81 have been trying for several years
to get some sort of an accurate estimate
Of the amount Of foreign holders OF
American securities. but this seems to
be entirely impossible. AL Of the esti-
mates SO far as I have been able TO find
out have been guesses and have ranged
all the way from $500 o00O, 900 to 81. ooo. 900.
IF sales of American securities a broad
were always recorded there would be
some chance to make an estimate, but,
Of course. an enormous amount Of securi-
ties are bought and sold by foreigners
each year through private sale and no
record can be made Of this. Further
than this. a substantial amount OF securi-
ties for foreigners are bought and sold
in the United States and either shipped
abroad or else kept in the United States
by trustees, or in safe deposit boxes In
this country for the account Of foreign
investors. I think, however, that the
amount Of foreign capital now invested
in this country Is infinitely greater than
1t was twenty-five years ago, notwith-
standing the genera, liquidation which

ment OF the National City Bank, OF

Officers of the bank who have studied
his proposition say that the scheme
would not only facilitate the financing
operations Of spinners and manufacturers
but would create excellent commercial
paper, which would be sought for by
leading banks under the new Federal
reserve system.
In his undertaking Mr.. Duke has the
support and cooperation Of Stuart w.

lean Cotton Manufacturers Association.
who are to be the principal beneficiaries
of the proposed warehouse plan. The S.
100000 warehouse corporation Is not only
to build new storage houses but will take
over a number OF warehouses now owned
or controlled by the big spinning interests.
This corporation is TO operate the ware
houses, inspect the cotton as to weight
and grade and issue warehouse receipts.
These receipts are to be guaranteed either
by the company itself or by some respon-
sibie surety or banking institution. Ac-
cording to the bankers. these receipts
will be the very best kind of collateral
for loans, certain allowance for fiuc-
tuations in price being made, Of course.

Organized Baseball Plans to
Throw Bomb at Federals.
To File Suits ON Opening Day,
Test of Reserve Clause.

Chicago. Feb. SIT was learned
here today that organized baseball in
the war 1t contemplates on the Federal
League will attempt to cripple the
league when it least expects such an
attack. Not alone will the league
itself feel the force of the attack Of
the majors, but the players them
selves, who have had the courage to
leap to the Federal League. will feel
the wrath of organized basebalPs dis
pleasure.
The Federal League officials have
declared that they court a legal con-
test with the majors for the possess
sion Of the stars that they have grab
bed from the major leagues. but it is
doubtful if the Federalites. when they
made this statement took into consid-
Grafton the time at which this attack
will start.
The plans of organized baseball are
these: On the opening of the Federal
League season a series Of injunctions
will be applied for against the major
league stars on whom the majors be-
lieve they have strings through the
medium of the reserve clause in their
contracts. This reserve clause has
never been tested in court and is a
part of the contract to which the
player has affixed his signature.
A Jolt at the Start.
These ipjunctions being applied for
in the various cities OF
the league where the season is open
ing and preventing the players named
in the injunction from taking part in
any game, temporarily at least, would
be quite jolt to the Federal League.
That the magnates have contemplated
the injunction a weapon against the
Federal League has been known for some
time but the series of meetings among
the magnates of the two leagues brought
out the sentiment that a simultaneous at
tack on the Federal League would ac-
compIish what was desired, in other
words. giving it severe jolt at the very
start of its career. for last season can
hardly count as a year In the Federal
League.
And Damage Suits, Too.
In addition to the court injunctions
against the players the major league mag
mates plan q series of damage suits filed
directly against these players for viola
ton of contract.
OF course, the question arises whether
the major league contract will stand up in
court. but as this question has never been
settled there are just about as many legal
lights contending for as against this form
of contract. Some eminent attorneys have
acid test, while others have called the
of the contract absurd.
But with this double barreled war ready
to break around the ears of the Federals
the magnates of the baby league will
have plenty on their hands to attend to,
providing the injunctions are granted.

Fans Want Berth in Kansas State or
Some Other League.
Ottawa. Feb. 3.-If the talk mater
ializes. Ottawa will be on the ball map
in 1914.
Several baseball fans are in favor
of making application for member
ship in the Kansas State league which
is now in process of reorganization:
others favor organizing a smaller
league, say southeastern Kansas
league, while others would approve a
plan to organize an amateur team and
work up a reputation before the
league be planned.
Whatever form the movement takes,
it is probable that something will be
done. Last year baseball sentiment
was high in Ottawa and things went SO
far that property for baseball park
was leased conditionally, but at the
last moment it was found that the
proposed Tri-city league was using
Ottawa as a tool to pry Lawrence into
the league in the place that was being
Haunted before the eyes of the local
fans and that the plan was successful
is shown by the fact that Lawrence
finally woke up and took the place.
