The Financial Furry.

1.-The financial institutions of this grea I
city have had during the past three weeks
one Of the severest tests they have ever
undergone, and when the people Of the
country realize. as those OF us VINO are
familiar with the conditions realize, what
they have done to stay panic and re
establish confidence. the measure OF public
approval of their services will be large
indeed. Other great commercial and in
dustriaI centers have co-operated, and
back of them all has stood the govern
ment as representing all the people seek
ing to aid only legitimate interests and to
render assistance to every state and every
section.
Now that the financial storm appears
to be subsidng we should turn our at
tention more and more to the relief of the
country at large. In the south and west
and on the Pacific coast and in other
sections there are heavy demands upon
all available funds for the movement of
our crops, for the continuance of other
mercantile undertakings and. what We
must not for moment forget, for the en-
ployment of labor. One of the most graft
flying incidents of our recent trouble has
been the prompt and patriotic response
of many of our great labor organizations
to the appeal of employers for their CO.
operation. This cooperation. in most
cases initiated by them: should be availed
of everywhere by employers. and should
be generously recognized as a distinct
step toward a better understanding be-
tween employer and employed.

of every section shall be fairy treated,
their needs and requirements consulted,
and. above ALL that whatever action is
finally taken, it shall be so sound and
wholesome as to enhance our commercial
standing among the nations of the world
AS people we have this and many other
grave problems before us. Their solution
will not be a thing of a month or
year. We must approach them with tn
determination to exercis> dispassionate
aim, justice as between man and man.
In the great field of legislation what
we need are fewer and better laws ard
better enforcement of them, Amendment
to existing statutes admittedly defective
will do much to point out limitations
and define liability. We should have
more cooperation in business. whether

Oakland Chiefs Will Ask

OAKLAND. June 11.-Chief Engineer
Ball of the Oakland fire department
has declared himself strongly in favor
of q permanent. fully paid fire depart
ment for this city. This opinion is
based upon the rapid growth OF the
city, its expanded area OF homes. ware
houses and factories requiring in
creased fre lighting facilities.
Ball does not expect to get such a
department at this time. He says that
the first and essential need is an in
crease in the fire department appartus.
He Is at present preparing number OF
recommendations for consideration by
the city council when the tax levy and
budget shall be taken up for the COM
ing fiscal year.
Chief Ball declared today that lack
of proper protection against fire In
some parts of the city had forced in
surance rates up, and that tax payers
were demanding more protection for
their homes.
The council has provided for the in
stallation of 90 new fire hydrants In
various localities.
Chief OF Police Wilson will ask the
city council to increase the department
More pRy for captains and detectives

STANDING OF THE CLUBS /
By w. j. Slattery

For three innings yesterday the
Seals thought they were the. real and
original gravy shooters on the Oak
land diamond and that their mere pres
ence- at the rendezvous indicated that
they had the Indian sign on every
Commuter who came to the bat
They did manage to get away
with this sort of play for three
innings, but after that the Com
muteTs hooked everything that Oscar
Jones unloaded. 1t does not look quite
correct in the score, but nevertheless
It is all true, and the Commuters per-
formed the work with the assistance
OF their clubs. each OF which swung
about-right at the opportune moment
If the Seals had the ability to finish
with the speed they displayed at the
starting period the fans would have
been telling a different story around
the corners last night But the fact
that the San Francisco delegation dis
played the down and out sign after the
Oakland should have had license to
rally and take the game when the op-
portunity presented itself.
The Seals started their short victor
ious stride in the second inning before
the Commuters had awakened to the
fact that a game of ball was in progress.
Shaughnessy responded with a three
cushion drive against the center field
fence and paused but a moment when
Spencer popped up a fly to Heitmuller
which gave the lengthy Seal center
fielder time to shut his eyes and stroll
to the plate.
An inning went by and neither team
did any good. But the fourth brought
another one for the Seals. Williams
was the lad to start the procession
this time. accomplishing the feat by
working a base on balls. No sooner did
he land then Shaughnessy punched a
hole In the next one that went into
center for a couple of bags. Williams
could have slept and then scored. but
he did not linger by the wayside and.
therefore, had that much extra time
to waste on the bench.
The Commuters did not feel any too
good when they came up for theirs in
the fourth. In fact, blue was the popu-
lar color on the bench. But Van Hal
tren changed the complexion bft by
landing on one that took a course
safely into the center garden. Heit-
muller got pass and Eagan forced
him at second; Bliss started the Oak
land lights f1ickering by swinging
through with a single to left, scoring
Van.
Bigbee took one in the ribs and they
all came home as soon as Haley drove
the next fast one on line to the center
garden for three sacks. Willis did
the best he could to grab the sphere,
but ft was going too fast and. in spite
Of his efforts. 1t continued on It's
course direct.
That three cushion punch by Haley
not only took all the fight out OF the
Seals, but IT also served to endow
pitcher Ell Gates of the Oaks and all
his supporters with the victorious spirit.
After the fourth. period the indeid of
the Oakland team could manage to
grab anything that skipped over the
diamond. no matter how fast it came.
In the meantime the Seals were swing
ing wildly at the brand that Eli Gates
had tucked away under his sleeve,
SO nobody who saw the game from the
fourth inning was a bit surprised at
the finish. The score:

Senator Morgan had been in bad
health for a number of years, but had

well. He also opposed the railroad
rate bill. purely on the ground OF state
rights. a doctrine for which he had
once fought himself into brigadier

Senator Morgan was one of the
strong men OF America and his indu-
ence was felt whenever he took issue
in the senate. AS a public man he took
his duty seriously. and kept himself
thoroughly informed on all questions.
especially foreign affairs. When he
rose IN the senate every one knew that
he was going TO say something that
was worth listening TO-.
