Denver-The stock of gold now
stored In the Denver mint by the
United States government is the larg.
est on deposit in any government
mint or subtreasury in the country.
This condition has been brought
about by the European war. Until re-
Gently the subtreasury in New York
and the mint in San Francisco had
the largest amount of gold. This was
due to foreign exchange and the re-
ceipt Of gold from Europe and Asia
at these ports.
Little gold has come from foreign
countries since the war began and as
a result the stock In the Denver mint
now is larger than in either the New
York subtreasury or the San Fran.
cisco mint.
The gold on hand at the Denver
mint Is $4G5O00,o0O. 1t comprises
about one-third Of the governments
entire gold reserve. Deposits of bull
lion at the local mint have been In
creasing lately. .-s.-.
The gold now stored in the Denver
mint is not. however. the largest
amount ever held there at one time
Several years ago 1t reached s2S,00O..
900. the largest amount stored under
any one roof In the world. The gov
ernment removed large stocks of gold
to Denver from San Francisco at
that time on account OF danger of
trouble between this country and

Washington, May "a note cabled
by Secretary Lansing to Ambassador
Gerard for delivery to the Berlin for
eign office informs the German gov
ernment that the United States ae-
cepts its declaration OF abandon
ment" OF its former submarine policy
and now relies upon scrupulous eS-
ecution of the altered policy to re-
move the principal danger of an inter
rrption OF the good relations existing
between the two countries.
With this acceptance is coupled
formal notice to Germany that the
United States cannot for moment
entertain, much less discuss, sug-
eestion that respect by German naval
authorities of the rights of citizens OF
the United States on the high seas
should In the slightest degree be
made contingent upon the conduct OF
any other government affecting the
rights of neutrals and non-combat-
ants.
Secretary Lansing issued state
ment saying that the greater part OF
Germany's answer to the demand OF
the United States was devoted to
matters which the American govern
ment could not discuss with the Ber.
lin government, but he considered
Germany had yielded to our repre-
sentations" and that I'VE can have
no reason to quarrel with her" so long
as the altered policy is lived up to.
London. The correspondent at Rot
terdam of the Exchange Telegraph
Company cabled the following:
"On the occasion of the Easter
Festival Emperor william sent an au'
tograph letter to Pope Benedict ex.
pressing the hope that the Pontiff,
with the King of Spain, would be able
to construct a scheme, with the OBJ.
ject of bringing together, under the
auspicious emblem of the dove and
olive branch. a conference Of bellig.
erents, for consideration of an imme.
date armistice, in the fervent hope OF
securing an early peace without det.
riment to the legitimate aspirations
Of nationalities'."
The correspondent says he obtains
this information from a circular just
issued by the German Humanity
League. The circular also says con.
siderable significance is attached to
the arrival in Rome Of ENJOYS from
the kings of Bavaria and Saxony who
had prolonged audiences with Cardi.

the German-American controversy is

The newspapers are discussing the
possibility that President Wilson may
prove acceptable to Germany as a
peace mediator when the time comes
to end the worldwar Certain of
the papers, commenting guardedly,
point out that the peace reference In

can executive an opportunity to make

COUNCIL WILL
NOT BUY PARK
Decision Reached at Adjourned Meet
ing-Will Tile Ditch in Jones
Addition.

The City Council in adjourned ses
sion yesterday reached final deci
sion upon the question of the purchase
by the City of a park site in the
Barnes and Phillips addition to Con.
gress Heights and the matter of fill.
ing the ditch through the Jones Ad.
dition in the eastern part of the city
1t was decided that the city could
not afford to buy the park. The City
Engineer informed the Council that
it would cost approximately $500 to
drain the location before it could be
used, which cost added to the original
purchase price, made the property
too high, in the estimation of the
Councilmen.
The ditch through the Jones Addi-
tion will be tiled and filled. It is a
natural drainage for that part of the
city and cannot be filled without TIL
ing placed in it. The ditch has been
there for years. The city recently
cleaned it out and deepened it. The
property owners wanted the city to
put in the tiling and fill it at the
city's expense, but a compromise has
been reached whereby the expenses
will be divided.

DEATH TOLL FROM TRESPASS
ING ON SOUTHERN RY.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 20.-Death over
took IVA persons, while walking on
tracks, swinging trains, or otherwise
trespassing on the property of the
Southern Railway during the year
ended June 3Oth.
Despite the warning of its dangers,
the practice Of trespassing on rail-
road property seems on the increase.
For the three previous years the num-
Der of trespassers killed on the South
ern was as follows: 1913-155; 1914
1875; 1ol5-146, making with 1916 a to-
tai of Col lives sacrificed to careless
ness.
Statistics show that the great ma
jority Of railroad trespassers killed
are useful citizens. Wage earners,
using the tracks while walking to and
from their work, furnish large pro-
portion, while fully third are school
boys, killed while hopping" trains.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.

New Orleans, Sept. 21.-Liverpool
lost good deal in parity in the last
two days, as that market dropped Is
points yesterday and again seven this
morning, against decline of twenty
points in our market. Spot prices are
quoted down, sales 1000 bales.
The generally lower spot quotations
in the South yesterday, reflect an cas-
ier spot situation, which can logically
be ascribed to the very favorable
weather prevailing over the belt. De-
velopments in this direction were bet
ter than expected. This disturbance
in the southeast is stationary over
southern Florida and the shows gen
orally fair and warmer weather over
the belt with no indication for any
immediate change. However, some
cloudiness and cooler weather may
come to Arkansas and west Tennes-
see. With such conditions harvesting
OF the crop must be progressing well
and large ginnings may be expected

Our market opened 2 higher to 8
lower, lost ten to twelve points after
