south May GET
SECOND PLACE

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-The Repub-
lican party should choose as its can
didate for the Vice-Presidency a man
of the South, say members of that
party in Chicago. The selection of
Southern man for the Vice-Presi-
Dental nomination by the Republican
party would forbe, it was declared,
the last remaining link that is to
bind the sections into a united
country, politically, as time and a
foreign war have bound them in pa
triotism and brotherly feeling.
They turned to the records of the
Southern Presidential vote of four
and eight years ago, when Parker ran
in 1904 and Bryan in 1900-and
found in the figures much to support
the contention that now is the time
for the Republicans to pay the South
this we'll deserved tribute, and rec
ognize that sections claims to a
place on the national ticket.
They pointed out that Bryan, iudg-
ing from the comparative figures of
1900 and 1904, is not so popular in
the South as his leading supporters
would like the public to believe. This
point, said politicians, is worth con-
sidering at time when Bryan SEEM
ingly is assured of his partys NOM
ination for President

VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb 21.-
Chief Justice Hunter today directed
that two Japanese, not at Westmin-
ster Jail for violating a recently pass

be Immediately discharged from Gus

The Mackenzie meeting on Thurs
day night did not meet yith the en-
thusiasm that was predicted for it
in the way of convincing the deposit
tors that they should sign the agree
ment, and behold as their savior,
Dollar for Dollar Mackenzie Calm
discussion of the matter yesterday
failed to reveal where Mr. Macken-
zie was making good his promises
that the depositors were to get dol
lar for dollar AS far as the prom
ises held out at the meeting it was
revealed that the depositors were
going to get ten cents for the dol
lar.
The most prominent of the deposit
tors want either a receiver or some
one placed in authority in the af-
fairs of the bank who will protect
their interests further than giving
them back ten cents on the dollar A
banker in this city yesterday showed
where the plan as outlined by Shaw
and Platt would be very dangerous
one to follow. Without questioning
the integrity of Mr.. Mackenzie or the
men who are behind him. it is point
| ed out what might happen if the men
! in charge were so disposed.
Mr.. Mackenzie takes no chances in
putting up his collateral of $780,
900. He promises to guarantee that
the depositOrs will receive ten per
cent of their money in ninety days
further than that he will promise
nothing. 1t would be a very easy
matter to make good that promise.
for all that would be necessary to
do would be to sell one-tenth of the
banks securities, or enough of them
to pay the required amount. After
that, Mr.. Mackenzie could draw
down his collateral, and then he
would be in possession of the bank.
by virtue of being the owner of the
capital stock. That would be great
stroke of finance.
But there is other things that a
man placed like Mackenzie could do.
The bank might order big block OF
certain stock sold on a certain day.
Just before this, somebody. KNOWN :
of this could short this same stock,
and what would the result be when
the banks securities were dumped
on the market? 1t would send that
particular stock down in the list
Men who had the same sort of securi-
ties up in other banks would be
forced to put up more money, or they
would be sold out Men all over the

holy profit.

MARKET WAS
VERY SLUGGISH
(By Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The days
operations in stocks were almost en-
tirely confined to the customary clos
ing up of contracts by professional
operators on the eve of holiday.
The bearish sentiment which pre-
vailed among the speculative element
was revealed by the predominance OF
short contracts to be retired. Op-
posing traders were inclined to take
advantage of the necessities of the
shorts by bidding up prices and striv-
ing to take the market away from
their opponents. Bonds were irreg-
ular.

FIGHT WINNER
OF LEWIS BOUT
Man Who Got Decision Over
Bill Papke to Visit New
York.

NEW YORK, June Jim Coffroth,
the San Francisco fight promoter. will
arrive in New York today with Stanley
Ketchel. the new middieweight cham
pion of the world. Ketchel will be ac-
companied by his manager, and Coff-

Ketchel will remain in New York until
next Tuesday night, when he will be
at the ringside of the National Ath-
letic Club, East Twenty-fourth street,
to see the fight between Harry Lewis
and Willie Lewis. 1t Is likely that he
will be engaged to meet the winner of
that match In a six-round contest at
the National Club.
"Ketchel is growing fast, and he
wants to meet all the light men he
can" wrote Coffroth to Manager Har-
vey, of the National Club. AT the
rate he Is going Ketchel will soon be bis
enough to meet Burns, and he says he
doesn't mind taking any of the East
ern men on in short-distance contests
because he wants to get all the money
he can. He thinks they are easy
picking"
Abe Atteli will also be at the ring
side on Tuesday night to make a mattel
with Charles Griffin, the Australian
champion. They will probably appea,
at the National Club on June %.

History repeated itself when Jerome
D. Travers, of Montclair, the title
holder, and Max Behr, of Morris Coun-
ty, won their way to the final round of
the New Jersey State Golf Association
championship tournament, at the En-
glewood Golf Club, yesterday. These
two were the finalists in the same
competition q year g at Baltusrol
when Mr.. Travers won by a comforta-
BILE margin.
The best golf of the day was fur
nished by Mr.. Travers in his second
round match against W. W. Pell, of
Canoe Brook. Although an exception
ally long driver, Pell has yet to get
his second shot under control, and
against a man like Mr.. Travers this
weakness, of course, told against him.
Going out the national champion made
but two mistakes, when he attempted
to carry the bunker going to the long
sixth hole-and a pulled drive--to the
ninth,
In spite of this Mr.. Travers reached
the turn in 3S, and eventually he won
by s up and Z to play. Finishing gu the
bye holes Mr.. Travers continued to
travel like a real champion, and. with
the aid of a two at the short fifteenth,
he came back in SO, giving a total for a

Best Athletes in the East to
Compete at Philadelphia
This Afternoon.

team, which consists OF such men as
Hillman, Sheppard, McGrath, Sheridan,
Flanagan and Ewry.
The meet will be the first introduc-
ton into this city OF the foreign dis
tances in the races, and will include
many new and interesting features.
The events are all measured by metres
Instead of yards. The sprints are 10O
and 200 meters, approximately 100 and
21S yards. Then there is the 400. the
800 and the 1.500 meter races the Ito
and 400 meter hurdles. the fve-mile
race and the two-mile steeplechase.
There will be both standing and run
ming high and broad jumping. shot
putting, hammer throwing and pole
Yaulting. The most unique event will
be javelin throwing, one Of the regu-
lar events in the Olympian games
schedule, and the throwing OF the dis
Gus in the Greek style.
The best races of h day promise to
be In the sprints, when Rector, of Vir-
ginia; Ramsdell. of Texas; Cartmell
and Whitman, of Pennsylvania, will
meet. The two last named can regu-
larly do 10 seconds. Ramsdell has
lone 9 40, while Rector was once given
credit for 9 2-5 seconds.
For the last three years athletic man
ayers have tried to get Hillman, the
club quarter-mile champion, and Tay-
lor, the college champion, to meet each
other at this distance; they are both
entered today and should put up a
great race. Both of them will ave TO
be at their best, as some other men in
the race are very high-class perform
ers.
The program for the field events is a
very long one. consisting of standing
and running high jumps, standing and
running broad jumps. pole-vault, ham
mer-throw, discus, free style; discus,
Greek style, and the hop. step and jump
and throwing the javelin. For the
benefit of those desiring to see this lat
ter event it should be stated that it will
start at 2 O'Clock. so that the event
may be concluded before any of the
other field events begin. This is a
game which is not practised much in
this country. but which is very much
in vogue in Greece and all the southern
European countries. Sheridan, the
great all-round champion; Talbot. Cor
nel's great weight throWer. and other
w~ell-known athletes VIII compete In
this event. To constitute a throw the
javelin must hit the ground with the
point in the earth. 1t Is said that
Sheridan will beat the record in this
event by some twenty or thirty feet.
