Possible Swap of
Duffy's Youngsters,

Portland. Me, Oct GA Lynn pa
per- contains the interesting rumor
that Jimmy Gray, the Lowell mana
ger, Is considering the purchase of the
Portland club of the New England
League, from Hugh Duffy
The Lynn paper says; although
Hugh Duffy, who is now in Boston,
says there is nothing doing right now,
the rumor will not down. 1t is very
well known fact that Jimmie Gray,
who piloted the Spindle city team to
championship. last season. is eager
to get away from Lowell. The attend
ance at the games in that city has not
made hit with the Beau Brummel of
the New England League, while the
attendance at the games in Portland
has been big thorn in his side. With
championship team at Portland,
Gray is sure that the fans would turn
out as they never did before in any
New England League city.
Gray. it has been reported recently
Is anxious to sell his holdings in the
Lowell club. while Duffy is ready to
sell his franchise any time he is Of
fered the right price.
ssIt is only q rumor. however, that
Gray may 60 TO Portland"
An effort has been made to get hold

BOSTON & MAINE SWAPS.
Physical Separation from New Haven
Office Now in South Station.

Boston, Oct. ga physical separa-
tion of the Boston & Maine Railroad
from the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad so far as executive
Offices is concerned, was accomplished
Saturday. when greater part Of the
Office force of the former Road return
ed to the North station, after year
and half at the South station.
The Boston & Maine offices including
those of the President and other offi-
cials, were transferred to the South
station after Charles Mellen was made
president of the Road. 1t was stated
, at the time that the transfer was
made in the interest of economy and
with view to combining both proper
ties under as few heads as possible.
Since the report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission with recon-
mendations against interlocking direc-
tors the two roads have been drifting
apart and the movement, Saturday,
! was the breaking of an important
link between the two companies.

CURRENCY RECONSTRUCTION.
Continued from Page One.)

IF variation of rate as provided in the
House bill was sound banking in July
how does it happen that uniformity OF
rate in the Vanderbilt scheme is sound
banking in October?''
In his letter TO me last July, Mr..
Vanderlip accentuated the utter unde-
STABILITY, in his view of any radical
departure from the existing national
bank act, and warned the House COM
mittee that unless legislation shoold
De made attractive to the national
banks, they would quickly abandon
the system. He was against Doing
violence to long established methods;
he repeated substantially the outery of
the bankers against the Force bill
and against the .Confiscatory' clause
of the House measure, contending that
the owners of banking capital should
Manage their own property and pre-
dieting TO the failure if the House
scheme should not be made more .Ad-
vantageouS to the banks.
Now Mr.. Vanderlip comes with a CEN
trail bank scheme embodying every one
of these objeetional features. If nation
al banks will leave the system under the
House bill, how can they be expected
to remain in under Vanderlip's OF com
pulsion' and confscation' and political
eontrol?' Has Mr.. Vanderlip forgotten
the tremendous protest of the bankers,
big and little. at Chicago recently and at
Boston later and in 'spublic addresses
throughout the country, against the
power lodged by the House bill with
the President of the United States and
with the federal reserve board over the
banking business of the country? The
House bill maintains the integrity of
our Independent banking system, co-or-
dinating it and using all of its strength
in time of stress, while Mr. Nanderlip' s
position simply destroys it.

| the institution of that state, and will
| bring home recommendations.
The law by which the board was
created gives, perhaps, a more lavish
hand to them than is at first thought,
and provides as follows:
The act provides that the board
shall investigate and inspect the
whole system of public charities and
correctional institutions in the State
and the work of any department of
the same, examine into the condition
and management of all prisons, jails,
reform schools, industrial schools of
a charitable or correctional nature,
ehilGren's homes. hospitals, sanitori
ums almshouses, orphanages, hospi-
tails for the insane, schools or homes
for the feeble minded, and any and all
institutions of such nature which re-
rive their support wholly or in part
from a State, county or municipal ap-
preparation, but not including an in
stitution of a purely educational or
industrial nature.
It would seem according to the law
that the board had quite lot of work
mapped out for it. The law carries
an appropriation of $2500 which shall
be used for clerical assistance and
travelling expenses. The members of
the board shall receive no salary and
the salary of the secretary shall be
determined by the Governor and
Council.
The members of the board are Rob
ert Treat Whitehouse of Portland,
John Wilson of Bangor, John E. Lig-
gett, Rev. Thomas j. Nelligan of Au-
eusta and Mrs. Grace A. Wing OF

The last shred binding Gen. Felix
Diaz and Gen. Victoriano Huerta was
severed, today, when Gen Diaz tele-
graphed to the department of war his
resignation as brigadier general of the
army. The negotiations regarding his re-
turn to Tthe capital on invitation of the
provisional President ended by his hat
refusal to accompany Colonel Vidaurra-
zaga, secretary to Gen. Banquet, war
minister, giving as his reason the illness
of his wife. Colonel Vidaurrazaga con-

change his decision, but finally left for
the capital on a special train. tonight
Diaz and his family remained here.
Gen. Diaz expresses the belief that no
doubt the war department will grant his
application for retirement, although few

possibility that the answer may come
in the form of an order of arrest. Cen

well together and apparently fresh al
the finish, the Princeton crew won
from Yale here, Saturday afternoon
on Lake Carnegie by a short two
lengths.
The race was slow in starting, due
to the length of the Dartmouth game
and the big crowd which lined both
banks of the last quarter mile of the
course grew impatient waiting.
The Yale crew iowed up to the
starting point first. closely followed by
Princeton. At about ass the starting
gun sent the two shells from the line
the Orange and Black a little in the
lead because of a quicker and cleaner
start. This lead was increased to
about three quarters of length at the
half mile.
The final times of the respective
crews for the one ard five-eighths OF
a mile course were, Princeton, 9m

pressed himself as well pleased with
the showing made by his pupils. He

distance, but they worked smoothly
