HAMILTON HAS
NOGROUNOSFOR
HIS COMPLAINT
MANAGER OF sNAPFERs WAS
PAID EVERY CENT DUE HIM
AND coMPLIMENTED LOCAL
CLUB FOR TREATMENT GIVEN
HIM.

JAS. A. Hamilton, manaSer of the
Snappers during the past seasons. and
the property of the Pensa cola club by
reason of the reserve clause in his
contract, has absolutely no grounds for
the complaint he has fled with PRESS
dent Redus of the Cotton States league
and the managers charges will fall
fiat when given an airing.
Hamilton claims in charges h0 has
filed with the league president that
the Pensacola club owes him $500 for
salary and that the club was over the
salary limit
Hamilton was paid every cent that
was due him." said President Schad
last night. He was under contract
to us UP to Sept. 1. but when the
league season ended he came to US and
asked to be allowed to go to Charles
ton where he could make more money
and play longer than Sept. 1. Had he
desired he could have remained in Pen
sacoIa and drawn another months
salary but this he did not care TO do
saying it would be better for him and
also save the club money if he went
to Charleston
"He even went so far as to state
that he would waive his share on the
sale of Burmeister to Jacksonville, to
which he was entitled, saying that the
Pensacola club had lost money and
had treated him so square that he did
not care to cut into the sale price of
the pitcher.
As TO the charge that We were over
the salary limit continued President
Schad. we have the contract of every
PLAYER on the team. as we'll as the af-
fidavit of each of these men that the
salaries stipulated in their contracts
was all they received. We don't think
the charges of Hamilton will hold
good"
The fact that Hamilton has made
the charges shows that he is evidently
to get away from the
Pensacola club to go to Charleston as
mana ger. Hamilton was reserved along
with all other players Of the club, and
it is very probable that had he re-
auested the club would have given him
his release and permitted him to go
tn Charleston. Now. however. the To-
cal club will demand the $3.50 It had
to pay a Michigan club for the man
a ger as Well as interest at the rate of
two or three hundred per cent before
Hamilton gets away. He will be com
PEELED 10 do as the Pensa cola club
SAYS or else get out of baseball.

AN ALIEN LAND BILL
BRYAN FAILS TO CHECK LEGISLA.

FINAL CONFERENCE is HELD
In Three Minutes After Adjournment
Senate Convened-Measures Were

isSture on al alien land law directed
against the japanese, his mission has
failed.
The conferences between Secretary
Bryan and the legislators closed at 1880
Tuesday night. Within three minutes
and before most of the spectators knew
what had occurred, Senator A. +. Boyn-
ton, president pro TEN. Of the upper
house, convened the senate and an
amended land bill, which provides that
10 alien who is ineligible to citizenship
under the laws of the United States
may hold real property in California,
was adopted as a substitute for the pend.
ing measure by unanimous viva voce
vote.
The new bill is drawn in strict con-
formity with the treaty between Japan
and the United States, but all efforts
to gain nm opinion from Secretary Bryan
or President Wilson failed, and the state
leaders decided forthwith to proceed with
their plans for enacting it into law.
Secretary Bryan brought into tRe final
conferences more messages from Presi-
dent Wilson, but they met with no re-
Spouse from the legislators. At the close
of the secret meeting Gov. johnson and
q number of the administration leaders
said their opinions remain unchanged.

PRESIDENT WILSON WORRIED
President and Cabinet Discuss Japanese
Issue Two Hours.

Washington.-Practically all of Tues
day was devoted by President Wilson 70
consideration of the situation arising
from CALIFORNIA; projected anti-alien
land law.
The president was in frequent tele-
graphic communication with Secretary
Bryan at Sacramento and laid the entire
subject before the cabinet at a two,hour
meeting.
No kilograms from or to Secretary
Bryan were made public at the White
House. Mr.. Moore declined to discuss
the negotiations, and reticence was main
tanned at the White House.
That the president was somewhat wor-
ried about the outcome of the situation
was the only impression gained from
those who had talked with him about
the question. As far as could be learned,
the attitude of the national government
still is one of hope that if an anti-alien
bill is passed at all, it will be along the
lines OF laws existing in New York, Mis-.
souri,, Minnesota and other states.

MUST PAY INTEREST
ON FEDERAL FUNDS
REPOSITORIES ASSESSED 2 PER
CENT AFTER JULY /.
M'ADO0'S ORDERS SWEEPING
More Surplus Money viii Be Released
10 National Bsnks-First Time
in History Interest Asked
on Active Deposits.

Washington-Thc fiscal system OF
The United States governing deposits Of
federal funds in national banks was rev
%olutionilcd by Secretary McAdoo OF tn,
treasury department with an %nnounce-
mcnt that all government repositories,
whether active or inactive. would be re.
quIrcd to pay interest at the rate Of .
per cent per auntm, beginning June /,
upon deposits OF the government.
Simultaneous with this action, the
secretary authorized an immediate in
crease Of %S10,O00,000 in government de-
poslts in the national banks, making the
total $50, 6i0,694, from which the fed
eral treasury will earn, under the new
interest order, 81 ,053,000 annually.
There are Indications that Secretary Ne
Adoo intends to release still more sur.
plus money from the treasury vaults
and place it in general circulation
through increased deposits with the IA
tIonal banks. In a statement he said:
With the banks paying interest or
government deposits, the secretary may
be justified in keeping larger balances
in the national banks, thereby i~ncreas-
ing the volume of money in circulation
and to that extent reducing the amount
locked up in the treasury"
Mr.. McAdoo also announced q radical
change in the character of securities
which the treasury department would
accept for government deposits. Instead
Of requiring that the national banks Sc.
cure treasury deposits exclusively with
United States or provincial government
bonds, they will be Allowed in future
to secure 70 per cent with government
bonds and the remaining 30 per cent
with high-class state, city and county
bonds, acceptable to the secretary of
the treasury, to be taken as security at
IS per cent of their market value, but
not to exceed par.
This is the first time In history that
the treasury department has called
upon the banks to pay interest on what
are known as active deposits or accepted,
except in periods of financial stress, Sc
curity other than government bonds.

SUPREME COURT HALDS CREDIT.
ORS CAN COLLECT.
COURT STOOD FIVE TO FOUR
Court Holds That Transfer by Stock.
holders From Themselves to Them
selves Cannot Defeat Claim
of Non-Assessing Creditor.

Washington.-ln a decision of momen'
tous Importance, especially as to rail-
roads, the supreme court Monday laid
down the general principle that IA cred
itor of q corporation, not a party to
its reorganization, may hold its success
or for his debt.
In this specific case the court, five to
four, in a decision which Justice -ur.
ton, who dissented, declared was
alarming" held the Northern Pacific
Railway Company responsible for a
$4,000 judgment against the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, which it
succeeded, despite the fact that the
court expressly stated that no moral
%wrongdoing was to be found in the re-
organization.
Corporation lawyers who heard the
decision declared it was a direct blow at
the practice of recognizing corpora
tions, to get rid of onerous contracts,
or escape payment to unsecured credit
ors. Its effect, they said, would be far
reaching.
The principle as laid down by JUS.
tice Lamar was stated in this language:
Corporations insolvent or financially
embarrassed often find it necessary to
scale their debts and readiust stock is
sues with an agreement to conduct the
same business VITA tie same property
under a reorganization. This may be
done in pursuance to a private contract
between bondholders and stockholders,
and though the corporation property is
thereby Transferred to a new company
having the same shareholders, the
transaction would be binding between
the parties.
But, Of course, such a transfer by
stockholders from themselves to them
selves cannot defeat the claim of a
non-assenting creditor. As against him
the sale is void in equity, regardless of
the motive with which it is made. For,
if such contract reorganization was con-
summated in good faith and in ignor-
ance of the existence of the creditor.
yet when he appeared and established
his debt the subordinate interest of the
old stockholders would still be subject
to his claim in the hands of tho reor-
gained company.
There is no difference in principle if
the reorganization instead of being ef-
tectuated by private sale - consum-
mated by a masters deed, under a con.
sent decree.
