EGGS AS COLLATERAL.
Banks Agree Not to Lend More
Than 10 Cents q Dozen on Them.

PITTSBURG March 30-The banking
interests Of the country. including the
banks Of New York and Chicago. have
agreed that in future they will not lend
more than 10 cents dozen on eggs IN
cold storage, and those who store eggs are
warned to govern themselves accordingly
in buying eggs for storage. which buying
will begin all over the country April I.
Pittsburg bankers have agreed to go
along with those of Chicago and New
York. The movement will control the
storage of not fewer than 800. OOO, COO
dozen eggs.
Last year as much as II cents a dozen
was loaned on eggs in storage and the an
rouncement that limit has been put on
egg certificates is expected to cause
slump in egg prices.
Eag authorities say there will be over
400. OoO. 900 dozen eggs stored in the next
few weeks at perhaps ID cents dozen.
Last year eggs were stored at 1S and ~
cents. and they were later retailed at 40
cents 4 dozen OF more.
Pittsburg will store 100000 cases, each
ca Sc holding thirty dozen. New York Will
store about !, 100000 cases. Chicago about
the same number Boston 65O.CO0 cases,
PHILADELPHIA $50 700 cases. Cincinnati 80
600 cases and other cities In proportlon
Egg certificates. or negotlable war
rants as they are better known. have
become a very large factor IN Pittsburs
business, and are almost as freely recog-
nixed as pig iron certificates. Yesterdays
move is the first on the part of the bank
ing interests to control the output OF the
American hen. an industry twice as big
as the iron and steel business.
WOODSVILLE, N. f., March 20-In a

mile and a half south OF the Haverhill
station today. Engineer E. r. Cross and
Fireman Converse. both of Concord. were
killed, and Fireman 4. T. Davis OF

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 2O-The frmness
of the stock market for the greater part
Of yesterdays session and the sharp rally
In the late trading led some observers
who had been skeptical of the ability of
optimistic operators to hold prices at
about the present level to believe that
there would be two sides to the market.
although the range of fluctuations might
not be wide. 1t was claimed that large
part Of the transactions yesterday orig
mated with the professional element. but
apparently important interests do not wish
to see the market sink back at this time
to the level from which it started two
weeks ago.
On the other hand, they do not propose
apparently to bid up prices as aggressive
ly just now AS they did do last week and
the week before. 1t looks to most observ-
ers as though they were endeavoring to
create new short interest on which to
make another campaign for higher prices.
A man who is in touch with very i'm
portant corporation interests which also
have been equally important factors In
the stock market and who himself has
been extremely pessmistic regarding the
business situation for more than a year.
said this morning that while he would not
be surprised to see securities sell lower
without a panic In 1908 than they did with
a panic in 1907. he believes that before the
LIST of May the leading issues will sell con-
siderably higher than present PRICES.
Another man whose official position and
business relations might easily make it
possible for him to have excellent infor-
nation regarding Union Pacific affairs ex-
pressed the opinion this morning that the
plans that have been under consideration
for some time for segregating assets of
the Union Pacific into a new holding COM
pany is likely to he brought out within
the next week or ten days. He also init
mated that when the announcement ac-
tually comes it will be fully unexpected
as the increase to 10 per cent in the Union
Pacific common dividend and the declara-
ton of the initial dividend on Southern
Pacific common.
Although this matter has been discussed
in the street for many months and it
would seem to have been fully discounted.
he apparently thinks that the actual
transactions or a further anticipation of 1t
will be one Of the most potent factors In
the speculative market.

MANY BOXERS
HEARD FROM

Word is expected to be received from
Young Nelson by the next boat from
Maui as to whether he will agree to
box Corporal Bird for the lightweight
championship of the Islands, the win
ner to be pitted against the best light
look like a good match, and neither
would have a walkOver.
No answer has been received, so far,
to Jockey Willis challenge to box any
one at los pounds, but it is understood
that there is boy at Fort ShafteF who
might be willing to go on with the
stocky little rider. Willis realizes that
it is going to be difficult to find a man
of his weight in Honolulu, and in order
to help things along would be willing
to concede pound or two.
Mike Patton, perhaps the most popu-
lar of the local boxers, may be seen in
the ring during the presence of the
fleet. At present it is hard to find an
opponent for him for try-out Fort
Shafter has no heavy men other than
Platt of Co. F., who boxes at $50
pounds, and who would be too light for
Patton.
Ernest Heine wants to meet Bird at
122 pounds, but this is less than the
corporal can come to and be strong
enough to do himself justice.
Young Scotty is another who states
that he is still in the game and willing
to box at 1873 pounds, and from the
grave come the challenging voices of
Bill Huihui and Sailor Morch.

KE|O SCHEME
RECONSTRUCTED
Committee on Ways and Means
Appointed to Finance
Project.

At a meeting of the Honolulu Base
ball League held yesterday at the of
fees of Thompson & Clemens, the mo-
ton to drop the visit of the Keio Uni
versity nine was reconsidered. and it
was decided to again entertain the
proposition.
Messrs. Gleason and Steere were ap-
pointed committee on ways and means
in connection with the project
il was decided that league should en-
gage the services of a salaried press
agent, whose duties will be to boost the
league games in the local newspapers.
In this connection an extensive adver-
Using campaign is planned. The ball
played is of gilt-edged quality, but the
response of the public so far has not
been of a particularly encouraging ma
ture.
Present at the meeting were F. E.
Steere, Patrick Gleason, Chas. Falk,
Jose Wise and E. Fernandez.

MINOR LEAGUES
ARE SQUABBLlNG

Editor Advertiser: Having read your
editorial of the 9Th inst. on baseball in
minor leagues, would say, for benent
of minor leagues, to select league off1-
GERS who could act in good faith with
their different clubs. AS matter OF
fair play to the Kalihi A. c., that won
the final championship game of the
Valleysfde League at Aala Park some
time ago; | understand this game has
tn he plaved over again. Under what
grounds President Olmos ever allowed
protest is beyond reason coming
from a country where they play base
ball, also being ball player ana an
eyewitness at this game, L would state
the game was played with all FAIRNESS
to both sides. There We're no points
in favor of a protest. costly errors
were made by the losing team III
which the umpire's actions were os-
cisive. He used proper dlscretloh
when it was called for; no partlahty
whatever was shown. If PRESIDENT
Olmos or the Leilehuas could STATE
in what instance the K. A. c. violated
any rules of the game so that 1t Wouio
he sufficient grounds for a protest,
would willingly, through your coli
umns. answer for their benefit.
I have asked, but none of the boys
of the club seemed to know, on what
grounds the protest was ever accept
ed. The only satisfactory notlncatloh
they received was to play over again
on Sunday, and they certainly are true
sports who would willingly play II
over again to satisfy their losers, who
have everything to gain and nothihs
to lose. President Olmos particularly
stated to an officer of this club, after
his postponements of meetings, 1t
would be thrown out the grounds De-
ing insufficient. After a few more
post mortems he changed his declslon'
neither was there any reason gwen
or meeting ever held.
Whatever his object may be in mold
ing them in allegiance for such a length
of time. he being held in trust Oh
funds. it is a very evident fact that
the X. A. c. are not getting a square
deal.
Nv only object in question is that
protests are getting numerous now
and If it happened in final games for
as this last one is rank
est. they could certainly be very dis
to baseball in the minor
leagues The true sport of the game
is lost; the winning team, after put
ting up a hard battle, finding they
have only to play over again. 1t VIII
do good for minor leagues to elect
Officers that could do credit TO their
leagues. so that at some fu-
tuTe date games could be arranged for
championship of winners of each
league.
Wishing to remain ''incog." and
thanking you for space allowed, I re-
main, ENTH CSlAS1-

HIGHS PLAY
KAMS TODAY

The game of baseball which was to
have been played yesterday afternoon
between the High School and Kameha-
meha Schools was postponed until this
afternoon, when it will take place on
the Kams' grounds.
The reason for the postponement was
in order that both schools might at
tend the rehearsal of the Congress of
Song.
Both mines today will be practically
the same as in previous games of the
series though the Highs are expected
to shift their team about as usual in
hope of retrieving the mistakes of earl
Ter innings.
The kams are looking forward to de-
feating the Highs even more decisively
than did the Punahous a week ago.
The game is scheduled to commence
at $3.50.

SPOR : s
HORSEMEN
WANT PARK
Turtles Plan for a Big Days
Racing During Fleets
Visit.

The air is full of race talk these
days, and the chatter has probably
been stimulated by the issuance of the
Hilo and Maui programs.
1t is certain that large crowds will
go from here to both places for the
Fourth OF July racing. Hosc-Glu is not
likely TO have any races, save of a
match nature, until the arrival of the
fleet.
The proposition to arrange a good
program of races for some time in July
when the warships are here is steadily
gaining favor, and a letter will be writ
ten to the park commissioners today re-
questing the use of the track for one
day. The horsemen offer to put the
Kapiolani Park course in good shape
at their own expense, but are DESTROYS
of obtaining a license to sell liquor in
the park.
No admission will be charged to the
races, and the purses will be made up
by subscriptions from the local mer-
chants and business men. If $500 or
$1,000 can be hung up for purses, the
result would be that Hawaii and Maui
would send their racers here, and as
Honolulu has number of good runners
the fields should eclipse in point of
quality and quantity any that have
ever been sent away by a starter at the
Kapiolani Park track
If a liquor license be granted the
horsemen, tenders will be called for and
the privilege let to the highest bidder.
The money thus realised will go to swell
the prize fund. The Board of Liquor
Commissioners will be invited to have
the liquor dispensed under the superin-
tendence of their inspector.
There is no doubt that aeday's racing
would be greatly enjoyed by the men
of the fleet, and if barbecue or luau
under the ironwoods in the park could
be arranged the same day as the racing,
the day would surely linger in the mem
orv of the visitors as one of the pleas
ATTEST spent during the whole voyage
of the Pacific fleet

MATCHES MADE
AND TALKED OF

There will be match race between
f. H. Lewis Shamrock and NJ. J. Rod
rigues Duke at Kapiolani Park week
from next Saturday at ) p. m. The
distance will be half a mile.
Duke is a brown gelding which has
yet to win its first race.
Willie Beckley is anxious to make it
a three-cornered affair next Saturday
with Duke Spencer, Jr., which beat
Shamrock at three-eighths of a mile
last Saturday.
Rodrigues, however. doesn't want it
this way, but will accommodate Beck
ley on Saturday, june 6.
Another race talked of is quarter
of mile dash between Sure Shot,
Shamrock and Sunrise With these
three SIS there should be something
doing. If the race comes off, it will be
a sweepstakes of so much a corner.
