His body was found lying across

the house where the card game was
held, where 1t had been dragged after

all trace Of murder.

found cards Identical with those used

as a witness. The girl says she
helped to drag the body to the tracks.

ASQU|TH WARNS
Tells Taxpayers They Cannot
Expect America to Cancel
British Obligations.
ny Intr,n.tionaI News Service.

LONDON, Aug. b.-Former P'e-
mier H. II. Asquith, in a speech al
Oxford today, warned British tax
payers that they cannot expect the
United States to cancel the debt owed
to them by Great Britain. The debt,
with interest, amounts to about
$4,000. 900. 900.
ITO try to lull the English tax
payer into the illusion that we can
offset these imaginary. assets against
our solid obligations to the United
States, which we are In honor bound
to meet and are willing to discharge,
Is a clumsy piece OF political Ieger-
demain," said the former premier.
The best friends of ther British
taxpayer are those who view the
facts and warn against allowing an
European settlement being delayed
and entangled with possible bitter
ness and estrangement between
Britain and the United States"
1t was reliably reported here to-
day that Premier Poincare will bring
up the question Of priority payments
of German indemnity to restore the
war-devastated regions Of France
when he consults with the British,
Belgian and Italian representatives
here next week.
There seems to be little, II any,
prospect Of German indemnity being
reduced.

Let us hear no more nonsense

The greatest kindness we can

to make it any billion-dollar gifts.

and I believe will demand, both
for its own sake and for the effect

LONDON LEAST
EXPEMS|VEB|C
CITY IN WORLD
Americans Not FIeeced as in
Other Parts Of Europe.
Correspondent Finds.
BY ROBERT J. PREV.
Universal Service.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Although It
now costs visitors twice as much as
in the days before the war to spend
a vacation in London, there is no
truth In reports that profiteering is
bieng INDUCED in. especially at the
expense Of Americans.
The brighter London society,
whose object Is to attract Americans
here in greater numbers, says that
London Is still. comparatively, one
Of the cheapest great world cities.
However. intelligent visitors need
mo assurance from interested hotel
keepers, restaurant and theater men
that they get fair treatment in Lon
don. 1t is an indisputable fact that
Americans are not Disseminated
against here as they are in Paris.
Where Americans are forced to
pay high prices, Englishmen do not
escape the same treatment. This city
Is very expensive only to the type Of
American citizen who insists on
spending money.
A single room with bath at the
Savoy hotel at the height Of the sea-
son In June and July costs from
81 upward. A double room was $40.
The rates are slightly higher at
Claridges, the Carlton and the Ritz.
A lunch without wine at the Savoy
restaurant costs $3.50 and dinner
$2.50. In the grill room luncheon or
dinner with wine comes to about IS.
The best cigars are 81 cents and
is $3.50.
At the Cafe Royal this week a
prominent New Yorker was enter
tained. There were twelve covers
and the check totaled $50. This in
cluded six bottles OF good white
wine, five bottles of red wine, and
two bottles OF the best champagne.
The finest brands Of Champagne
sell at the best restaurants at 81 q
quart.
Throughout the summer Universal
Service has found no single instance
OF any American paying a nickel
more for accommodation, food, or en-
tertainment than Englishmen pay.

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-Low-priced
railroad stocks were the most active
IN the short session of the stock
market today, and new high record
prices were made by a number of
them in the first half hour. These
included st. Paul common at 81 n
st. Louis Southwestern at Sj'
Southern railway at 26%, and Pere
Marquette at 36. Railroad stocks,
In fact, monopolized the attention
of the traders and dealings in New
York Central. Atchison, Rock Island
New Haven, Northern PacIIlc aha
Pennsylvania were on compare
lively large scale.
Further progress in reaching q
satisfactory adjustment OF the coal
strike situation together with the
general understanding that the rail-
road crisis has been definitely
passed, was accepted as substan-
tial basis for another forward move
ment in stock prices. Prominent
brokerage concerns report that there
is no public selling of stock at this
time, most people holding their Sc
curities IN the confident expectation
OF higher prices later in the year.
~e Trading Dull.
Outside of the trading in railroad
shares there was little of interest
An today's session. A good many
of the regulars among the specu-
lative favorites did not appear In
the trading list. while, stocks like
u. s. Steel and Studebaker appeared
infrequently.
The Mexican oil stocks were active
in the first half hour, but were seen
very little after that. Prices were
higher at the start, but later recedeJ
TO yesterdays closing level.
Heavy selling of MRllinson, at
tributed to professional shorts, drove
that stock down from SS% to 36'
from which it recovered in part to

cession near the close and Tobacco
Products "A" sold al 79h, and
American Tobacco at 150H, up one
point. United States Steel sold up
TO 1O1h on announcement that the
Carnegie and American Sheet and
Tin plants will operate as usual next
week
Domestic rails and industrials were
fairly active in the listed bond mar.
ket today, and prices were for the
most part inclined upward. The
fourth Liberty AVS were the most
active Of the Government war bonds,
selling Np to 1923. while the Vic.
