Little Black Book Found on

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Oct. GA little
blac covered memorandum book. "e.
ferred to by the police as THE
Harem OF 100," is expected to furnish
the motive for the mysterious muir
der here of Guy ~. Denier, country
club official and former Chicagoan.
When the scantily clad body Of
Denier was found slowly drifting
down an irrigation canal on the out
skirts OF Phoenix several weeks ago
the police at first thought II a case
OF suicide.
A post.mOrtem examination dis
closed that Denier had not drowned,
but had been choked to death.
Subtle Whispering Starts.
Hardly was the news Of the dea h
made public when subtle whisperings
began to filter in to authorities that
Denier had paid the price OF his as
SociationH with some of the most
prominent women Of the city.
Denier was for several years the
head OF O department In large
Chicago mail order establishment.
He came to Arizona for his health
A year prior Denier had married
a Chicago girl, but his wife was
granted divorce on the ground Il
inCompatibility a year after the cou.
pies arrival in Phoenix. No story
of matrimonial strife was ever
made known TO his relatives here.
The names Of nine society women
of Los Angeles are said TO ne in
Denier's diary.
The nine women were fcrrcted
from a long list OF Denier's sweet
hearts" and their revelations Of
Deniers bizarre life are expected
Inomentarily to lead to the arrest
OF prominent Arizona business
man as the stranger.
Frequent rumOrs associated Den.
ier with the wives OF many promi.
nent men. During the few months
prior to the discovery OF his float
ing body he expected death. To
a friend he stated:
"1f I return TO Phoenix TO see
a certain woman will be killed. 4"
And he was killed.
Instead of being killed during Il
moment of insane rage by man
who surprised him in a compromis.
ing situation. Denier was lured to
his death and slain with the cunning
purpose OF making ii appear as
though he died by drowning, II is
said
In spite OF the careful staging Of
the crime. the murderer forgot that

canal after being murdered would
not fiji with water.
Slain in Plot, Belief.

charge OF the investigation, declares
the killing was prCmeditatsd.
In reCOnstruCting other details of

sneory that the strikes. though gen.

industrial shares climbed percep-
tloly higher, as many individual stocks

labor reports naturally restrained

Surveys indicating improved earnings
TOR the first half of 1922, particularly
IN such basic trades as steel and au-
tomobiles, and the lowering of the dis
count rates four successive times by
the Bank of England and to q slightly
lesser extent by the Federal Reserve
banks are indices that the conditions
which the rise in the stock market
since last August anticipated have
come 30 pass. There is ample reason
in the banking and commercial news to
justify the major impulse toward re-
covery In the security markets. Wheth-
er individual shares are worth their

perslstently giving an affirmative
answer to these questions.
The failure of Allan A. Ryan ought
TO point a lesson to bankers. More
than $27,000,000 in secured bank loans,
in addition to more than S5,0G0O0O of

The public is still waiting to know
how large losses, if any, the banks will

After Genoa and, following that
failure, the breaking up OF the bankers
committee deliberations at Paris be-

France, the financial community has
come to place careful restraint upon
any optimistic expectations of a settle

months, and even the most confirmed
SPECTATOR, once he is badly burnt, Is
wary for time. The expressions of
bankers and the response of the for
eign exchanges, therefore, to last
weeks happenings abroad were mod
crate in temper and extent. There was
no attempt to conceal the fact, how
ever, that the discussions between
Great Britain and France, aimed at an
| agreement that would involve on the
part of Great Britain remission of the
trench debt and assurances in sup
port of French security, and on the
part OF France acquiescence in q re-
duction of the toal reparation obliga-
ton imposed on Germany from 132,-
Ooo,oo0,ooo to 100000, 900 gold marks
were received as the most important
step yet taken toward a settlement.
Particular admiration was voiced for
the boldness of the British readiness to
forgive the French debt independent of
what the American position might be.
The dispatches from abroad also
brought word of German acceptance of
Allied supervision Of Germany's
finances and Of the sounding out of
the members of the bankers committee
as to the bearing Of the proposed
tranco-British accord on the German
loan project. Meantime, more British
Treasury gold is coming here to pay
the interest on the debt to the Amer
lean Treasury, which has been officially
recognized as q solemn obligation, and
a beginning has been made at Washing
ton upon the debt discussions with the
French. Washington is moving slowly
but there are also indications of prog
ress In the matter of adjusting with
Germany the disposition of property
seized during the war. On the whole
the news and the action of the foreign
exchanges were of more gratifying
character than for some weeks past.
The call loan market last week dem
onstrated its worthlessness as an IN
dex of money and credit conditions by
fluctuations in direct contrast to the
general trend of rates. The charge
upon occasion went as high as per
cent, and A or Az per cent was the
basis Of much of the business trans
acted. In other departments, definite
easement appeared, most noteworthy
being the reduction Of the rate on
especially prime commercial paper to
9A per cent, a new low for the year.
Time funds were available up to
ninety days at as low as 3% per cent,
and the rates for other maturities
were revised downward about in pro-
portion. The shorter-term acceptances
momentarily declined below 8 per cent,
but were subsequently restored to that
level. The lowering of rates, aside
from its conformity to current tenden-
cies, was probably accumulated by the
coal and railroad strikes. If these
continue for long, bankers expect that
industrial and trade needs will subside
even below their present low level and
that money will become a drug on the
market
