PLAN TO RELIEVE
GOVERNMENT
By Having War Finance
Corporation Buy Gov
ernment Holdings

Washington. d. c.. Aug. l7.-Favor-
able report on the administration s
railroad funding bill was ordered to-
day by the Senate interstate commerce
committee by vote of to 2.
The bill would authorize the war
finance corporation to use not to ex
ceed $500 100000 to purchase railroad
securities from the railroad admins
tration and prescribe interest rates
upon securities hereafter accepted from
the carriers.
A section to permit reopening of
settled accounts with the railroads for
the funding of securities of those roads
went out in committee and a provis
ion was added to prevent railroad
funding from interfering with aid for
financing agricultural exports. The life
of the corporation would be extended
to July /, 1922, under another commit
tee proviso.
Senator LaFollette, Republican, Wis
consin, voted with Senator Stanley,
Democrat, Kentucky, against reporting
the bill, while Senator Pomerenc, Dem
ocrat, Ohio, voted for it.
1t developed during the consideration
of the bill that the war finance cor
poration is now attempting TO form a
syndicate to purchase government
holdings of railroads securities and re.
lieve the government of further rail
road funding operations.

CAFE INFORMATION
OF EIGHT MURDERS
Bartolow Fontona, Arrested in New
York, May Clear Up Many De-
troit Mysterious.

Detroit, Aug 7.-Detroit police to,
day were at work ON what they as.
serted was one of the first tangible
clues to the wave of murder and bomb
ing outrages that has been sweeping
through the local Italian colony in the
past four years.
The arrest in New York yesterday
of Bartolow Fontano, former Detroit
barber, and the information he gave
concerning the murder Of eight Italians
here, led local authorities to believe
that some light might be shed on the
20 killings which have been recorded
in the Italian colony here since 1917.
Only five of the victims of the gang,
with which Fontano is said To have
admitted his connection, had been iden-
tilted by the police to-day, from New
York reports, but it was believed that
when possible discrepancies in the
names were cleared up, the others
would also be shown.
Local crimes which Fontano detailed
to the New York police ranged over a
period extending from the latter part
of 1917 to May this year All of the
victims were shot to death, and in
each instance the slayer escaped.
Two murders have occurred in the
Italian colony here within the last
month and three men are under ar
rest in connection with one. Several
stores owned by Italians have been
bombed recently, but in each instance
the owners have disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the identity of those response

BERLIN BoURSE CLOSED
Because of Speculation of Enormous
Dimensions.

New York, Aug 1.-THE Berlin
bourse has temporarily suspended OPP
erations because of the recent high
pressure Of activity, according to ad
vices received here TO day by interna
tional bankers.
IN the last three weeks speculation
on the bourse has attaibed enormous
dimensions, exceeding in volume al
most any pre-war period. Shares of
numerous industrial companies have
been most favored on reports that con
troll is being sought by foreign inter
ests. In some instances industrial is
sues have sold at highest prices in sew
en- years, advancing ten to fifty points
in one day.
Berlin bankers and spectators have
been heavy sellers of the mark. That
fact probably accounted for vester-
days low rate of German exchange
here Bills on Germany strengthened
considerably to-day, however, dealers
an active inquiry from Ber-
lin, Hamburg and Frankfort.

here this forenoon.

British troops on leave to the units
