EISNER BLANES DYNASTY
Opposes Printing Proofs in Fear They
Would Cause Public Outbreak

Munich. Jan. 3.--In the course OF
question raised in the provincial coun-
Gil regarding anti-revolutionary aeita-
ton Kurt Eisncr. Bavarian Premier, re.
ferrng to attempts to influence opinion
in favor OF Crown Prince Rupprecht
said It would he grievous mistake to
compel him TO publish the proofs of the
guilt of the dynasty. because they
would he of such a nature as TO cause
an outbreak Of wrath among the people
and imperil the lives of the members
of the dynasty.

Little real information regarding the
progress OF the investigation of the en-
plosions is being given out by the police.
Bare hints of many theories have been
numerous, but no details or facts to
bear them out have found their way to
light at police headquarters.
Hints of a mysterious influence which
was blamed for the outrages, have not
brought anything definite. 1t was said
that this influence had used the l. w. w.
as tool for its designs. Police ofh-
Cials have taken an air Of confidence
that big developments could be expected
before today, but so far as they will
admit they have no evidence newer than
that found the night of the explosion.
The police. however. have continued
with vigor their investigation of every
known l. w. w. or radical OF anarchistic
tendencies. and this investigation will
continue with the hope of learning Of
something that will lead to the real plot
tiers.

si37 900 900 in the deposits OF savings
banks. This compares with n drop o.
e5,000oo0 on January |, 1917, two
months after the first Victory Loan was
launched. but under the conditions Of
the first loan payment ia full could not
be made until the due date of the second
installment.
Z The accounts of savings depositors in
creased steadily after that date, from
month to month. when the second loan
was issued payment of subscriptions in
full was permitted before the subscrip-
lions closed and this is taken as "a con-
elusive indication that the bonds were
nearly all paid for in full by the de-
positors of savings banks generally last
November.
-r Big Increase in Discounts
The November statement shows that
current loans and discounts in Canada
registered n record-breaking increase.
An increase of sGo.000,V0G in october
has been followed by one of S79000.0OO
in November. and for the first time in
about two years current loans are now
in excess Of the savings deposits, on
which they are largely based.
Reasons for these enormous increases
in credit advanced by the banks to busl-
ness are probably contained in the high
value of the years output of agricul-
tursl products and a slower process of
marketing than year ago.
The fact that the visible supply of
wheat In Canada last week was l4,000-
coo bushels, or more than so per cent
higher than year ago, although this
years crop was the smaller. Is of poss-
Bile significance in this connection. Cir
culation. like current loans, also ad-
yanced to a new nigh level
Another unusual change in the state
ment is an increase of close to $l2 ,O0O,-
900 in call loans in Canada.

Referring to he increase in freight
and passenger rates six months ago,
Mr.. McAduo said that similar action
would have been necessary even under
private management to prevent serious
losses, and said it should be possible to
lowcr rates materially this year.
Uniformity of rates of equal dstribu-
ton of the rate burden over all rail-
roads regardless OF the ract that some
are unusually prosperous and others
poverty stricken, is possible only under
unified control, Mr.. McAdoo urged as
another argument for the-Nve year con-

SCHOOL PENSIONS
ARE ASKED AGAIN

Chairman Carl Z. Mapes, OF the Dis
trict Committee, has reintroduced the
teachers retirement bill which was
previously reported favorabiy. but
was not called up because Of the
press Of other business.
The teachers of the District are
virtually a unit in favor of the meas
ure. Thirty-three States have at
ready recognized the peculiar claims
of school teachers for a pension sys-
tenn, and have provided it by legisla-
ton.
The pending bill presents a comb
nation of the contributory and the
pension systems. 4 certain percentage
of the teachers salary is deducted
monthly and placed at interest to her
benefit. At the age Of retirement this
sum is used to purchase an annuity.
and the Government contributes
stated sum. based upon her term OF
service. as long as she livesS
Contributions by the teachers and
the Federal Government are in the
approximate proportion Of so to 40.
$500 Teachers In District.
There arc today nearly $500 teach
ers in the District. with a payroll oil
$2.162 900, making the average salary
a little less than $1,000.
The plan contemplates the Jumping
OF monthly salary deductions in the
United States Treasury, compounded
for the teachers benefit at 4 per cent
annually The percentage deducted
will vary with the ages at which the
teachers enter the service, running
from to S per cent.
II the teacher withdraws from the
service before the retirement age, she
will receive back from the Treasury
all her contributions, plus accumu-
lations. If she dies before retirement
this sum will go to her legal repre-
sentatives.
The minimum retirement age Is
sixty-two years; tho maximum lex
cept in an exceptional case) is sew
enty years. In case OF disability be-
tween the ages of fiftX-two and six
ty-two. the teacher may retire with
full privileges.
Must Serve Ten Years.
No teacher will receive anything
from the Government unless she has
served the District ten years.
When a teacher is entitled to re-
tire with pension privileges, she will
receive from her accumulations in the
Treasury. in the form OF an annuity,
a sum equal to 1 per cent Of her
salary for each year of service. She
will also receive from the Govern
ment an annual payment of SO FOR
each year Of her service.
There is a minimum income OF $500
yearly for those retiring Aetwesn the
ages OF fifty-two and two.
The cost to the Gov ment the
first year will be approximately
$40 900. This will gradually increase
until il reaches a maximum Of
$4,000 in twenty-five years. 1t will
remain at that figure for a few years,
and then will gradually decrease for
about thirty years until it reaches a
practical level of Az per cent to
per cent Of the annuafPsS,r roll.
