STERLING SITUATION
 RELIEVED BY LOAN
Money Is Abundant and Cheap at
 Current Rates
Especial to the Herald,

New York, Oct. g., 1915.-Placing l of the allies loan of $500, 100000 in New York must be regarded as the greatest transaction and the greatest success. in financial history. For the | time being it gives New York unqual- I flied primacy in the worlds money market; and, though London will un- | doubtedly regain it's leadership after the war, the importance of New York | as financial center has been per-
 manently advanced to a close second; the strength and position of European ! financial centers having meantime
 been correspondingly diminished Henceforth London and New York
 will be the controlling factors in the
 worlds money markets. Should they ever choose to work together, as in the present instance, they will prove irresistible. More likely, however,
 they will prove keen though friendly
 rivals in the coming struggle for the
 worlds markets; for without support
 of the bankers, our merchants and
 manufacturers cannot secure the GOV
 eted trade, after which the United
 States as we'll as the United Kingdom
 is going in search with all its power
 and capabilities.
 The most important immediate ef-
 feet of the loan was a very positive
 relief in the sterling exchange situa-
 tion, which had reached a stage that
 was rapidly making international
 trading impossible. Now that ex-
 change is nearer normal conditions, the currents of foreign trade should run with more smoothness. The sea-
 son is opening when the floodtide of exports begins. Shipments of grain, cotton and other natural products will continue to run on a heavy scale for several months to come. Europe needs our big surplus. Indeed we must sell, for if our farmers do not find a good market for this surplus, the result here would be disaster and discontent. This loan is, therefore, quite as much benefit to ourselves as to the allies. Our exports are also being stimulated as every one knows by heavy shipments of war ma terials; so that in view of continued small imports the outlook is for a continued huge excess of exports run ming at the rate of about $100,00O,000 to 0,000,000 per month. Some experts already calculate that if the war continues, the surplus when the fiscal year ends will have reached anywhere from $500, 100000 to $1,- 500, 100000. Continued small imports due to Europe's limited ability to sell, are a problem that time alone will solve. Our customs revenue Is being sharply reduced, and the treasury de-. ficit is growing, with increasing ex- pendiutres for preparedness" ahead. Some new form of taxation will be inayita a bIe Varv little additional can be raised from the tariff, for the req son that an advance in duties would still further restrict imports, and tend to diminish rather than increase cus- toms revenue.

Exchange have decided to connect the
 Exchange for the comng season with the Tea Room. ConsignerS who have been accustomed to take their work to 2S Court street will now leave it with Miss Grindrod, 4v Main street, who assists the Exchange by having a receiving depot at her store, where a committee meets at frequent inter- vals to inspect all work submitted, and transfer it to the Craft Shop. By this arrangement, it is expected that the Exchange will gain larger field of usefulness, while losing none of it's loyal friends, whose interest and sub- stantial support, the directors wish to acknowledge. There can be an en- thusiastic rally in behalf of this two- fold enterprise. which helps to solve the financial problem in many a home, and at the same time provides pleas ant meeting place, and much dainty good cheer.

American Steel Foundries, Colorado Fuel, Crucible Steel and American Coal Products advanced one to three, but some of these issues soon reacted.

Believes Jealousy Prompted
Murder of Stanford White.
NEW HAMPSHIRE HOSPITAL
HEAD GIVES HIS REASONS
Cites Fact That q Paranoiac Never
Expresses Regret for a Deed,
Whereas Thaw Did.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-Dr. Charles
P Bancroft, head of the New Hamp-
shire State Hospital for the Insane and
a member of the federal commission
which examined Harry X. Thaw during
his sojourn in New Hampshire. swore
on the witness stand today that In his
opinion Thaw not only was sane, but
always had been sane. DR.. Bancroft
testified as an expert alienist in the
Jury proceedings to determine Thaw's
mental condition.
Thaw's act in killing Stanford White,
DIR. Bancroft said, was not the product
Of a systematized delusion such as
characterizes the true paranoiac.
THE killing of Stanford White he
said, appeared to US a passionate, i'm
pulsive act, growing out of a condition
of mind due chiefly to anger and jeal-
ousy, which was the final elimination
Of series of circumstances that had
been bearing down on him a long time.
was due to jealousy of Mr.. White, not
to a diseased condition Of mind
Wanted to Get Even,
"Thaw knew that White had heen
antagonistic to him In an unpleasant
way. He wanted to get even with
White. His act was the product of a
sane mind, which. after he had in
dulged in champagne, suddenly lost con-
troll Of itself.
Then you believe Thaw never was
insaneo" asked Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Becker.
81 do was the reply. Another rea-
son for my belief is that Thaw express
ed regret for his deed. A paranoiac
never expresses regret. He continually
tries to Justify the deed. and no amount
OF persuasion can convince him that he
mas done wrong"
DR.. Hickling Found Thaw Sane.
Dr.. Bancroft said he had given Thaw a
There is not a doubt or suspicion in
my mind as to this mans sanity" he
testified.
DIR. D. Percy Hickling of Washington,
D. c. president of the American Society
ber of the New hampshire commission,
testified that he, too, mad found Thaw

He had examined Thaw at the Mattea-

Nc. Ruling to Be Made by JUS
tice Mccoy Until After
Vacation Period.
BOTH PARTIES IN SAME
POSITION AS AT START
Preliminary ,ordef of Injunction
Against osatals Of Treasury
Department to Stand.

Treasury oflcials and officers of the
Riggs National Bank will have to wait
until next fall for a ruling by Justice
Mccoy of the District Supreme Court
regarding the $1,000 assessed against
the bank as a fine by John Shelton
Williams. controller of the currency.
for failure to make certain reports
asked of the bank by the controller.
Justice Mccoy announced today that
the press OF the cases which had ac-
cumulated under submission prior to
the hearing of the Riggs banks con-
troversy against the government off,
cials has prevented the fruition Of the
hope expressed by him from the bench
at the conclusion of the hearing.
The. court then announced that he
expected to leave for his vacation July
and hoped to be able to read the
voluminous record and inspect the nu-
merous citations in time to act on the
Riggs Bank matter before vacation.
He now finds this will be utterly i'm
possible, and SO advised The Stars rep
resentative today that his decision will
be deferred until after court convenes
next October.
Two Motions Submitted.
Two motions are under submission.
One is by Secretary McAdoo, Treasurer
Burke and Controller Williams to dis
miss the suit for injunction instituted
April - last by the Riggs National
Bank to enjoin the retention of $4,000
due the bank for interest on its bonds
to secure circulation, and from cover
ing this sum into the Treasury in pay
ment Of the fine alleged to have been
unlawfully imposed by the controller.
The officials claim the case is in reality
against the United States and should
be prosecuted, If at all, in the Court of
jurisdiction to pass on the question.
The other motion is by the bank, ask
ing the court to allow the preliminary
injunction granted on the filing of the
bill to remain in force until a final
hearing of the controversy on its
merits.
Attorney Is Not Surprised.
Attorney Frank J. Hogan, who assist
ed former Senator Bailey of Texas in
the presentation Of the arguments on
behalf of the bank, was not surprised
when advised by The Star reporter of
the inability of Justice Mccoy to find
time to take up the Riggs Bank matter
before vacation; He said he expected
reviewing the record in the Riggs case
would be too difficult an Undertaking
to dispose of before vacation in connec-
tion with the large number of cases
already under consideration by the
The necessary delay in announcing
a decision will not operate against the
hank, II is suggested, as the prelim-
mary order of Injunction against the
officials continues In force until further
order Of the court, and both parties are
left in the same position as when the
smit was instituted in April.
