financial Ne1us Stocks Bonds Commodities and Con,nen
Foreign Loans 13 Billions
And Still Are Growing
BY A. r. TOwNER

Recent foreign developments,
particularly the German financial
crisis, has caused quite scare in
the ranks of American investors.
1t is difficult to estimate how
much loss has been suffered by
those courageous participants in
foreign securities floated in this
country.
While foreign bonds Of the
highest grade have maintained
relatively high prices, even during
the recent deflation. the bonds
below the highest grade have
fallen off in prices very rapidly,
particularly since the middle Of
1880. There is also a difference
in movement between the issues
from the various countries and
between government and corporate
issues.
Now Exceed 13 Billions
According to available figures,
foreign loans probably exceed
$4,000, 100000 The geographi.

The European indebtedness OF
Sc 900, 100000 is spread over Is
different countries. Sixty-nine
per cent of this amount went to
France, Germany, Great Britain,
and Italy. Loans obtained by
France and Great Britain, chiefly
governmental, were due princi-
pally to war and early postwar
needs, while those for Germany
and Italy have been most ire
ouent since 1924, due TO pressing
corporate requirements.
Germany Recent Leader
Germany has been the heaviest
borrower in recent years, obtain
ing more American money in the
last six years than France has in
the last IS. Most of the loans
obtained by the smaller countries
were for the purpose OF aiding
them to return to the gold
standard, and for currency sta
bilization.
Canada's offerings, mostly of a
corporate nature, exceed any
single European country, totaling
twice as much as Great Britain,
three times as much as France,
and two and one.half times as
much as Germany. Before the
war; Canada : used to finance
through London, but, recently,
has been a consistent borrower
in the United States.
The largest borrowers in Latin
America, in order named, are Ar

'" "JACK" HUNTED
IN ODD DEATH
Of DOCTOR
Fit of Rage at Being Tied
I Up in Apartment Seen as
! Possible Cause of Fatality

NEW YORK, Sept. l GNSJ.-
Police today sought tall youth
known only as Jack" for ques.
tioning in the death of Dr.. Will
lamp Frederick Hurst, 80, ply.
sician, formerly of Syracuse.
Dr. Hurst was found dead in
his apartment Monday, his hands
tied behind his back with towel.
according to police he had
been drinking since Saturday
night with Jack, Evilito Brito. an
illustrator, and Brito's friend,
George Milligan.
Investigators said that DIR.
Hurst, intoxicated, had insisted
on leaving his apartment half
dressed and that JACK, on leav.
anE him early Sunday, had tied
Alis bands to prevent him going
into the street again.
Killed BY HemOrrhage
DR.. Thomas A. Gonzales, deputy
chief medical examiner, said DR..
Hurst died from a brain hemor-
rhage, which might have been
brought on by a fall, a blow,
acute alcoholism, or violent rage.
Said DR.. Gonzales:
II can state positively that,
If he was hit, the man who hit
him did not intend to kill him.
Fear or rage sufficient to have
ruptured the blood vessels at
the base of the brain may have
resulted, when he awoke intOxi-
Gated and found his hands
tied"
Police said they expected Jack
no turn up today and relate the
circumstances in which he had
left DR.. Hurst. Brito and Milli-
gan knew nothing of Jack.

Help Call in Bottle

The distress message found in
bottle in Chesapeake Bay near
Fairhaven, Md, telling of the
plight of a father and two chill.
dren on an island in Long Island
Sound, was probably a childish
prank, according to Coast Guard
officials.
1t is highly improbable that a
message thrown into the waters
near Long Island would be car.

The bottle would have been car

ALUMNI MONSTERS
 TAKE FAST BASKETBALL
 CAME FROM CITY TEAM

A year or two have rolled by since graduation days, yet the Seward High School Alumni basketball squad glittered as in those happy school days when, in the first local cage game of the season, last night, they won from the City five by the decisive score of 35 to 20.
 Assisted by the excellent pass ing and guarding of his team mates, as we'll as by his own delft playing and accurate field throws, Ace" Raymond Manthey shot II baskets for a total of 22 points. "Ironhorse" Guy Manthey and "Speedball" Donald Shellhorn each contributed six points, and Otto Sandbeck, clever guard, donated one foul-line heave. Jack RoSness, at center, supported his teammates in great shape.
 For the City, Flash" Dave Tur- ner led his teammates with seven field goals for a total of 14 points; Edwin Manthey, Larry Bucey and Smith were each credited with a field shot or total of six. Smith and Skinner alternated during the last half
 But for the uncanny throwing of Ray Manthey, the teams were even- ly matched; with more practice, the City squad are going to be a tough bunch to defeat.
 Francis Groth, who bears the reputation of being one of the best referees in the Territory, handled the entire game alone and in his usual efficient way.
 Scores were kept by Edwin Sand beck, star high school forward.
 Aside from counter attractions elsewhere, a fair and representa- tive attendance was on hand to witness the opening of the cage season which promises to develop faster and more interesting games than the past two seasons; some thing the fans will appreciate.

CREW HAS NARROW
 ESCAPE FROM VESSEL

The particulars of the wreck of the SS Pilgrim, which was totally destroyed by fire on the 18th day of November, 1881, are as follows:
 The boat was tied up during the night before at the dock of the Pajoman cannery at Iron Creek. Carl w. Pajoman and Clifford Buchanan started out to beach, comb foC firewood. The engine functioned properly at the start but they had proceeded but about 200 yards when it stopped.
 Buchanan, who is an engineer, went down into the engine room to start the engine again when 1t back fired and coincident herewith the entire room was enveloped in flames.
 Buchanan leaped to the deck; they pushed off their little dory, sprang into it and had proceeded not more than 100 feet when the gas tank exploded, blowing out the entire port side of the ship which sank quickly and now remains in about 12 feet of water.
 It was narrow escape for the boys. The boat was of 12-ton ca pacity and is insured for $3,500 in the Fire Association of Philadel- phia.

 This program has many adherents, both in Congress and among the masses, and is considered with an open mind by the administration
 Yet, we find the question of an adequate Navy, re- 0ui1ng in the general program the expenditure of ap proxmately billion dollars threatening to become one of the issues of the 1882 elections, with Presi dent Hoover arrayed the side of drastic retrenchent naval expenditures and relying upon possible dSaTma- ment justification

 It remains to be if Mr. Hoover is capable of com batting this power and the situation presents the aspect of house divided against itself with possible friction in the Cabinet.
 Leading the pacfsts in the House are such ntelec- tual pigmies as La Guarda of New York; who would u ze Naval funds for building merchant vessels But Mr. La Guard does not explain how those vessels would be defended in the event of attack by foreign nation Ne ther do the proponents of public building construction propound logical argument to how these structures could materially assist the first line of national defense if the Navy is allowed claimed to drop below the standard commensurate with demands for national defense.
 In view of the test of national opinion in Europe and such expediences as the Kellogg pact and results thus far from disarmament conferences 1t would appear about time for the idea sink in that pacific panaceas f

 E. Kent Hubbard, president of the Connecticut Manufacturers as sociation, presided at the meeting and introduced Congressman .Goss.

 In explaining his stand at this time against a proposed change in the tariff on copper, Con- gressman Goss called attention to the fact that his mind can be changed if proper evidence to war rant such a change is presented. He took the stand that while he favors tariff generally he does so only with the belief that such legislation will be of benefit 70 the people of the United States. As long as there is a large exportable surplus of copper in the country. to-day, he argued, it would not benefit industries as whole to set up a tariff on this commodity.
