Causes Stir in
Betting RING

NEW YORK. Nov. IA young
woman wearing mans clothing caused a
dutter in the betting ring at Aqueduct
Tuesday after the last race. Had II
not been for the fact that she lost her
temper her disguise might not have
been penetrated.
While the betting was going on for the
final race the woman placed a bet Of SO
straight and $50 place with e. J. Ryan
on Hessian at odds OF 31z and 10 5. She
gave the number Of her badge.
When Hessian won she was among the
last in line, and when her turn came she
asked for S3a5. the amount due on the
bet The number OF the badge did not
correspond with the number on the
sheet
Up TO this time there had been no sus-
picion that the person was other than a
young man. The hair was cropped close,
a derby hat covered the small head, and
a long, loose Overcost topped the suit Of
black she wore. Tan gloves and specta-
Giles added 10 the makeup. Accompany
ing her was an elderly man with 8 gray
mustache.

BANK LAW
SEEMS CERTAINTY
George bon L. Meyer
Roosevelt and Postmaster
General Hold Con-
ference.
Bankers Now Realize Ben
eft of Scheme,
1t Is Said.

! Congress VIII pass a postal savings
bank law this winter if all signs do not
fail. So said Postmaster General Meyer
| this morning at the White House after
half an hours conference with the
President.
The Postmaster General is wrapped
up IN the project, heart and soul He
believes the establishment Of a postal
bank would at once cure the bad case
OF money stringency from which we are
suffering, would help business in all
lines. and would increase the revenues
of the Government He says that all
opposition 10 the scheme has melted
away, and he sees no good reason why
a bill providing for the bank should
not be expeditously passed by Congress.
Bankers Understand Proposition.
THE bankers OF the country were at
first opposed to the postal bank" said
Mr.. Meyer after his talk with the Pres
ident, but now that they understand
the proposition. they are in favor Of IT,
almost TO man. They thought it would
hurt their business on the contrary it
will aid them for the Government win
deposit the money it receives from Its
depOsitors in the national banks of the
neighborhood or district in which the
deposits are made.
I'VE have made a careful study OF the
matter and found that last year more
than S150.0O0.OJ0 was sent abroad by i'm
migrants and other foreigners who
would not trust our banks. Much OF
this money we found was deposited IN
foreign postal banks. II we had a
postal bank here backed by the Gov
eminent. a very large part OF this
side OF the water and would have been
available for the uses Of trade.
Danger Of Loss Small.
We believe the danger Of loss to the
Government would be very small indeed.
Up in Canada, for instance, the postal
savings bank has been in operation
thirty nine years and during that time
has handled 100000 OF the peoples
money. The total loss during this time
has been about So, COO

RIG REAL ESTATE BOOM
REPORTED At OAKLAND

Writing from Oakland, Cal, J. A.
Carruth, the former Las Vegas job
printer, newspaper publisher and post
master. says, among other things OF a
personal and business nature:
This section has seen the greatest
real estate boom since the quake 1t
has ever had. Property has been ad'
vanced sometimes to two and three
times its former price. and they all
seem to think they can keep 1t up in
definitely. One real estate man told
ME of piece of property that had sold
M from s4O0 a foot to $3.50 In four
different sales in a month or more
and he did not believe there was a
single one that was legitimate sale.
In riding out from Oakland to my
home today, counted on one side OF
the car only, over 1s0 houses in pro-
cess Of building or not yet occupied.
II you want property cheap 1t can be

ed now and will have to rest for few

my queries in a way that gave me no
information. was rather surprised
at this and a few days later express
ed myself so to friend of the Don's.
He couldn't see through it. but said
he would find out why things were
thus. In couple of weeks he came
to me and said:
"Senor, now know why Don Es-
tanso gave you such coldness."
