A QUESTION FOR THE BANKERS.

A QUESTION FOR THE BANKERS. THE currency-reform bill as final
 ly shaped for consideration by
 the House Democratic caucus is pronounced by so good a financial authority as the New York Evcning Post to be superior to the Aldrich bill," which had the approval of the American Bankers Association.
 It has even won some tolerant words from the New York Sun. It has practically disarmed the early and violent opposition of the New York Times without undergoing any radi- cal change in it's general structure. 1t brings from the New York Com mercial a demand for it's immediate passage by COngres in the interest of settled bushes conditions.
 At this juncture there goes forth a hurry call through the American Bankers Association for a conference whose purpose seems to be either to force a change from Government con trOl over the new system to banking control, or action to block the passage of the bill.
 We cannot believe the associated bankers will adopt any such course. They are men capable of learning from experience, and they have been first to demand such a reform in gen eral principles as the administration bill provides. They threatened to secede from the national system if they were not given full control of the reformed system, and have been forced to abandon that line of dicta- ton. They will be forced to abandon any other line or dictation or, perhaps, fare worse than they do now.
 Which shall it be? Let the bankers conference give thought to the answer.

JIM THORPE WILL BE
HIGHEST PAID RECRUIT

nous athlete would make good on
the ball field. The story that the
Ptttsburg club had signed Thorpe
last fall for $1,000 was repeated
frequently, with no positive denial
from Barney Dreyfuss.
The statement that Warner re
ceived $1,000 from the New York
club In return for his influence is
said to have been made by a BaIti
more man who is a close friend of
McGraW's relative. 1t probably will
be denied by the Carlisle coach.
but the story is going the rounds
in baseball circles, and McGraw's
enterprise is generally commended.
McGraw, while extremely liberal
In naming the terms in Thorpe's
contract has cast an anchor to
WindWard. 1t is said that Thorpe
has signed n regular form baseball
contract which contains the usual
ten days notice of release In other
words, if Thorpe fails to measure
up to tn" MCGraW standard of play
he can be turned loose in midsea-
son. But MCGraw doesn't believe
for moment that he will have to
resort to such measures

By Damon Runyon.

NEW YORK, Feb. lot is said
today in baseball circles that
1t cost the Giants all told
$4,000 to sign Jim Thorpe. His con-
tract, according to the story, calls
for a salary of $4,000 for one year,
Thorpe receiving a bonus of $500
for signing while Glenn Warner,
who brought the famous Indian
here. is said to have collected $4,000
for his share in the deal.

GraW, so it is said. went to Car

$500 bonus to the Indian. which il
was figured would staggor the other
clubs who were in the hunt. Ban
croft, in behalf of August Herr

spurned. The Pirates representa-

whereupon, it is said Warner and
Thorpe made it known that the
New York club would pay more
money. That ended the bidding
and McGraw's relative, over the
long distance telephone, informed
the Giants manager that he had

Other stories about Thorpe's de
