Although Peter *Volo was the best of the bunch, his records were forced by Lee Axworthy, who trotted a great rate throughout. : Only second in importance was the race for the $10,000 Paper Mills purse for 2.11 trotters, won by Lassie Mc- Gregor, who took the second, third aad fourth heats. Sienna won the first heat. This was Pop Geers' day, and.the veteran driver delighted the crowd by driving home the winner in two events. He captured the Horseman and Spisit of the Times futurity for two year old trotters with Sparkie Watts and drove Napoleon Direct to victory in the $2,000 American Hotel stake for 2.15 pacers. The fifth and sixth heats of the un- finished 2.08 trot resulted in a victory for Omar.

Barber- ick was toughed for 14 hits, five of which were two baggers. In the sev- enth, with two out and two men on, Barberick deliberately walked Fohl to get Smith, but the local center felder hit the ball to the fence for two bases, clearing the bags. Score: RHE N.

New York, Aug. 12.—Sam Langford of Boston, outfought Battling Jim Joknson of Philadelphia in seven Tounds of a ten round bout here to- night. Battling _— Willing to Pay Yet in Jail. There’'s a man working out a fine and costs which will keep him in the Litchfield jail for about a month be- cause he failed to pay his personal tax bill to the Torrington collector. .In court he offered the judge the amount of the tax and promised to pay the Test as soon as he got a job, but the court had not choice other than to send the man to jail. The personal tax law is one of the few laws which Connecticut has that permits no one to escape, once he is arrested.—Water- bury. Republican. That’s funny. Is it not possible that the delinquent. offered the money to the wrong person. The judge of a court is not authorized to collect the personal tax apd the Torrington gen- tleman had no business to_ offer him the amount of the bill. There have been any number of cases brought in- to court for non-payment. of the per- sonal tax in various places and In practically- all of the instances ‘the amount was paid in the court room and the criminal part of the proceed- ings ceased. Just why that was done in Torrington is dificult to say. It is Sallee and Snyder; Demaree, Fromme and Meyers. Disallowed Protest. New York, Aug. 12.—The Pitts- burgh club’s protest of the game won by New York in Pittsburgh July 7 was today disallowed by President Tener. In disposing of the protest the pres:- dent of the National league held that Umpire Byron was acting within his rights and in accordance with the play- ing rules of the game in determining whether or not interference had occur- red. The umpire’s decision, therefore, having been based solely on his accu- racy of judgment, there could be no resval of same, and the game stands as played. Cobb Signed Three Year Contract. Tyrus R.

Radical Steps Proposed by New York Bankers—Suspension of Reserve Re- quirements. New York, Aug. 12.—For the settle- ment of the country's international obligations radical steps were proposed today by New York bankers.. One suz- gestion,” which was laid immediatsly before the federal reserve board, was suspension of the provisions of the law regarding reserve requirements for na- tional banks. An alternative plan was enactment of legislation by congress permitting banks to count natioaal notes in their reserves. In either case the result would be to lessen the amount of gold the banks must hold and enable them to ship gold from the country. Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City bank, telephoned to Washington to Charles S. Hamlin, governor of the federal reserve board, presenting the suggestion that the re- serve requirements be suspended, 1f the board thought it feasible, and ask- ed it were possible to take such ac- tion at- the present -time, before the machinery created under the new law had been put into operation. Mr. Hamlin said, according to Mr. Vander- lip; that the matter would be brought before the board. . TLese matters were brought up at a meeting of special committee of the New York chamber of commerce at- tended by Mr. Vanderlip, J. P. Morgan, Jacob H. Schiff, E. H. Outerbridge and Seth Low and others. When news of the plans discussed by this committee reached the financial world fear was expressed that the result of any such action would be to start once more the drain on the country’s gold supply, which was a leading cause of the re- cent unsettlement of the country’s finances. Teh proponents of the plan, however, feit there was no danger of such. a result. One interpretation placed upon the .proposal to_include bank notes in legal reserves was that it would mean the suspension of specie payment, Mr. Vanderlip characterized this as entirely untrue. At the meeting today it was sald that about $2,000,000 was immediately due European creditors. Members of the committee expressed the opinion that, whereas it has been recently im- possibie to settle foreign obligations in gold, owing to the interruption of transatlantic sailings and other condi- tione brought on by the war, gold pay- ments weré not possible, at least to English creditors. by reason of the ar- rangement whereby Bank of England gold is to be.held in trust by the Canadian minister of finance at Ottai- wa, thus obviating shipments across the Atlantic. There was no further reason, it was held, why obligatione not covered by the moratorium in ‘England should not be met. Some of the bankers took the position that to refuse to make these payments in gold would be a reflection on the country’'s integrity and would damage its credit abroad. Mr. Vanderlip was asked to draw an amendment to the bank act, to be sub- mitted to congress, enabling the banks to_count bank notes as part of their Teserves. After this proposal had been made it was suggested that such action might be ‘unnecessary, since the federal ~e- serve -act gives the board power to suspend the reserve requirements for 30 ‘days, and longer if deemed advisa- ble. It was then decided to lay the whole matter before the board and Mr. Vanderlip was designated to act for the committee.. Mr. Vanderlip said that if bank notes should be used as part of the reserves it was probable that only a small percentage of the reserves —say 10 per cent—would be thrs e opinion was d in the financial district mm;;flre-g that any steps looking toward the exportation of con- siderable sums of gold would meet with strong opposition here. Bankers who favored the action said, however, that should the plan be adopted there would be, in their opinion, no heavy exporta- tion gold, since accumulating Eng- lish credits would be utilized for pay- ment of American grain and other ex- ports Other developments of the day indi- :fii steady improvement in financial The New Haven public has had about enough - palavering over this stable matter. A neglected stable is a menace to health. Those respon sible for it can be punished.. A m- ble is a stable, however, and uo nosegay.

The diversity of uses to which auto trucks are put is an indication of the value of the motor truck to the economics of any community. In New Haven auto commercial cars are in the service of a great firearms maker, a hospital, a florist, two oil companies, a wholesale drug house, two coal dealers, several general truckmen and long distance movers, a specialty maufacturer, two under- takers, an ice dealer, a brick manu- facturer, a wholesale meat house, a paint and, paper dealer, two laundries, a department store, the police depart- ment and a paper box manufacturer, where they are all making good sav- ing money for their owners and for their owners' customers. Apparently there is no limit to the uses to which a reliable motor delivery can be put in doing the work of horses better and cheaper. The motor truck is also a direct economizer of man's time, as any man driving a good car can do the work of two or three men driving horse-drawn _deliveries, thus leaving them available for more directly pro- ducing activites. “It is said that automobile touring is less popular than formerly. Phys- ical and nervous strain from long rides, tire trouble and heavy expense are given as the reasons. This is a pity, for the pleasantest and most healthful way to travel is in the opén " says Glenn A. Tisdale, a New York ‘dealer. “Long, distance travelling by auto- mobile to be successful must be ac- complished without fatigue and with- out unreasonable cost or annoying tire trouble. This is entirely feasible, as trips 200 or even 350 miles a day without . taxing . the. strength of driv- er or passengers are often made to- day. “The car to own is an easy riding car of medium size, whether used for long distance travelling, short trips or city work. The expense is less and / the pleasure is greater.

Gogarn, general distributor of a tire concern. Rubber used In horse shoe pads and rubber soled shoes may be something else again, but tires have to be made of rubber. There is, of course, great differ~ ences in rubber. The wild tough “Up River Para” is the best rubber. It comes from the Amazon country - of Brazil and is gathered by natives, whq alone can stand the wild life and beat. Since these natives have little or na use for money and have been surfeit< ed with knives and beads to delight their eye, gathering Up River Para rubber grows more and more difficalt, To meet this situation great plan« tations of rubber trees are being cule tivated in Ceylon, and in Mexico and while clean and easily harvested this rubber is not 50 tough and wear re- sisting a sthe wild rubber:of Brasil which continues to sell in the marketa of the world at higher prices.
