NEW YORK'S BIG LIST
OF UNSOLvED MURDERERS
New York World)

New York police department is
practically impotent to check
wholesale killings or apprehend
murderers. Convictions growing
out of grand jury cases average less
than one in two. OF the 179 muir
ders committed in Manhattan last
year seventy-five remain unsolved,
and as a consequence more than 100
killings have been added in Man
haitian alone ito the list of the
city's unsolved homicides." In the
last seven months mot one step has
been taken" toward solving the
murder of Barnet Baff.
All this is asserted by William
Bullock, director of the Bureau OF
City Inquiry, an investigating body
supported by Tammany Hall. In a
letter to Mayor Mitchell.
"The police department is a re-
sponsibility resting particularly on
the Mayor, and statistics compiled
BY this bureau indicate that murder
has become one Of the safest crimes
to commit" asserts Mr.. Bullock.
"As a result of police failure scores
of murderers are walking the strets
of the city today unmolested. The
statistics compiled for the entire
city cover the five months from
January / to June 1. 1915. 1u this
five-month period seventy-nine muir
ders we're committed. In only few
cases has efficient police work been
done"
Giving a list of thirty-one "speci-
hc cases of unsolved murders in five
months" Mr.. Bullock says this by
no means represents the sum OF the
police failure" He continues:
Futile arrests have been made in
the case of other murders; week by
week certain OF these murders are
being added to the unsolved list

VARIOUS PROFESSIONS
HARD HIT BY WAR
(By Associated Press.)

London, July Now that the
details of the greatest loan in the
worlds history, of nominally five
thousand million dollars, have now
been made known by the British
government, they appear to meet
with the approval of all experts,
and would-be investors, but they are
not quite so heartily received by
holders of standard "gilted stocks"
yielding from four to five per cent as
the value of these must necessarily
be reduced with such security
yielding four and half rer cent
The new war loan is practically
a borrowing, conversion and thrift
scheme all in one and will very
largely alter the whole basis of in
vestment. The government retains
the option of dealing afresh with it's
new debt at the end of ten years or
has margin beyond that time of
several more years-while the con-
version of every hundred pounds
($500) of consols at about Sc
pounds means that so much deb. is
wiped out as though obliterated by
sinking fund operations.
One great hit the government has
made is in the effort to draw in the
savings of the working class by issu-
ing five shilling vouchers at post :
Offices and trade union headquarters,
as with wages on high scale in all
industrial centers there will be a
great opportunity for the worker to
buy at least first five shillings'
worth as a novelty which may be an
incentive to obtain sufficient for ex-
change into a five pound bond.
These small vouchers and bonds
will not be tied up as are the saw
ings bank deposits. which require
two or three days notice TO with

Some confusion was caused by a
vote for only $50 millions being
asked for last week and tie i"w
loan being for an unlimited amount.
but the former was only q nominal
