New Orleans, March 14.-J. E. Cava- naugh. wealthy lumberman of Dav- enport, Iowa. reported to the police to- day that he has been fleeced out of $37,500 by al party of men in Nevs Orleans who posed as representatives of prominent local sporting clubs. Cavanaugh said he had recently met a middle west man who told him that there was a crowd of wealthy men in New Orleans who were willing to risk all they had on a wrestler here but that he knew man named Marsh from Seattle. Wash, who could throw the New orleans wrestler and an op- portunity was presented to make lot of money.
 Cavanaugh came to New Orleans and says he met by appointment sev- eral well groomed men who said they had wrestler named German who could beat the world. A match was arranged and Cavanaugh bet $37. 800 on Marsh. The match was held in se- cret. Marsh won the first fall but when the men went to the mat the second time Marsh began suddenly bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth. A man who said he was a doctor declared that Marsh was dying. Cavanaugh was told that if he did not want to go to jail he had better get out of the way and he went to Memphis Tenn, temporarily

 CAPTURED TIE DERBY
And at, the Same Time Broke the
 Track Record at New Orleans

New Orleans, March 14-Meelick. just arrived here from the Pacific coast. and almost despised in the bet ting. won the classic S1O.OOO Crescent City Derby today and at the same time broke the track record for distance of l Is miles. The big and brilliant audience had pinned its hopes to Chap ultepec. a l to favorite and went into ectasies during the early part of the race as the favorite. under a brOiling sun, rushed into the lead d length to spare and appeared to be running the big horse from the coast off his feet. At the end of the back stretch Meelick just perceptibly began to close the gap Despite the cries of warning to the faYorite, Meelick continued to gain until early in the home stretch he pOked his nose in front, then moved up nearly a length in the lead and held this position to the finish, running apparently with something stili in reserve. The time 2:0I 4-5. was 2-5 of a second under the track record.
 In the betting Meelick opened at f. and backed down to 3 to l. Pastime. Angelus and PinkOla, the only other horses in the race, were never danger OUs. although Angelus who finished third. gave a game exhibition of stick ing close to the leaders.

PANAMA'S WELCOME
To the Torpedo Boats Which Arrived
 Ahead of Time.

Panama, March 14.-The arrival Of the fleet of torpedo boats today caused great excitement as the torpedo boat destrOyers had not been expected for a day or two. Everybody however was apparently pleased, especially the Americans from the canal zone who have been arriving here all day in or der to get a glimpse of the boats an chored in the bay. A decree of vel come was issued by the Panama gov ernment and many invitations to so- cial entertainments to be given in hon. or of the visitors were sent to Lieuten- ant Commander Cone.
 President Amador's decree says is part: First, the officers of the de- stroyer squadron shall be guests of the republic during their sojourn here. Second. the national flag shall be hoisted on all public buildings on the arrival of the squadron and shall re- main hoisted the whole day. Third, the inhabitants of the city are hereby requested to decorate the facades of their houses with the flags of Panama and the United States during the vis- it of the squadron in token of the brotherhood between the two countries. Fourth. the festivities in honor of the officers and crews shall be governed by special program and expenses incurred shall be defrayed by the national treasury"

Tilt AERIAL NAVY
 DISCUSSED BY MAXIM
He Also Speaks of the Warlke Prep
 arations Made by Japan

New York, March 14.-Expressing belief that an aerial navy will be step in the final conquest of the air. Hudson Maxim. inventor of explosives and the first maker of smokeless pow der in this country. speaking tonight at the second annual banquet of the Aero club of New York, at the St Regis. declared that we must have armaments in order to enforce inter national law. We need a stronger navy Maxim surprised his hearers by declaring that the Japanese have recently purchased ,pf a steel compan, of Newark N. J., three thousand tons of rifle barrels and rifles. enough to arm 7500OO men. Most of the rifles, the speaker stated, were in the hands of the Japanese troops.
 Maxim. speaking of the part the flying machine would play in war. said Some terrible things have been pre- dicted for flying machines as an en- zine of war It is comforting to know no very great loss of life and property would result from dynamite dropping from the flying machines, for the req son that it requires confinement to work very wide destruction. Half a ton of dynamite dropped upon the four-inch deck of a battleship. might kill few men and wreck some super structure, or bend the deck a bit. but the destruction would not be wide spread. The crew below would not be injured. Dropped on coast fortifica- tions the damage would be negligible. Half a ton of bombs dropped into the streets of a large city or on the tops of great buildings would wreck a few foundations and break a lot of glass and kill a few people.
 Flying machines have great use in war as scouting craft for the purpose of locating the enemy and inspecting his position, but the enemy would have aerial picllets out too, and there would be many a tilt of war between the war ring craft"

BETWEEN THE DEVIL
 AND THE DEEP SEA
The Present International Position of Con-
 tnentdl Europe
It Looks With Equal DisfaVOr Upon America the West and Japan In the Far East Disturbers of Equilibrium

New York, March 14.-Former Comp troller of Currency B. Hepburn the new president of the Chase National Bank. after a two months sojourn m Europe. gave out an interview today He said: "One thing that most strong ly impresses itself upon the mind of the observer in Europe at the present time is the fact that the continent of Europe does not like the United States. They regard us as a bumptious people that ought to be spanked into some sort of decOrum. They would welcome and rejoice in any international com plication not involving themselves, that would bring us into difficulties. We are their commercial and financial rivals. They think, or affect to. that their financial and commercial diff culties are chargeable to us.
 Tt is our growing importance as a naval and military power that most disturbs them. l. disturbs the inter national balance of power as it hereto fore existed and upon which their di- plOmacy has heretofore been used. Neither does the continent or Europe like Japan for similar reasons. Her re- gently achieved naval and military prestige, and her English alliance has brought Japan to the front in the fam fly of nations, an aggressive force that must be reckoned with in world pol itics. It calls a halt to territorial acquisition in the east from. now on and is likely to mark the recession of European influence in Asia.
 'COncomitant herewith, European commerce is suffering a serious check and is bound in the future, in view of the wonderful commercial adaptability and activity by the Japanese to en- counter a competition heretofore un- known. It follows from this condition of affairs that nothing would be con- templated with greater complacency by the continental powers than war be- tween the United States and Japan. This explains the repeated rumors from Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg of the impending difficulties between the United States and Japan. The wish IS father to the thought and con-

The Deposit Guaranty Feature of It He Believes, In the Long kun Would Be Costly to the People

Washington, March l4. - Represent tative Burton of Ohio today submitted to the house a minority report. which recommended tn passage of the Fowler currency bill. Burton's report con recommended the passage of the Fowl er currency bill. Burtons report con IL makes no reference to either the AL drich bill or the Williams bill the lat ter measure having been recommended by the democratic members in a min ority report.
 h the report, Burton says he does not regard the passage of the Fowler bill either practicable or desirable
 After citing some of the provisions of the bill, admitting the soundness of their theory. Burton says: At the same time the measure is most revo- lutionary in character and the changes contemplated are quite as radical as have ever been attempted in any ad- vanced country, save under the stress of highly exceptional circumstances. such as exacted by war or a change of the government. For more than forty years there has been currency. which however unsatisfactory it may be in important particulars possessed Athe quality of undoubted security. Peo- pie will not readily consent to so mark ed departure as would be involved in the substitution of a guarantee fund which is expected tO secure not only the problem of one billion bank notes. but thirteen millions of deposits.

GROWING CONFIDENCE
 IN FINANCIAL WORLD
A Reflection of It in the Strong Clos. ing of the Week.

New York, March 14.-The stock market made a striking demonstration of strength today during the short Saturday session and gave convincing evidence of substantial speculative revival with growing confidence and an expression of broadening partici- patton of the number concerned in operations.
 The movement showed a variety of considerable uniformity although some stocks which advanced most during the week did not share fully in the advance. Profit taking. which caused this. was in evidence again when the market closed and made the tone slightly unsettled. but most of the gains were well maintained to the last. Bonds were strong.

Says the representative: Such a provision places upon the same level the banker of prudence and honesty, and one who is careless and ready to resort to questionable methods. Under a guaranty of deposit the money of depositors would inevitably gravitate to banks and financial institutions and speculative centers. because higher rates of interest could be obtained. The result would be that capital would be invested in a manner which would be sure to lead to speculation and un- successful undertakings. In the long run. the public as in the case Of all oppressive, unnatural legislation would be compelled to bear the loss, either from higher rates of interest of of lower return on deposits.
