IDLE MONEY
Leads to Proposals for Reduced In
terest Rates

NEW YORK, Oct. 23-The Herald
says: A movement is on foot among the
large banks of the city, included in
Group No. of the State Bankers Asso-
citation, to reduce the rate of interest
paid ON deposits from out-of- town banks
from to ~ per cent. Such action. was
taken not long ago by the banks of Chi
cago. 1t has been commended that such
action might be construed as an attempt
to restrict or corStrol trade, and thus be
In violation of the statutes.
To make the movement effective, all
the banks of the city would have to
agree to uniform rate. Otherwise, the
deposits of out-of-town banks, which
run up to tens of millions of dollars,
would naturally gravitate to the institu-
tions paying the highest rates.
The large amount of idle capital in the
country is said to be responsible for the
project Money which cannot be en-
pioyed to advantage in. other cities is be-
ing sent in abundance to New York,
where there is at present difficulty in
employing the accumulation profitably.
When there was a plethora of money
mont hs ago, the local banks made tao
It agre emept to make no loans at less
than, per cent. One of the institutions
reduced its rate of interest on. out-of-
town deposits to 11s per cent, but in
creased it to 2 per cent when an active
demand for money set in.

UNDER THE RULING OF MAYOR
HARRISON

Crowd-Real Fighting Stopped
by the Police

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-The first boxing
contests under the new ruling of Mayor
Harrison, that limited. round contests

evening was a seven-round contest be-
tween Kid Mccoy and)Con Riley, cham
pion heavyweight of Ohio. The rounds
were only two minutes each, without a
referee, and no attempt at fighting was
made by either man.
| A four-round bout between Harry
Forbes of Cincinnati and Joe Sturch of
Chicago was next, and a decision by
Referee Siler giving Forbes the decis-
ion was received with mingled cheers
and Kisses.
What was to have been an eight-round
go between George Kerwin of Chicago
and A. Schultze of Milwaukee was
awarded to Kerwin at the end of the
fourth round, the police interfering.
Following the Mccoy Riley exhibition
came six rounds between Frank Gar
rard of Chicago and Young Griffo. Siler
acting as referee. This was strictly on
it's merits, both men fighting viciously.
Garrard had the better of the last two
rounds, but Siler declared it a draw,
decision which took well with the crowd.
