Stripped of details and of its regu-

special immunities and privileges upon
certain defined associations, engaged
in the ordinary business Of loaning

by naming the preferred class building

mainly in Texas through the agitation
of the subject OF the uses and value Of
silos by enterprising lumbermen whose
association literature has kept the
subject impressed on their minds. The
agricultural college has done much
through the Inauguration Of a silo
building campaign. ~
In view OF the results obtained dur.
ing the past year through the sale OF
Mississippi cattle on the markets, it
is thought that the consideration of
the silo and its economic value on
the farm are subjects well worthy the
attention of everyone directly or in.

and farming.

had number of practice matches,
and their play has been widely COM
mented upon.
Interest in the international matches
is intense wherever polo is played In
this country, and the Meadowbrook
club has erected stands capable OF
seating 10000 spectators. Clubmen
and social leaders from Philadelphia,
Newport, Boston, Washington, Maria
gansett Pier, Chicago and San Fran
cisco were on hand for the opening
of the matches today. That the inter
national contests have stirred up the
patriotic feelings Of the ordinary sport
loving individual as well as the polo
enthusiast Is evidenced by the fact
that accommodations were reserved
by the club for thousands Of general
admissions at 80 cents per head. The
private boxes, however, have sold for
from $50 to $3.50 for the entire series.
Polo is a very ancient game. It Is
not English, as many people think. 1t
is supposed to be Of Hindu origin. The
game was first suggested to British
officers in India by the Muniporees
and was introduced into England in
1870. Six years later James Gordon
Bennett introduced the game into
America and 1t has become one of the
chief delights of wealthy men through
out the world.
The first of the international matches
took place at Newport in 1886, when
the birmingham team, captained by
John Watson. won the cup. The cup,
the gift of the Westchester Polo Club,
was taken over to England, where it
remained until July s, 1909. Americas
first challenge for the cup was given
in 1900 by team captained by Foxhall
Keene. The Americans were unsuc-
cessful. In 1902 the Americans made
another unsuccessful attempt to re-
6uih LILO IAOphy.
But in 1909, twenty-three years after
the cup had been taken to Nottingham,
a Meadowbrook team, challenging with
the consent Of the Polo Association,
brought back the trophy. The team
was composed of Harry Payne Whit
ney, Lawrence Waterbury, J. M. Wa
terbury and Deveraux Milburn. In 1911
the same "Big Four" successfully de-
Tended the trophy against a challeng-
ing team from England. .t..
Ever since the matches in 1911 both
countries have been getting ready for
the series which began today. It is
estimated that the preparations have
cost total sum not far from $1,000
900. This money has been expended for
ponies, equipment, wages for innumer-
able stable helpers and grooms, the
building of grandstands, etc. Scores
of ponies were bought for the tryouts
and some of them cost as much as
$4,000 apiece. The big clubs belonging
to the Polo Association stood for the
expense on the American end. The
challenging team has been largely f.
nanced by the young Duke of West
minister, probably the most notable
patron of the sport in the entire world.
The international cup for which the
two teams are contesting is of silver.
encircled with the heads of ponies
rampant. The cup is three feet high
and was purchased by prominent
sportsmen on the eve Of the first
matches in 1885. The agreement
stipulates that the international con-
tests must be played according to the
rules of the country in which the
matches are held.

true Of many OF the small corporations

From the individual point OF view, the
main risk in this direction comes from

KALBFUS' REMOVAL
SUSTAINED BY COURT
Action Of the District Commissioner
Is Upheld in Decision by
Justice Barnard.

In upholding the removal from ONCE OF
Samuel T. Kalbfus, former member of the
board OF assistant assessors. by the Dis
trict Commissioners, Justice Barnard yes
terday denied the application Of Mr.. KaIb-
fus for a writ OF mandamus TO compel his
reinstatement
The Commissioners were acting within
their Jurisdiction when they removed Mr..
KaIbfus, according to the decision Of the
court. whose opinion Is summed up as
follows:
THE cases for mandamus have become
so numerous in this jurisdiction and the
law so well settled that 1t seems unneces-
sary 70 point out authorities to sustain
the conclusion that. where executive on
ers have power and discretion to act,
their decisions, right or wrong, cannot
be changed by the court or reviewed by
proceedings for mandamus. I ind that
this case Is one that comes within that
well-established rule. and that said order
Of removal is not void, because it Is made
by a tribunal vested with jurisdiction and
discretion II follows that the mandamus
must be denied and the petition dIs-
missed"
Counsel for Mr.. KaIhfus declared yes-

NEW HAvENs ACT APPROVED.
Representative stevens Discusses
Dividend Passing.

That the passing of the annual divi-
dend by the New Haven Railroad system
would be more advantageous than detri-
mental to the stockholders, both the large
and small investors. was declared yester-
day by Representative Stevens, Of New
Hampshire.
''Inasmuch as the railroad Is not ca. n
ing a dividend, but Is operating on capl-
tai borrowed at high rates OF interest, II
appears that the suspension Of dividends
is the better means Of preserving the
best interests of the stockholders than
to pay premiums on money 1t Is not
earning" Mr.. Stevens said.
1.-The financial condition OF the road
for years has been an open secret. The
people know that for several years past
the road has not made sufficient earnings
to pay dividends. To wait until its la
bllities have been discharged and then
resume payment of dividends to stock
holders seems to be the most logical ac-
ton the road could take"
