SAN FRANCISCO PEOPLE LE D JAPS BIG AMOUNT Applications for $1,412.500 Worth of Bonds Arve Received in Period of Four Days. President Hellman of the vada Bank announced yesterday that the to- ta' subscription for Japanese bonds in San Francisco amounted to $1,412,500. Applications for more than $30,000,000 .rth of the securities were presented nd England was an unquali- fied success. In London, the necessary amount ten times subscribed in one day. this country, applications were re- ceived for four days. The bonds pay 7 per cent and are practically the same collateral. It is the second loan scéured by the Japanese since the be- ginning of the war, but if the conflict centinues for another six months, cal financiers expect this country's capitalists will have another oppor- tunity to invest their money in Japan- ese securities. e G MAN AND WOMAN FOUND LYING DEAD IN of Murder Suicide. DETROIT, Nov. 18.—At Wyandotte, near here, to-day two policemen dis- covered a horse and buggy standing on the street with H. J. Hillebrand and Mrs. W. J. Miller of Detroit lying dead in the buggy. Both were shot through the head, evidently a case of murder and suicide. §Vhether Hille- brand or the woman fired the shots is unknown. . A letter found in Hillebrand's pocket and written by the woman re- cently told of an intimacy between the two and warned Hillebrand that he must be careful of her husband, who, she said, had threatened to shoot him. The woman's husband says he believes her refusal to elope with Hillebrand caused the latter to shoot hber and commit suicide.
