Pittshurg, Jan. 1S.--One large wO-

company OF the pay as you enter

The woman. Mrs. Mary Myers, at

Il big bundle under one arm and the

# Richmond Enters the Indi-
ana-0hio Aggregation, the
Ohio State League Is Almost
Sure to Cry "0utIaW."
QUINN TALKS WITH
JESSUP OF PROSPECT
It Was Pointed Out That Rich
mond Objected to the High
Salary Limit of the Pro-
posed New Circuit.

President Bobby Quinn of the Ohio
State League, called on Manager Jes-
sup yesterday afternoon over the long
distance telephone and inquired about
the local baseball situation. He was in
formed that the hackers of the Rich
mond baseball club objected to the
high salary limit established for the
Ohio State league and that if the Indi-
ana-Ohio league was reorganized at
the meeting held here Monday, Rich
mond would accept franchise in that
organization.
President Quinn informed Jessup
that while he was in Hamilton men in
terested in placing a league team there
Informed him that they would do moth
ing until after the Richmond meeting
Monday. President Quinn seemed to
be much disappointed about the Hamil-
ton situation.
He said that Notwithstanding reports
to the contrary, Springfield would have
a team in the Ohio State league. The
street car company in that city he said,
had given 81 800 toward organizing the
club and that Mayor Burnett would
furnish the remainder of the financial
backing. Lima and GAINESVILLE. he said
were sure to have franchises in the
Ohio State League.
1t is probable that in the event Rich
mond decides not TO become a member
of the Ohio State league the powers
that-be in that organization will wage
a hot fight against the lndianaOhio
league. Promoters of the Ohio State
league are determined to have Rich
mond enter that organization and have
applied to the national minor leagues
association for protection for this city.
In the event that this protection is
granted they will probably make an
effort to have the |. o. league declared

MINERS IN MAD RUSH

Passages to Escape Flames.
Monongahcla. Pa, Jan. 1S.-Mirac-

or suffocation, or being blown to
pieces by an explosion, where the
miners employed in the Catsburg
mine Of the Monongahela River Con
Solidated Coal and Coke company
made their way through the dark
heads for a distance of seven miles,
and finally reached the open air.
Without lights to guide them. and
given up as dead, the men battled for
five hours with fire, and when they
reached the surface their faces were
blackened. clothes torn and all were
severely bruised from stumbling in
their flight for safety. Fortunately.
the mine contained very little gas. or
another mine disaster would have
been recorded in Western Pennsyl-
vania. The mine was fired some time
during the day by blowout" shot,
and when the fire was discovered at
9 O'Clock at night by the 40 men all

Monongahela entry was cut off Mo
mentarily expecting an explosion,
with its horrible consequences. the
men started. panic stricken, for the
entry at Charleroi, seven miles away.
In their frenzy they stumbled and fell
but only to jump up again and con
tinue their mad rush for safety. The
experience was probably the most
frightful a body of coal miners has
ever had When the men reached the
surface at a. m. majority of them
were Sobbing like children.

CIVIL SERVICE
IS NOW POpULA
Unemployed Men Inquiring of
EXAMS"

Inquiries relative to civil service ex-
animation have been more numerous
at the Richmond postoffice during the
past few weeks than ever before.
There are two reasons for this, ac-
cording to the postmaster. The prin-
.cipal reason being that many factory
men and others have been out of work
for long periods. The other is that
the pay of federal employees has been
increased and those holding positions
are assured of permanent employment
during good behavior. There will be
no examinations in Richmond other
than those for place in local postal
service this spring. The commission
will make further announcement of
examinations February 1.

$97 100000 IN
LOAN CERTIFICATES
ISSUED IN n. Y.
This Was Total Amount Is
sued by Clearing House
During the Time of the FL
nanCiaI StringenCy.
GREAT GAIN IN CASH
SINCE NOVEMBER SHOWN.
Clearing Houses Were Able to
Convert a Deficit of Over
Fifty Million to a Surplus of
Over Six Million.

New York. January 1S.-The loan
certificates issued by the New York
clearing house during the recent finan-
cial stringenCy reached a total of $751;
100000 according to a statement pre-
pared by President Alexander Gilbert,
of the Clearing House Association. Of
this amount. however. only SI4,o0O,WO
in certificates was put into actual use.
The movement to retire these certifi-
Gates began Immediately after the cri
sis of the financial situation was pass
ed, and has progressed rapidly since
By far the greater proportion of the
certificates. President Gilbert says
have now been retired.
This is the first public statement
that has been made of the extent to
which the clearing house resOrted to
certificates to prevent the banks being
drained Of their cash and to prevent
the banks embarraSSments which
might have resulted from the continue
ed requirement of cash payments at
the clearing house when the recent
panic was at it's height.
In 1898, when the clearing house is
sued loan certificates. the amount Ia
ken out was $41 ,69N0o0 or more than
So pN.O0u under the amount Of the is
sue OF 1907. Mr. Gilbert makes the
point. however. that so large has been
the increase in bank deposits that
whereas in 1913 the loan certificates
amounted to about 10 per cent. of the
deposits. the certificates in 1907
amounted to less than > per cent. of
the total deposits.
The Gain in Cash.
The great gain in the cash made by
the banks since the end of November
is shown by the fact that within the
seven weeks. from November % to Jan
uary II the clearing house banks were
able to convert a deficit of more than
sol. 100000 into a surplus Of over $50
100000 and at the same time retire
the certificates.
The issuance of these certificates,
MI Gilbert says. furnishes the best OBJ
ject lesson OF an emergency currency,
one that is perfectly secure and one
which can be put into effect without
any complicated bank machinery.
On this point. Mr.. Gilbert says: "All
that is needed to adapt such a system
to our requirements is development,
and | feel confident that if the sub
ject could be referred to the clearing
house committees of the three central
reserve cities. an emergency currency
plan could be evolved that could be in
harmony with our national banking
system and be less subject to criticism
and opposition than any other system
which has yet been proposed.
