JOHN ]. M'CRAW
 |S PAID $30,000 Manager of the Giants Pulls Down the Biggest Salary of Any H''.'
 Base Ball Player.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The long disputed question as to who is the highest salaried man in baseball has at last been answered through the medium of the income tax, and thu honor belong to John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants Few will dispute McGraw's right to this distinction. as his most likely ! rival from the standpoint of result, is d part owner of ball club-COn nie Mack and hence he cannot be figured from th+ salary stand:Gnt alone Al various times Frank Chance, Iris Speaker. Ty Cobb and other not
 ables have been put forward as tn" games highest priced star. Since the Federal League came into activity Joe Tinker has been a contender for the high salaried honors. but all doub! seems to have vanished with Nc Graw's declaration before the inc omp tax representative. The figure is S"O, 900 per year.
 McGraw drew down this princety stipend from the National Exhibition Company last year for piloting the Giants to their third successive cham
 pionship in the National League. He
 will receive a similar amount for the
 coming season, and he has contract
 guaranteeing him the same money for
 three years to come. He signed the contract last winter short time be fore the Giants departed for tEe training camp, but neither President
 Hempstead nor Manager McGraw 1 would announce the figures. AZ the time he was asked to sign new cop
 tract Manager McGraw was under contract which had two more years
 to run Various estimates were made
 about the new contract, and $20.0vI
 was generally accepted as the likely
 figure. McGraw neither affirmed nor
 denied the rumor until he was oblig
 ed to conform to the income tax law.
 McGrGaw's income from baseball
 for 1913 was $33,5O0 This included
 his r$3O,000 salary, the share he re
 ceived from the -'orlds series. and
 from exhibition games during tho
 playing season He received no per
 centage from the New York Club. This
 disproved the frequently expressed
 idea that .McGraw was a stockhOlder
 in the National Exhibition Company,
 as the company controlling the Giants
 is known.

GAVE. A BR|BE; WANTS II BACK
Seattle Prostitute Sues to Recover s2s.oo She Claims Was Given
 to Policeman.

SEATTLE, April 4~One of the prostitutes of this city today began suit against Patrolman Humphrey, al so of this city, demanding the re turn of $2500, which the woman of the underworld claims he demanded and received from her as the price of allowing her to ply her trade.
 Humphrey was a former member of the purity squad under the Cot terille administration and was order ed to suppress the street walkers. The woman claims that he allowed her to continue business, but forced her to give him 1925 as the price and that she now wants the money back, as she is in hard straits and must have the money at once.
 The filing of the suit caused sen sation and if the case is prove11' will mean the dismissal of the patrolman from the force. His friends claim that the suit is being brought by the forces of the underworld in order to retaliate, for the faithful execution of the laws against; them while Humph- rey was on the purity squad. and that they. promised to get him, and are now trying to make good. their threat,

When the buildings were erect, ed they were so constructed that oth- CT units could be added if develop ment warranted. Gas engines are used to furnish power, but splen- did water power, capable of operat- ing the machinery all the year round, is part of the company's holdings and will be harnessed when advantageous to do so:
 The mine is located on Hobo bay, in the Port Wells district, and pos sesses many natural advantages for the cheap reduction of its ores. Be- fore the ground could be cleared for the site of the mill heavy timbers, which were used in the buildings, had to be cut down. The mill is located

 The property was discovered dur ing the summer of 1912 by Mark Ia tum and Jack Irwin. The ledge, where it outcropped, was small but showed very rich values. They shipped II tons to- the Tacoma smelter and re- ceived net return of $196 per ton. Senator E. F. Willard and associates became interested in the property and one year ago took it over and immediately began development on a large scale. A tunnel was driven which tapped the ledge at depth of approximately 140 feet below the sur face. The ledge, which showed a width of 14 to IS inches at the out crop was found to have widened to four feet and carry high values. While an upraise was being made to pro- vide air for the shaft body of ore carrying values of thousands of dol lars per ton was encountered. The high grade was sacked and put to one side. where it is still covered with snow The ore from which the bull lion was extracted was largely taken from the shaft and tunnel, no ef-

DELEGATE SAYS MATTER |S URGENT.  <.
  Believes Valuable Time Will be Lost if Department Undertakes to in-
 vestiate the Canneries.

WASHINGTON. April 4.-Delegate Wickersham, of Alaska, appeared be fore the House Committee on Ter ritories today and urged quick action on legislation governing the taking of salmon in Alaskan waters. He de- clared that it was not necessary to permit the canneries and fishermen to operate under the present laws, while the matter was being investi- gated by the department. Valuable time would be lost and he believed the department had sufficient data at its command from which to form ulate new regulations.
 The delegate said that the use of traps should be regulated in order to prevent the extermination of the sal mon. The number of canneries op- erating along the coast of Alaska are increasing every year and the num- Der of inspectors to compel the fish ermen to observe the laws is too limited. Many canneries were visited only once during the fishing season by inspectors lowing to the \enormous distance which they had to travel and the lack of means of transportation at their disposal. .,~

WASHINGTON. April An Alas ka fisheries legislation will be post poned until the next session of con- gress. according to the plans of the Department of Commerce. It was at first expected that congress would pass the laws recommended by the department, but so much conflicting testimony has been received by the government regarding the proper laws to protect and regulate the fish ing industry in Alaska that 1t was determined today that all .legislation would wait until the return of Depf uty Fish Commissioner Jones, who will visit Alaska. this summer and spend five months in the north mak- ing first hand investigation.

One Of the startling disclosures of
the week bearing on the prevailing
monetary situation throughout the
country was the indignant protest
voiced by Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo. in charging bankers with
boarding money and refusing loans to
legitimate commercial and industrial
enterprises. Secretary MoAdoo, in an
interview handled by the Press Asso-
Citations, says that be has received
hundreds of protests from all over the
country from business men who allege
that they are unable 10 procure the
usual loan accommodations from their
banks, despite the fact that deposits.
as a general rule, have increased, and
the additional fact that the federal
government has recently issued nearly
$500. 900, 900 of emergency currency,
all of which has been deposited with
the national banks throughout the
country. The secretary Of the TREASURY
threatens to withdraw this emergency
currency from the hanks. and intim-
ated that the government might take
a hand In the situation TO the extent
of formulating some plan to make
direct Treasury loans to merchants
