Virgirs statements. According to

WASHINGTON p. c., May 13.-A
great scandal is developing from the
sittings OF the Salvador arbitration
commission. which concluded its work
Saturday in first-rate rumpus, during
which Sir Henry Strong, chief justice
of Canada. threatened To smash DR..
Pacos Salvador in the face
The trouble reached the acute stage
nearly a week ago. when Sir Henry
became Ill from an attack OF rheumatic
gout. with which he is apt to be
affiictedfrom time to time.
1t was discovered that during his
Illness somebody was administering
Kentucky whisky to Sir Henry instead
OF the Canadian article to which he
was accustomed, and In too large doses
to be carried with ease.
As a result, he was not, for con-
siderable length of time, able to per-
form his duties upon the commission,
nor was he In a fit physical condition
to sign the decision of the court, which
had TO be signed by Saturday night, IL

blood.
Last evening Sir Henry left Wash
ngton for his Canadian home, and
when he left this city he was accom-
panied by two secret service men, who
were under orders to see him safely
upon Canadian soil before leaving
him. In diplomatic circles 1t is un-
derstood that Salvador will now refuse

PUTTING Out False Reports
OF Bond Issues

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 13.-~The
Treasury Department is becoming Sc
rioasly concerned about the money
market In New York. more so because
the treasury itself is not able to go to
the assistance of the New York banks.
The situation. now Is that, with the
coal strike on. with call money rates
abnormaily high. with the west de-
manding cash for spring crop opera
tons. with Europe likely to draw upon
New York for gold, the New York
banks ars steadily losing reserves.
Today's statement of the association
Of banks OF New York show that dur
ing the week ending Saturday they lost
more than 81. 900, their lawful re-
serves being little more than SIS. .000, 900
cash. This condition of things hap
pned several times during the last
lew years. and II has always been rem
edled By the treasury either purchasing
government bonds or making deposits
In The banks.
LAST night the report was circulated
throughout the west that Secretary
shaw had decided to buy SIS ,000. 900 OF
government bonds, In order to relieve
the present situation. Mr. Shaw de-
MES this. and denounces the men who
put the report into circulation. one OF
whom Is supposed to be John w.
Gates the steel niagnate. whose occu-
patton now is to conduct a rising stock
market in New York.
Treasury officials do not think there
arc signs of an immediate panic, but
they do not view the situation with
entire calm. -

immense herds on their hands and
without adequate means OF keeping

A leasing measure is conceded to be

Monday. with the intention OF taking
up the new leasing bill By Representa-
