TEN MILLICNS A DAY
That Is Interest on British Bonds Held
In United States.
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

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.’ :
