Navy Department Receives Report.

The navy board. headed by Admiral
Boush. which is today examining the
wreck of the submarine F4. now on
the floating drydock at Honolulu. will
make every effort to determine the
cause of the disaster. Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt of the Navy Department
said today it was desired that every
clue be pursued fully.
The department is as yet absolutely
without information on that point.
Mr.. Roosevelt received today the re-
port of navy board which took testi-
mony of all persons who had knoWl :
edge of the history and condition of the
vessel just before she put out on her
ill-fated practice cruise The sub
stance of that testimony has been made
public previously. and Mr. Roosevelt
said today that while he had not stud
led the report as yet, his impression
was that it threw mo conclusive light
on the loss of the submarine.
The department wished to get all the
facts to the accident. he said, deny
ing a published statement that officers
here were worried over possible "reve-
lations"
officials of the Navy Department de-
clare that the raising of the F-4 from
depth of 800 feet was an unprece-
dented feat, no other vessel ever hav-
ing been ra ised from such a depth of
water Acting Secretary Roosevelt has
issued a statement praISing the naval
officers engaged in the salvage oper-
ations, saying that it was due to their
untiring efforts that the vessel was
successfully foated

British Financiers Awaken
to Seriousness of Situation
in International EXCHANGE

LONDON. August 31.-The American
exchange problem is becoming more
serious. Notwithstanding recent ship
ments of gold to New York. Ca BILE
transfers were traded in to a consider
able amount this morning at 1901.
The quotation declined later to 4.6Oh
to 4.60A, but trading was quieter at
this level Insurance houses and other
financial institutions are taking advan-
tage of the low rate to sell further
blocks of American bonds as the de-
probation in these securities is more
than balanced by the profit on ex-
change, even considering the cost of
insurng and shipping bonds.
American financial houses and Brit
ish traders who have funds to remit to
America face loss of more than 5
per cent at the present low level of
exchange. In some quarters a rate as
low as $50 is being talked of for the
near future, unless effective action is
taken.

cars in Mississippi must pay the priv
ilege tax of SO a car under chapter
SO, laws of 1914, regardless of the $50
tax paid by the public garage that
might also be maintained. This is
the opinion of Assistant Attorney
General Lamar Easterling, who has
written a letter to State Auditor Dun
can l.. Thompson, in response to an
inquiry from that official.
The 1914 automobile law imposes a
privilege tax of $50 on each public
garage and a privilege tax of SO on
each automobile for rent or hire.
Chapter 120, laws of 1914, imposes a
county road privilege tax of sc cent
