WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
Richie Coming East-charIie White
Is After the Big Men.

10 HiIOl IIlS DiS "Si'
Reports from the coast indicate
that Willie Richie, after he defends
his lightweight title against Harlem
Tommy Murphy, will hike eastward
for a couple of bouts in Milwaukee,
then continuing on to New York,
where he will annex some coin in
several 'ten-round bouts in that city
against some of the eastern crop of
135-pounders.
All of this hinges on the result of
the Ritchie-Murphy battle. If Willie
loses he will not be champion, and
therefore not a drawing card. Rit-
chic, however, is not figuring on los,
ing. The articles of agreement are
in his favor, and Murphy, after years
of effort to get match for the title,
is apparently doomed to be turned
back.
Already Charlie White is demand
ing a match with Richie the next
time he leaves the state of California.
In this case, also, the weight will be
made to suit Richie, and White will
work under a handicap Richie will
not battle at less than 1875 pounds
the afternoon of a fight, and White
scales under 40. He cannot give
away this much weight to man of
Ritchie's caliber and expect-to win.
Leach Cross is still on the coast,
where he tried to land go with Joe
Rivers, following the knockout he
handed Bud Anderson New Years
The Mexican turned the New Yorker
down, and Cross will probably start
East in few days.
He must pass through Chicago, /
and it would be good business for
Whites hackers to hook him up with
Cross beforet ackling Richie, if they
sincerely believe their man is top
liner. Cross is a good, tough lad,
possessed of cleverness and wal
lop, and victory over him would
give White much prestige. White will

league pop-eyed dreams. In the past
the reports have preceded the con-
summation of some big deals by only
a few days.
For this reason the story that Ed
Konetchy is seriously considering a.
hop to the Federals is not thrown in
the waste basket. Honey has been
traded to Pittsburgh by St. Louis,
but is said to be dissatisfied, as he
wanted to go to New York, where
he thought he would have a better
chance of cutting in on the post
esason money.
Konetchy has received a contract
from Pittsburgh, but it is still in his
pocket, unsigned. The secretary of
the Pittsburgh Feds has offered to bet
a sporting writer of that city $1,000
that oKney does not sign the con-
tract.
If Konetchy does decide to jump he
will probably come to Chicago, giving
Joe Tinker a star to peg at on the
first stop. Honey himself would
neither deny nor confirm the report
that he would become a Fed. He did
make the statement that something
startling would be announced in a
few days.
The addition of Konetchy would
not only strengthen the local Feds,
and make them a strong drawing
card, but it would give the league i'm
creased prestige among the players.

pared with 3.27 in 1912. Six thousand
more men were employed in 1913 and
the increase in production was be-
tween SO. 1000. 900 and 10000. 900 tons.
DIR. Joseph A Holmes. director OF
the bureau. In commenting upon the
record for the year said:
AN examination of the statistics
Develops the disappointing fact that In
our coal mining operations during
1918, there we're killed 425 more men
than during 1912. This is an increase
Of is per cent in fatal accidents, with
an increase of only about per cent
in local production.
we can find little comfort in the
suggestion that this increase may In
part be accounted for by the occur
renee during 1918 OF four large mine
explosions. Furthermore. while the
total deaths from mine explosions was
2I3 greater in 1913 than in 1912, the
number OF explosions in which more
than five men were killed was only
seven as compared with ten explos-
ions in 1912. In fact the statistics
show an increase in fatalities during
1913 from all the underground causes
except mine fires and surface acct
dents.
Some progress has been made,
however. in the safety as shown by
the statistics for the last eight years.
In the four years ending Dec. 81. 1909.
the average death rate was 3.97 for
each 1000 men employed. In the last
four years the rate was 5.6S. Com
pairing deaths with production of coal,

lion tons mined during the four years
ending Dec. 81. 1909 was 5.99, as COM
pared with 5.11 for the four years end
ing Dec. 81. 1913. These latter fig
ures indicate a general gain of II per
per cent for safety during the last
four years over the four years pre-
ceding. But this progress has been
small as compared to that which the
country will demand during the next
few years

Steel Imports Less Under New Tariff

600: and miscellaneous iron anC
steel. reported as "all other" from
SAIL 900 to $360.0O0. Tin plates alone
show a marked increase, from $31,
600 in January, 1913, to $246,0O0 in
January of the present year. This
| figure, however, is about 100000 be
low the January imports of 1908 and
1910. Other articles with increased
! imports during January include cut
| lery, which advanced from S144,00C
! in January, 1913. to $4,000 in Janua-
~, 1914; bar iron, from $4,000 to
$4,000; wire. from $4,000 to $780,
900; and shotgun barrels, from $4,000
TO $4,000.
Both Germany and the United
Kingdom exceed the United States in
imports as well as in exports of iron
and steel. Imports of iron and steel
manufactures during the calendar
year 1913 into these three principal
manufacturing nations of the world
are as follows: The United States,
S34,000.O00; Germany, $4,000, 900;
the United Kingdom, S145, 200, 900.
Compared with 1912 the foregoing
figures represent, in the case of the
United States, an increase of $4,000
900; Germany, a decrease of 81 ,000,-
600; and the United Kingdom, an in
crease of S1S,000.O0O. Imports of iron
and steel into the United States and
Germany are, in each case, but about
one-tenth as much as their exports
or that character; while those into
the United Kingdom are over one
fourth the value of its exports of iron
and steel products.
Most of the pig iron imported into
the United States is shipped from
England; scrap iron is mostly from
Canada, with England, Cuba and Pan
anna as the next largest sources
Practically all imported antifriction
balls come from Europe, three-fourths
OF them from Germany acne, which
country also supplies nine-tenths of
our imported razors, pen knives and
other cutlery. Belgium usually takes
first rank in the shipment of firearms
to this country, though In certain
years Germany has been the leading
source. Tin plates are most largely
imported from England: enameled
ware from Germany, Sweden and
Austria; shotgun barrels from Bel
GUM; and embroidery and lace max
ing machinery, from England, France
and Germany. In most cases, howev-
er, Germany is the leading source of
the manufactures of iron and steel
imported into the United States.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE II. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District.

I frequently soar to 10 and IL per cent.
| The average interest rate on farm
mortgages in this country is over eight
per cent.
The banks will use the mortgages
! deposited with them as securities on
which to base general issue of farm
debenture bonds. These bonds the
farm bank system, as unit, will mar
ket in the principal money centers OF
the world. Backed as these bonds
will be by the best security in the
worid-the farm land which produces
the food which the people must have
they will prove to be gilt-edged Sc
curities, and ought to sell at par al
though carrying a very low rate OF
interest. No government bond will
offer better security to an investor.
The principal of repayment of these
loans by the farmers will be the so
called amortization plan, or annual
repayments of principal and interest
Thus while the bank will make avail
able to agriculture great reservoirs or
money at easy rates, it will permit or
the repayment of this money on such
low terms that they will not prove en-
barassing to the poorest borrowers.
The bill will provide that the bank
will retain supervision over the man.
Ter in which TO declare the purpose
for which he wants the money. The
only purpose for which the bank will
lend will be for the uses of agricul-
ture. If a farmer is dissipating his
loan in any other way. the bank will
shut down on him. This plan aims to
make the farm loans dynamic instead
of burdens on the borrowers. There is
to be no paying for dead horses with
these loans The money must be APP
piled by the farmer to making more
money. If the system works as its en-
thusiasts think it will ii ought TO
prove to be the greatest stimulation
American farming has eytr had. To-
will enable the tenant TO become an
owner; it will enable the poor farmer
TO become Independent. 1t means
prosperity for American farming.

Imports of iron and steel into the

ing plan is to be cooperation.
The government will probably fos-
ter the creation of a chain of rural
banks. The farmers themselves can
become the owners and proprietors OF
these banks. To the banks those
farmers desiring loans to carry on
farming operations will bring their
mortgages. On these mortgages the
banks will lend money for longtime
periods. While it will be impossible
in advance to calculate the exact rate
of interest to be charged. it is the esti-
mate of experts who have appeared
before the committees that the rate
will be close TO five per cent.
This rate is not revolutionary in
some OF the eastern farming states
where there is plenty of money for
Ioaning and where the interest rates
are accordingly low. But it will prove
to be a great boon to farmers of the
west and south, where interest rates
