Mad Spenders.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
James j. Hill. in addressing 700
bankers in Chicago recently, said
among other things:
Most OF our cities are mad spend
ers, intent only on securing an In
crease margin for bond Issues by rails
ing the assessed valuation. Not a few
Of them are meeting part of their cur
rent expenditures by issuing bonds.
While refunding instead of leyying
taxes to pay at maturity, has become
almost the invariable rule
He mentioned that several large
cities had offered bonds in the past
few months at an increase rate of In
terest without finding purchasers that
the danger line in municipal extraya-
gance in all cities had about been
reached. That the assets such as
schools, city halls, fire equipment could
not be sold without dissolving the
community itself. They are only i'm
aginary assets. The issue of bonds in
excessive volume has, therefore, COM
PEELED the buyer to consider pos.
sible inability Of the people to pay
That point will presently be reached
unless we sharply correct the prevail
ing policy

HENDRIX LOSES
 CHAMPIONSHIP
HENDERSON WINS 7 TO Q
FORWARD BY MOORS OF VISITORS CAUSES
 HENDRIX DEFEAT.

In the prettiest, fastest and hard est fought game of football ever play ed on Hendrix field, Henderson Brown College of Philadelphia defeated the Bulldogs by the score of to 0, there by winning the football championship honors of the state.
 Had it not been for the intercep- tlon of forward pass attempted by Hendrix, it is very probable the result would have been to 0. Both teams were evenly matched in so far as ability, knowledge of the game and determination is concerned. but in speed, the Henderson back-field men were trif1e the superior. It was in this one point that the Reddies owe their victory.
 During the first half of the game, neither side was able to score, al though both teams had chance. Hen drix kicked to Henderson to start the affair, and soon recovered the ball when Henderson failed to make her downs. The Bulldogs began a march towards the Reddies' goal, and when she reached the three-yard line, Me Cormack fumbled the oval, losing the ball to the visitors. That one play had a great deal to do with the re- suit, as the Bulldogs seemed to be bit disheartened. Without any pre- liminaries whatever, the Reddies car ried the ball to within three inches of the Bulldogs goal, but at that point Hendrix braced, and held them for downs.
 It was in the third quarter that the fatal accident occurred. Quarter back Legg attempted to pass the ball to a Hendrix man, but Moors, who substituted for Watson at fullback at the beginning of the third term, plucked the swine hide out of the clouds and scampered through brok- en field 50 yards for touchdown Big Chief" Wade kicked an easy goal
 After that neither side was able to get within the danger zone of their opponents.
 The game was characterized by the clean sportsmanship of the players, the usual grumbling being minus l ed the championship of the state, the Hendrix supporters remained loyal to the Bulldogs to the last, and before the Henderson special train left, sev- eral hundred students went to the sta tion and gave several cheers for the Reddies, ending with "Old Regular"

NEWSPAPERS
State Department Regrets
the Erroneous Re-

Washington, May 2s.-The following
! statement was issued yesterday by the
state department:
THE state department has authorized
the American embassy at Toxic to deny
San Francisco telegram which APP
peared in Japanese papers, to the effect
that preparations are being made for
war. The report was due to the fact
that troops of artillery were being sent
to Hawaii and that the Philippine gar
rison was to be increased. A few artil-
lerymen have been sent to Hawaii in
pursuance of plans adopted before this
administration began, but no increase is
contemplated in the Philippine garrison.
The changes that have taken place are
only the customary exchange OF regi-
ments. The department regrets that any
newspaper or newspaper representative
should send so misleading a telegram
from the United States
