Legislation To
Reduce Rates
Seems Likely
Both Public And Private Debt
To Be Affected.
TWO METHODS SUGGESTED
Voluntary Agreement Among
Creditors and Relief By Law
Are Proposed.

President Roosevelt's call for a
general lowering of interest rates
on the $25,0o0,0 900, 900 of public
and private debts in this country
was expected to result in a concert
ed move to that end both in and
out of the government.
Bills before the senate-which
have house approval already-would
enable corporations and municipali-
ties or other political subdivisions of
states to scale down the principal
and interest of their debts through
an agreement with the majority
of their creditors.
Legislation is already in effect
which enables the individual to re-
arrange his debt and interest rates
through a pact with the majority
of those he owes and to give SINH
lar help to railroads. There have
been complaints that these laws
have not been particularly effec-
tive and thar they mad strength
Two methods have been suggest
ed. One was on a voluntary basis
and the other through legislation
which would enable the debtor to
get relief after a majority of the
creditors-from IS to 70 per cent
perhaps-agreed that some way to
ease the strain was necessary. This
is in line with bills passed and pend
ing.
Among the debts mentioned
were those owed by foreign ma
tions, but it was not made cleal
whether he had war debts in mind
He has promised some communi.
cation to congress on the subject.
An indirect result of Mr.. Roose-
velt's attitude probably will be !:

Slattery.
At the Chateau Blissac all was dark
and silent. The hour was nearly /.
Soup Slattery had found Mr.. Carlisle's s
rough chart of the house and was
now consulting 1t with the aid of
an electric torch outside the window
which the other had left open for
him.
The chart was clear. He switched
of the torch and climbed silently in.
To those who, like the Victomte de
blender at the Hotel des Etrangers,
had seen Soup Slattery only in his
moments of conviviality, 1t would have
been a revelation to behold the stern
purposefulness of his face as he
mounted the stairs. He was about
to confront a trade rival and toward
trade rivals his attitude had ever
been one of dourness and austerity.
This particular one he intended to
cause to jump out of the window in
his slumberwear and not stop running
till he reached Paris.
The door of Packy's room was
locked, but locked doors meant MOTH

slight, woke Packy. He was not

recognizing sleepily that here was
something hostile, he sprang from
the bed and alighting on the heel
OF an upturned shoe spoiled any i'm
pressiveness the demonstration might
have had by hopping vigorously.
"Stick 'em up!" said Mr. Slattery.
The implied suggestion that he was
covering Packy with a gun was not
based on truth. He never carried
gun on these expeditions, holding
very sensibly that If you had one
you might use it and that If you
used it all sorts of unpleasantness
might ensue. What he was pointing
