Called Of After Three Weeks Of
Street Fighting.

The strike OF 1900 raEpickers, which
began three weeks ago and was accom-
panied with almost daily riots. was de-
clared OFF yesterday. after conference
between committees OF the union and the
employers.
During the trouble there were more
fights between pickets and ragpickers
who refused 10 70 on strike than have
taken place even in any East Side strike
for a long time. The women pickets
played large part in the fights when
women workers refused to quit, and hair
pulling battles were common.

Objections TO the Bill.

The principal objections 10 the present
currency bill mentioned in the resolu-
tons presented by Mr. Forgan and re-
ferred TO the committee on resoIuuoHs
for consideration were:
That the state banks, which outnumoer
national banks two to one and do hall
the countrys business. cannot be induced
20 voluntarily come into the new system
so that in order 10 establish the federal
reserve banks entire reliance would have

total capitalization is $1,000 10000. one
tenth ~ which. or SOS 900. is to form
the Capitalization OF the federal reserve
banks. and that this sum is inadequate
TO the need o. the proposed system.
That the practical effect OF the act will,
within sixty DAYS OF its enforcement
cause A loan contraction Of tl.s050o06o.
That II will cause a shortage in the re-
serves OF the national banks OF 100000
that instead OF twelve federal reserve
hanks there should he the smallest pos
sible number preferably one large CEN

Insurgents Admit Partial Defeat
Mr. Henry and his insurgent band were

Paul Krichell, who caught for the
St. Louis Browns last year. is a Teu
ton. and proud of the fact. Krichell
is a happy go-lucky chap, and is al
WAYS able to see the funny side of
any situation. He always smiles when
he thinks of how he once sided in
with SILK O'LoughHn on the spur of
the moment, only to have the laugh
turned on him, instead of the re-
cruit who was initial victim.
One of the American league clubs
was trying out a shortstop of Teu-
tonic parentage. He was just fresh
from the minors, and full of pepper.
With a man on first a ball was hit
to the second baseman, the kid
shortstop was slow in covering, and
the veteran second sacker made the
play to first, getting the batter. The
first baseman then shot the ball to
the shortstop, who had finally reach
ed second The throw beat the run
ner, but the shortstop forgetting that
the out at first had eliminated the
force play, failed to touch the run
ner, merely putting his foot on the
bag Krichell happened to be the
runner. He was laughing hard at
the expense of the recruit. whose
mental lapse had allowed him to
reach second in safety. when he
should have been an easy out. The
recruit kicked so hard that OLouRh-
lin almost put him out before some
one finally explained the play.
When the player had finished the ex-
PLANTATION O'Loughlin. peeved at the
conduct of the youngster. remarked:

He Has New Idea
on Relay Racing

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.--Gustavus T.
Kirby. president of the A. A. u. is
responsible for new itiea. in handi-
cap relay racing which will be put
in practice at the games of Column
bia university in the Seventy-first
Regiment Arnory on February 18th.
AT present the handicaps allotted
each of the four men on the team
are bumped together. and the first of
the four men to start takes the full
team handicap. every other man run
ming his fun quarter of a mile, or
whatever the relay distance may be.
Mr.. Kirbys scheme is to divide the
handicap into four parts. SO that If
the team handicap la forty yards each
member OF the team will run 430
yards.
The advantage claimed for this
scheme is that 1t will avoid conges-
ton when the relays are being
changed, as each team will relieve it's
partner at a different part of the
track.
