PRESIDENT GIVES HIS ENDORSE

SEES BENEFIT TO ALL THE PEOPLE
Nations Executive Says Wage Farmers
and Farmers Are as Much Inter
ested in Money Question as
Men of Finance.

New York City.-President Taft,
addressing the members of the New
York State Bankers association at a
at Manhattan Beach, gave his
endorsement to the National Re-
serve association plan proposed by
ex-senator Aldrich, chairman of the
monetary commission. He pointed
out that it was the unanimous opinion
of authorities that the existing bank.
ing and currency system of the Uni
ted States was absolutely inadequate
to the needs of a great and growing
commercial nation and that drastic re-
forms were necessary. One of the
great difficulties OF the present sys-
TEN, he said, was making the money
in circulation correspond to the actual
and conservative needs of trade.
These difficulties and others, the pres
ident said, would be minimized and
done away with were central bank
established In all we'll regulated
banking and currency systems of the
old world, he said, the power to con-
troll cash reserves and the issue of
bank notes to be used as currency is
placed under the control of a central
bank, recognized by the government.
"In this way" he continued, "the mon
etary eXigencies presented by domes-
tic and foreign trade in the rising and
falling demand for currency and in
the facilitating of the exchange and
liquidation of commercial credits are
promptly met.
1T is the only method by which the
popular will of a majority of 15,000,-
600 voters can be interpreted and en-
bodied in statutes and executive poll
cies. The wage Garner is quite as
much interested in the proper opera
tion of sound currency and banking
system as are the bankers themselves
and that any plan which will lead to
the adjustment of the cash reserves
to avoid the stringencies and exigen-
cies of a threatened panic will inure
chiefly to the benefit of those inter-
ested in the continuation of our great
industries, manufactures and busi-
ness and especially in the mainte.

Similarly, the farmers have most
intimate interest in the plan which
shall secure for the middleman at a
reasonable rate of interest funds with
which to move the crops and with
which to pay adequate prices for that
which the farmer has to sell. The
demand for money which arises every
season for crop moving causes fire.

BASE BALL MAGNATES
GATHER IN NEW YORK
Advance Guard of the Ameri-
can and National Leagues
Already in Gotham.

NEW YORK, December 9.-Enough
base ball men were on hand today to
start several informal conferences IN
preparation for the meetings of the two
big leagues and the national commission
mere the first three days of next week.
The minor league situation, changes in
the world series pans, syndicate base
oall, the New York world : series ticket
principal topics to be considered. Rumors
that the National League meeting would
produce a lively fight to unseat President
Lynch have quoted. and the outlook is
that Mr.. Lynch will be reelected with
ont serious opposition y proposition TO
iengthen mis- term mas been OPPOSED ~
lynch. who says that he proposes to
meet the issue of whether his admins
fratlon has been satisfactory at the end
OF each season.
President Garry Hermann of the Gin
cinnau Grub, chairman or the national
commission. and President Lynch of tue
National League are here now and
President Johnson of the American
League, the thiru member of the COM
MISSION, is expected tomorrow.
AT their meeting Monday this trium-
virate will consider NOTIFICATIONS in the
charter with representatives OF the three
minor leagues, the national board of arb-
t.ation and the National Association.
Changes contemplated are. revision of
the draft price and rights of class AA
leagues on circuits of lower rating. en-
forcement of strict roster limit for
major league clubs, and limiting the
drafting and urchasing Of players.
1T is said that Ban Johnson will bring
to the commissions NEE ling a PROPOSE

worlds series sames to the general price

son also is the principal advocate of be-
shining the worlds championship battle
next year as early as October 4
If the question of syndicate base ball
really comes to an issue Il sharp division
of opinion is expected. At present the
American League does not permit owner
ship of stock by the same individual in
more than one club. An effort TO have
this rule adopted by the National Lea sue
failed last year by a narrow margin, and
it is said that the same men who defeated
it then stand ready to fight it again.
Before the masnates leave New York
it is probable that the future ownership
of the Boston National club will be set
tied. There are several bidders for the
franchise already in town.

INDOOR BASE BALL
Will Be Started Tonight in City

Base ball fans will have their first OPP
portunity tonight of witnessing base ball
as it is played indoors when teams repre-
resenting Ingram Memorial Church and
y. NJ. G. A. clash in the formers syuna-
SUM. at 10th and Massachusetts avenue
northeast, at $50 o'clock.
Indoor base ball has not been fostered
in this city for more than eleven years,
and it is' wholly due to the untiring eff
forts of Harry V. Shurtleff that the sport
is being revived again, and it is also due
to his efforts that the City League, under
whose auspices tonight's game is being
PLAYED, was organized.
The teams that are scheduled TO meet
tonight have been practicng hard for
the past couple of weeks, and although
the relative strength of the two outfits is
not known. il is expected the game will
be good one.
