4 LATE CLEARANCE
FOR THE ZEALAND|A
AMERICAN STEAMSHIP WAS AL
LOWED TO TAKE OUT CLEAR
ANCE PAPERS LONG AFTER
THE CLOSING HOURS.

Pensacola's custom house officials
are nothing if not accommodating, for
yesterday afternoon, by urgent re-
quest of the exporters, clearance Of
ficers remained in the building after
the usual closing hours, for the pur-
pose of allowing the American steam
ship Zealandia an opportunity to take
out her papers for foreign ports. It
was almost o'clock when the vessel
was cleared, when ordinarily the gov
eminent building is closed to business
about half an hour earlier.
The Zealandia was cleared for Tam
pico, Mexico, and Malmo, Sweden.
For the Mexican port she cleared with
loo tons of coal, while for Malmo,
Sweden, clearance was taken out for
5000 gauge barrels of rosin. The
steamer viii be ready to go to sea to-
day.
This steamer was served with .
libel claim yesterday for the sum of
81 500, the claim being made by a
foundry firm in Tampa, alleging an
unpaid repair account for that
amount. The vessel furnished bond
and was released in short order.

Georgia are needlessly suffering from
stomach troubles, while thousands of
others have found health by the use
of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. The
first dose of this remarkable remedy
is proof. Here are the words of two
Georgians who have used it:

MUCH ACTIVITY THERE DURING
THE PAST WEEK, ESPECIALLY
AMONG THE GYMNASIUM
CLASSES.

The fall season is here. One could
tell it by the sound of happy boyish
voices at the Y. M. C. A. Every day
this past week there have been from
one to three gymnasium classes-and
in each there has been group OF
boys and men who are showing that
they appreciate health and exercise
as well as that sort of recreation
that makes life real enjoyment.
The new Physical Director, new
only in his present capacity is making
good, and all are speaking in favor
able terms of the splendid lineup of
work adapted TO each group, which
Mr.. Olsen is giving.
There are four groups of boys
classes, three for the school boy, Jun
iors, intermediates and Older High
School and one for the Employed Boy.
The Older Employed Boys and the
Seniors will be grouped together in
the Senior class this year and be Civ
en- in addition to the regular work
some fine apparatus direction.
The business men are beginning to
appreciate the value of exercise and
a few have gathered during the past
week to get. new pep" for business
and to forestall the old age that
creeps in upon the man who has no
time to get away from business. Only
last week the story is told of New
York man college athlete of former
days, who became so engrossed in bus
mess that at Is in the prime of life
he was carried away by Bright's dis
ease. The disease did not come al
once, it gradually increased until the
old time resistance broke down. There
is no life or health insurance like
proper and systematic exercise. Tt
help the business man to bear the re
sponsibilities of this strenuous time
by insuring good health is the OBJ
lject of the Tuesday, Friday class
meeting from 6 o'clock to 7:30 o'clock
p. m. Any man may drop in at any
time during this period and find tn
investment of whatever time of rea
value to him.
! The night school classes will begin
Tuesday-and any boy will find tn
opportunity for the next step in hi
preparation for success. Glasses viii
be formed in any subject for men, fol
which there may be a demand. Three
or four will find it practicable anc
possible TO put On class at extreme
ly reasonable rates.

t0NGLOST TORPEDO
FOUND BY NEGROES
GOVERNMENT PROPERTY,
WHICH HAD EVIDENTLY BEEN
FLOATING ABOUT FOR LAST
FEW MONTHS, DRIFTS INTO
THE. SLIP.

One Of the curious results of the
last week h1rr~icane e the dis
tuxbance Of Whitehead torpedo from
some point IN the bay wnefe it mad
evidently lain for months. The tor
pedo, rusty and covered with bar
nacles and sea growth, was discov-
cred in one of the slips near Baylen
Street docks, and the two coll
ored men who found it, thought when
they dropped rope over it to tow it
ashore that they had log of wood,
which they proposed cutting up in
stove lengths for either their own
Use or to sell.
The negroes at once secured their
: find, and at once started to get into
communication with the navy depart
rnent, IN the hope of collecting re-
ward usually offered for the recovery
Of lost torpedoes.
Whence il came is a matter Of sur
mise, but it was believed that the
torpedo is one of several advertised
for by the cruiser San Francisco or
Montgomery, the latter vessel having
been here some years ago to engage
in torpedo. work. It was thought
that the torpedo had taken slant
for the bottom of the bay and had
stuck its nose in the mud or sand
and that the heavy weather which
prevailed for two days and a night in
Pensacola bay had the effect Of
loosening it from its longtime bec
and it came to the surface, floating
ainnlessly until the tide caused it Il
drift near the beach.

BANK OF ENGLAND
POSITION WEAKER
Supply of Money, How.
ever, Still Far Above the
General Demand.
by cable to The Tribune. ]

London, March There were some
rather considerable movements in the
money market last week, which re-
suited in a weakening of the position
of the Bank OF England. Its return
shows loss of f4.200000 in reserve.
which is the largest decrease in any
one week since the first week of last
August.
At the same time there is loss of
f4,O0O,000 in the stock of gold and a
decrease is reported Of fl4,000,000 in
other" deposits, while "other securi-
ties rose fl6,000,000 and public deposits
increased 25,00000O.
In accounting for the loss in the re-
serve there is ostensibly an outflow Of
s2,6OO, 900 to the provinces, but the pro-
vincial demand was nowhere near this
figure, and the probability is that the
gold was earmarked for Buenos Ayres
The increase in public deposits may
be accounted for in part by revenue
collections, which would also perhaps
account for part of the loss in "other"
deposits, and in the lack of specific in
formation the guess is also hazarded
that increase in "other" securities
means large advance to one of the
Allies.
The fact remains, however that
whatever is the explanation the last
week has seen another and the largest
fall yet in what has been a steady de-
crease in resources, amounting in the
la six weeks to fi0,000,O0O. But
money remains so plentiful, so far as
the general public and business de-
mands are co..cerned, that discounts
hang at the extreme low point reached
since the war began.

Paris. March THE interesting
financial event this week was the an

II is said that the German commis ;,

embargo. These include the Credit
Lyonnais, the Banque de PARIS, the
Comptoir Descompte Of Paris ana
others, besides the Belgian credlt
banks.
The stock market has been more
active, notably during the last he" SEES

eagerly sought. There were few OF

WEEK in FINANCE
HERE And ABROAD
Stock Prices Work Higher
Better Investment
Bond Buying.
DOMESTIC TRADE
STILL BACKWARD
Steel Mill Operations Increased
Stocks of Goods Generally
Low-Buying Light.

Though tho business week closed
with the difficulties that threatened
our foreign trade rot yet removed. Sc
curities, while not very actively trad
ed in, had made a quiet advance. Bonds
as we'll as stocks were dealt in at bet
ter prices, in spite of foreign liouida-
ton, and investment buying in bonds
appeared to have been resumed. A
rather conciliatory reply from Ger
many TO our protest against her pro-
posed reckless use of submarines
against merchant vessels aided the
better feeling. In addition, rather
ureasoning bullishness. probably
based on a belief that this country
after all was not suffering greatly
from war, grew stronger, and vague
rumors of progress toward peace were
current.
Money for stock market purposes
was even easier. Call loans were made
as low as IL per cent, and the re-
newal rate on Friday got down TO ia.
Time loans on collateral were made at
about the same rates as the week be-
fore, ranging from 212 and pa per
cent, according TO maturity. Clearing
House institutions. however, reported
surplus some $5,OOO,O0O lower as result
of an expansion of loans of over s32,-
100000. with deposits correspondingly
increased and reserve stationary.
Sterling exchange was steadier dur
ing the week, getting above s4.S1 IN
the pound for sight drafts on London
and closing at that price against under
$3.50 the week before. Just as last
fall, after we had begun to ship gold
through the gold pool and on account
of New York City's debts abroad, bank
ers here found little difficulty in pri-
vately negotiating credits in London
against which they sold exchange, so IT
is understood private arrangementswe were
made for London bankers TO ease the
rates so unfavorable to them. Formal
credits here were not announced, as
had been expected in the two weeks
preceding. Opening of the Dardanelles
10 Russian grain, when accomplished,
will lessen the accumulation of Eng
lands debt here, and this was expect
ed to bring sterling rates nearer nor
NAL. The Continental exchanges also
made some recovery during the week.
Bank of England Reserve Lower.
The Bank Of England on Thursday
reported its reserve proportion re-
duced AZ per cent to about 26%, an
unusual display Of weakness. Deposit
liabilities were heavily increased, prin-
cipally through accumulation govern
ment accounts, and loans were ex-
banded. Gold holdings were reduced
nearly G4.000,000. In addition to eX-
ports to this country, it is understood
gold was set aside against purchases
in Egypt, the Argentine and else
where.
Since the end of January the Bank OF
England has been losing heavily on
what, according to its announcements
have been domestic demands. Cabled
reports show that in December, when
end of the year requirements NIGH
ordinarily be expected to cause heavy
drain on gold, net losses on interior

RAILROADS HOPE
TO REDUCE WAGES
Will Take Initiative in Campaign
to Cut Into Operating
Expenses.

The result of the arbitration of the
demands of Western railroad employees
for higher wages is awaited with keen
interest by the Eastern lines because
of the possible steps that may be taken
by their own employees.
officials of the Eastern roads, in view
of the conditions now prevailing, not
only on the less prosperous systems
but on those whose credit is better, are
determined to fight any attempts to in
crease their expense accounts. already
too large, as they say, to permit an
equitable distribution on capital. While
no definite plans have yet been laid, It
was stated yesterday that the manage
ments of the roads will not only take
the initiative TO prevent any increase
in present wages, but may soon make
public a plan to lower those already in
force.
Conferences of representatives, of the
more important roads are being held
TO discuss the question Of wages. Some
agreements with employees have re
Gently expired and others are about TO
terminate. The discussions up TO date
have principally concerned these ar
rangements, but it is believed that ac-
tive measures will be taken in the not
distant future TO lower operating costs
BY cutting into existing wages.
Naturally it is expected that such a
stand will meet with deteTmin d oppo-
stion. but by campaign of education
the railroads hope TO influence their
employees into believing that they
should be willing to accept some reduc-
tion in wages as part of the general
programme of retrenchmenL

BILL
BATTLE ON TO-DAY
Conflict Over Direct Payment
Senate Republicans Threaten
Killing Appropriation.

Albany, March THE Sage bill, APP
propriating 1925, 900 for the Workmen's
COMPENSATION Commission, with the
Assembly amendment cutting out the
direct payment provision, it is expected,
will be reported in the Senate tonight.
Senator Sage will move TO non-concur
in the amendment, and Republican
leaders in the Senate have intimated
that unless the direct payment pro-
vision is put back they will cut of the
appropriation for the commission.
"This so-called Sage rider, said
Senator Sage tonight, "was added to
the appropriation of S425,00O primarily
for decreasing the expense Of the com
mission and making it certain that the
commission could keep within the de-
creased appropriation granted. The
mistake has been made by those OPP
posed to direct settlements of assum-
ing that the original law was passed
merely in behalf of the labor unions.
Neither the unions nor the Legislature,
but the enlightened opinion of all the
people of the state, was responsible for
the enactment of the principle of this
law.
"The people are willing TO pay just
tax for injury to woTkmen. but unless

willing to pay an utterly unnecessary
! expense because some labor leader says
