Misguided followers OF the boxing
game who spent good dollars and time
going to the recent Tonopah FROST
where they froze their feet and cursed
the blizzard, will feel that insult has
been heaped on injury by the eastern
yellows. The New York morning
Heartite reproduces some old midsum-
mer battle scene where painting fans
sit about the ring in shirt sleeves fam
ming themselves with their straw hats,
and labels It: THE Gans-Herman
Fight"
The day of that fiasco at the sage
brush camp the arctic circle would have
seemed warm to those who escaped the
snowbound trains and reached the
ramshackle pavilion.
Any old hogwash seems to be good
enough for New York yellow sport
pages.
Los Angeles people who are ac~
quainted with Joe Choynski will be glad
to learn that the former California
light heavyweight has been selected as
boxing Instructor for the new Illinois
Athletic club of Chicago.

sharp Practice

Oil company saw there was good
money IN the national banking
business and organized the Nation
al City Bank f.sNew York. The
company had sufficient pull to be-
come Il depository of the national
funds, which millions 1t used in its
business.
Nearly ten years ago the nation
al government decided to build a
new customs house IN New York
City. Although it was evident
that this new customs house in
course of construction would not
be ready for occupancy for several
years, the national government
through Lyman j. Gage, then
secretary of the treasury. decided
some eight years since to take ad-
vantage of Il certain offer that had
been made by the National City
Bank of New York City.
This. is what happened: The
National City bank agreed to buy
the old customs house property,
then owned and occupied by the
government, for 70, 265, 900. The
bankers drew their checks for
G,2l5,OOO. which 1t was agreed
they could deposit in their own
bank to the credit of the United
States. 1t was further agreed that
the balance Of the purchase price,
$50, 900, should be paid when the
government moved into ITS new
customs house. Then the hank
charged the government $3.50, 600
rent . year. Since the hank has
not paid the last $50, 900, the title
to the property remained with the
government and thus the state of
New York was cheated out Of
some SO, 900 Il year 10 taxes, which
could have been collected II the
title bad passed. That is why the
bank with the governments cOn-
sent, drew ITS first check go. 600
shy. Thus the government. %
owner of the property, pays rent
to the bank, and rs the renter OF
tho property It allowed the bank
to dodge its taxes. The National
City bank moreover had the use ri
the governments 3, l25, 900. which
NJ four per cent interest Melted the
bank $l2s, 900 yearly.
II il eight years since this re-
markable deal between the Stand
ard Oil hank and the government
Was pulled of. In eight years the
hank has collected from the gov.
eminent 81. O44. sos IN rent. They
have made 81 OPS. 500 IN interest At
four per cent on the 43,2l5, 900
deposited to their use. They have
saved $500, 900 by the non'pay.

they have made t2,83S, 600 10 eight

The Wall Street panic can BE-
easily overcome BY ap increase OF

feared 10 the unemployed labor
proposition which now menaess
the country.
The reports of commercial trev.s
elers are uniform in describing
trade everywhere - dull, their ex-
plantations being that the retail
merchants are overloaded with
stock. This condition of the re-
tail merchants 10 both confirmed
and explained by reports from ell
qusrters of the laying Cd Of work
mon and the lessening OF produc-
ton. A significant fact in the
same connection 10 the return of
theatrical companies from "tbe
road" with stories Of empty
theaters everywhere.
New York reports of the 18th
relative to the employment of
labor showed au estimate Of $780,
600 idle men in the steel, iron and
allied trades alone. and curtail-
ment of work by the steel trust 10
the point Of IS per cent. Of ito cap
