
members of other churches and some
aren't church members at ALL"

Stores Will Close
While Parade Is Passing

Merchants in the central business
section will close their stores during
the inaugural parade. Wholesale
houses will be closed all day, and the
shops of the Pennsylvania railroad will
observe a half holiday, except Depart
ments having rush work. BARRIERS will
close their shops from noon until 4
o'clock in the afternoon.
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce recommends to business houses
that they close on Tuesday while the
inaugural parade is passing: during
the hours from 1890 p. m. to 2.30
p. m, inclusive. A number of large
downtown stores have approved of
these hours and it is believed such
action will not only permit employees
to see the parade but interfere as lit.
tie as possible with business.

SHOT THAT KILLED
BANKS TOO PERFECT
Defense to Lay Stress on That
Phase of Murder Case Fore
casted by Questions

Was the shot that killed Nathan
Banks too nearly perfect TO have been
fired by ex-Patrolman Robert Il. Scott :?
That particular stress would be laid
by the defense on that phase of the
SlDletown shooting affray of August
/. l9l, when the case was delivered to
the jury was forecasted at the trial of
Scott this morning when the accused
mans attorneys sought to obtain from
William Applebury and Samuel Baker,
one OF the States witnesses, an accu-
rate and careful description of how
the policeman had fired and how the
bullet had entered Banks throat. The
case was given to the jury this after
mon.
And from the testimony it appeared
that both men were running and that
Scott had pulled his revolver and had
fired without aiming-and that the
bullet entered the vertebrae at the
neck in an almost perfectly horizontal
line.
Scott Tells His Story
Scott told his own story of the shoot
ing this morning Immediately after At
torney Harry b. Sassaman opened for
the defense. 1t was to the effect that
he had urged Banks and another negro
to disperse after they had become
noisy; that Banks had threatened him
and then started to run: that he. Scott.
threw his mace after him; that Banks
picked up the mace and took il into
his house; that he. Banks, taunted
Scott with the fact that he had the
club, and then adde the uglier word
