A HALF BILLION LIMIT TO
BIG LOAN and COMMISSION
WAITS COVENANTS ACTION
Even Less Than Half Billion May Be Final Sta
tus with Interest Rate Apparently at Five Per
Cent-Next Step Thought to Await Action OF
British and French Governments - En- gl1sh
and French Credit Good-Business Review

vestors more than per cent said
one banker who has met the commls-
sion almost daily. His assertion was
interpreted as meaning that the f1ve-
wear notes to be issued by Great Brit
ain and France would bear interest at
5 per cent. and would be offered to the
public below par. So far, members OF
the commission, it was reported, have
refused to entertain the proposal that
the interest rate be greater than
per cent. Only by being purchased at
less than par could the notes be made
to yield more than this.
Not a Popular Loan
This loan will not be popular loan
in the sense that it will be widely dis
tributed among investors" another
banker said. but it will be held very
largely by the banks Of the country. l
should think it would be possible to
float a loan Of half a billion dollars,
but I do not think that a larger loan
can be floated."
Official Approval
A report was current that negotia-
tions had developed to the point where
the commission had sought official ap-
proval Of the tentative program by
Paris and London. This was neither
verified nor denied on behalf Of the
commission. 1t is generally believed
that before contract can be closed
the British and French Parliament
must ratify the commissions work.
One banker was authority for the
statement that the commission was
awaiting governmental approval be-

New York, Sept. 24.-Negotiatlons
over the proposed credit to Great Brit
ain and France continued today with
ont noteworthy development but to
the accompaniment of many reports
relating to matters said to be under
consideration.
For the first time since the Anglo
French financial commission reached
New York, a fortnight ago, there was
talk TODAY that the loan might not
be so much as half a billion dollars. 1t
seemed definitely established that II
woud not exceed this sum. Authorita-
tively it was said that this was the
amount on which negotiations at pres
ent were based, but there prevailed in
some quarters the belief that half
billion dollars represented the hopes,
rather than the actual assurances, of
the commission and its American ad-
visors.

LIST t1o0r, and passed within a few feet of
him. This was about | o'clock at which time
Frank and the negro both went out of the
building, for dinner
The crime had then been committed; or if
not, Frank alone committed it that afternoon,
for the negro did not 90 back to the factory
until Monday
The girl was dead by the time Frank and
Conley left at / o'clock, for you cannot
imagine that she could have been held a
prisoner there, during the hours of Franks
going home to dinner and coming back.
Two white men were at work on the top
floor, and Frank would not have dared to
leave Mary in the house, captive
SO you necessarily come to the conclusion
that when Mrs White and Frank and the
negro left at 1 o'clock, the crime had been
committed.
Remember that her body was cold and stiff
when found in the basement, accidcntu71y,
that night at o'clock
Having established the time of the murder,
let us fix the place.
The scalp wound in the back of the head
went to the bone, caused Slight hen209Th0ge

When the body was found, the heir QrdS

How did the murderer get the chance to hit
And what became of the blood?
There was none in the basement where the
body lay for hours
There was no blood on Jim's floor. just
above the basement, and just below Frank s
floor
But Franks own employees made an out
cry on Monday morning about the splotches
of blood, on Franks floor, that had not been
there when they knocked off work. Friday

Hooo did the blood get there after F1iday,
and before Monday?
And how came WOman's hair which

Friday evening, q0ith0ut the hair on 1t?
How did the hair get on that crank, after
Friday night, and before Monday morning.
The crank was just the thing to give the
girls head fearful blow as she fell against
it, after having been struck violently in the
face.
That it should cut the scalp and tear out
some of her hair, was natural.
But if not Mary Phagan's hair and blood,
whose was it? No woman ever claimed that
the blood might be his.
And remember, that the terrible force Of

Therefore, you have the m0tjre providI

They allowed Is white ladies to swear to
Franks lasciviousness and were afraid to Ia

the world as a model of chastity who is being
prosecuted because he is a Jew.
Those Is white ladies were on "a psychic
drunk, says the Kansas man.
The 18th question is Who was with the girI
the last time she was seen alive, Immediately
before the tragedy?
BY his own confession, Frank has to admit
that he IS that man, Then doesn't the crna
get right up to him?

which she repealed, and as she was almost IS
heavy and strong as himself, he could MT
force her. This reused his passion. and he
struck the child in the face, knocking her

How far he went in his intent to rape can
not be told with certainty from the evidences.
The drawer leg was ripped all the way up
the seam; the privates were bloody thu
drawers were bloody, and in internal blood

before death, according to Dr. Harris.
When Frank found that the girl had been

frightened off her. leaving his purpose un-
accomplished.
AS to there being any evidence against thu
negro, there never was a particle. What tbs
