They brought back about all the am
unition they carried away, also one

can not be charged up to the hunters,
for they were willing. 1t rests with
the perversity of the geese in refusing
to come around and be shot.
Geo. w. Fluekey, of Toledo, Ohio,
who is interested in the Rich Bar mine,
a few miles west of town arrived in
Oroville last Friday for the purpose
of looking over the property. Mr..
Fluekey has been a visitor to this part
of the county number of times in the
past, and at every visit he is more
pleased than ever with the Rich Bar
mine. Unfortunately very little has
been done on the property in the way
OF development for several years, but
the hope is entertained that some
time in the future the stockholders
will be able to start up active work
A fine body of ore has been opened up
On the claims, and as they are directly
touching the railroad the expense of
handling ore in order to get it to
treatment plant would be very slight
The mineral showings on the Rich
Bar are such that extensive develop
ment is justified.
Last Friday evening r. p. Hoskyn
was tried before Judge Parsons on a
charge of using vile and indecent Ian
guage on the street, and after hearing
the evidence the judge found the ac-
cused guilty as charged and taxed up
a fine of 81 and costs against him. The
case was the elimination of diff
iculty between the Oroville band and
Judge Hoskyn growing out of the COM
pensation claimed by the band for
playing at the Dill political meeting
curing the campaign. According to
the evidence presented Judge Hos
kyn used the insulting language at
tributed to him before Roy Vincent
and Frank Bartell, jr., and it was
directed toward the band. A large
crowd was collected at the town hall,
where the trial was held, as the mis-
understanding between the parties had
been the town talk for a week or
more. Judge Hoskyn declared his in
tention to appeal the case.

Daughter of Movie Man
R0uts Robber Who
Shot Her Father.
WITH CLUB SENDS
REVOLVER SPINNING
Assailant Leaves Wounded The,
atre Man Lying in Lobby
and Makes Escape.

The quick wit and pluck Of Mary
Chiffo, fourteen years old, who sells
tickets in her fathers moving picture
theatre at 312 Bowery, prevented
robbery last night and the possible
death Of her father, Fred Chifo, who
fell with two bullets IN his left side
and left leg. The thief was aiming a
third shot at Chifo when the little
girl knocked the revolver out Of his
hand with a club.
Nothing more thrilling was ever
shown on the screen inside the little
theatre than was staged last night
in real life within the space OF q few
minutes. Soon after the first per
Torrance began a man stepped uD 10
the ticket window in the lobby and
thrust his hand inside into the cash
box. Miss Chiffo was alone IN the
ticket Office, but she took a death-like
grip on the mans hand as he snatehed
up a handful of coins and bills.
Her screams attracted her father,
who was collecting tickets inside
Chiffo ran out and grappied with the
man. The robber managed 20 free
himself from ChifFo's hold and, step
ping back a few feet, he pulled a re-
volver and fired. The first bullet
struck Chifo in the leg, and the next
one in his left side.
The girl left the ticket Office and
taking up a long stick used 20 prop
open the door, hurried outside. The
thief was preparing to fire a third
time when she swung the stick and
knocked the revolver from his hand
A third cartridge exploded as she did
this, but the bullet was wild.
At the time Of the shooting outside
two men started a fight on the inside,
and the audience, mostly women and
children, fed from the place in a panic.
Taking advantage of the excitement at
tending this the thief ran down the
street, making good his escape.
Chiffo told the police that he rec
ognized his assailant as character on
the Bowery known as kid" Hogan.
A general alarm was sent out for Ho-
gan.

goods as 10 all other belligerents, ara
as such are subject 20 capture, except
when carried In a neutral bottom.
"The character Of goods, whether
contraband or not. becomes Important
only where the shipment IS made TO
belligerent port.
"Contraband is OF two classes, abso-
Lutte and conditional Absolute contra
band is subject to capture, even In an
American bottom. Goods known as
conditional contraband are not subject
TO capture in an American or other
neutral or a belligerent bottom, unless
destined for the use Of the armed
forces or of a government department
Of the enemy state, or consigned 10
enemy authorities, or a contractor for
such authorities, or 20 q fortified place
belonging to the enemy. or other place
serving as base for the armed forces
Of the enemy. As, however, the prize
court Of the captof has jurisdiction TO
determine the latter question, shippers
should contemplate the possibility that
both classes of contraband may posi-
bly, be seized and condemned.
Chief Risks Summarized.
"The principal risks Of the owner Of
goods in a captured ship may be sum-
married as follows:
81. The cargo may be sunk with tho
ship, or condemned by the prize court
CT the captor as enemy's goods or as
contraband.
'2. The goods may be lost or damaged
by reason Of the ship striking a mine
or otherwise coming within the range
of hostilities.
90. Goods released by the prize court
as neutral may be damaged in the
course of unloading, storage or reload
ing. Losses of this nature would not
be covered by a marine policy, but
would be covered by war risk policy.
a. Extra charges and expenses m
connection with forwarding released
goods from the port Of the prize
court TO their original destination
would not be covered by a marine
policy, but would be covered by war
risk policy.
"5. The owner Of tie released goods
may suffer loss due to a deterioration
in the quality Of goods owing to their
inherent nature, a depreciation in price,
loss Of market, or a loss of interest
in consequence of delay in obtaining
the release of his goods by the prize
court. Such losses are not covered
either by the ordinary form Of ma
rine policy nor by a war risk policy"

CANADA TO GET
CECILIE'S GOLD
$5,OO0,000 Awaits Order
To Be Sent to Ottawa as
Remittance Basis.

Regarding the announcement that
the Bank Of England has made ar
rangements 70 receive gold in Ottawa
and make payments against 1t IN Lon
don. Alexander J. Hemphill. president
Of the Guaranty Trust Company, said
Yesterday that this institution had not
vet received orders to forward to Can
ada the 100000 gold shipped on the
Kronprinzessin Cecilie and returned TO
New York this week.
Mr.. Hemphill asserted, however, that
the gold will ultimately be forwarded
20 Ottawa. in accordance with the ar
rancement whereby deposits with the
Canadian Minister OF Finance are to
provide means Of remlttances from
North America to London without
shipment of gold across the Atlantic.
Mn. Hemphill said the reshipment or
the gold would not necessarily affect
the export situation, so far as this
country is concerned. 1t could easily
be used, Mr.. Hemphill added, for the
purchase Of Canadian commodities, and
the transfer of the gold to Canada
could not Ice regarded as & withdrawal
from the United States.
Max May, foreign exchange expert OF
the Guaranty Trust Company agreed
with Ir. Hemphlll that the shipment
to Canada of the $5,000,0OO originally
consigned to London would not relieve
the paralysis existing in the foreign
exchange situation here.
J. p. Morgan & Co. announced that
eG.OOO.OOO additional French gold had
been deposited with that firms Paris
house, Morgan, Harjes & Co. The de-
post was made in accordance with the
arrangement concluded last week, and
raises the amount Of French money
already handled by the Morgan firms
to s12,0o0.0O0.
The plan whereby gold deposited
with the Canadian Minister of Finance
may be credited TO the Bank of Eng
land was made through the Morgan
firm. Gold to the amount of 100000
has already been sent to Ottawa by
this house.
The Equitable Trust Company an
rounced that it was prepared TO pay
by cable in cash in Paris any amount
up to 100000 francs. The National City
Bank will also pay by cable small
amounts to American tourists in the
French capital.

face Of the present trying situation
would be for the Controller to ignore
the fact that the national banks have
less than the legally required reserves,
until such time az they can make good

BANKERS REQUEST
CAUSES ANGER
Some Representatives Disposed
to Reputation Rather
than Yield.
ITrom The Trlbunc Burcau.I

Washington, Aug. 12.-The request
Of the national banks Of New York that
they be permitted, preferably by an
amendment TO the existing law, to
count currency other than gold and
legal tender notes, notably national
bank noccs, as part Of their reserve,
which the present law requires shall
be maintained in gold or legal tender.
Us the direct outcome of the establish
ment by England of p branch of the
Bank Of England in Ottawa, Canada,
say experts here.
II appears that England, believing
the United States the nation most like
ly to meet its obligations in time OF
stress, has accumulated large credits
i'm New York and is now calling for
gold in payment thereof. IL has for a
time been impracticable, because Of the
risk and the high rate OF insurance, 10
ship gold TO England, but no risk at
tends the shipment of gold 90 Ottawa,
and once there. in the branch of the
Bank of England, it can be checked
against by England with almost az
great facility as J. IL were M the
vaults Of the Bank O England itself.
The proposition O the bankers that
some steps be taken, by law or other
wise. to authorize the banks TO include
national bank notes in their reserves
was put up 10 the members of the
Federal Reserve Board this afternoon,
and the bankers were requested 10
draft an amendment TO the existing
law in accordance with their ideas,
which has been done. The financial
leaders Of Congress were consulted re-
carding the subject this evening. Some
Of them are indignant that England
should prove to be the factor seem
incly compelling such course, and
are almost disposed to favor repudl-
alton rather than yield to the repre-
sensations of the bankers, but it is be
leved that ultimately wiser cOunsels
VIII prevail.
The Comptroller of the Currency,
John SHELTON Williams, denied this
evening that any such request had
been received from the New York
bankers, although he was present at
the meeting of the Federal Reserve
Board at which the request was con-
sidered. From other members OF the
board. however, the Tribune CORE
spondent has secured the facts as
above set forth. What the outcome
will be cannot be foretold tonight.
The bankers who recommended this
course do so with great reluctance,
fully realizing the economic unsound-
ness of the proposition, but they see
under existing conditions no other
method Of meeting the combined de-
mands of the European crisis and tie
COMPTROLLER of the Currency.
The financial experts Of the govern
ment here believe that by far the wisest
course which could be pursued in the
