ACTION COMMENDED
ROOSEVELT RECEIVES MANY CON-
 GRATUIATIORY TELEGRAMs.
Before the Business Day of Treasury Had Ended, Many Applications Arrived For the New
 G,arffNCate.


 Washington, Nov. IS = President Roosevelt has been commended and congratulated throughout the day on the wisdom and success of the financial relief measures launched yesterday by the administration.
 Many telegrams from all parts of the country, including New York, Chicago and other large cities. have been ar irving all day at the White House. and after being read by the Presi- dent. have been referred to Secretary Cortelyou at the Treasury Department. The callers at the White House, who have been numerous, for a continuous rainy day. have each added an opin- ion on the optimistic side of the sit- uation.
 Tn ePresident was informed from Buff falo that his letter expressing conf- dence in the financial soundness of the country had been printed in several languages in Buffalo and distributed among depositors who were making a run on a bank there with the effect of checking the run. Before the busi- ness day of the treasury had ended, many applications arrived for the new certificates of indebtedness. The fiscal uses to which these certificates may be put will make the demand for them very general. according to the opinion of experts in the department. They may be registered in the treasury and partake of the nature of a government bond, and as such be deposited as se- curity for national bank circulation or deposits When not registered, 1t Is predicted they will circulate freely as currency. The interest on a $50 certif- cate will amount to 12 1-2 cents a month and the holder may easily ob- tain credit for the amount of interest he is entitled to tt his bank. Assur- ance was given today that the gold reserve of the government was be- hind these certificates and this fact added to their interest bearing fea- lures, would make them eagerly sought
 The hint contained in the Presidents letter that financial relief legislation was assured. resulted in many inqui- ried during the day to develop ia ex- act situation. It Is admitted the res- ident has consulted freely with the leaders of both Houses of Congress by mail and in person, but just what

New York, Nov. 1S.-After a long discussion at its annual meeting today, the Amateur Athletic Union finally de- cided on the status that college athletes are to hold in amateur athletics in the future.
 By the resolution which was finally passed it is decreed that college ath- ietes may only register with the union from two places, their colleges and the homes of their parents or guardians An attempt was made to confine col delegates believing that this change was altogether too drastic, the resolu- tion was amended to include their homes. reelected president and Major John G: Dixon was continued in the position of secretary treasurer. John J. OConner, and a E Eyerett hH,nIn; c Brown were elected vice presidents. For the first time in many years, the Canadian amateurs were not represented in the gathering. Their absence was looked upon as marking the final severance of relations between Canada and American amateur athlet- tcs. The report of the national regis the opening session of the meeting, was approved. Among the cases passed that of Charles Duncaon n,thupSou upon was Charles Dpncan, South Atlan-

is the present status of the IegisIa- ton plans is withheld. One point of unanimity IS certain.
 Every Senator and member of the House of Representatives who has call ed at the White House during the financial distress, has been free to say that financial legislation would be the first business of the next session of Congress-. The President has been heartily seconded in his statement of the soundness of the country's finances and that the vanishing point of the financial furry has arrived.
 As indicative of the state of mind of Congress, it may be stated that In gathering of six Republican Senators, Messrs. Foraker, Lodge, Warren, Scott, Bulkely and Warner, all of them ex- pressed the decided opinion that some fina nciai legislation is necessary and will be enacted during the approach ing session of Congress, but there was much variance of opinion as to what it is or should be. No Democratic Senators were present, and consequent ly there was no opportunity of se- curing the Democratic view at that time. In the House there is a dispo- sition to demand that the fnanciers reach an agreement before asking Con- gress to act. The general impression there as in the Senate is that there should be legislation but more is made of the difficulty of arriving at the agreement As to the form it should take.

RACING AT SAN JUAN.
F. c. ARIEL TALKS or PORTO RICO
 SITUATION.
Believes That Horse Lovers VIII UIti- mately Transfer Meetings to Is- land Where Pool Selling is
 Allowed.

Among the passengers who came to Montgomery on the Selma train yester- day morning was F. c. Abeel who ham dled Addie C.. the speedy Constantine pacer owned by Webb, of Nashville. and Pulsus. the bay Egotist trotter be- longing to Fies and Company of Bir- mingham.
 MT. Abeel is wintering his string in Selma but he Is going to make a change of base and is en route to Bir- mingham He will sail in a few days for Porto Rico where he has signed a one year contract to handle the horses and take charge of a big stock farm near San Juan belonging to some New York miilionaires. They already have twenty bfooded brood mares and a couple of stallions-one by Constantine and the other by Brown Hal.
 Mir. Abeel says he thinks it will only ' be a question of time before they will be having big race meets in San Juan. His idea is that the crusade against pool selling that Is sweeping over the country will cause lots of horsemen to send their strings to Porto Rico If the purses are hung high enough and the meeting is made reasonably long. As there will be no trouble in selling pool there he thinks a great meeting can be gotten up.
 Addie c. was sent back to Nashville kV " thi hCu Ouh AOA Nhc "AheOA oho hO has in Selma only two Birmingham horses-Peal Hal, 6-year-old chestnut pacing mare, by Brown Hal, Jr., out of Jessie McEwen by Me- Ewen, and Pulsus. the 7-year-old trot- ting stallion. s.
 Peal Hal bids fairS to be a great pacer next season. MT. Abeel says she Is not only very fast but Is working better every day, working a half in one minute flat over the Selma track the other day. She Is owned by Lee Moody of Bessemer.
 Pulsus Is better than he ever was &C., cording to Mir. Abeel. He has had him shod differently and says that he is working evenly and smoothly now. There is no question about the speed of this bay son of Egotist, for he proved during the recent meeting at Vandiver Park that he has lots of it. Two years ago Ed Geers turned down the stallion on account of his behavior, but if he can ever be made to quit breaking and settle down to his great stride he will be the horse that lot of them will have to beat next year.
 Mir. Abeel left for Birmingham yes- terday afternoon to settle up with Fies and Company. and MT. Moody and turn ovor his outfits in Selma to them, after which he will go to New Orleans and sail at once for the shores of Porto Rico.

Clever InfieIder Who Has Been
With the Dayton ShiIohs,
Now in Richmond.
VENT COMES WEDNESDAY
KokoMo AGGREGATION WILL
COME TO RICHMOND FOR TWO
GAMES.

Shortstop Mensler, the clever little
infielder with the Dayton Shilohs last
season and whom Manager Jessup has
been trying to land for the locals since
the team was first organized. has at
last expressed a willingness to play
with the locals Mensler has arrived
here and at once came to terms with
the management. Mensler will dis
place Meredith at short stop. Mere
dith has not been in condition to play
this season and the first game he
played with the locals he had a ball in
his hands for the first time since last
summer. He did most creditable
work, Notwithstanding this handicap,
and was going nicely until last Satur
day when he had the misfortune to
have a horse fail on his foot and place
that member out of commission for
the time being.
Pitcher Wentz is expected to report
Wednesday and will probably pitch
the first game of the series at Port
land that afternoon. The addition of
Wentz and Member to the team fills
up all the weak spots except in left
field. Burns, who Manager Jessup
hoped to land for this position, will
probably remain with the Dunkirk
team as he states that he has prom
ised to play there. Burns worked at
first base for the locals Sunday and
he made decided hit with the fans.
Jimmy Cameron has gone to Marion
while his injured foot is on the hos
pital list but it is expected that his
pedal will be in such shape as to per-
NIT him to play the latter part of this
week.
Next week the fans will be given
a base bali treat. Manager Jessup
has secured q series of two games
with the crack Sharpsville- Kokomo
outfit which has been beating all COM
ers and which trimmed the Portland
team soundly Monday.
