Corn Market Scores Gains, But Pro-

CHICAGO. August 3--Despite war

prices today tended downward Alb
sence Of an immediate foreign demand
was largely responsible. The contin-
uance Of heavy margin calls on all
trades operated to restrict speculative
dealing, so that any effect from the

ent. The opening. which ranged from

general setback Of l TO ~. and then
by a rally. which was In some cases

Corn traders paid but little attention
to war news. The chief influence was

important producing sections OF the

Treasury Officials Sent
to New York Bankers
and Straighten Situation

President Wilson sent Secretary Nc
Adoo and Controller Williams to New
York yesterday to reaesure bankers, large
and small. These two men have author
ity to put in operation the plan which
Congress designed years ago for such
situations as the present. by which the
national banks Of the country can OBJ
tain 100000 in currency. under the
Aldrich- Vrealand act. with which to face
any condition and meet any obligations.
Before Mr.. McAdoo left Washington
the Treasury shipped out about 100000
600 Of the Aldrich-Vreeland currency.
which was In the vaults of the sub
treasury this morning ready for the New
York banks.
Calls Only From New York.
There has been no call from outside OF
New York for Aldrich-vreeland currency,
and it was not believed here that other
banks will make such calls. The Treas
ury Is stocked with many millions more
Of bills printed. stamped and packed
ready for instant shipment. The very
fact that this vast sum Is here Is ex-
pected to have a reassuring effect
throughout the country.
Another factor which officials think
may help to allay uneasness is the de-
posit OF $34,0OO.0oO by the Treasury in
national banks in the farming sections OF
the country to be used in moving crops.
This fund will be available as soon as
the banks comply with the conditions
laid down by the Department and prob
ably will be placed at their disposal with
in short time. Distributed through a
large section Of the country. it will aid
the banks in meeting the usual demand
for money for the crop movement. reliev-
ing New York from this burden.
Before the week is over the President
expects to see all the members Of the
federal reserve board in Office and the few
federal reserve banking system in oper-
alton. Virtually every move has been
made except the actual organization of
the twelve reserve banks provided by
the currency act, but organization can
not be perfected until the reserve board
is actually in office.

VALE AND PRINCETON
 HAD FINAL WORKOUTS
Coaches Declare Men in Excellent Shape-RIue Followers Confident of Victory.

Princeton. N J., Nov. 13.--Both Yale and Princeton had their final workouts here today in preparation for their an nuaI gridiron contest in the new Pal mer stadium tomorrow. Coach Pendeld gave his squad only a short signal drill on University field. the stadium being given over exclusively to the Yale players.
 4 high wind prevailed all day and the handling of punts in the new structure largely was matter or guesswork Immediately after its practice, the Yale squad returned to New Brunswick, where training quar- ters have been established
 Notwithstanding the comparatively poor showing made by the Princeton eleven so far this season, many of its supporters believe that the team has been materially strengthened, both on the defensive and offensive and that Yale will find in the Orange and Black that which met an overwhelming de- feat at the hands of Harvard a week ago. Yale followers, however, express confidence in the Ellis and are offering odds on their favoriteS. The coaches of both elevens declare their men are in good condition and ready for the battle.
 The Palmer, stadium formally was given over to Princeton today, Edgar Palmer. its donor making the preSen- tation speech and President Hibben accepting it on behalf of the univer- sity. The entire undergraduate body was present at the ceremonies.

reopen for unrestricted trading at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Soon after the issuance of this statement adVices were received from New Orleans that the market there also would resume business Monday, and as the LiverpoJ Jl market has been gradually removing the restrictions on trading there, it is thought that operations will begin again in the English city within the next few days.
 The Liverpool exchange thus far has taken no action to remove the bar ca selling in that market below 4.35 pen>e for May-June contracts, but the re- cent establishment of the corporation syndicate plan here removes any cause for apprehension as to the effect of future price movements on the re maining interest in old contracts in the New York market. In a state ment issued late today, however, the board of managers requested that members accept no orders on old style contracts except in liquidation, and the new style contracts will begin with January contracts. Trading on the calls, until further notice, will be in old style contracts in January to May inclusive, and in new style contracts alone in all later deliveries. The new style contract is based on the govern ment grades and is in conformity with the United States cotton futures act

BLUE RULES AFAvORITE OVER TIGERS
General Interest Focused Over te Outcome of Two Three Games--Yale Appears to 0utclass Princeton Dartmouth Meets Penn Harvard Faces Brown.

The eastern football schedule for to- day presents a top-heavy appearance since general interest will be focus sed on the outcome of two or three games.
 First place in tomorrovs,s contest is accorded the YaIe-Princeton game, and while the Blue rules 8, favorite to de- feat the Tigers, there are many Prince ton supporters who predict that the Orange and Black eleven will close it's season with 8 showing against the ELS that will wipe out the memory of last weeks disastrous defeat at the hands of Harvard
 When the season's records of the two eleVenS are carefully considered, it appears unlikely that such an elev- enth hour reversal of form is probable. for while the Yale defense this autumn has proved uncertain and cratic, 1t has flashed at times into marked su- periority to that of thet Tigers. Sy- racuse, Dartmouth, Williams and Har- yard all found Princeton weak in de- fendiug her own goal line, and if the game against the Crimson can be talk . en as a criterion, little progress has been made in the closing weeks of the season toward remedying this defect.
 YaIe's Offensive the FaVorite
 From an offensive standpoint, Yale appears to outclass her rivals of today, since every team the Blue has faced this season has been scored upon re- peatedly with the single exception of the strong Washington and Jefferson eleven, which won from the Ellis Is to 7. Powerful combinations, such as Virginia, Notre Dame and Colgate. went down to defeat by one-sided scores, being unable to sold the Blue -rs hes and npen-passing game in check
 Princeton, on the other hand, has found it 8 difficult task to defeat the teams which met her on the home field each Saturday until the trip to Cam bridge was made. Rutgers and BlSck- neil tested the Tigers to the limit in the opening games. while Syracuse. Dartmouth and Williams held the lead at Ill times and only a desperate rally in the closing minutes of the game gave victory to the Orange and Black. If the fighting spirit and jump can be instilled into the eleven in the early minutes of today's contest, the Ti- gers may close their season with vic tory. but the Yale supporters are of fering odds that this is a football up set not ordained.
 Dartmouth vs. Penn
 The Pennsylvania Dartmouth game offers somewhat similar conditions up on which to speculate. The Quakers have played cratic football all season, showing strength and dash in one contest only to slump. badly a, week later Defeated by Franklin and Mar shall and held to a no score tie by Lafayette. the Red and Blue came back strongly against the Navy, winning, IS to 6.

bankers in Boston and Philadelphia, and that their participation would in sure the raising of S96, 100000 in the non-cotton producing states This would be within $4,00o,000 of the amount required from these states.
 Officials were hopeful that the New England and Philadelphia bankers would contribute the portion allotted to them and thought they would be able to announce the completion of the sub scripdon list tomorrow or Monday. The seriousness of the situation. however, was shown today when Amory Elliott of Boston and J. G. Wells of Provi- dence had a long conference with Governor Hamlin of the federal reserve board and Secretary of the Treasury MOAdoo.
 Although he would not discuss ne conference, Governor Hamlin said to- night he believed the New England bankers would respond to the cau. They have been concerned with the possibility of a violation of the SheI- man antitrust act in raising this fun l. The opinion of Attorney General Gregory that no such violation was contemplated apparently was not suf- ficient to quiet all doubts on this point.

 The forlowingiis a clipping, from the San Francisco Bulletin:
 Jimmy Clabby is aniddleweight champion of the world. Tie Indianan's right to the title was clinched. last Friday night at CoffToth'S Mission street arena, when he outguessed, out fought and cutgereraIed the hard-hit- ting George Chip. The fight did not prove the sensational one that was generally expected. But it was one in which the thousands of assembled fans witnessed a most wonderful boxing ez- hibition on the part of Clabby.
 With the idea well in mind that one solid punch from his opponent would spell for him disaster and deprive him of the championship, the Indianan took chances that at times made him appear reckless, and on each occasion he emerged with just a little to spare in his favor
 The kind of game that Chip went up against was aptly described by one of the witty young men assembled about the ring:
 ''EVerywilere Chip puts his face. D said this young man, The finds box ing glove"
 But don't run away with the idea that Chip was so badly beaten that he didn't stand a chaRce to win.
 The Newcastle han was dangerous from the moment he put up his hands unLll fleAST6S bSII 061IS 1CIu dp SAdD- by's arm.
 Chip simply couldn't connect, that's all Clabby was too wriggly and too foxy to be hit. The long-range punch es, which are Chips most dangerous ones, he easily ducked, lodged or smothered, and in the clinches he used his snake-like arms to slam Chip from all sorts of angles.
 In only one round, the second, did Chip seem to have a chance to win with his punch. In that round, when it was no more. than a minute old, Chip sunk a left into Clabby's ribs which caused the Indianan to grunt. Then again, just before the close of the round Chip sunk another left in the same place, and again did Clabby grunt in pain.
 That second punch was productive of shouted demands on the part of Jimmy Dime that Chip wade in and finish his man. And Chip, in attempt ing otobey his managers orders, dove

t.- into Clabby head first and committed an unfntentionaI foul, which did no damage and for which he -apologized.
 The two punches landed in that one round seemed to wake labby up and to give him line on Chips style, and the third round found the 1ndianan outboxing his man, which he con tinued to do until the end.
 Clabbys best round was the six teenth when he came within a shade of winning on a knockout In this round Clabby. in a midrinS nixup started Chip toward the ropes, and as the Newcastle mans back touched the hemp Jimmy let go a. left hook which landed flush on Chips jaw The New castle mans head dropped forward, and as it did so Clabby let go a right which landed just behind the ear second. And George did hold-he held so tightly that labby's pink skin was treaked with white when he let go The gong finally saved Chip When 1t on.iim 1aLf o va
 rang George was tottering around the hing like a drunken sailor with the eEer=busy Clabby vainly attempting to find an opening through which he might slip through a finishing punch.
 So far as actual punishment inflicted was concerned the contest might well have been offered as evidence in con tradiction of the repeated state ment that all ring affairs are brutal. The nearest approach to @ knock down came in the ninth round when Chip, after rusing Clabby to corner, nasty and undignifled retreat; stumbl- ed on his own heel and fell. He arose with a laugh and continued to box as though nothing had happened. The blood spilled, though it was a worlds championship encounter, would le-r.e ,aVw Aa .re7 A4 = thimble. In the sixth round Chips left eye was split a little and bled until he reached his corner and was patched up The round following Chip bled a little from the nose as the result of a punch and from g. slight cut on the left cheek, the result of a pumping of heads.
 Two rounds later CIabby, who had neglected to hemove his false teeth, took glancing walIop on the mouth, and a.. slender stream of crimson tr1ckled down toward his chin.
 menttrick le vitfte
 That was all the blood which was spilled. It was most gentlemanly championship battle that Chip and Clabby furnished, and at the conclu- sion the main concern of each was as to whether the other. harbored hard feelings against him.
 You were the best man tonight, Jimmy" said Chip as he reached up and shook the hand held aloft by Referee Selig.
 Thank you, George replied Clab- by, you're good game fellow, and you'll whip anybody you hit"
 NO hard feelings?" asked Chip.
 Mary a one" said James. The two middleweights, one highly eiated and the other keenly disap- pointed, then turned and walked out of the ring.
 It was a sDIendid fight xva.,ad ,7nIar ideal weather conditions, and worthy or record in history as the last worlds 1 championship fight waged in Califor- nia-

CAPITALIZATION OF RAILROADS DISCUSSED
By Experts at Eighth Conference of
 Western Economic Society.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Two phases of the problem of railroad capitalization were discussed by experts here today at the eighth conference of the West ern Economic society.
 The first phase Of the subject was handled by W. 2. Ripley. professor of political economy at Harvard, who spoke at the forenoon session; the sec ond was discussed by Samuel O. Dunn, editor of the Railway Age Gazette, at a banquet of the society tonight.
 The Harvard expert, assigned to the subject of the investors interest in railway = valuation, traced immense losses to investors, who were the vic- tins, he said, of over-capitaliZation which would at least have been cur tailed by physical valuation.
 Dunn attempted to show by com parison, with the railroads of France and Germany that, dollar for dollar for capitalization, the railroads of the United States give the greatest ser vice.

feat at the hands of Princeton, would today be ranked as one of the invinci- ble teams of the east. Not an eleven, except the Tigers, has crossed the Hanoverian's goal line and Williams alone has kicked a. field goal against the New Hampshire combination. One New England team after another has been defeated by one-sided scores. Even the Tufts eleven. which, held Harvard to a B to 6 victory, was swamped 6s to 0, and if Pennsylvania wins from Dartmouth today it will be a remarkable triumph for the Qua kers and another of the seasons start ling football upestE.
 Both the Army and the Navy have selected Maine college combinations as opponents and should win, although the New England elevens are powerful aggregations with fine records for the season Harvard faces Brown in the final game of the season before tackl- ing Yale. and because of the rather mediocre showing of the Brunonians this autumn little doubt regarding the outcome is felt at Cambridge.
 Among the other games Saturday the Colgate Syracuse contest is ac- corded a place of prominence, since these two New York state institutions are represented by unusually strong keen.
 Still another contest of unusual in- terest is the annual Phillips Exeter vs. Phillips -Andover game at Andover. These famous preparatory schools have been meeting on the gridiron since 1877 and because of the excellence of the teams and the fact that most of the star players continue their football careers in the leading universities in the east the outcome of the game each year is awaited with great interest.
 Two intersectiona1 games are sched : uied Cornell visits Ann Arbor to play Michigan and a. hard, fast struggle should result, since the opposing eleV- ems have proved formidable all sea- son. At Chicago, Carlisle and Notre Dame will meet. The Pacific coast also has its feature contest of the year scheduled for decision today, when the Universities of Leland Stanford and California meet in their. annual Rugby game.
