Special Dis,.ateh to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 5.-Whiie thu
sharp advance In call money yesterday
afternoon naturally caused some uneasiness
on the part Of small holders OF stocks. sew
eral big operators who were seen this morn
ing claimed to have genuine confidence in
the future both OF the money market and
the stock market. While they did not ad.
NIT that they had definite Information on
the matter. they asserted very positively
that In their opinion the money market
would appear materially easier within
few days. They conveyed the impression
that the high rates yesterday afternoon
we're largely the result Of manipulation and
did not represent scarcity of available
funds as great as would appear from the
quoted rate. The intimation was made very
clearly that within two or three days Sec
rotary Shaw would take steps to mitigate the
money market stringency. From the con-
fdence with which these limitations were
made. it would seem that certain interests
nave definite information as to what WASH
tngton poposed to do for the monetary stu
alton. The opinion was also confidently
set forth that New York will continue to
600 or $3OOO.0OO of gold day for import for
some days to come. The idea would not
down that New York bankers have already
engaged considerably more gold In London
than they have been willing thus far to adj
NIT.
There was naturally difference of opin-
ion as to the course of the stock market
during the next week or two II the rates
for call money continue abnormally high.
Not few large interests believed that
stocks would decline only moderately in the
event Of continued high money and that the
program of last winter. when money ran
above 100 per cent, would be repeated to a
large extent. Others looked for a pref
ty sharp break in stocks. If the money
market is not materially relieved soon.

In regard to the recent strength of st.
Paul stock, it was clearly intlmated that
the management would issue additional Sc
curities at. an earlier date than had been
expected. 1t was learned that the company
is spending money on the Pacific coast ex-
tension much more rapidly than was real
lied: except by those who were Intimately
familiar with the progress that was being
made. 1t was learned from authorita-
tive sources that practically the entire
new line to the coast Is now under con-
tract. Whether additional stock or bonds
would be issued could not be learned this
morning. But 1t has been understood for
some little time that the general policy of
the directors is to issue stock as far as
possible.

gagged to be the loss of its use during

the present situation and foreign banking
houses asserted that with renewal OF

of gold might be secured for import to this
country. Cabled advices from London to-
day set forth that G4O3,OO0 had been with

peared to be some uncertainty with. regard
to this transaction. Washington dispatches

NO POWER 70 APPOINT
Controversy With the District Com
missioners Decided by the Con-
troller Of the Treasury.

Controller Tracewell Of the treasury has
settled a dispute between the District Com
missioners and the board OF children
guardians by deciding that tho board has
no authority to make appointments. and
that these are under control OF the District
Commissioners. Some time ago the board
held meeting and promoted EsteAe F'os-
ter. who had been serving as investigat-
Ing clerk. from $40 year to 800 a year.
and reduced George A. Falck, who had
been serving as placing officer. from $500
to $72O. John w. Douglass. discussing Of
ficer OF the board, submitted to the con-
troller the question whether he was justi-
fed In paying the salaries for July under
the new arrangement. The controller says:
Powers Of the Board.
THE board Of children's guardians is a
board created in and for the District OF
Columbia to be body polite and cor
porate. and to have the powers and to be
constituted in the manner hereinafter pro-
vided. The powers hereinafter provided do
not include the power to appoint or employ
ohhcers or agents to be paid out of the
funds of the District of Columbia appro-
priated for its support. 1t is a District
board and under the control Of the Dis
trict Commissioners. and It's employees are
paid In part out Of the revenues Of the Dis
tr1ct OF Columbia. The board has no gen.
eral power to appoint or employ officers or
employees provided for it, and in the alb
sence Of such power or authority the Dis
trlct Commissioners would have authority
to employ or appoint and remove. The
board is authorized to employ, subject to
the approval Of the Commissioners, not
more than two agents. No other author
lty Is given said board to make employ
ment.
TT does not have funds Of it's own OF pos
sess the general powers of a body corpo-
rate, but only such as are specifically given
In the act. These do not include the power
to employ the persons appropriated for by
Congress. AS to such persons the board
would certainly not possess any greater
power than was given to them over the en-
ployment Of the two agents In the original
act,

CORBETT WORKING ON ROAD
Starts Long Grind to Take Off
Weight by Running
Twice a Day,

Many Of those who have never seen
Young Corbet- in action took advantage
OF the opportunity to see the former
champion box at the Lyric last evening,
where he went three rounds with his
srarring partner. Patsey COrregan. 1t
was announced from the stage that Cor
bett would meet any local man weighing
from 1873 to 40 pounds tonight at the
same place in a three-rOunG boxing bout.
COrbett continued his road work yes
terday, and reeled off several miles.
From his starting in working as soon as
the articles were signed it would seem
that the chubby DenVerite is determined
TO get I'm condition for his go with Hy-
land. He will continue road work morn
ing and afternoon for the rest of the
week. and expects to start gymnasium
vCrk next week.
Hyland and McClintic went to Ogden
yesterday and will return this morning.
Hyland will not start training until next
week. but does not need the work Cor
bett does to get himself in shape.

Soft Coal Mining Fields Have

Stunning normal aspect, especially in the

were reported in operation today and
with the adjOurning of the district con-
VentiOn here today it is expected it will
be but a few days more when all the
mines in this district will be in opera

well to the independent operators who
have heretofore fought the granting of
the advance demanded by the miners, as
to those operators who have already
signed the scale.
The independent operators of this dis
trict, who on Tuesday night formed an
organization to carry on their fight
against the granting of the scale, will
hold another meeting tomorrow night
and it is expected that, in view of the in
crease of mines in operation, the indie
pendentS will decide to sign the scale
Seven of the independent companies
which refused to join the action of the
others Tuesday night signed the scale to-
day.
The district convention, which has been
in tumuItuous session for several DAYS

UTAH SHOULD INVESTIGATE
Charges of Professionalism Be-
ing Hurled Back and Forth
by Colorado COLLEGES.

Denver, April 6-Some startling reve-
lations concerning the absolute disregard
of amateur standards in the cases of a
large majority of the members of the
college baseball teams of Colorado may
confidently be expected before the close
of the present intercollegiate season on
the diamond At this early stage of the
season charges and cOunter-charges of
ringing professionalism and kindred
kinds of dishonesty are being freely
hurled from one college town to another
with abandon which will neither add
to the comparatively slight popularity of
college baseball nor serve to eradicate
fragrant cases of abuse at the respective
institutions.
The charges which the respective col
Ieges are making about each other. which
call for prompt and thorough investiga-
ton and action by the respective college
faculties, are, in brief, that the amateur
code is being violated by the playing of
men known to have played summer base
ball on independent. Semi-prOfessiOnal
and professional clubs; that ringers
have been imported especially to
strengthen the pitching department, and
that in many cases these ringers all
of whom are professionals, have not been
entered since the first of the year. 1t is
also charged that certain players are Civ
ing their services to their respective col
leges week days, while playing with in
dependent clubs of professional standing
on Sundays. The baseball situation is
said to be even more in need of investi-
CATION than college football in it's vicious
characteristics which tend toward the
professionalism of college athletics.

considerably heavier than his opponent,
but Hoke1 OutClaSSed him when il came

to break HOkel down at the beginning of

ply had Yokel on his back, but could
not hold him there The break was one
OF the cleVereSt ever seen here Shortly
before the fall which decided the contest
the Ogden boy by sheer force threw Muir

ing the boards, injuring it considerably.
After Murphy got up they went to the
mat, when the local champion got Muir
ply on his left side with his left arm
pinned beneath him. He finally twisted
leg hold, from which position he gradu-
ally forced him to the mat, ending the
contest. The agreement was that Muir

HULEN STILL AMONG MISSING

Billy Hulen, the former Salt Lake base
ball player, is still missing, and all eff
forts to trace him have proved fruitless
A dispatch from Suisun, Cal, where he
was last seen, says
over a month has elapsed since Billy
Hulen. a well known baseball player, left
Yreka for Seattle, and not a word has
been heard from him since. As the time
passes his relatives and friends are get
ting more anxious
when Hulen left his placer mining
claims in SiskiyOu county he told him
nephew, George Cripps, he had to go to
Seattle at once on business The mine IS
about twenty-five miles from Yreka, and
Hulen rode horseback to that place, where
he purchased a ticket to Seattle. Infor-
nation has been received that he did not
get off at Ashland where his wife re
sides. but went through to Seattle. He
told Cripps that he would return IN a
week and his visit was said to be for
the purpose of securing capital for a
more extensive development of his min
ing claim.
fThe fact that Hulen, since he left
home when little more than boy, com
muricated with his parents regularly and
never absented himself without apprisinS
his relatives of his Whereabouts seems 70
confirm that fear of his relatives and
friends that he has met with foul play,
