F - riend CLOSES EASIER Bank Statement Shows Cash Reserve Is Considerably Below Legal Requirements [MANY RUMORS CURRENT peculative Activity Para- Iyzed by High Rate of In- terest on Money on Call OI\'E\V YORK, April 7—Today's bank | statement showed the cash reserve of the | clearing-house banks to be $2,560,625 below | the legal requirement. Thé showing was | not a surprise in view of the course of money market this week and of the reports of the known movements ot which made thelr appearance yes- The cash loss disclosed by the | bank statement’ of $7,904,200 was about | equal to the minimum estimates of yes- | terday. The considerable loan expansion 0 sioned some surprise. the stock market of the week has n no evidence of important liquida- tion, it was believed a large transfer was going on of credits from the local banks to interior and foreign lenders. The stock | market yielded ground, but slowly, after the publication of the bank statement and | from the vantage point of some earler advices. The closing tone was easier, with pport here and there. last occasion on which the banks d a deficit in the surplus reserves 9. It was in the week following that speculative activity became | most pronounced on the Stock Exchange, | the aggregate sales of the week rising to more than 9,000,000 shares, with advances of from five to nine points in such stocks | @8 Union Pacific, Great Northern pre- ferred, St. Paul and New York Central, spite of the continued strength in the money market, which culminated in the last week in December in the 125 per cent | money rate. The speculative contingent in the market today were inclined to make much of the analogy. MANY RUMORS CURRENT. There were many rumors current in the ock market of gold engagements for X 8 to be executed next week, follow- 1g arrivals in London. Not much coun- ance was given in banking circles to | ition of large gold shipments to arrive in London, or of the likelihood securing large amounts for New York. n exchange here was firm all day, hough the Saturday market is nominal, ie quoted rates were considerably hose of ¥ day. Both Paris and are looked upon as competitors for | any gold supply in the London market. | German and Prussian loans to the amount | of $140,000,000 are imminent. Estimates of | theon Russlan loan vary all the | way from $200,000,600 to $400,000,000.

In the pro- gressive subsidence of activity during the following days the higher level of prices was yielded only slowly and irregularly, and the speculative commitments which had induced the rise were maintained with a show of stubborn pertinacity. The stringency in money has gained |in severity from day to day, instead of gradually relaxing, and has thereby disappointed the calculations of the party which embarked in the specula- tion last week. Interest and discus- sion this week have centered on the money question almost to the exclusion of other subjects. The immediate cause of the stringency is clearly traceable | to the heavy demands upon the cash reserves of the banks. Large remit- nces have been called for from in- terior points and from the large bank- ing centers on the Eastern seaboard and transfers have been made both by the medium of the Sub-Treasury and ‘by express. Telegraphic transfers to | San Francisco were recognized as a | means of remittance to Japan of funds of that Government on deposit in New York. Customs collections have been large and have made the Sub-Treasury re- quirements on the New York banks onerous. The immediate cash outgo from the banks has been large enough from these causes to deplete the meager margin of the surplus reserves and to exhaust the supply of loanable funds. | But deeper-seated causes are sought for of available funds and the cipal of these has come to be gen- erally recognized in the heavy demands for new capital outlay in the last three months. The enormous new issues of bonds and stocks in that time have been the subject of constant ohserva- tion and discussion. An effect was early produced on the bond market which became torpid and slow from re- pletion. One effect of this was an abrupt drop in the par value of new | securities offered during March to $96,- | 300,000, compared with a volume ot | $277,500,000 during February. Another | effect was the appearance in the mar- ket of issues of short-term notes by | railroad companies at the high prevail- | ing market rate of interest and secured | by the newly authorized bonds as col- lateral. The situation in the coal trade has also had its influence. | Bonds have been dull and heavy in tone.

PEAPREl‘g,AkaH 7.—Many crimes have been detected through the barking of a watch- dog, but that the fallure of one of these faithful eanine guardians to ralse an flarm should furnish the clew by which tire perpetrator of a murder was discov- ered is rather unusual. That, however, is only one of the elements which lends unusual interest to the crime of the Rue Baint Maur, which all Paris is discussing. It contains all the material for one of those thrilling stories in which Emile Gaboriau delighted. Henri Bedor, the proprietor of a large bookbinding factory, frequently worked Jate in his office over his:accounts. He was doing that on the fateful night which proved to be his last on earth. At 9 o'clock, a mald servant, Germaine Pa- rioe, brought in, as usual, the big boar- hound, Diane, which was kenneled at night in M. Bedor’'s office to guard the safe. This dog and its mate, Tom, which guarded the factory at night, were of great size and ferocity. None of the em- ployes in the factory dared touch tnem. The only persons wuo could come near them without arousing their anger, as the police subsequently. ascertained, were M. Bedor himself, his wife, nis brother Frederic, the girl Germaine, August Ma- thieu, his chauffeur, and his coachman, Dubols. LEARN OF THE MURDER. The maid servant left M. Bedor short- 1y after 9 o'clock. At a quarter past ten Germaine heard a door slam. She roused Dubois, and they made an investigauon. They found M, Bedor lying dead at the foot of the staircase leading from his of- fice. H2 had been staobed in the back and again in the chest, apparently by a rapler or stiletto. The fingers of his right hand had endeavored to wrest the weapon from the assassin. When the police arrived on the scene the great boarhound in the room above, which had given no tongue while his master was being done to death, began to bark furiously. When they entered the room with Dubois, his intervention alone prevented the animal from attack- ing them. '%hey found the safe locked and the key in the dead man's pocket. On the table was the lamp which M. Bedor had used while examining his books. The glass shade had been broken. Fragments of the glass, found at the foot of the stairs, where M. Bedor had met his death, showed plainly it was there it had been broken, ' The murderer evidently had sub- sequently replaced it on the table in the office room. To do that he had to pass in front of the boarhound’'s kennel. Yet the dog had made no sound. Obviously M. Bedor had been murdered by some one who was on x%od terms with the dog. That was the clew—the only clew—which the detectives had to work on. M. Bedor alone knew what money he had in the safe, and they could not tell whether any had been actually stolen. Of those whom the dog’s silence brought under suspicion, the chauffeur alone was unable to give a satisfactory account of his movements on the night of the mur- der. He was arrested. At first he stout- 1y protested his mnocence, but ultimateiy he broke down and made a complete con- fession. That brought the element of love into the crime, which is essential to- ail thrilling detective stories, LOVE PROMPTS DEED. Mathieu was engaged to be married. To win the consent of the girl’s parents he had misrepresented his financial posi- ltion. He had declared that he was in receipt of a salary twice as large as he was actually paid, and had besides a snug little sum in the bank. As a mat- ter of fact he has not saved anything. His prospective fa.ser-in-law had com- plained of the delay in the marriage, and had told him that if it did nat take place soon he would break off the match. Thus pressed, the chauffeur agreed to marry his flancee in a fortmight. In the mean- time he had to secwre a uat, paying a quarter's rent in advance, and furnish it. In a few days the girl was to meet him at a dealer’'s and inspect the fur- niture, which he had not even pur- chaged. He decided to make a coup. Relying on the fact that the boarhound, Tom, which guarded the factory at night, would net betray his presence, he con- cealed himself in the building until after the work people had left. Then he forced open a drawer in which mouney was keot to meet petty cash expenses, but found only fifty francs. That was not enough for his purpose, so he hid himself again and waited. He watched his master as he went to his office after his dinner, and while M. Bedor was writ- ing, he slipped into his apartments, and took his swordstick which he had placed in an umbrella stand. When M. Hedor, his work over, was returning from the office, the chauffeur, who was crouching in a recess on the landing, fancied that he had detected him. “That,”” he says in his confehsion, COMFORTER—A seasonable special; full width and length; silkoline cover; white filling.

But I felt so sure that he had e seen me that, gripping the swordstick, I | 4YHE BACHELOR'S BRIDE™ CHARMI dashed forward and tried to pass him in LY PRESENTED my flight.” STRUGGLE BY THE STAIRS. But M. Bedor barred the way at the foot of the stairs. A struggle ensued, and the lamp which his master was carrying, fell to the ground. M. Bedor clutched at the swordstick, the chauffeur plunged it into mis body, and kneeling on his chest after he had fallen, he again drove the weapon through him. Bedor expired without a cry. Taking the key of the safe from his dead master’'s pocket, the chauffeur groped his way to the office, relit the lamp at the stove, unlocked the safe and ah- stracted $150 in bank notes and a handful of gold. The big boarhound, Diane, rec- ognizing a friend, merely wagged his tall while this was going on. Little did Ma- thieu then imagine that the dog’s silence, which made the theft such easy work, would bring him under suspicion. After locking the safe again he replaced the key in M. Bedor's pocket and made his way in the directfon of the courtyard. But the slamming of a door had given the alarm. Hearing footsteps approach- ing, Mathieu hid himself under some steps over which Dubois and the maid passed, and let himself out of the building by a door in which they had left the keys. In this way he got clear away. But for the sllent testimony of the boarhound, it is “The Bachelor’'s Bride,” produced in the California Clubhouse last night in the sweet cause of charit was an amazing success, the cast pre- sented by Paul Gerson Lulu Feldheim, Mrs. James Al .
