Inquiry at a number of the leading
banks of the city develops the fact that
there is at present a greater demand for
loans than has been noted FOR some
time. and il is a happy coincidence that
the rate Of interest is descending in tho
scale. In other words, the per cent
rate which has been ruling for many
Inonths is giving way TO 5, and, in the
case of very large sums, to AZ and per
cent. This concatenation OF circum-
stances furnishes a most happy omen
for the real estate and building trades,
for it is not unlikely that the high rate
of interest of the past year contributed
not a little TO the curtailmeut of build
ing operations IN the District. With a
lower interest rate here comes a greater
demand for money. and this money
which the local banks are prepared to
furnish in unlimited amounts on proper
security viii for the most part be en-
ployed in the purchase of realty or the
construction of buildings.
This view of the situation is taken
both by financiers and those in the real
estate business. Men who have given
close study TO the conditions chat have
obtained here I'm the past year and who
have kept account of every change in
them. are agreed that Washington Will

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Organized base

of the local National league club, who
returned to his office after his mission
airy trip to the coast to bring the out

Disputes over players are all that
can prevent the present temporary
truce from becoming permanent" said
he. "The press dispatches from San

spects, and 1 think there will be no
trouble whatever over the classification
of the leagues. The relative standing
of the Pacific Coast league and the
Class A leagues Of the minor associa-

atives of the two bodies to settle for
themselves, and when the truth is
known it will be found that the coast
people will be entirely reasonable in
their demands.

coast people are to keep the players
they have already secured and the
Eastern teams are to do likewise, but

But for one Office was there a con-

Milwaukee Manager Denies That South

south to the effect that the Southern
league clubs had Cancelled their dates with
the Milwaukee American association team
because of Joe Cantillon's alleged support
or Billy Phyle in the latter's CONTROVERSY

a vigorous denial from Cantilion last
night.
Il had arranged dates at New Orleans.
Memphis, Greenville. Vicksburg and other
Southern cities" said Cantillon, but lat
er, when I received a good offer from
Peoria, decided to give up the Southern
trip for financial reasons. I wrote to the
Southern clubs canceling the games more
than two weeks ago, and have since re-
ce1Ved letters from both New Orleans and
Memphis in which the club owners there
state that they regret that found it adj
Vlsable to give up the trip.
Il never championed Phyle's case. and
DO not pretend to know anything about

the Southern clubs had refused me games
for such reason is entirely without
foundation and has evidently been start
ed by someone who has a grudge to set

CORBETT HAS COIN
Champion Fakes Up Mortgage
on Fathers Ranch.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 9.-Jimrny Roth
well, alias the Loving Kid, younger
brother to William H. Rothwell, other
wise Young Corbett, champion feather
weight of the world, is in Denver. Jim
my, as his friends affectionateIy term
him, arrived hone from San Francisco.
and he is as full of coast fight news and
gossip as an egg is of meat.
Most important, however, is the fact
that Jimmy Rothwell is advance agent
for the new domestic drama in which
his distinguished brother is starring at
present, entitled Lifting the Mort
gage or Giving the Old Folks a Home"
Surprising as it may seem to many
Denverites, Young Corbett is not broke.
but has bank roll of over $4,000 to
his credit. He has sent his brother
Jimmy here to pay up a number Of
small debts and to take up the mort
gage on the ranch he bought for his
father and sisters some time ago.
After wasting his substance for years
and blowing in his coin against the
ponies, tickle fortune has lately smiled
on the Denver champion and within
two weeks he has gone down the line
at Oakland and Ingleside, making the
block artists rub and quitting over
$4,000 to the good This is in part
verified by Police Sergeant Herb South
ard, who has just returned from San
Francisco and who saw Young Corbett
win $4,000 in one day.
Several weeks ago Young Corbett
purchased a ranch near Denver for his
folks and made the first payment. Then
he began bucking the ring and sue
ceeded in picking more losers in one
day than all the easy marks at Oakland
put together. He was down and out
financially and was forced to borrow
$500 from Harry Corbett, the San Fran
cisco bookmaker. iA
At this time things looked bad for the
old folks at home, but, just as in plays
and story books, the hero triumphed
when the dawn seemed furthest off.
The Kid struck a winning streak and
there was nothing to it, Everybody
who knows him knows he will always
put down a bet and with good luck on
his side the Denver boy made the
Frisco plungers look like pair of
deuces on the dial of a nickel-in-the-
slot machine.
