RIO DE JANEIRo.

The first permaner settlement on the site of Rio de Janeir1 was plant ed by French Protestants in the mid de of the sixteenth century, but it was not until 1T63 that the capital was transferred from Bahia, to Rio. The present magnificent city, with population of a million and a quarter, may almost be said to date from I 2 years ago today, for it was on Sept. IS, 1903, that the decree for the re- building of the city was promulgated Loans aggregating S60, 600, 900 to car ry on this work were contracted, and within a decade the Brazilian capital, from plague spot. was transformed into one of the most beautiful and healthful of the worlds great cities. The conktruction of quay and g. large avenue parallel with the quay. the Improvement of the water and sewerage systems, the cutting down of hills, the widening of streets, and the building of new avenues through the city, were included in the plans. Over 500 buildings were demolished in building the Avenida Central, and the handsome new. structures since reared along this street. make it one of the finest in the world.

HENRY FORD HAS
 NEW SUBMARINE FOR SMALL COST

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 18-Henry Ford says he has a staggering blow for the Tournament crowd stored up for delivery when he holds a con ference with Secretary of the Navy Daniels in Washington next week in connection with business of the Naval Advisory Board.
 'tIt would be no trick at all to build a submarine one-fourth of the size of those now in use that could carry a pill at the end of a pole with sufficient explosive power to hoist the mightiest -dreadnought ever built out of the sea, and I am going to tell Secretary Daniels so when l see him, said MT. Ford today.
 These new submarines would cost only a fraction of what the present ones cost, and only a fraction of per cent of what our latest dread noughts will cost,''@ne added That will be a heartbreaker for the arma- ment people, for they are constantly urging us to build batt1eships that cost more and more- Dreadnoughts used to cost a, few million dollars. In a few years they advanced to $15,- 100000
 Submarines equipped with gaso- line engines for their entire, motive power can be made to weigh a quar- ter of what the present ones do. They can be made to be propelled and guided, not only from side to side but up and down in the water, entirely by their own power. They can be made to swim around with @as much freedom of motion as a fish.
 Will Demonstrate Machine
 .sIf the public is sufficiently inter ested in such proposition, we might arrange to give a demonstration of such a machine at some time in the near future.
 These submarines will immediate 1y make our $15.0O0,O00 battleships obsolete There will be no use in put ting millions in ships that can't stand up against a terror of the deep that costs only a few thousand dollars. With the explosives that can be ob- tained the loss of life will be so ap- spaI1ing the very terror of it will be an influence for peace.
 Behind the war cry for a bigger navy all the time is the greed of the men who sit back in their easy chairs and smile up their sleeves as they see huge profits coming to them from wasted expenditures for batt1eships and big guns. These men foment the war spirit, get the people to believe huge sums of money must be spent for national defense and we follow them b1indly, wasting our hard earn ted money. Then some other country, seeing our armament grow, spends a 4Ol or money Iy1hSS lO hSep up W4Ll1 us. The whole thing is an extrava- gant farce and a. surecause of war. all for the benefit of the. men who make the equipment.
 No FortIs for War Purposes
 MT. Ford took occasion to reprove the Defense League, which has claimed he had sold thousands of cars fer war purposes.
 .I have never sold a, car for war purposes and I never will, except for the defense of the United States in case of invasion he said emphati- cally.4 Some Fords have gone for ward for use syanbuIances and there may be a few of the cars used in fighting, but they were not sold for that purpose Two weeks ago a war ring Government tried to buy 100, ,00O cars from me I refused even to an swer their message

HARTFORD MAYOR GETS PROTEST ON
 ''NATION' FILMS

Hartford, Sept. 1S-The Rev. Wal ter Gay of No. 558SGarden street, call ed tupon Mayor L4awler at city hall yesterday and protested against the portrayal of the moving picture spec tacIe, ssThe Birth of a Nation" an nounced to be shown at a. local thea ter at an early date. MT. Gay said he was an officer of an organization of coIored people opposed to the preSen- tationA of the pictures in this city be- cause of incidents illustrated which were likely to promote the degrada- ton of coIored people and tend to in- cite race hatred
 Mayor Lawler told MT. Gay he knew little or nothing of the. character of the production other than comment he had seen in the newspapers. He said he had talked informally with sthe theater owner about the forth coming production and probably would talk further with him.
 There has been opposition to the showing of the films in other cities. but it has been intimated that the filing of protests against forthcom- ing appearances in certain cities merely redounded to the prosperity of the box office. The scenes depicted in the films are from the Rev.~Thon- as Dixons play "The Clansman.''
 The presentation of the pictures in Philadelphia, a few days ago, precip- itated 8 riot and police were called to protect the film and the men. pro- ducing it.
 When '.The Clansman'' was billed for production as a play in local theater, about seven years ago, col ored people of Hartford registered vigorous protest with Judge William F. Henney, who was then mayor Mayor. Henney went to New York to see the play prior to the date set for itss presentation here, and upon his return issued the desired license au- tn orizing it's production.

BANKER IS GONE,
 HIS AUTO FOUND
 ON EDGE OF POND

Stamford. Conn.,. Sept. 1S--An empty touring car vas found earIyEyes- terday lying partly in Cove Pond, near here and partly against the stone wall supporting a road which runs past the pond.
 After the police here had been mo- tified the car was found to be that of Harry s. Bradley of Woodhaven, L. T., note teller of a. bank in Wall Street, New York.
 The police at first thought that Mir. Bradley. who started away from the house of his mother here alone in his automobile with three se1itcases. telling relatives here that he was go- ing to New Haven, had met with an accident and that he had probably been drowned in Cove Pond, which is connected with Noroton River near the edge of Long Island Sound.
 The water, however, was found to be very shallow and a thorough search of the vicinity made it certain that he could not either have been drowned or killed in the accident.
 When the automobile was searched, there were found, instead of the three suitcases with which MT. Bradley had left the house of his mother, only a single suit case which contained some clothes and some automobile tools.
 Accident Theory Secuted
 A further examination of the sur roundings made it seem unlikely that an accident had occurred at all and been abandoned. For while the local police worked on the theory that MT. Bradley might have been held up and murdered, the two missing suit cases stolen and his body hidden. A thorough search of the route taken by the machine, after it left the residence of MT. Bradley's mother, failed to bear out the theory.
 The police made an investigation to discover whether any one had taken out any of the yachts or motor boats which lie at the mouth of the Moro ton River near Long Island Sound early yesterday morning It could not be learned whether this investiga- ton had thrown any light on the mys- tery.
 Men who said they represented MT. BradIey's employers came here yes terday to make inquiries regarding g him and two other employees who had been taking their vacations near here.
 After word of the finding of the au- tonobile had been sent to New York, several detectives from New York hurried to Stamford and began an investigation.
 The police here said today that they had been unable to find out%what the two missing suitcases contained. Neither at the residence of MT. Brad 1ey's relatives in this city nor at his home at Woodhaven, L. T., could it be learned last night whether any fur ther trace of him had been obtained since he left his mothers home.
 Had Been Very Nervous
 MT. Bradley. it was said, was on his annual vacation. He had been in Vermont and had a few days ago brought back his wife and baby to their home at Woodhaven. Immedi- ateIy after returning from Vermont, he came here to visit his mother.
 His mother said today that during his stay with her he had been ex- tremely nervous from overwork and because of the death of his son in an automobile accident a year ago.

INTEREST RATES AND TIME HOLD
 UP CREDIT DEAL
Perplexing Questions Before Allies Agents Seeking
 Big Loan Here.

New York, Sept. 1S.-The parties
 to the negotiations looking to the ere | ation of a mammoth credit loan here to Great Britain and France, met in secret again to-day in an effort to ad- just their differences over this ques- tion:
 Shall the big credit-billion dollars or otherwise-provide funds for the payment of munitions of war as we'll
 as wheat, cotton and other comIno- dities, or shall separate and dis tinct method be adopted in settling the bill for rifles, shrapne1, war auto mobiles, aeroplanes and other articles coming under the meaning of war munitions?
 The commission conducting nego- tiations behalf of Great Britain and France are said to want the cred 1t to take care of munitions The American bankers-or what appears to be a majority of then-apparentl do not In their camps, however,
 there is marked division of opinion Upon the following things both parties are said to have reached an agreement: five years, ten years or from five to ten years, as may be deemed advi- | sable 1aters the form of the bonds,
 which are to be first lien (f1rst mort gage) bonds on Great Britain and
 France, Jointly; and that there shall be collateral
 On the other hand there is appa- rent disagreement on these features of the proposed credit:
 The question of including muni- tions of war; the matter of Russia's participation, and the interest rate
 The last named, is said, however, is virtually. settled as the commission has taken the positive stand that Great Britain and France will not cent. interest rate, bankers and in vestors to obtain the bonds on the
 same terms If this be the case
 there will be no syndicate no big
 fees for placing the loan and the sub4 scription books will be open to all
 corners, pro-German or pr-oally. So-ca1led pro-German fnanciers of New York. it is understood. are will ing to subscribe nbera11y to such 8
 loan if none of the money be spent in
 paying for munitions of war. A possible solution for the vexing
 munitions question is that such equip- ments be paid for in gold, to be ship
 France. It is a matter of general knowledge that the two nations are prepared to ship enough gold here to do this at present, although bankers here are of the belief that this is
 undesirable as it would tend toward speculation.
 As to the interest rate, most Aneri- can bankers seemed to have become
 reconci1ed although in some quarters l it is felt that the bankers handling the loan should be paid at least one-half 1 of one per cent for their trouble. The Russian question, too, is re7 garded as minor. The point in this
 phase Is that some American bank 1 CTS believe they should deal directly with Russia and not through Great Britain Tn this connection it is pointed out that when the war ends
 the United States will find in Russia a great and receptive market and that if negotiations over the 1oan are l direct the way will have been paved toward close commercial relations be- tween the two nations at that time. Plans have been made by the com missioners to spend Sunday out of town.

ERE, POISON VICTIM,
 FIGHTING FOR LIFE.

New York, Sept. 1S.ANewman Erb was reported to-day to be in a com fortable and satisfactory condition, no change having taken place since he recovered from the first effects of the two poison tablets he swallowed by mistake four days ago. MT. Erb is confined to his summer home at Deal. N. J., where surrounded by his family. he is calmly awaiting the cri- sis which four physicians have told him may be expected tomorrow or Monday.
 The fact that the hnancier, who is 65 years old, has been entirely free from pain or discomfort of any sort since few hours after taking the poison, has led the physicians to ex- press the opinion that MT. Erb has a good chance for recovery.
