WM ¢ LENT LITTLE AID Gapt. Hurley and State’s Attorney Alcorn Speak for Malinowski According to Robert T. Hurley, cap- , tain of the state police, who yesterday testified in superior court before Judge Joseph P. Tuttle on behalf of *he claim of Matthew R. Malinowski, .~ for a share in the rewards offered for * had been submitted by the arrest and conviction of the mur- derers of Rev. Joseph Zebris and his housekeeper, Miss Eva Gilmaniatis, last February, the police department of the city of Wilmington, Delaware, t little ald to the local authorities their efforts to seture convicting evidence against Peter Krakas and Bernard Montvid. In fact, Captain Hurley’s testimony went to show that the Wilmington authorities were averse to assisting the Connecticut men and rather resented the latter’'s gforts to secure confessions from the /men under arrest therc. Captain Hurley testified tbat before the ar- rests of Krakas and Montvid in Wil- mington, hé was on their trail and held warrants for their arrest, Mal- Inowski having been of material us- pistance to him in ferreting out the necessary evidence, which pointed to « Krakas and Montvid as the men ilty of the murder. @ After all the evidence in the case the appli- eants for the rewards, Judge Tuttle ruled that Stanley Yasik, the Wil- mington undertaker; Robert FH. Washington of Philadelphia, a former Wilmington police officer, who claimed to have captured Montvid, and Charles Gray and Walter Weir, 0 also made similar claims, would ¥ eliminated from participation in the rewards, as he did not consider from the evidence submitted they ware entitled to anything. ' Btate’s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn made a statement to Judge Tuttle ves- terday afternoon which may have an Imiportant bearing in the distribution of the money. It referred to the work ©f Mr. Malinowski and to the informa- furnished by Mr. and Mrs. tto BY¥fether of 330 Arch street, this city svith whom Krakas and Montvid ' Boarded when the murders were com- mitted. Counsel for the remaining elaimants will be permitted to furnish briefs in support of the claims of their gllents within the next week. Yasik’s Claim. « ‘j,VVhen the hearing was resumed yes- irday afternoon, John T. McKinley. \la pmitiitchman at the Union National benk 1“(: Wilmington, was called by Judge lett, rep: nting the clajm of -tin- ley“Yasik, ~the otieh ndertarer. Yasik had read of the New Britain murders in a Lithuanian newspaper and concluded that the men arr>sed 1{WVilmington might know some‘»ing about them. He communicated his suspicions to Mr. McKinley, who ad- vised him tg see the police, which he | dia. The Briether Claim. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Briether, cl=im- ants for the rewards, were called Ly Judge Klett. Briether testified that Krakas and Montvid came to board at hi§ house on Arch street, January 20. They claimed to be detectives. ‘Wken the murders were committed, Br. ‘h- er heatd about them in the shop nn3 went home to tell the ‘‘detectives” | about the crimes. The next day court at that time for failure to Montvid left for Springfield. Brieth- [ ér was summoned to appear in police cle: his sidewalk, He testified that A& Aid shovel the walk and was aided by detectives, but no significance “vas attached to the statement then. Later he went to City Hall to tell about ithe detectives, but could find no one to talk to, ard twice afterwards he .went to police headquarters to tell his story. Mrs. Briether gave testimonwv sizdlar to her husband. She said she _told the whole story to Interp -eter Malinowski. " JAfter Captain Hurley had testified for Malinowski, Judge Tuttle acreed to permit State’s Attorney Alcorn to make a statement in Mr. Malinowski’s Pbehalf relating to the work the latter did after Montvid was brought hack to this state. Mr. Alcorn made a stybng statement. He considered his ork invaluable. He was a tireless worker and put his own life in danger by the vigor of his investigations as ‘both Krakas and Montvid learned he | was trailing them and had sworn to - #get” him. The state’s attorney ad- ' mitted that the information of the _Briether's was likewise valuable. MRS. STURGIS TO WED MR.

Dunne Official® Guest at Event Held in Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 9.—With Dunne of Illinois as the official guest, twenty-five automobiles were ready today to start on the 1,600 mile tour over the Dixie Highway, a through route from Chicago to Miami, Fla, Governor Dunne will ride with M. M. Allison of Chattanooga, Tenn., leaving the tourists at Danville, Il The other motor cars will contain di- rectors of the Highway Association from southern states. The start southward was to be made after the dedicatory exercises Governor Exchange have decided to connect the Exchange for the comng season with the Tea Room.

By this arrangement, it is c¢xpected that the Exchange will gain a lurger fleld of usefulness, while losing none of its loyal friends, whose interest and sub- stantial support, the directors wish to acknowledge.

Boston, Oct. 9.—The harbor were carefully manned today for a il- nal desperate effort to prevent the capture of the port by the enemy fleet in the war game which has been in progrss for two days. The de- fenders were somewhat handicapped during the night by the fact that sev- eral of their searchlishts had been theooretically put out of action. On the other hand the invaders were still subject to much danger from mine fields which the umpires reported had not been destroyed or removed. Although the forts suf- fered more than the attacking fleet in yesterday’s encounters, Lieut. Col. Haan, in command of the defenses, were confident that when the maneu- vers ended at noon it would be found that the coast artillerymen had won the victory. forts Money Is Abundant and Cheap at Current Rates (Special to the Herald.) New York, Oct..9, 1915.—Placing of the allies' loan of $500,000,000 in New York must be regarded as the greatest transaction and the greatest success in financial history. For the time being it gives New York unqual- ified primacy in the world’'s money market; and, though London will un- doubtedly regain its leadership after the war, the importance of New York as a financial center has been per- manently advanced to a close second; the strength and position of European financial centers having meantime been correspondingly diminished. Henceforth London and New York will be’the controiling factors in the world’s money markets. Should they ever choose to work together, as in the present instance, they will prove irresistible. More likely, however, they will prove keen though friendly rivals in the coming struggle for the world’s markets; for without support of the bankers, our merchants and manufacturers cannot secure the cov- eted trade, after which the United States as well as the United Kingdom is going in search with all its power and capabilities. The most important immediate ef- fect of the loan was a very positive relief in the sterling exchange situa- tion, which had reached a stage that was rapidly making international trading impossible. Now that ex- change is nearer normal conditions, the currents of foreign trade should run with more smoothness. The sea- son is opening when the flood-tide of exports begins. Shipments of grain, cotton and other natural products will continue to run on a heavy scale for several months to come. Europe needs our big surplus. Indecd we must sell, for if our farmers do mnot find a good market for this surplus, the result here would be disaster and discontent. This loan is, therefore, quite as much a benefit to ourselves as to the allies. Our exports are also being stimulated as every one knows by heavy shipments of war ma- terials; so that in view of continued small imports the outlook is for a continued huge excess of exports run- ning at the rate of about $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 per month. Some experts already calculate that if the war continues, the surplus when tae fiscal year ends will have reached anywhere from $1,300,000,000 to $1.- 500,000,000. Continued small imports due to Europe's limited ability to sell, are a problem that time alone will solve. Our customs revenue is being sharply reduced, and the treasury de- ficit is growing, with increasing ex- pendiutres for “preparedness’ ahead. Some ‘new form of taxation will beé inevitable. Very little additional can be raised from the tariff, for the rea- son tanat an advance in duties would still further restrict imports, and tend to diminish rather than increase cus- toms revenue.

Small duties on tea and coffee would bring considerable revenue and would also be but slightly feit by the con- sumer, if at all. Very considerable revenue could be derived from stamp taxes, one of the most efficient and least objectionable forms of taxation. Present war stamp taxes will possibly be retained. War Discounted. The war has been largely, if not en- tirely, discounted. We are now dis- counting the approach of peace. Ow- ing to the inumerous cross currents in trade, it is almost impossible to predict what the ultimaté effect of the war will be upon this country. The world at large cannot benefit from wholesale destruction. Never- theless, the United States unhampered by the derangements and interruptions falling upon other nations, will be free to continue the natural develop- ment of its resources and to aid re- construction abroad, which will inev- itably make large demands upon American man- ufacturers. Undoubtedly the early future of this country promises a period of prosperity resulting from renewed internal development, as well as from a larger share in the world's trade- As an offset, however, we must take into consideration that Europe's buying power will be tem- porarily impaired, that the cost of productions in Europe will be placed at the lowest limit and that we shall not secure these foreign markets without a struggle in which we may be temporarily handicapped by ihfla- tion and high prices in the United States resulting from present abnor- mal conditions and the great expan- sion of credit. All indications point to increased domestic activity dur- ing the approaching autumn and win- ter months, | Our harvest as 2 whole Is the larg- est and best on record. This means continued prosperity on a large scale in the agricultural districts. The wheat crop is estimated at 1,002,029,- 000 bushels, or 111,000,000 bushels Corn ix figured at 3,626,000,000 bushels, or only 98,000,000 bushels below the record. Oats are expected to reach 1,517,000,000 bushels, or 891,000,000 above last year. These three crops show an increase of about 20 per cent. the average of the last four years upon an expansion for the vear of about 6 per cent. in dcreage. Prices are lower, but the farmers are sure of satisfactory results, and the masses will secure cheaper food; while the railroads must benefit unusually in the carrying of crops and in tie stim- | ulus to general business they afford. This big harvest is the best thing that has happened to the railroads in 2 long period, and may be of more val- us to them than the small conces- sions granted by the Interstate Com- merce Commission. The activity of the steel trade, the largest industry in the country, and the prospects of its continuance for months to come, already matters of common knowledge. The railroad situation continues to improve, traffic is grow- Decreases in earnings are be- coming less and less conspicuous. Tm- poriant economies have been put into effect and a number of roads are al- ready feeling the benefit of advanced Although some companies are showing the adverse effects of conditions, quite a number of yperities such as Atihison, and New Yory Central very encouraging pro- rates still past standard pre nia are making press Situation speculative Improved.

McManus, FINANCIAL NEWS RAILWAYS MAKE GAINZ ON MARKET South Porto Rico Sugar Adds Ten Points to Yesterday’s Rise New York, Oct. . 9.—The command- ing position taken yesterday by rail- ways was increased today, activity in those issues overshadowing recent speculation in war stocks and sim- ilar specialties. Some of the latter were under pressure, though is no im- portast Instances were recessions more than trivial. All branches of the railway list responded to the bet- ter inquiry, 1 to 4 point advances em- bracing transcontinentals, grangers, trunk lines, coalers and the southern group. Reading, yesterday's strong- est feature, held back at first, presum- ably on profit taking, but forged ahead later, as did United States Steel, which equalled its high price of re- cent years at 81 3-4. The closing was strong. Bonds were strong. Rallways again took first place at the outset of today's stock market, with gains of a point or better for the Harrimans, Baltimore and Ohlo, Atchison, Pennsylvania and New Ha- ven. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific opened with “spreads” of 1,200 shares each, but other initial transac- tions were on a moderate scale. Among the specialties Bethlehem Steel rose five to 445 and Baldwin Loco- motive one and one-half to 116 1.2, American Steel Foundries, Colorado Fuel, Crucible Steel and American Coal Products advanced one to three, but some of these issues soon reacted.

A bear party of considerable importance has been in operation, and any decided shrinkage in this de- partment would probably be quickly followed by new buying on both long and short account. Attentions is now being attracted to railroads and the better class of industrials which thus far have not advanced in keeping with the rest of the market. The speculative spirit seems to have been | thoroughly aroused, and in view of an improving and more hopeful out- 100k, nothing more than a temporary setback is expected and a fresh for- ward movement m be anticipated as =oon as the present selling force | has been exhausted.
