Murphy himself.
AND yet we have it from people
who know Mr. Murphy quite
well, that he is personally a likeable
chap; genial, thoughtful, impulsive,
quick to a rather generous sort Of
anger anG equally quick to get over
il, ready to forgive faults in others
and even more ready TO ask forgive
ness for those of his own.
This is not the picture of the un-
grateful magnate who canned incou-
sideratelv the four mcn-thance,
Brown, Tinker aud IEYerS who did
the mos to earn him mis- million and
who made the Cubs the greatest
baseball machine the National League
ever saw.
IT'S an odd picture a sort Of DR..
Jekyi and Mr.. Hyde affair: and
We don't pretend 10 reconcile or eX-
plain it.
All we can suggest is this:
Mr. Charles Webb MurphY's deci-
sion to get out of baseball and his
prompt action on that decision have
made him more popular than any OF
those who knew only his baseball,
side could ever have expected him
to be.
Mr.. Murphy, as ex-boss of the cubs,
is a widely popular1ig IN the base
ball circles of this country.
And what publicist he was!

FINANCIAL CRISIS
NEAR IN BERLIN
Bankers in Conference in Effort
to Avert Crash-Drain on
Savings Banks.
lRy cahlc to The Trlburc.

Berlin. July 2S.-Conditions in the
financial world arc becoming incress-
ingly grave and a crisis is imminent
owing 10 the nervousness of both
large and small bank depositors. The
runs on the savings banks continue
undated, large lines showing outside
the institutions throughout the day.
The rule of advance notification OF
withdrawal of funds was rigidly en-,
forced. Banks are paying out gold
with the utmost reluctance. Not more
than 10 per cent of Withdrawals are
paid out in gold.
The wholesale withdrawal of Russian
funds from the German banks is caus'
ing the deepest concern. The Reichs-
bank has decided not 70 raise its rate,
though it admits that its resources are
taxed heavily. Its metal reserve ag-
gregates about $4,000, 600. of which
S315.000.0 900 is gold.
Berlin bankers are comforting daily
with a view to finding n means of az,
resting the panic which is now deemed
almost inevitable.

WAR SPOILS PLANS
OF U. S. TOURISTS
Spy Scare May Cause Americans
on the Continent Not a
Little Trouble.

London, July 2S.-Fearing Euro
pean war. many Americans who had
been planning prolonged Continental
trips have temporarily abandoned them
and decided to remain IN England.
London hotels expect another large
number from the Continent from
now on.
Some are determined TO go to the
Continent, anyway, but, possessing no
passports, are now requesting them
from the embassy. whose officials eX-
pect other Americans to do likewise. as
many tourists are not provided with
them before leaving America.
Tourist agencies Informed many anX-
ious tourists to-day that while it Is
possible TO reach Vienna, which il the
Mecca each year of great number of
Americans, yet it is impossible to go
further. besides being unsafe TO do so
under the present conditions.
A number Of Americans arc on
tramping trips in different parts OF
Europe. away from beaten paths. II IS
feared here that the spy scare, espe-
cially on the part of Germany, may
cause them temporarily not little
trouble. especially if unable to SHOW
passports. A prominent American here
said to-day many visiting watering
places in Austria were prepared to
leave at 4 moments notice, while auto
mobile touring parties were keeping ia
touch with the situation. Those booked
I sail for Continental ports in the
near future are worried at the latest
turn of events.
Among Americans on the Continent
are the Chicago railway commission
and fifty delegates to the recent mu-
nicipal congress here.
London's hotel Hobbies presented an
animated appearance to-day, with
Americans discussing their frustrated
plans.

The London morning newspapers
fully realize the gravity Of the crisis

Peace May BE Dangerous.
"The Morning Post" in a pessimistic
vein asks: "If Austria does not want to
annex Servian territory, what is the
political purpose OF her war? There
must be some motive other than mere
revenge. 1t seems that Austria is de-
liberately challenging Russia with the
approval of Germany. 1t is struggle
between the Triple Alliance and the
Triple Entente, and it seems difficult -
decide which would be the greater mis-
fortune Europe's acceptance of the
challenge, which would be followed by
a great war, or non-acceptance and the
consequent domination Of the Triple
Alliance"
All the newspapers express the fer
vent hope that the diplomatic negotia-
tions at ST. Petersburg will succeed in
averting the feared conflict.
