Reginald McKenna, chancellor of the exchequer, replying in the British house of commons to criticisms of the high rate of interest payable on th new treasury bonds and the objection raised that this would lead to their being largely held abroad, said: “That is the very thing we desire. It must be remembered that we had to pay a very considerable amount day py day in the United States. At pres- ent we have to find £2,000,000 a day for every working day. That means a prodigious amount to find every six for the purpose of | gays.” | Building the Johnstown & Somerseu Mr. McKenna prefaced nis state- of interest upon treasury bonds. “It is not possible,” he said, “to ar standards and to say cent is enough.” Treasurer to C.

SLALY BY EDITOR Assassin Is Uitra-Radical So- . cialisi; blames Politics SLAYER FIGHTS CAPTURE Dr. Adler, “Liebknecht of Austria,” Arrested For Murder, Says Refusal to Convene Parliament Caused Act in Vienna of Count Karl Stuergkh, which has caused conster The assassination nation in the dual monarchy, was pure- ly political, and was induced by his refusal to convene parliament, accord- ing to the admission of Dr. Frederich Adler, his assassin, shortly after his arrest. Dr. Alder is an eccentric and super- radical Socialist, sometimes known as “the Liebknecht of Austria.” He is editor of Der Kampf. At first he de- clined to reveal his motive, but after being locked up he broke down and declared the premier’s political poli- cies had led him to do the deed. Dr. Adler arrest was not accom- plished without the wounding of two men, who leaped at him after he had fired on Count Stuergkh. He dis- charged the two remaining chambers of his revolver at these men before Austrian and German officers, with drawn sabers, overpowered him, The wounded men, who were; in- jured slightly, are Baron Aehrenthal, brother of the late foreign minister, and the head waiter of the hotel, Meissel und Schadn, in which the shooting occurred. With Count Stuergkh at luncheon were Baron Aehrenthal, Count Teggenburg, goV- ernor of the Tyrol; Herr Jacobson, a prominent Vienna musician, and an actor from the Court theater. A man unknown to the premier ar- rived at the hotel and took a seat three tables away. He ate luncheon and paid for the meal; but lingered at the table. He arose, advanced quickly toward the premier and fired three shots. The first missed. The next two struck the premier in tne head. Without a word, Count Stuergkh fell back lifeless in his chair. | Baron Aechrenthal sprang toward Adler. The head waiter ran up from behind the assailant and grasped the hand that held the revolver. Adler wrested his arm free and fired two shots. Baron Aechrenthai was wound- ed in the foot. The waiter received | only a superficial wound. Seeing that the struggle was hope- less Dr. Adler surrendered to the of- ficers who crowded upon him, and gave up his revolver. Apparently he was the calmest man in the room. He gave his name without hesitation TRIES TO PEACH PRESINGNT | 20d added: “If you please, gentlemen, I know perfectly well what I have done. 1 shall not resist arrest.” In reply to a question ag to the | regson for his act, he said at first: “That I shall have to answer in { court.” It was half an hour later that he admitted that he had been actuated by political n:otives. Physicians. and high police and state officials reached the scene of the shooting within a few minutes, but found that the premier was life- News of the assassination The assassin, who is thirty-tw. years old, is a son of Dr. Victor Ad- ler, a Reichsrat deputy and a Social | ist of mild type. | By a strange coincidence, the fath- | er was speaking before the reichsrat in 1911 when Count Stuergkh was , shot at six times by the Dalmatian . Socialist Vakusch. On that occasion the count was uninjured. BAKER DENIES STORY War Secretary Did Not Compare American Revolutionists to Mexicans. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker was siiown at Elmira, N. Y., a clip- ping quoting him as comparing the Mexicans with the American revolu- tionists. “It is too absurd to be worthy of notice,” he said, not concealing his displeasure at being misquoted. “I couldn’t think of such a thing, to say nothing of saying it. It is entirely wrong. I didn’t say anything that could possibly be interpreted. that way.’ : BREMEN GIVEN UP AS LOST Vessel Is Month Overdue and No Word Has Been Received.
