REACTION Will COME
Business Depression Will Follow War
Says Taft to Bankers.

San Francisco, Sept. 14.-Warning
to business interests that serious
business depression in the United
States will follow the conclusion OF the
European war. was uttered by Former
President William Howard Taft Mon
dav before a gathering of bankers IN
the Ohio state building at the EXPOSE
ton.
'I do not subscribe to the elatlon
eyinced by the headlines OF the press
over the harvest of dollars by reason
of the war" said Judge Tart Inc
reaction will be much more severe.
The former president declared the
present situation of the united states
in regard to the war to he "crlucal,
but expressed the belief that 1T would
be smoothed out. He advised the
bankers to reef their sails" in prep
aration for the prophesied reaction, as
the business stability of the country
would rest in their hands THE pres
ent banking acts need amendment
from a Republican standpoint" he
said. Judge Taft also complimented
the Ohio commissioners in the highest
terms both for the beauty and conduct
of their building, and for the con-
structive showing which the Buckeye
state is making at the exposition 1t
made him feel proud to be an Oh1oan,
he said.

CUT DIAMONDS
FOrty-Seven of Them Set in Case
of Watch Valued at $500.
Gift to l.. T. Cooper on Account
of His Premier Preparation.

One of the greatest acts of appre-
citation received by Mr.. Cooper, the
reputation on account of the relief his
remedy, Tanlac, has given to thou
sands throughout the United States, is
a very handsome watch, it is valued
seven fIawless cut diamonds are i'm
bedded in it's gold case, not to men
ton it's equipment of pigeon-blood
ruby jewels. This beautiful timepiece
is exquisitely embellished with orna-
mentation of foreign workmanship
and contains finest Swiss movements.
1t is really worth seeing.
According to Mr.. Cooper, the watch
came into his possession through the
merits of Tanlac. 1t happened, so he
says, about this way:
In one of the large cities visited by
Mr.. Cooper some time ago, the young
son of wealthy jeweler suffered
from a complaint which had baffled
physicians of the city and eastern
specialists. The boy was anaemic,
listless, and not at all playful and as
lively as the other little fellows of his
own age. The parent said that the
ch1ld's appetite was irregular, at times
ravenous, and complained of a witch
ing sensation most of the time. Itching
of the nose and dizziness were other
symptoms enumerated by the jeweler.
HE asked me- said Mr.. Cooper, eff
1 thought Tanlac would help his child.
LII reply L stated II1dl ne COul0 test the
medicine on it's own merits. The re-
suit was he bought Tanlac for his son.
Thinking nothing particularly of
the incident, 1 was a little surprised
few months later to receive a letter
from the jeweler stating that Tanlac
had relieved his son who was now
rosy and running about like the rest
of the boys and asking me if 1 would
accept a small token of his appre-
ciation.' 1 answered his letter, telling
him that while I would appreciate his
gift, the fact that Tanlac had accom-
plished the right results in his child's
case was sufficiently gratifying to me.
Shortly afterward this beautiful
watch came. You can imagine my
surprise. To me this gift is invaluable,
because it bears a double meaning"

FRAT HEAD
IN favor OF PEACE
Fultz Declares Agreement Should Be
Made Without Delay to
Protect Game.

New York. March 2l-David L. Fultz,
president of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity, issued the following statement
today:
IF the guardians. of the game of base
ball. the National. the American and the
Federal League owners, wish to rescue
the sport from an irreparable injury they
will conclude peace without further de-
lay no matter if each side must swallow
a little pride in doing SO. These three
leagues are well backed and could no
doubt go on fighting indefinitely.
IF they cannot reach an agreement
among themselves. let them appoint a
board of arbitrator with power to settle
territorial rights and the rights to play
ers. Let this board also have power to
outline the broad principles which should
govern baseball in the future and the
composition of future governing body.
which should contain a substantial rep
resentation from the minor leagues.
1T is absolutely out Of the question
to expect baseball to be run without
a supreme organization and We don't I'M
derstand that even the Federal League,
which is now attempting to dissolve the
national agreement, has any such eXpec-
tation. The national agreement contains
some bad provisions. But 1t was. when
framed. unquestionably long step in the
right direction. Baseball cannot exist
indefinitely where there is unrestricted
competition"

YACHTSMEN REVIVE
BIG BERMUDA RACE
Yachts Will Go from Bay Ridge to
St. David's HeadHAquatic
Event Comes to Life.

New York, March 2l.-There will be
revival of the Bermuda race this year.
For various reasons this contest, which
begun so well some years ago, fell off
in popularity. and it is thought that the
rules of measurement and the time al
lowance tables were chiefly responsible
for this lack of interest. Under the last
rules it was claimed by owners of fair
sized boats that they had no chance Of
success against smaller craft because the
time allowance was excessive. Now the
rules have been changed. 1t taking the
horsepower of the engines the number of
revolutions a minute are taken into con-
sideration, and thus the actual rating Of
the engine can be figured.
During the recent motorboat show
Capt. Thomas Fleming Day was so
pleased With the model and arrange
ments OF the Cruisette that he agreed to
demonstrate the seaworthiness Of that
boat by taking it to Bermuda and max
Gulf Stream. Later Capt. Day thought
1t would be a good opportunity to make
a race and he said he was willing to race
anything under any conditions. Now 1t
has been decided that the annual Ber-
muda race for the Bennett cup shall be
revived and the Cruisette will start in
that event. A boat is being built by the
Company dl
ford. which also will enter. and it Is
said that Samuel Cochran will start the
Eronel. which was built in 1910 and won
the race that year.
meeting of those interested was held
at the Rudder office last week. and
committee appointed to frame the rules
and to specify carefully what the boats
are to carry in the way of safety appli-
ances. 1t also was suggested that il pos
sible only boats under forty-five feet in
length should be allowed to start, and
if that arrangement were made then the
time allowance should be 80 per cent of
the full allowance according to the pres
cnt rules. The records of the long-dis-
lance races show that so per cent OF the
full allowance makes a better and
fairer race.
The race is to be started from line
Bay Ridge on Saturday. May %, at
O'Clock, ard the finish will be of st.
Davids Head. Bermuda.
The Cruisettc is thirty-two-foot boat.
equipped with a three-cylinder iS-horse
power Lamb engine. The new boat Is to
be forty feet long and equipped with an
ls-horsepower Mianus engine. This boat
is for W. p. Frost
Now that a committee has the race in
hand. 1t is expected that there will be
other yachtsmen who will be willing to
start in this event. and owners of boats
about forty feet in length will be pleased
with the conditions. because the starters
being about the same size will be more
evenly matched
