GOLD AT The SEA.

when the banks ship gold across
the Atlantic said the banker, they
prefer to ship it in bars rather than
in coin. 1t looses less that way"
1T loses less?"
yes, sir. If $1,000,000 in gold
coin is shipped across the sea, it is
only $4,000 on its arrival. 1t loses
fro twelve to fifteen ounces, about
$500, through abrasion, through
knocking about with the motion Of
the waves. The sea makes gold lose
weight, you see, the same as 1t does
human beings.
Gold bars lose less. In fine wealth
er they don't lose over $3.50, whereas
in like conditions, gold coins have
been known to lose $500.
CAS- gold shipments of $4,000, 900
often occur, to make these shipment,
in gold bars instead of gold coin is
a saving of $1,000 or more.
1T is odd to think, when you
cross in one of these gold-laden
ships, that every wave that hits the
boat clips off 10 or 10 cents from its
golden cargo"

Congressman after congressman has
shown his enthusiasm for the i'm
provement of the country's water
ways
In the past similar attempts have
failed for lack of leadership and unit
ed action. 1t has been felt in Wash
ington for years that the people want
ed cheap water transportation, but
the explanation of the lact of action
is that each congressman seemed to
expect some one else to do it, on the
ground that what is eyerybody's bu-
siness was nobody's business. A
number of public spirited men, how
ever, seeing the country's need decid-
ed some two years ago that 1t was
time to make the getting of the nee
essary appropriations their business.
These men originated the national

Washington, Nov 20.-In a COM
comparatively few years the United
States will have the finest waterway
system in the world of congress,
when it resumes it's session next
month, should vote its approval Of
the movement which, supported by
President Roosevelt and many influ-
entail Congressman, looks for an an
nuaI appropriation of $50,000,000 for
waterway improvement.
The United States has within its
boundaries, exclusive of seabOard,
more than $4,000 miles of waters
which with proper attention would
be navigable. On these she has spent
up to date $4,000 900. On the other
hand, the tiny kingdom of Holland,
with only 1000 miles of navigable
waterways, has already spent on
them more than 81, 100000, 900. France
with 4OO0miles has spent 81, 100000

Representative Burton, chairman of
the house committee on rivers ami

public statement in which he strongly
advocates such appropriations. So

sees in water transportation not only
a tremendous saving to the hipper,

Fifty Million Dollars Year to Be

AS an illustration of what would be
done if the appropriation is granted,
the case of the improvements of Bos-
ton harbor is cited, which, through
the better facilities for loading and
handling grain, has produced a saving
of several million dollars every year
for the farmers in the west. Last
year the shippers depended largely
upon President ROosevelt's support Of
the rate bill, but in this years phase
of the transportation question they
have the practically unanimous back

600, while Belgium with less than
1900 miles, has since 1875 spent in
excess of $S0,000,00O These large ex-
penditures abroad have made rates
there very low, whereby shippers in
general have benefited.
The average appropriation in this
country for each of the last ten years
for all the rivers and harbors has
been about $19,000,OO0. Germany, it
is pointed out, has spent about four
times this sum on the harbor of Ham
burg alone On the harbor at Liver
pool, England, $500, 100000 has been
spent. In fact, many a harbor in for
eign lands has been improved and
made more useful to both producer
and shipper and at a cost exceeding
the whole annual appropriation of
the United States.
The average cost of shipping one
ton of goods one mile by mail in the
United States is 7.79 cents. On the
other hand, the average ton mile cost
in the great lakes is only .92 of a
cent; on the lower Mississippi one
mill; on the Ohio river to Cincinnati
one-third of one mill, and on the Erie
Canal, as estimated for its 12-foot
depth when completed, about half 2

THAW WILL STAND
TRIAL IN MARCH

NEW YORK. December 6-The trial
of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of
Stanford White, the architect, will not
begin until March, unless District At
torney Jerome consents to rearrange
his court calendar This was the an
nouneement made today at the Dis
trict Attorneys office.
After notice was served on. Jerome
by Thaw's counsel that motion would
be made for the appointment of COM
mission to take the testimony of wit
nesses outside the State. Jerome in
anticipating that the motion would be
granted, set about TO arrange his court
calendars and has the lists all made
out for the first two and part of the
third months of next year.
Yesterday. Mr.. Jerome received no
tiee from Clifford W. Hartridge of
Thaw's counsel that he would withdraw
the motion for the appointment of a
commission which was argued on Mon
day last, thereby hoping, it was said.
to secure an early trial for his client
but now that the calendars have been
prepared it is not likely that his hope
will be realized.

He stands out as a tremendous fig
ure and performs his duties in a
clever manner. When he forces the
men to break he fairly pulls them
apart and they seem like pigmies in
his grasp.
Burns is shown to have been the ag-
gressor throughout the fight and he
is after his opponent all the time. He
fairly hurls himself from his corner at
the opening Of each round and seems
tireless. Several times he stands and
looks at his elusive opponent in evident
disgust at his failure TO bring him
down.
O'Brien received a terrible blow on
the nose in the NTH round and ii took
him some time TO recover from its
effects. In the ninth round he was
butted on the forehead and bled pro-
fusely from the wound.
Burns fought in a frenZied manner,
apparently thinking he had his man in
distress. Burns slipped down in the
fourteenth round, but he bounded up
like a rubber ball Throughout the
fight Burns was as quick as a fash
on his feet, but he showed little skill
as boxer. His best blow was a right

opponent
Scenes at the training camps of the
boxers were shown before the fight
pictures and proved interesting.
The first definite announcement re-
garding ar opponent for Jimmy Britt
was made last night by Willis Britt,
who said his brother would meet Will
lie Fitzgerald in this city on the 2Sth
inst if Fitzgerald wins from Peter
Sullivan at Dayton, Ohio. next Monday
night Britt has been approached on
the subject of a match at Tonopah in
February with Joe Cans. The club will
probably offer a $4,000 purse. Cans
would like to take on Britt at catch
weights, but the latter will hold out
for 1913 pounds, the weight they made
when they met in this city. Cans has
said he did not try at their last meet

PILoTAGE BILL DEFEATED
LittIefeid's Measure Beaten by Vote
In the House.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-The Little
field pflotage bill relative to discrim-
ination against the American sailing
vessels in the coasting trade was de-
feated in the House today, 10 to 164.
Humphrey of washington supported
the bill Mann of Illinois asked
whether the bill was not selfish to
a degree, and Humphrey replied it was
selfish in favor of American vessels,
and that the Middle West seemed to
want no legislation except that which
affected the corn fields.
Replying to Prince of Illinois, Ford
hey of Michigan said he did not know
whether labor organizations had in
dorsed the bill or not, but he stood
for it's Justice and merit nevertheless.
Minor of Wisconsin characterized the
present pilotage law as one of the
worst species of graft in the country.
Littlefield stated that the measure
sought to create free pilotage sys-
tenn from Old Point Comfort to the
Rio Grande, such as exists from Old
Point to East Port, Me. He remarked
that a pernicious system had grown up
I'D in Mississippi ports, where discrim-
ination was made against Maine coast
wise vessels and in favor of vessels
from other ports. This Williams of
Mississippi Indignantly denied.
Many Republicans voted against the
bill on the ground that it was an
other step toward the Capitalization
of power in the nation. The ayes
were 10, the noes 164.

STANFORD'S COACH
Is BACK FROM
THE EAST
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Dec. g.
Coach James F. Flanagan returned to
the campus today after a trip to the
East, where he witnessed several of the
big football games. He denied the
rumor that he was to accept a position
with Harvard. flanagan spoke of the
openness of the game and described
the play of the great Eastern teams
He ranked as best the navy aggrega-
ton. The Yale-Harvard match, he said
was exceedingly poor.
The new rules have brought a de-
cidedly different game into the East"
said flanagan. They have opened up
the game, made it more spectacular
and practically done away with mass
play. The new game thus produced is
far more spectacular and exciting
contest than the old one. There was
absolutely none of the brutality and
unnecessary roughness which marred
the Eastern games I witnessed last
year. / do not believe that the new
rules are so much responsible for this
Improvement as the greatly increased
efficiency of the officials, who do not
hesitate to rule men off the field for the
slightest infringement of the rules The
element of danger remains unchanged
and there is much chance OF injury
as there was in the old game The
element of commercialism naturally
still remains and always will remain as
long as intercollegiate sport is main
tanned on its present basis"
1t is understood here that flanagan
has found much in the new rules and
is in favor of abolishing Rugby and
going back to the first love" of the
collegians.

All six bouts on the California Clubs
boxing card for tonight should result
in fast fights, as the boys who are
matched are well known. The main
event will bring together the cleverest
feather-weights in the four-round
branch of the game. Paul Martini will
again try conclusions with frankie Ed
wards, who fought him to a standstill
the last time they met. The special event
for the welter-weight championship
will be lacking in science, but strong
in mixups. Rough House Mcdonald
and Harry Riley are sluggers, who de-
pend chiefly upon their stamina and
hitting powers to. bring home the
winners share of the purse.
The remainder of the card is made
up of the pick of the boys in the
feather-weight class. Loren Brown of
the Reliance Club clashes with Johnny
Murphy. Jack O'Brien from Telegraph
Hill will pit his strength against the
ring generalship of Southside Jack
O'Brien. Joe Leahy is matched with
Charlie Reilly. the shifty California

SENATE WILL PASS
ON TROOP CASE
President Is Asked to Give
Information About Dis
charge of Negro Soldiers
DEBATE IS SPIRITED

WASHINGTON, Dee. 6.-The Senate
today adopted the Penrose resolution
asking the President for information
troops of the Twenty-hfth infantry.
and also the Foraker resolution di-
recting the Secretary of War to trans
nit information on the same subject
Both resolutions carried an identical
amendment by Culberson, asking spe-
ciically for the order to Major Pen
rose commanding the troops. which
directed him not to turn over to the
Texas authorities certain of the troops
demanded.
The action followed two hours de-
bate on the propriety of asking the
President for the information or di-
recting the Secretary of War to fur
nish ii.
Carter observed that it had been
alleged and not denied that the troops
in question committed murder in Texas
This brought Foraker to his feet with
an emphatic disclaimer.
Well" continued Carter, "it has
been alleged and not denied that there
was a disturbance participated in by
troops"
That too, has been denied" as
serted Foraker.
Foraker here produced printed
copy of the testimony in the case
which he had obtained at the War
Department, extracts of which he read
to show, as he said, that it was ''un-
satisfactory, incomplete and of a flmsy
character.
Culberson took the opposite view of
the testimony, but both agreed that
with the unsatisfactory information
it was useless to discuss the case.
Foraker read at length the testi-
mony furnished by the War Depart
ment He said it appeared that muir
der, misprision of felony and perjury
three crimes, for the punishment of
cured to every man the right of trial.
He did not regard it from the stand
point of race question The right of
the army was also involved If he
could dismiss a man he could dismiss
a company, a regiment, a brigade, and,
in fact, on the same theory, the whole
army
During the debate the report was
current among Senators that the
President felt that it would be a mat
ter of courtesy if the resolution should
be addressed to himself, and SO strong,
it was said was this feeling on his
part that he had intimated that un-
less this course was taken there would
be no response.
Senator Morgan of Alabama devoted
two hours to the discussion of his
resolution to secure the control of
the Panama Railroad by the Isthmian
Canal Commission. No action was
taken
