JOH0NSON SAYS
TO MANUEL \,

London. Aug. 25.-"Glad to see you
King" said Jack Johnson yesterday af-

ex-Kings Manuel of Portugal in his
huge gloved championship fist.
The meeting between the exiled

place al Earrs Court, where Johnson is
to fight Bombardier Wells. a great
crowd surged about the champion whe N
he appeared. Elk King Manuel pushed
through the throng with an aid-ede-
camp and introduced himself
The crowd cheered when the mighty
and the fallen shook hands and ex-
changed greetings. Manuel told John
son he was glad to meet him and would
be on hand to witness his fight with
Wells.

Brooklyn. n. Y, Aug. est was the
toughest beating of the whole trip that
the struggling Cubs took yesterday.
After being in the lead four distinct
times they succumbed to those pesky
Trolley Dodgers in the tenth inning.
The final score was to >.
While the game was won in a most
spectacular manner by Brooklyn, and
set about $500 fans mad with joy. it
was a heart breaking defeat for Chi
cago, for it seemed they had the game
won so many times. Finally, with the
score tied after eight rounds. the Cubs
rallied and got one in the ninth, only
to have Brooklyn tie it up again. Then
in the tenth. after two were dead the
Cubs came TO life again and got run,
and this seemed sure to be the winning
one. But Brooklyn made spectacular
finish.

The White Sox were good enough
yesterday to give the New York
Yankees handicap of two runs in the
first inning and beat them to the finish
by to and half an inning. although
the enemy hit Big Ed Walsh harder
than he has been touched for many
days.
Opposed to Walsh was shorty Quinn
also of aquatic leaning in his delivery
and the Sox mauled his moist pitching
some harder than the Yankees did
Walsh's. In addition, the visitors field
ing resembled colander at times. and
several of our runs, slipped through
Aside from the first and third innings
the Sox backed up Walsh with precision
and dashing certainty. The big fellow
twice saved himself a lot of trouble by
catching runners mapping OFF first base.
But for those two feats the Yankees
surely would have won the game. Harry
Lord came to Walshs rescue in the
sixth inning, when they were hittin e
him hardest. knocking down one hit
and stabbing another for a double play,
the home captain stopped the rally and
retired the side almost unaided.

OUR RICH OLD UNCLE

Now So Loaded Down With
Billions in Hard Cash as
to Pass All Competition
Uncle Sam has more gold in
his possession today than he
has ever had before in his life.
Treasurer Lee McClung looked
over his balance sheet this af-
ternoon and found the govern
ment had over $1,000 900
in gold coin, to say nothing of
$126, 900, 900 in bullion. Never
before in the history of the
government. according to the
New York Globe, has it had so
much gold piled up in its cof-
fers.
Not only is this a record
breaking amount for the gov
eminent to have, but there is
more gold in the treasury now
than in the vaults of Great
Britain and France combined,
Or of Great Britain and Russia
combined. In other words. this
government has more gold, in
gold coin and bullion, than any
other two nations.
This vast go den hoard repre-
sents the accumulation of a
long series OF years. 1t is not
sscribed to any particular finan-
cial development Of recent &C.
currence. BY no means all this
gold and bullion is stored in
Washington. Any burglarious
gentleman who thinks he can
-unnel under the treasury and
ind all this gold in that institu-
ton some dark night is in
error. The gold is partly in
the vaults of the treasury in
Washington, some of it is in
he vaults OF the subtreasuries,
and some of 1T in the minis of
Philadelphia and Denver. AS
matter of fact, the greater
part of it is at the two minis
named.
About $685., 100000 of the
sotal coin is held in trust to re-
leem outstanding gold certifi
Gates. 1t is expected Congress
will put through legislation
this session to enable the treas
ary to issue gold certificates
against the gold bullion in the
proportion Of three to two
That is, for 5000 in bullion il
would be possible to issue $500
IN gol certificates against the
bullion. This would lessen the
amount of mintage necessary.
Three years ago the govern
ment transferred $275, 100000
in gold coin from San Francisco
10 Denver That task was &C.
complished at a cost of $685.

But the chest of Germany is

Sans hoard of god. Never
before in the history of the
world was there anything like
lit.
If all the gold coin and gold
bullion of the government were
converted into 500 gold pieces
and laid on the ground side by
side they would form a string
IF gold reaching almost half
across the United States. The
string of gold would reach from
New York to Chicago and a
good distance beyond. At the
same time all this gold could be
housed in one room of dimen-
sions not very great. 1t could
easily be put into a room so
feet long. 20 feet wide and 20
feet high. This would leave
considerable space tospare.

One of the most peculiar laws

interest of some three families

of some $4,000 citizens, over
four fifths of the people are
either named one or the other
of these names, and the govern.

without the intersession of a
