Government Puts Half Bill
lion on Sale.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE govern
ment's new bond issue-the first since
the war-has been over-subscribed,
Secretary Mellon announced Wednesday
night. The total subscriptions, it is
understood aggregated something near

Preliminary reports received from
the federal reserve banks show, Mr..

the new Az per cent bonds of 1947 50
are well distributed all over the
country.
Notwithstanding the over-subscrip-
ton of the issue, the secretary an
nounced. investors who subscribe for
amounts of $10,000,000 or less, or who
desire to exchange their 4% per cent
Victory notes or December certificates

serve banks.
"It is the treasury's intention" Mr.
Mellon said, "to hold down allotments

the subscription books for this part of
the offering will close at noon on Sat
urday, October IA, 1922. Subscription

nity to invest in the new bond

Victor Murdock, vice chairman, pressed
him for the figures.
Were your operations quite ex-
tensivew the examiners asked.
II presume that would depend on a
mans point of view," Mr.. Armour
said.
Defends Speculation
Mr.. Armour defended speculation in
grain and the marketing machinery
which makes it possible because, he
said, the farmer is afforded an op-
portunity to sell his produce on any
day of the year in an open market.
The producer does not always get the
price he is entitled to, he admitted,
but on the average, he said, the farmer
benefits by the system.
His views on the speculative mar
ket were brought out by Mr.. Muir
dock, who recalled his acquaintance
with p. ID. Armour, founder OF the
Armour fortune and father of the
present head of the house. 1t was
2. ID. Armour who broke the great
Joe Letter wheat corner in 1897.
Letter had 100000 bushels of
wheat purchased and as delivery day
approached, the elder Armour was
wheat in the market. He rushed ice
breaking tugs to the straits of
Mackinac, and the 500 and kept the
channels opened while his freighters
brought down the grain from Duluth.
When the day for settlement came,
Armour not only met his own short
sales but from the seemingly bottom
less pits of his grain elevators poured
another 100000 bushels into the
market and broke the corner.
Recalls p. D. Armour Coup
Thirty years ago." Mr.. Murdock
recalled to the younger Armour, II
was newspaper reporter here in
Chicago and it was part of my duty to
call on your father every week /
got to know him as a newspaper man
will know man of his magnitude. He
had marvellous knowledge of the
grain and produce markets. Since
those days you have taken his place
and are interested in the development
of this great Middle Western basin.
Do you believe, from your own obser-
vation, that the speculative plan of
the future market gives the producer
q square deal?'
Mr.. Armour weighed the question
for moment and then said:
On the average, / think it has, be-
cause the farmer has place to sell
his wheat every day in the year. lie
may not always get the price he is
entitled to, but I think it has stabil-
lied conditions. Without the specu-
iatiye futures market, no trader
would buy wheat until he had it sold.
and you know that sometimes you have
to carry wheat long time before you
can sell it,
George E. Marcy, head of the Ar
mour Grain company, testified that
most of the transactions by his or
ganization are hedged, through the
purchase or sales of future TO safe
guard a cash transaction, but that
there are some purely speculative
dealings.

Keep heHOn1eF Fires Burning "
Says Red Cross Leader in Talk
Urging Local Relief Programs
Listeners Cheer Mrs. August Belmont Sugges-
ton; Taft Presides Over Meeting; General
Pershing Is Speaker.

Cross would do there, she admonished
the convention delegates to keep the
home fires burning"
Development of public health nurs-
ing is the most important part of the
Red Cross peace time program, she
said.
Chief Justice Taft, in opening We'd
nesday nights session, declared the
difficulty in the Red Cross now was in
steering it." There was danger, he
said, of spreading too wide its efforts
and of going into fields where it does
not belong"
James II. Beck, solicitor general of
the United States and legal adviser of
the Red Cross, declared there never
was more need of the spirit of the
Red Cross, because of the seeming
heartlessness" of the world at pres
ent, and because the worlds altruistic
feeling has been deadened by the re-
cent succession of great calamities.
A poll of public opinion, he said,
undoubtedly would show there had
been more interest taken in the recent
defeat of great fistic champion than
in the sufferings of the hundreds of
thousands of Smyrna victims.
General John J. Pershing, appear
ing Unexpectedly at tonight's meeting,
spoke briefly upon the great value of
the Red Cross work during the war,
and said that whenever there was
something to be done that others could
not do, the Red Cross was always
called upon and did it.

VISIT Of GERMANS
TORRANCE DELAYED
Time Not Yet Ripe for Love
Feast; Feeling Still
Runs High.

Berlin, Oct. 11.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. THE proposed visit of
German industrialists to the devastat-
ed regios of France, where they were
to have been the guests of the lead
ers of French finance and industry,
has been indefinitely postponed, ac-
cording to information received here
from Paris.
While official invitation had been
received in Berlin, it was understood
the tour would begin next Saturday
when the Germans were to be met at
theh French frontier by Marquis de
Luboisac and others. No reason is
given why the program is not to be
carried out, but the view taken in
some quarters here is that the at
mosphere in France is not yet suffi-
ciently clear for the proposed love
feast.
1t is even hinted that the French
premier, NJ. Poincare, is more than
piqued over the recent utterances Of
DR.. Wirth, the German chancellor,
concerning the question of war guilt.
Industrial leaders decline to say
this probably is the reason why the
trip is not being carried out as
planned. They declare the visit has
not been abandoned, only postponed.

SLEUTHS FIND
NEW CLUES IN
DUAL MURDER?
ather Of lncorrigible
Girl Watched; Public
Fund for Hayes.

New Brunswick, n. j., Oct 11.-(By
The Associated Press)-Officials hand
ling the Hall-Mills murder mystery
drew close veil of secrecy about
themselves Wednesday, evading the
army of newspaper men who camped
on their trail.
Through the inevitable "leaks" how
ever, came reports that most of the
days activities tended to draw more
sharply into the spotlight Nicholas
BANNER, saloon keeper, who was jailed
Tuesday night on a statutory charge
preferred by his daughter, Pearl, Is,
also in Jail on a charge of incorrigi-
bility.
Banners record was checked and re-
checked and his story of his where
abouts on the night of the Staying of
the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and his
choir leader, Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt
Mills, gone over closely. Attempts
also were made to question him furth-
er, but Jail attendants reported he
was so badly shattered of nerve as a
result of deprivation of alcoholic slim
ulants that he was unable to talk CO.
herently.
Threatened to Use Knife.
Banners daughter had told the
authorities, in one of her many state
ments, that Bahmer had threatened
TO cut both her own throat and that
of Raymond Schneider, her sweet
heart, on the night that the minister
and chorister were slain, and the lat
ter's throat was slashed. Bahfner de-
MED this, but admitted he was looking
for Schneider that night with a pistol
He said, however, that he was at home
and in bed when the murders were COM
mitted. His pistol, he added, was of
40 caliber, while that with which the
slayings were committed was 80.
While the authorities were checking
up new leads and rechecking the
story told by Schneider, on which 49,
yearold Clifford Hayes has been ar
rested for the murder, citizens of New
Brunswick forged ahead with plans
for a tag day Saturday to raise a
Hayes justice fund" They openly
express belief that Hayes was
framed"
Timothy n. Pfeiffer, counsel for
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, the slain
clergyman's widow, was much in evil
dence about the court house Wednes-
day. He sought interviews with sew
eral detectives who were working on
the case, but declined to make any
statement to newspaper men.
Knife Found in Lane.
A knife, which the police said they
considered one of the most important
clues recently brought to light in the
double killing, was turned over to the
authorities by Mrs. Thomas Lyons,
resident of New Brunswick.
The police said it was a kitchen knife
with a sharp blade, bearing what ap-
peared to be blood stains. Mrs. Ly-
ons said it was found by her 9-year-
old son in one of the lanes leading from
the Phillips farm the day after the dis
covery of the bodies.
Mrs. Lyons said that fear of being
drawn into the case had prompted her
to hide the knife and make no men
ton of it to the authorities.

TURKISH DEBT
To BRITAIN IS
BAR To PEACE
England May Seek to
Collect 100 Million
Pounds.

London, Oct. 11.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. .)-One of the questions
on which it is expected there will be
important differences between the
Turks and British is the cost of the
British occupation of Constantinople
and other areas in Asia Minor in
1918. The British have kept ac-
counts of the expenditures, which are
regarded as an ultimate charge against
Turkey 1t is believed the bill will
run into hundred million pounds
sterling. without regard TO what claims
might be advanced by France, which
maintained 10000 troops in these re-
gions for a year and a half.
The Kemalists long have contended
that the charges were unjust claim
ing it was possible TO give them peace
three years ago.
When the first conference assem-
bles. this financial question will be
introduced in connection with the OF
toman public debt in which France
is large sharer Thus far, the argu
ments of the Kemalists have been
that Turkey has paid her war debts
by thirds of her territories and
therefore should not be asked to pay
more. Likewise, the Kemalists have
consistently refused to print their
stability of the Turkish pound.
The total outstanding Turkish pa
per is 250,000,000 Turkish pounds.
At the present exchange, one dollar
is worth approximately one and two
thirds Turkish pounds. Three years
ago Turkey had approximately 50.-
O00. 900 gold hounds.

Imitation Chaplin
Picture Never Will
Tickle an Audience

Los Angeles, Oct. IA tempo
rary injunction restraining the
Western Film Productions COM
pany, a motion picture concern,
from exhibiting film which
starred Charles Adamor under the
name of Charles Aplin, was grant
ed to Charlie Chaplin, motion pic
ture comedian, in the superior
court here Wednesday.
In the film, Adamor or Aplin,
wore a costume much the same as
that commonly associated with
Chaplins motion pictures, and it
was because of this that the lat
ter asked the court for a perma-
nent restraining order. He de-
clared it was of the utmost impor-
tance to him that he have the ex-
elusive right to baggy trousers,
oversize shoes, tight fitting coat,
small derby and bamboo cane.
Counsel for the defendant as
serted the costume was ''old stuff
that Chaplin had borrowed it from
various actors down through the
last half century" and therefore
Amador or Aplin had as much right
as Chaplin to it.
The court saw the film and then
issued temporary restraining
order.

time. The present dividend is on the
basis of 20 per cent annually.

Germany to Check
Decline of Mark

Berlin. Oct. 11.-(By The Asseci-
ated Press THE cabinet met We'd
nesday and discussed measures to pre-
vent a further fall in the value of
the mark 1t was unanimously de-
cided to recommend to President
Ebert that he issue an ordinance limit
ing speculation in foreign currencies.
The question of issuing treasury bills
of fixed value and further measures
designed to sustain the value of the
mark also were considered. The dis
cussion will continue throughout the
next few days.
The report that the government is
actively contemplating stern measures
to curb wild speculation has caused at
least temporary fear on the part of
the bourse operators, and marked
falling off on the demand for foreign
exchange resulted Wednesday in a
drop of more than 800 points in the
dollar rate as compared with Tues
days closing quotations. On Tuesday
the dollar was quoted at 29G6.2S alta
closing. Wednesday it opened at 2T75
and closed at 259615.

TAX BOARD FINISHES
LONG J0B;POLIT|Cs
BECKONS PERSONNEL
Dixon and Rankin Ready for
Speaking Trips Over
Treasure State.
(Trihune's Helena Bureau.)

Helena, Oct. 11.--After a number of
sessions held during the recent two
weeks, most of them behind closed
doors, the state board of equalization
has finally completed its work in con-
nection with the assessment and equal
ization of 1922 taxes and such of it's
members as are so disposed are free
to devote their official time to political
purposes.
One of the last acts of the board was
to make change in the assessment
of the Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company which consisted of
transferring from local assessment to
the inter-cOunties assessment of the
solvent credits of the company and
which act made necessary the re
ALLEGATION to the various counties am
school districts of the assessment
against that company. The work
allocating this company's assessmen
had already been twice figured by the
assistants of the board but this action
made necessary that it again be fig
ured, task of three days. before the
amounts can be certified to the sew
eral counties for spreading on the tax
books.
Work Long Delayed
The work of the board, which the
statutes contemplate should be finished
in August, has been interfered with to
a very great extent by the political
activities of some of it's members, who
were deeply interested in the primary
election campaign, and these same
members are now about to enter
actively into the general election cam
paign.
In support of his fight for the con-
troll of the next legislature Governor
Joseph NJ. Dixon, the presiding mem
Der of the board of equalization, has
again started on speaking tour which
will carry him through several of the
eastern counties of the state. During
the latter part of the present week
he will address meetings at Baker,
Ekalaka, Wibaux and Glendive, return
ing to Helena next Sunday night.
The governor will devote the follow
ing week to northern and western
Montana, appearing first at Big Sandy
and Fort Benton on October II, and
then speaking at other towns in the
following order: Sweet Grass, Shelby,
Noxon, Thompson Falls, Missoula and
Roman.

who was actively engaged in political
