Call Money Easier

The return to the banks Of funds
paid out by the government last Sat
urday for Liberty loan coupons was
declared to be chiefly responsible for
the drop in the call money rate to 6
per cent, following a renewal rate of
per cent. Last week nearly S60,000-
600 was withdrawn locally to aid the
Treasury Department in meeting its
May Is interest payments, and these
Withdrawals greatly emphasized the
local money strain. 1t is believed that
the easier conditions which prevailed
at the close Of the market yesterday
may continue for time, as there is
no reason to expect further govern
ment Withdrawals in the immediate
future

Railroad Financing

The creation of new bond issues is
expected to be less extensive this week,
as bankers feel that temporary lull
will be helpful. However, one i'm
portant railroad. has nearly completed
arrangements for the sale of bonds,
and it is expected that an Offering to
the public will be made this week
Moreover, several other roads, notably
the Southern Pacific aud the Great
Northern, are known to be contemplate
ing new financing, but no developments
in these instances are expected this
week.

Money and Credit

Due to the redepost of funds paid
out by the government last week in the
form Of Liberty bond interest the local
credit strain was somewhat relieved
yesterday and the call money rate for
the first time in over a week got down
to 6 per cent. The opening and re-
newal rate was 8 per cent. No fur
ther government Withdrawals are ex-
pected in the immediate future and
the consensus of brokerage opinion is
that the call rate may hold relatively
easy for while. Time money con-
tinues scarce, with no change in the
rates

Higher Discount Rates Predicted

Bankers arc awaiting with much In
terest the results Of to-day's confer
ence at Washington between the Fed
eral Reserve Board and the Glass A
directors Of the twelve regional banks
on the credit situation. Some local
bankers are of the opinion that an
other increase in the rediscount rate
on commercial paper is near and pre-
dict that the new rate will be SIX per
cent. A boosting of the Bank of Eng
land rate is also anticipated in some
quarters as a result Of the increased
sliding scale rate now paid or British
Treasury bills.

New Certificates Attractive

The 51s per cent rate on the new

Frames rose sharply in The foreign

u. S. EMERGENCY ARMY
War Department Announces De-
tails Of Organization.
First Line Will Consist of 800 600 Reg
uIars-Nationa Guard With 1885,
600 viii Form Second Line.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The war de-
partment, it was announced here, is
completing the organization for vast
emergency army, the greater portion
Of which can be modified and
eouipped for Offense or defense within
twenty-four hours. Under the plan
the first line will consist Of the regular
army of 100000 troops; the National
Guard, with 435,000 officers and men,,
will form the second line. A reserve
force for which 10000 officers have al
ready been appointed and 1900 more
are under consideration, viii form the
final and by far the most numerous
section.
While the number of troops in the
reserve force is not definitely fixed,
the skeleton organization will be such
that it can be expanded to any size the
emergency may require. The only
limit will be the number of men of
draft age in the United States.
As planned, the new National Guard
will not only be trained as coast ar
tillery, anti-aircraft units, regiments
of heavy guns and howitzers, ammuni-
ton and supply trains, etc, but all
combat commands will be armed with
rifles, pistols or machine guns, so That
any local unit will be operated as IN
fantry at will.
The strength of the National Guard,
$4,000, is practically the same num-
Der of National Guard officers and men
who were serving in the United States
army on June 90 1913.
Doubt has been expressed that such
strength can be maintained. AS an
inducement in that direction, the fol-
lowing annual scale Of pay, to include
at least 40 drills and 10 days field
service has been fixed:
Captain, S794SS; first lieutenant,
S462.72; second lieutenant, S376.96 !;
sergeants first class, S223,36; ser
geants, second class, S149,l2; SER
geants, fourth class, $115.20; corporal,
S94.72; private, first class, S74.SS; pri-
vate, $6i.

BANS LIQUOR FOR NAVY ILLS
Bureau of Medicine Order Bieks Spir-

Sea Service.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Spirtuous
liquors received their final and com
plete divorce from the United States
navy in an order made public by the
bureau of medicine and surgery, pro
hibiting their issue to naval vessels
for medicinal purposes. Not only are
medical supply depots prohibited from
issuing whisky except to hospitals, but
when their present supplies have be
come exhausted, the order states, mo
further purchases will be made and
whisky will be stricken from the sup
ply table of the medical department
of the navy. 1t is estimated that the
supply on hand will last no more than
two or three weeks "When whisky
is no longer available" the order says,
land a medical officer deems alcoholic
stimulation absolutely essential for
the preservation of human life, the
ethyl alcohol obtainatle from supply
officers may be prescrtbed."

MRS. J. PICKF0RD DIES
Physician Says Olive Thomas
Took Poison by Error.
Movie Actress Drank Deadly Potion
Following Quarrel With
Husband.

Paris, Sep~ 11.-Olive Thomas,
American moving picture actress and
wife Of Jack Pickford, died at the
American hospital at Neuilly this
morning. She was taken to the insti-
tuition several days ago suffering from
mercurial poisoning, having swallowed
bichloride OF mercury, 1t is said, by
mistake.
Dr. Joseph ChOate, an American
physician in charge Of the case, said
that the actress had swallowed solu.
tion of alcohol preparation containing
u grams of bichloride of mercury, suf-
fcient to kin % men, but he added
that she had taken il through error.
Recently, it Is said, Miss Thomas
had been suffering from nervous de-
preston and had expressed fear for
the safety of her husband. According
to DR.. Choate, it was only through the
prompt first aid given by Pickford on
his return TO the hotel, where they
were staying that Miss Thomas was
kept from dying at once.
Another report says Miss Thomas
swallowed poison after a quarrel with
her husband.
According to intlmates, the climax
TO the pickfords' Second honeymoon"
came following frequent remonstrances
by the husband against olives youth
full impulses, which led her to a sue
cession Of night parties in the com
pany of the widest of the Paris young
er set.
She was warned several times to
abandon her frequent visits to the
tango palaces and restaurants which
offer daring costumes, dances and I'M
limited champagne in exchange for
enormous sums, but she refused TO quit
her friends, among whom are several
screen personalities.
To see real old-time Paris" Olive
Sunday night, accompanied by several
of these friends, visited Dead Rat,
the most famous Of the Montmartre
resorts.
She remained at the Dead Rat"
until the closing hour, l q. m, and
then started on a taxicab round of 9th
er resorts always open to the Ameri-
can spender.
AT a a, m. she returned to the Ritz,
where she found her husband bitterly
resentful.
After listening TO her husbands re-
monstrances and apparently taken
with fit Of dependency, Olive drank
free.quarters Of bottle Of bichlorde
solution prescribed for external use.
The career of Olive Thomas, movie
star, has been likened to a moving pic
ture scenario. A few years ago she
was a cash girl in a department store
in Pittsburgh. An aunt sent her to
New York 10 study music and che
also posed for artists, one of whom
Harrison Fisher, is said to have called
her "the most beautiful girl in the
world Then she went into the cho-
rus of the "Follies" and gradually be-
came Broadway favorite before she
went into the films.
