FORGOTTEN
MILLIONS
BANKS KEEP DEPOSITS QUILT
Shall They Go to Observation-Disclosures
Would Thus Get Funds and Cut
Down Taxation.

LONDON, Aug 1.-Two hundred
and fifty million dollars of unclaimed
deposits in the Golfers of banks! Such
was the amazing total arrived at a few
years ago by the Edinburgh Mer-
chants company, which petitioned
parliament with the same object as a
bill recently introduced into the house
of commons-that all such balances
shall be conficated by the state.
Whether the estimate is fairly ac-
curate it is impossible to say, because
bankers make no returns of unclaim-
ed funds in their possession, and re-
fuse to give any information on the
subject. But banks unquestionably
hold enormous sums for which no
owners are forthcoming.
An indirect proof of this is that
savings banks, which are obliged to
publish their accounts, invariably ac-
knowledge having some dormant and
unclaimed balances. Only a few
months since, one made a special eff
fort to discover the owners of a num-
Der of such accounts; but, though it
found the people entitled to $25,S50,
it was unable to trace the owners of
deposits aggregating $25,620.
Some Orphaned Thousands.
Further evidence to the same pur-
port is supplied on the occasion of a
bank failure. When the Western
Bank of Scotland went into liquida-
ton, many balances We're unclaimed
and twenty years afterwards, there
remained ownerless $52,940. In con-
nection with the liquidation of the
City of Glasgow bank, again, no
claims were lodged in respect of
$27O,615; and, though subsequently
some of the money was claimed, the
Assets company not long since had
ers could not be found.
Look, too, at the special manner in
which the "Old Lady of Threadneedle
Street" reals with dormant balances
of long standing. She invests them,
and the interest which accrues is suf-
ficient to pension the widows of her
deceased clerks.
BESIDES Such testimony as this,
there are many isolated incidents
which go to show that, if banks were
made to disgorge the money to which
they have no right, the ever tightening
grip of taxation might be promptly re-
Taxed.

Hollywood Scores Three Touch Downs

Hollywood, te; oxy Props, 10

The score, 16 to 10, in favor of Hol-
lywood, only half tells the story of a
ard-fought game on the Hollywood
grounds Saturday afternoon. Occiden-
tai received the ball on the 25-yard line,
pushed it to the 30-yard line on the
first down, but lost the ball back of the
line on the second down on a tumble.
the ball being caught by Hollywood
and carried to the goal for the first
touchdown, within two minutes after
the play started. Hollywood failed to
kick a goal, and Occidental kicked off.
From this time till almost the end of
the half, the ball was worked back
and forth, both sides in turn losing
the ball on downs. Within two minutes
of the end of the half, however, Hol-
lywood made a second touchdown,
using an end run, but again failed to
kick the goal.
The second half had scarcely ended
when Taylor of Hollywood again car
ried the ball to the goal around the
end, and this time the ball sailed be-
tween the goal posts, making the score
16 to 0. for Hollywood. 1t was their
last score, however, for from this time
on the game was all in favor of Occi-
dental The Presbyterians made two
touchdowns in about six minutes, sam
McClung, the quarter, in each case
making the scoring run, once distance
of 35 yards over the goal, and in the
other instance from 25 yards to within
eighteen inches of the white line, from
which place the ball was bucked over
the line in a single effort, almost with
out resistance. 1t seemed as though
Occidental could certainly have crossed
the line a third time, had the time
been even a few minutes longer, so
great was the improvement In their
playing. The game ended with the ball
in possession of Occidental, on their op-
ponent's 35-yard line.
Both Teams in Form
There was remarkable work on both
sides-for Hollywood, by Taylor, left
half, who is a marvel at the game, and
a master of football. The whole team
depended on him, giving him the i'm
portant work to do, and supporting
him in, every way. Church, right half
for Occidental. and new in the back
field. who played end last year, did
much heady work. He invariably picked
the right places in the line for gains
up to 10 and ~ yards, which he made
on five or six occasions. To Sam Nc
Clung, however, belongs the greater
credit, a new man in the game this
year. and in the responsible position
of quarterback in the first game of the
season. he used his brains in every
play. He was always in place to re-
ceive the punts in the backfield, and
tackled fearlessly and successfully
every man whom he had any chance
of reaching.

POMONA ENTHUSIASTS HOLD
MONSTER FOOTBALL RALLY
Varsity Team Is Showing Up in Great

Especial to The Herald.1

CLAREMONT, Oct. 2.--As a result of
the fine way in which the varsity foot
ball team is showing up, a new bottle or
Pomona spirit was uncorked last night
in the first football rally of the season,
held at Smiley hall All the yells and
songs were rehearsed and several en-
thusiastic speeches made, all of which
tended to show that the students ex-
pected the best season ever.
The practice of the week has made
several changes in the prospective line
up. The appearance of Crawford, the
giant guard, has filed up one hole, and
Kepner, who played tackle last year,
has been put in as the other guard.
HentscEke, who has formerly been
played at guard on account of his SUI
perior aggressiVeness, has been put in
at tackle, and will balance up the line
with Capt. Fuller. Gillette, who has
been touted as center, has been dis
placed by A. r. Davis, a new man but
very strong and husky, and who is
picking UP the fine points of the game
yery quickly. In the backfield Seward
has been doing finely at full, but will
nrobabIy have to hustle when Fresh
man Miller gets into the game. Parker
still seems sure of one half and Shut
of quarter, but the other half is still in
doubt. Carver, the most likely candi-
date, has been out of the game this
week with a sore knee, and his place
has been taken by Neuls, who is really
too light for half and has been trying
out for quarter
Coach Stanton has not as yet given
out the lineup for the game with the
Azusa Athletic club Monday afternoon,
but it will probably be decided after
the game between the varsity and the
subs this afternoon.

BASKETBALL OPENS
WITH POLY VICTORY
Initial Game of Season at South Pasa-
dena Courts Ends in Defeat of
Grown City Aggre.
cation

The initial basketball game of the
season was played yesterday afternoon
on the South Pasadena court where the
quintet from Polytechnic defeated the
five from Pasadena by the score of
26 to II. A heavy downpour lasted
throughout the game, which put the
court in bad condition and made it i'm
possible for either of the teams to show
up their real form.
Polytechnic started out with rush,
scoring the first two baskets before the
home team had begun play. Had this
pace been kept up, the Pasadena boys
would have had no show whatsoever,
but scarcely had the game commenced
when it started to pour The court be-
came very slippery and the players had
all they could do to keep on their feet.
During the first half the visitors played
all around their opponents, the score at
that time ending IA to Z.
The second half was much worse.
The rain came in torrents and the
bleachers were vacated. In this half
the visitors displayed superior team
work, and give promise of keeping the
pace set by the last year team from
Polytechnic. Art Record, captain and
last years star. played an excellent
game, and with the assistance of Pot
ter and Ben Ward ran the score past
the quarter century mark. The team
work of the home team was fast, but
their forwards were poor at throwing
baskets. Greppin and Hubbard played
a fast game at guard, while the work of
Foster for the home team was excel
lent.
Record and Potter will probably play
the forward positions for the coming
season, while Fox, Greppin and Hub
bard will be the guards. Ben Ward, at
center is a very valuable man, and
will make one of the best in high school
circles. He is Polys star high jumper,
and. with his height combined, he is
hard to beat owing to the fact that

POLY'S RUGBY TEAM
WINS BY SHUTOUT
Muddy Field Presents Fast Plays.
Two Trys Scored and One Is
ConVerted-Henrichse
Plays Game

Polytechnic high school won her
first game of the season yesterday on
Bovard field, where she shut out the
Santa Barbara Rugby aggregation by
the score of to 0. Owing to the wet
condition of the field, no very fast
plays were made. and the Mechanics
by slow gains were able to put the
ball over the opposing line twice and
convert one try.
In the first half of the battle Ned
Manning was able to carry the ball
over the line on a five-yard serum,
but the try was not converted. In
the second half of the game Captain
RED" Henrichsen, one of the Poly's
star men of last year, took the pig
skin over the northerner's line and, a
moment later, converted the only try
of the day. This was the last score
of the contest.
The poor condition of the field pre-
vented any fast playing and failed to
give the teams an opportunity to show
what they could do. The ball was in
a muddy condition and the players had
a hard time to get it in fast plays.
The locals feel confident that had the
field been in first class shape that they
could have rolled up a larger score
against the visiting northerners.
At o'clock the Santa Barbara ag-
gregation was escorted to the Poly
technc gymnasium, where a banquet
was given in their honor. After the
dinner a dance was given in the gym,
and a large crowd of Poly girls showed
the visitors that their school could
boast hospitality as well as play foot
ball.
