Reports i'm N. Y. Give Strength
to Foreign Exchange.
From Three to Five Hundred
Million Sought.
BANKERS SEE OBSTACLES
Washington Might Object on
Grounds of Neutrality.
Our Ability to Consume Huge
Amounts Questioned.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Reports that
negotiations were under way for the
flotation of a big foreign loan in New
York impaired strength to the for
eign exchange market today, nOtwith-
standing the opinion in we'll informed
circles that there are yet many obsta-
Cles 70 placing such a loan and that
in reality a remedy for the situation
was no nearer then several days ago
when depreciation of foreign moneys
gave rise to alarm
Two questions locmeG large in the
discussion as to the practicability of
American bankers attempting to un-
derwrite a loan to Great Britain or
her allies. or both. of from 100000
900 10 S50O.0OO,000 These questions
were:
Would the Washington administra-
ton regard the underwriting of a
mammoth loan of this sort as against
the spirit of American neutrality
Could a loan of these huge proper
tions be placed in this country if un-
derwritten on terms that Great Britain
could afford to srant?
Ship Gold Here.
Reports current in Wall street
cabled from London overnight, that
Great Britain and her allies were said
to be contemplating shipments of
S25O,00O,O00 gold to the United States
were received with skepticism. 1t was
pointed out that not only would such
shipments be without parallel, but
even if made, they would, of necessity,
extende over long period. at the
end of which the debt to America
probably would be as large as ever
Another point raised is whether all
the money would be used to meet bills
IN this country or some portion be sent
abroad. In financial circles, it was
considered a foregone conclusion that
the Washington administration would
not countenance foreign loan, any
part of which would find it's way
abroad to be utilized by the allies in
their struggle against powers now at
peace with the United States.
Too Big to Absorb
There was some question, it was
understood. whether a $500, 600. 600
loan could be absorbed in this country
unless there was a demand for it's alb
sorptiOn from interior banks
These, and other questions of minor
import. were acting a brake on ne
gotiations that otherwise would be
progressing with celebrity and smooth
ness. And, while the plans to relieve
the situation seemed to mark time, the
markets still depressed many points
below normal, showed a tendency to
strength and took on quieter tone
and appearance

commission sharply criticizes the al
legged improper stock transactions by
the Rock Island, the record of which,
it says, emphasizes the need of rail-
way directors who actually direct.
The inquiry, the commission says,
has demonstrated the need of legal
limitation of railroad securities.
The aggregate losses to the Rock
Island in the Alton, Frisco and other
deals are summarized by the commits
sion as follows:
Frisco deal, approximately Sc, $780,
600; Alton deal. approximately $6,-
$40, 200; Trinity & Brazos Valley rail-
way deal, more than $4,500,000; con-
solidated Indiana Dering Coal COM
pany, at least S1,300,00O, and $780,
900 additional if advances made to
the coal companies cannot be col
lected; contributions or gratuities to Of
ficers and directors, about S1,000,000:
expenses of maintaining and housing
holding companies, more than $780,
900; transaction of G. H. Nenner, a
stakeholder, s217,000; miscellaneous
and unexplained expenditures, S72,-
523. The items show an aggregate
loss to the railway company of more
than $2O,0OO.OOO.
In addition thereto, it is to be
noted that prior to June so, 1914,
the railway company paid to financial
institutions, including the issuance of
than $1,6O0,O00 and suffered dis
counts of more than ST., 100000
In general criticism the commits
sion says:
THE property of the railway COM
pany will be called upon for many
years to make up the drain upon it's
resources resulting from transactions
outside the proper sphere in which
stockholders had a right to suppose
their moneys were invested. This rec
ord emphasizes the need of railway
directors who actually direct. There
are too many passive directors who ac-
quleSce in what is being done without
knowledge and without investigation
A director of a railroad is a quasi-pub-
lie official who occupies a position of
trust A director who submits blindly
to the exploitation of his company is a
party to its undoing and he should
be held responsible to the same ex-
tent as if he had been a principal in
stead of an accessory before the fact
The greater his prominence the great
er his responsibility and the greater
his dereliction.
obviously, a man of large affairs
could not attend to all the details in
intricate transactions but it is incon-
cetVable that a director with ordinary
business prudence md sagacity would
sanction large expenditures without
an inquiry as to the purposes of such
disbursements. So long as this sys-
tenn exists, however, it suggests the
need of law to charge such direct
ors with individual responsibility for
the dissipation of corporate funds

little more than a year ago to visit
her sister, who at the time was stay
ing at the home of the young man S
parents in Marysville.
Shortly after the girls arrival in
Marysville, her sister was called to
their home in Texas. On invitation of
members of the family and the advice
of her sister the young woman decided
to remain in Marysville until her rela-
tive returned from Texas Shortly
after her sister left, the son of her
host began to show her considerable
attention. Apparently he was deeply
in love with her and promised, she
claims, to marry her. This promise he
never kept.
She Came TO Topeka.
To keep her disgrace from her
friends and especially from her par
ents who reside in Texas, the girl came
to Topeka and here gave birth to her
child.
Knowing that the young man is
member of the National Guard and
learning that his company would pass
through Topeka Monday, the girl went
to the Union Pacific station to meet
him. After catching sight of him
among his companions, her nerve for
sock her and she called on Patrollnan
Ransom to assist her.
The sight of the policeman caused
the young man some uneasiness, and
he appeared to resent the small re-
gard the young woman gave to the
consequences for him, if the affair be-
came public. He absolutely refused,
however. to make any provision either
for the girl or the baby.
His only comment on the child was
when the mother held it before him at
the beginning of the interview.
It's q fine looking baby, he said
The girl could not be persuaded by
Officer Ransom to divulge her name
or to bring any action against the
young man. She prefers to remain
silent to keep the affair from her par

TO CORRUPT LABOR
Berlin Declared to Be Back of
c. S. Strikes.
GOmpers Repeats Charges He
Has Been approached.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, has issued a
statement expressing the opinion that
diligent inquiry should be made of
charges published by the New York
World that German agents in the
United States, with the approval of
high officials of the German govern
ment, have been fomenting labor
troubles in plants making war sup
plies for the allies.
Mr.. Gompers reiterated his recent
assertion that attempts had been made
to involve him in schemes to call
strikes. He said that an inquiry
would be fruitful of results if direct
ed at efforts corruptly to bring about
strikes among longshoremen and sea
men.
Secretary Lansing has authorized
the announcement that the state de-
partment has made no investigation
of the Worlds charges. Attorney Gen
eral Gregory refused to comment upon

Judge Morris concluded that the
presence of the body in Marietta all
day would be likely to cause other
demonstrations and hastily matured
plan to avert this trouble. Getting a
motor car, he caught up with the I'M

them take the body direct to Atlanta.

Not a state of HoodIums.

Georgia is the leading state of the
south. Its people cannot be classed
with tramps, hoodlums, bandits and
law breakers, but things had come to a
point where every avenue of the law
had been exhausted and the judg-
ment of the courts set aside by one
man. and the people felt that it was
up to them to take the law into their
hands.
'sWhile we people of Georgia deplore
this deed of Monday night, we know
what is behind the feeling that
prompted it, and 1 want it understood
that it is simply emphasizing the fact
that when it comes to a woman
honor, there is no limit we will not go
to avenge and to protect
There were only two persons i'm
plicated in the death of Mary Phagan
I know the negro did not commit the
deed and am positive that rs per cent
of the people of Georgia are convinced
that the man lynched Monday night
committed the deed, and they are on
the ground and ought to know.
