DANGER IN GOLD.

!, On the face of things one might
think that the more gold this nation
could secure and hold, the better il
would be for the business and finan-
cial interests of the United States
The prominent and leading bankers
of this country, however, declare this
is a mistake-that too much gold
would be sure to bring trouble and a
menacing danger, likely to end in ser
ious disaster. They insist that al
ready the supply of gold in this coun-
try has reached the high limit of
safety, at least for the present. And
they profess genuine alarm at what
may result should there follow furth-
er large importations of the yellow
metal sent to this land to liquidate
the already large and rapidly mount
ing balance of trade held against Eur
opean nations--notably Great Britain
due to enormous purchases of sup
plies and munitions made by the lat
ter.
Such a situation is indeed unusual
and interesting. 1t is a fact, as shown
by statistics, that this country now
holds the largest stock of gold of any
nation in the world, and the fear of
largely increasing this supply is based
an apprehension that this would lead
to a period of wild and reckless spec
ulation, a dangerous imitation OF val
ues, an increased cost of living, fic-
titious prosperity" and an almost
inevitable collapse that would give
this nation a setback which might
require years to overcome. Already
the banks are loaded up with idle
money, and the natural effort to make
these funds productive is shown IN
declining interest rates and modera'
ton of safety rules as applied to Sc
curity. A further enlargement OF the
gold supply, it is claimed, easily
might crowd this tendency to the
point of actual danger, ending in
what would be nothing short OF ma
tional calamity.
Of course, however, England must
pay her debts to this country, and il
the settlement is not to be in actual
gold, some other method must be pro-
vided. The plan which seems to be
most generally favored is to have
England establish a large American
credit, through floating loan of, say,
half billion dollars, secured by
American securities deposited in
trust. Such loan, it is claimed,
would meet with favor on the part OF
American bankers and investors, and
would solve what appears to be very
difficult problem. England has the
gold and probably could spare it to
liquidate American debts, but she, no
doubt, would also prefer to adopt the
loan plan suggested. And as the in
terests of both countries would. best
be served through the adoption OF
this plan, there seems to be no good
reason why it should not be carried
out.

TROUBLES OF JAPAN.

Japan is having her troubles, even
though that country is escaping most
Of the disturbance caused by the Eur
opean war and has been favored by
rare good fortune in carrying out her
ambitious plans with respect to the
domination of China, her big, rich
and helpless neighbor. In fact, it is
this very thing which appears to lie
at the bottom of the present most
pressing trouble of Japan. For hav-
ing practically seized China, Japan
must now maintain a considerable
military strength there. And the
stronger she keeps her armies on Chi
nese territory, and the tighter she
draws the bonds of her new control
about the great republic, the more
money it will cost and the more hos
tility she will arouse among the Chi
nese.
The principal purpose Of Japan's
seizure of China was to gain mo-
nopoly of Chinese trade, but thus far
the result has been exactly the oppo-
site. The silent boycott adopted by
Chinese merchants against Japanese
goods is reported already to have lost
Japan more than twenty million yen.
1t will be long time before the Jap
anese can overcome this boycott,
which is all the harder to combat be-
cause the Chinese will not admit that
it exists.
What Japan needs most of all is a
statesman who can save her from the
distressing financial situation that
this condition portends. He cannot
do so by taking any backward step as
regards the seizure of China, for to
do so would be to lessen Japanese
prestige in the eyes of the world and
the japanese people would not allow
it. On the other hand, to continue
the present policy in China seems to
mean nothing less than an increased
boycott. And Japan, already over
taxed to the point of exhaustion,
needs every yen that increased for
eign trade can bring her.
The choice of Count Oyuma as pre-
mier was regarded as stop-gap
merely. He made concessions to all
the leading parties, and in trying to
please everybody he seems to have
pleased nobody and is more or less
blamed by all the factions for the
present situation. The sharpness of
the political strife may be gathered
from the story that has recently come
out regarding the charges that cab
met minister accepted a $1,000 bribe.
He denied the allegation, but some Of
his opponents claimed to have the ev-
idence against him, and he resigned.
1t is seldom that news goes broad
cast regarding Japanese internal
They are so jealous of their
reputation that seldom will Japa-
nese say word against anything in
his own government that might give
ground for criticism in other lands. II
is nevertheless true that the political
feuds of Japan are deep and bitter.
and the nation is far from being uni
ted as to prompt policies to be pur-
sued. 1t indicates both the pettiness
Of japanese politics and the bitter
ness of the recent election that a cab
met crisis should be brought abou. by
such a cause. Can you think of any
other great country in the world
where it would even be charged

diminishing, though the increase
doubtless represents a gradual dimin-

the United States census showed an
Indian population of 24S,253, which
in 1910 had increased to 265,683.

Society Men To

Big Fair Parade

dom Drinks.

A. NJ. TinSley, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the street parade
during Fair week, received a letter
from r. Schmidt of st. Louis yester-
day stating that he would be in the
city Saturday to confsr with Mr.. Tins
ley and his committee Mr.. Schmidt
is an expert on entertainments of this
character, and it is quite probable that
he will be engaged to superintend the
arrangement of the parade.
Ten floats will be in the street car
nival in addition to large number of
chariots, Mr.. Tinsley said yesterday.
The parade will be given on Wedncs-
day and Friday nights. 1t will be an
elaborate affair, costing approximate
ly $500. While it will be a burlesQue
of a circus parade, it will be made one
of the stellar attractions of Fair week
Men will be dressed to impersonatc
animals. While the personnel of the
actors has not been revealed, it is
known that the human zoo will be
made up of society leaders.
Sam Sherman, social heavy weight,
it is understood, will be asked by
Chairman Tinsley to impersonate a
baby hippo. Angelo Dempsey will at
tempt to look and act like a pelican,
and Frank Kimmel will not only give
representation of a camel, but he
will demonstrate that the beast can
actually go ten days without a drink.
Mr.. Tinsley announced yesterday
that many horses and wagons had
been contributed for the parade, but
he has not yet obtained as many as
will be needed.
"This street show will be feature
of the fair that will keep the crowds in
town." said Mr.. Tinsley. at will, l
believe, prove as entertaining as the
fireworks display was last year. One
of the floats will contain several first
class acrobats who will perform as
their float is drawn through the
streets.
"Our object will be to amuSe the
people, and with the assistance of the
st. Louis expert, who is coming down
to confer with us, l am certain we
will succeed. Our floats will be strict
" high class. While the parade will be
more humorous than historic, we will
spare no effort to make it first class.
The fact that it will be funny is by no
means an indication that it will be
cheap. We propose to make it worth
seeing"

MAYOR KACE WEDS
FOUR AT One Time
Brides Become Anxious and Rush

Ceremonies.

brides in what was to have been a
double wedding, yesterday slightly
frustrated plans of a bridal party of
four principals in Mayor Kage's of
flee.
James George, % years old, with his
bride, Elite Hutchinson, 10, both of
Gale, ILL.,, and James S. Phillips, %,
with his bride, Ethel Holmes, 20, both
of Mcclure, ILL.,, came to the Cape for
a double wedding. The older couple
had obtained their license through the
Mayor last Saturday, but delayed their
wedding till the younger couple were
prepared to come along and make the
wedding twO-fold
An added feature of the double
wedding would be that the bride
groOms are half brothers.
When the couples arrived in the
Mayors office, however, with mothers
and fathers as witnesses, some little
confusion reigned.
The younger bride apparently be-
came impatient for the bridal kiss that
follows the ceremony, and she drag
ged her bridegroom before the Mayor
and had the Mayor perform their we'd
ding ceremony before the second cou-
pie were aware exactly of what was
going on.
After the first marriage in their
presence, the second couple hastened
to have the Mayor repeat the perform

MANS THROAT CUT
IN A STREET FIGHT
David L. Smith Says Jimmie
Clark Stabbed him When he
Asked Peace.

In an alteration that grew out of
a quarrel between John Bechle and
his son-in-law, Jimmie Clark, at the
corner of Good Hope and Sprigg
streets yesterday afternoon, David l..
Smith, teamster, living on South
Sprigg street, who was an onlooker,
had his throat slashed wide open.
Clark was arrested and charged
with the cutting after the police had
heard the statements of Smith, Bechle
and several other witnesses.
He will have a hearing in Police
Court this morning. Clark denies that
he did the cutting and that he had car
ried knife.
Clark is an emplOye at the Frisco
shops and Bechle, his father-in-law, is
employed at Haas Brothers saloon on
the corner of Sprigg and Good Hope
streets. Yesterday afternoon Clark and
Bechle became engaged in a quarrel
over family matters. About o'clock
Clark became angry at something
Bechle said to him, and seizing him
by the arm, threw him from the side
walk into the street
Smith was standing nearby talking
to another man on a business matter
they were about to conclude. Smith
last night spoke up merely with the
notion of trying to settle the difficulty
between father and SOn-in-law.
81 wouldn't treat the old man that
way" he admonished Clark.
Bechle is about 55 years old and
Clark is young man about 30.
Clark left and few moments later
reappeared at the corner, and going
up to Smith said, according to wit
nesses: "And l don't want any more
of your talk in this either"
Smith had been sitting down and as
Clark approached him, he rose to his
| feet.
81 haven't any interest in the quar-
rel between you and Bechle," he said,
beyond to patch up the difference" D."
Clark placed his left hand on Smiths
chest, Smith said, and with the other
hand made a slash at him. Smith said
he saw the knife in Clark's hand.
After Smith had been cut, Clark fled
and subsequently was arrested while
sitting in a barber shop further down
the street.
He denied that he had a knife in his
hand and said that he simply had
struck at Smith with his fist.
Smith was taken to a physicians
office nearby by bystanders, where ii
was found he had knife wound about
four inches long extending from under
the left ear around to point under
she chin. The blade of the knife had
penetrated from quarter to half
an inch.
Smith is not in danger from the
wound, but it is said to be a serious
cut.
Clark was released on $100 bono
signed by F. F. Braun.
