Havenstein, president of the Dr. Havenstein's successor will probably be Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, cur- rency commissioner of the reich and | managing director of the Darm- Sikin, | Staedter Bank. Dr. Havenstein became president of the Reichsbank in December, 1907, nd directed the Imperial German government's financing of the world war, which was accomplished by a lone succession of internal loans. After the armistice he represented the reich at various financial confer- |ences with the allies, including_the negotiations th the Bank of Eng- land for the guarantees demanded by Belgium. When the mark began to fall Dr. Havenstein warned against the con- | sequences of the collapse of the cug- |rency and emphasized the necessity of retaining the Reichsbank's gold reserve. His resignation was de- manded by several sections of public | opinion, but he retained his high po {sition and worked toward the ei tablishment of the new rentenmark, which was placed in circulation, on a gold basis, only a few days.ago. He was sixty-six years old. Deaths Reported. The following deaths have been reported to {he health department in the Iast twenty-four onrs: Henry Roop, 50, 1407 Morse st. n.e. wos F.
