MONEY is STILL HIGH.
Call Loans Again Reach IL Per Cent
on Wall Street.

New York Nov. 26.-Another sudden
advance in call money, or day-to-day
loans, to 12 per cent, equaling yester-
days high rate, and not attained since
the early part of 1910, was responsible
for further unsettlement in the stock
market today. Several Influences were
responsible for this stringency, includ-
ing the fact that the clearing house
banks have already lost $1,000, 900 to the
sub-treasury since last Friday, which
threatens a deficit in the excess reserve
at the end of the week.
1t was reported in the financial dis
trict that the treasury department at
Washington would again be appealed to
for assistance. In addition to the losses
of the banks to the sub-treasury, there
have been heavy direct shipments of
cash by these same institutions to the
Pacific coast and other agricultural
centers, chiefly to facilitate movement
of crops.
Loans were again called during the
early market session, but this action
was limited to several of the banks in
the clearing house which last week
showed some Impairment of their legal
reserve.

BLRMES MURPHY NO CURE FOR SHINE
Chicago Writer Tells Inside of
FOgel Case.
Chicago Man Morally ReSpOn-
SibIe for 1t.

Chicago, Nov 26.-Under the caption,
''The Story of the Story Fogel Wrote" "
W. S. F'orman, sporting editor of the
Chicago Evening Post, in a signed
statement today, charges Charles w.
Murphy, president of the Chicago Ma
tionaI League club, with being the in
stigator of "the story which resulted
in charges preferred against Fogel.
Mr. Forman is in New York prepared
to testify before the league meeting.
The Fogel STORY" attacking President
Lynch and his umpire system, recently
appeared in the Post. Regarding it, Mr..
Forman says:
Charles W. Murphy authorized me
to tell Fogel that Murphy had suggest
ed writing the story. On this represen-
tation, Fogel wrote it and signed it. He
sent it to Murphy, who read it before
I ever saw it.
''It came to me from Murphy's office
and if Murphy had not approved that
story, it never would have been pub
lished. The man who is morally re-
sponsible for that article and the
charges it contained is Murphy himself,
and I have FogePs own word for it
that he wrote it simply to help Murphy
fight his battles in the National
league''

the Hodges people will probably lay
aside their Leavenworth claim and the
Capper attorneys will not press their
Morris county suit. That would leave
Hodges 81 votes ahead.
If the attorneys cannot agree on
this plan, it is claimed that Capper
will bring additional mandamus pro-
ceedings to sustain alleged gains in
several other counties. The Hodges
attorneys would also look for a few
extra votes. Neither side is inclined
to discuss the probable gains by pro-
longing the litigation. The restraining

still operative and the supreme court
will not permit them to issue a certi-
ficate or to adjourn sine die uneiI the

This Amount Is for Track
Maintenance Only.
MILLION TIES ARE Laid
Cost of New Rails Amounted to
More Than S5OO,OOO.
Yearly Report to Break All
Records in Kansas.

The most money ever spent in Kan
sas by one railroad in track mainten-
ance in one year is the record which
will be shown by the Santa Fe when
the work this month is completed and
when the appropriations are reported
from the Office of C. w. Kouns, general
manager in this city. In the last
working season the Santa Fe has spent
three million dollars in the upkeep and
Improvement of it's roadbed in this
state. OF this amount more than one
million dollars has been spent for ties
alone.
The report which will be complete in
the Topeka general offices covers the
Kansas roadbed east of Newton and
Wellington or 1900 miles of the total
Santa Fe mileage of 2,700 in this state.
1t is anticipated by general officers Oh
the road here that an equal amount
has been spent by the western division
in this state comprising a mileage OF
nearly 1,100 in the western sectlonS OF
Kansas.
The three millions spent this season
does not include the improvements at
terminals, the new station buildings, the
office and shop buildings and the work
on equipment and in the operation OF
trains. 1t includes only the actual
expense of caring for and placing In
tracks in this state. New steel, ballast,
ties and the renewal of ballast are the
only items comprising the cause for
this enormous expense
Nearly a Million in Rails.
From the records gathered in the Of
fee of the general manager in To-
peka it is found that more than 600,-
600 treated pine ties have been laid in
Kansas soil this year. This includes
only the territory of 1,S00 miles east
of Newton and Wellington. In the en-
tire state it is estimated that at least
one million ties have been placed under
the rails These ties cost, with the
tie plates, $1.25 each. In the eastern
section alone it be be seen that $780,
600 has been expended for rail sup
ports.
In this 1900 mile divisions 100000
has been spent for new steel rails. 1t
costs on an average of $4,000 a mile
to lay new rails. Ninety miles of Santa
Fe tracks have been renewed with
heavier steel. This includes 81 miles
between Topeka and Scranton, 25 miles
between Turner and Claire, 80 miles be-
tween Augusta and Winfield, 10 miles
between Newton and Walton, and 10
miles between Florence and Clements.
Probably 100 miles of ballast has
been renewed in the last season. 1t
costs on an average of 81 500 a mile
to make this improvement. This means
that $150,000 has been spent for ballast
alone in this part of the state.
All these figures can be doubled for
the work in the western sections.
Scores of items have not been record
ed More work is in sight. But it
is estimated conservedly that the
maintenance charges this year will
amount to more than $3,000,000.

sociation, near the close of the morn
ing session today, adopted resolutions
commencing President Taft for ap-
tional Children's bureau; went on rec
ord as favoring arbitration among the
nations to prevent war, and declared
against traffic in women.
The mention of the name of the presi-
dent brought applause, and when it
subsided, a delegate ,-sked whether it
was necessary to incorporate Mr.. Taft's
name in the resolution. Dr. Anna H
Shaw, the presiding officer, amid more
applause, said it was, because Mr. Taft
had removed the office from politics by
choosing a woman without political in
f1uence. DR.. Shaw added that former
President Roosevelt had promised to
make such an appointment but had
failed to do so.
The resolution on the traffic of wom-
en-, as originally presented, contained
the words, white slav ;" but objection
was made and theJ We're stricken out.

taken, remarked: There are brown and
