CHICAGO, Oct. 19-Professional per-

have taken more than 81 100000 fraudu-
lently from the city in four years, are
TO be driven from. Chicago and, if pos
sible, to the ,penitentiary by a triple
alliance In which the city administration
is the principal factor.
Chicago practically has completed an
arrangement withe traction companies
and the steam railroads entering the city
to carry on an offensive and defensive
campaign against these people. Besides
these parties to the alliance forty cor.
porations-all victims OF the personal in
jury fakers-have been invited to assist
In the establishment of a clearing house
for the records of professional crooks
of this sort.
This action was decided on yesterday
by First Assistant City Attorney Clyde
A. Morrison, after 1t was discovered that
there were whole families which, using
various names, were suing the city or
fake charges. Besides this it was learned
that the professional "invalids," assisted
by lawyers of like stripe, are living In

Investigation of some of these cases

By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Mail advices
from Manila report that Akasa Tsuka, the
Japanese consul for the Philippines. has
recently concluded his first visit to the
southern islands, Upon his return to
Manila the consul said that the great
natural wealth of the southern Phil
ippines astonished him and that he can
readily see that the United tSates will
never desire to sell the islands. He was
very much impressed also with the mill
tary government of the Moro provinces.
He considers 1t one of the most effective
and practical systems that could be de-
vised for the Moros. N
/''The Moro" he said. Seems to be
bright and honest and will under the
present system of government develop
into fine citizen some day. as have the
natives of the mountains of Formosa un-
der the Japanese government.
Everybody in the southern islands
seems talking hemp and copra and to be
leaving politics to shift for itself.
and there seems to be no question of race
or anything except the development OF
the country. This bettering their own
condition seems to ocupy Americans, Jap
anese and Filipinos, and think that this
accounts for the present prosperity" :

TO DEVELOP BIG COAL
DEPOSIT NEAR MONTEREY
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. ia large de-
post of coal in Monterey county is about
TO be developed and the coal put upon the
market within the next eight months In
quantities sufficient to supply the entire
Pacific slope with fuel for domestic pur-
poses.
The property, held dormant all the
years since Stanford and Huntington
first acquired it, has passed through fac
tional control of men who believed In
and of others who disputed the existence
of coal there. Now practical eastern coal
men, combined with well known Caiifor-
mia oil and ore men, have secured the
land and intend to press the work of
actual development of what is said to be
a huge source of coal of good quality.
Work, it is said, was started yester-
day on the property, which lies on the
western slope of the coast range of
mountain sin the southeasterly part of
Monterey county, near the Fresno line.
It is within twenty-five miles of the line
OF the Southern Pacific railroad and
eighty miles from possible water trans
portation.

NEW YORK Oct 1e.-The close Of the two
hours session of the stock exchange today was
greeted with relief 1t was the end OF trou,
bled and anxious week. The breathing spelt
over the weeks end is looked to with satis-
faction and with hope of a clearing up OF
troublesome factors and re-estabisnment OF
confidence
THAT confidence was still lacking today was
shown by the feverish and uncertain fluctua-
tions OF prices. There were points of some
resistance in the market and occasional inarked
rebounds in prices, but these ran out IN wiiu
and hesItatng fluctuations which brought no
assurance of stability The whole market sold
off to the lowest Of the day in the maj DEAL
ings and closed weak. These prices ARE, as a
rule, the lowest made in the stock market Tor
several years past.
In the copper stocks, Reading and the Har-
rmans there evidence of active iquida-
tion again. and this proved that the selling
out of loans in the process of cleaning up that
is being pursued by the banks Is still in
progress.
The bank statement disclosed the progress
of this policy, although the S6555.6O0 loan con-
traction was coneidered exceedingly moderate
In view of the drastic purging that mas peeb

The item that attracted most attention was
the addition of S. 44 900 to the cash holdings u
the banks. The known movement OF currency
for the weak furnished no trace OF the source
of this gain. The fact of this accumulation
made some impression an evidence OF prepa-
rations by the banks for possible strain, and
the greater strength thus secured to the bank
