GERMAN DIRECTOR

DISAPPEARS,

NEW TURN IN INSURANCE SCANDAL,

Berlin, Aug. 20.

The Frankfurt insurance scan-

dal; la fram hour to hour grow- ing as fresh details of the irregu larity and size of the monetary transactions are reported and con- firmed.

A touch of drama has now been added to a situation which has

provoked a whole crowd of creditors to exasperation. Herr Sauerbrey, 4 director of the Sudwestdeutsche Bank AG a branch concern of the Frankfurt- er Allgemeine Insurance Com pany, which has been forced to close down, has completely dis- appeared. Herr Sauerbrey in alleged to have led an extremely luxurious life.

Apart from the closing down of the Sudwestdeutsche Bank AG., the Frankfurt, Industrial Credit Company and the Bavarian Traffic Credit Company of Munich have both stopped payment. This unpalatable news is accompanied by other reports which bring the. Frankfurter directors of the Allgemeine more and more under criticism,

"Their firm is the second largest insurance company in Germany, having had an income of nearly 190,000,000 marks (£9,500,000) from premiums last year; it is urged that they must have con- ducted its affairs with the greatest carelessness and that a number of them gained considerable per- sonal benefit at a time when they knew that the business was in difficulties. A dividend of 12% per cent, for instance, was an- nounced in June when the firm's obligations had already mounted to many millions of marks,

Guarantee by Ten Banks.

The concern'a. liabilities are estimated at £8,000,000. *. Frank- furter Allgemeine shares have. fallen to one-eleventh of their prica quated a few days ago. That they have a price at all is due to the guarantee offer of the Allianz Company, Germany's greatest insurance company, and great banks.

Although it was reported. yea- terday that the Allianz guarantee offer had been accepted, this is denied to-day, and it is declared, that, apart from an offer from a Swiss concern, an English group has entered fito negotiations with the Frankfurter Allgemeine. The ten banks above-mentioned have decided to form. a guarantee consortium, which will stop any consequences of the

grave

collapse.

Owing to this news; the Berlin Bourse has recovered from yes terday's depression.

US. TARIFF CHANGES.

SOME RELIEF FOR BRITISH GOODS PROPOSED.

Washington; Ang 20.

A detalled study of the list of tariff changes proposed by. Senate. Republican members shows that on, the whole Betain gains from the alterations which have been made in the House of Representatives! rates. The duty on limes, against which Dominica protested, is now one cent instead of two.

The ad valorem rates on glue, against which British manufactur ers protested, remains the same. but the set rate is down from 8 to 7 cents a pound. Considerable changes have been made in the House wool rates, against which the West Riding sent a protest, and on the whole, the balance of changes is in British favour.

The House ad valorem rates on artificial allk garments is reduced to 5 per cent; on cotton goods, on the other hand, increases are gen- eral.

Cornwall will be interested to learn that the rates on china clay nre down from 21⁄2 dollars to 1 dollars a ton, and Redditch that the duty on fish hooks is reduced..

The increases on British gar- ments and leather goods are not large enough to harm British sales, which are essentially quality sales, appealing mainly to the richer classes, whose main object is not to secure an article at competitive: prices but an article bearing the Bocial cachet given by its British origin. It should also be remem bered that any revision of manu- factured rates in the Sonate: is likely to be in a downward direc tion.
