MORE MONEY IN SIGHT
Secretary Shaw Says More Ma.
tionaI Bank Notes Would
Relieve Stringency.

Washington, Aug 2S.-In view Of the
rHnlors as TO Secretary ShaWs plans
for relieving the money market in the
event of a possible stringency, the sec
rotary, who is in New York today, au-
thorized Assistant Secretary Allies to
make the following statement:
THE secretary recently invited some
of the larger national banks in the
principal cities to order additional
amounts of circulating notes to be
printed. National banks are entitled
to issue circulation TO the full amount
of their capital. The aggregate cap
ital of national banks is 500. 000. 900.
but the banks have outstanding only
1855, coo, 600 of circula ton. The secre-
tary has hoped TO Introduce an ele-
ment of elasticity into the present sys-
tenn His suggestions to the various
banks in the larger cities that they
make PREPARATION for additional circu-
lation have met with very favorable
response. 1t is not his intention that
they should issue this additional circu-
lation at once. but only in case of act
ual necessity and emergency With
this end in view those banks which
have made arrangements to deposit
United States bonds as security for
such additional circulation have sent
in their orders, and the secretary has
had all branches of the treasury serv-
ice busily engaged in expediting the
preparation of the notes pending a pos
sible emergency"

FOREIGN PRESS

Extensive Comment in the Lon.

STATUS OF MONROE DOCTRINE
POSITION OF THE PRESIDENT ON
TRUST PROBLEM.

r ONDON, Aug. 2S.-President Roose-
velt's declarations on trusts and
the Monroe doctrine are both sub
jects of extensive comment in the Lon
don press This morning Discussion
of the former matter centers less upon
the instrinsic merits of the trust ques-
ton than upon the outcome of the
presidential struggle with the party
leaders. All the newspapers express
admiration Of President Rooseyelt's
courage and bo,dness. but hesitate to
predict the result.
The Daily News says: MANY
chances are on Mr.. Roosevelt's side ST.
George goes out TO meet the dragon,
and the wishes OF the whole world will
be with him in his fight"
The Daily Telegraph expresses the
opinion that the trust question will
prove to be the most epoch making is
sue in American politics since Bryan's
SChism on Silver. and says there is alb
s1lutely no disCernible limit to the vista
of political coNvulsions vicissitudes
and divisions which may be the out
come thereof
The Morning Post and the Daily
Chronicle both admit that Great Brit
ain has no cause to caviI at what they
characterize as President Roosevelt s
modified Interpretation of Monroeism,' -
which, plainly stated. they declare to
be sanctification of the status quo on
the Anne rican continent, and which the
Post says means that British possess
sions in the Americas are to be secured
by what is practically a United States
guarantee.
The Chronicle thinks the matter
wears a different aspect to the CONT
mental powers, who see in South Amer
lea the last and most tempting field
for colonization and for new markets.
| This paper doubts, however, whether
any power will risk the tremendous
chances of war with the United States,
be the prize ever so seductive. ''One
thing seems clear says the Chroni-
Gle, IF MonroeIsm is ever seriously
challenged, it will be soon. The United
States appears to realize this and is

trine."

form than it has been presented to the

When IL does happen there are general
ly one or two assists. A triple play Is
rarity even when half the team may
assist But never before since baseball
graduated from the old game of round
ers has a triple play unaSS1sted been
recorded.
Paul Hines. who played with the
Providence nine Of the National
league, was credited with having made
IN unassisted triple play on May s,
1873, in a game between Boston and
Providence, played in the latter city.
1t was not until the fall of 1855 that the
public was informed that such feat
had been accomplished Then an aru-
Gle in a magazine stated that Hines
had made triple play. But it was
contradicted when the real facts of the
play came out. Charles J. Sweasy,

idence team during the game, made a
statement showing conclusively that
Hines had not made the play unassist-
