ground had been graded and surfaced.
Early in the season It was seeded and
trees and shrubbery planted. A backstop

COLBY TO RESIGN POST.
Shipping Board Head Wants to Return
10 Practice of Law.

Washington, Jan. I4-Bainhridgc
Colby of New York, for more than u
year member of the United States
Shipping Board, will resign in tho near
future, it was learned ON good authority
today. Mr.. Colby, it is understood, de-
srcs TO return to the practice of law in
New York, where he was at one time n
Progressive leader
Several weeks ago Mr.. Colby told
friends he wanted to return to private
life now that the war was ended, and
hoped to leave soon after the first of the
year He has not yet rendered his rosig-
nation, however. 1t is expected that MIR
Colby will net leave before the return of
Chairman Hurley of the board, who has
been in Europe for a month, and posi-
bly, of the President.
Though no reason has been given for
the privately announced intention of Mr.
Colby 10 resign other than his desire to
return TO his law practice, it is known
that his views ON several phases of the
shipping question do not coincide fully
with those of Chairman Hurley, who
always has been dominant factor. This
has been made apparent in many ways
IN recent weeks.

MUTUAL GOLD FUND

Washington, Jan. I4.-Establish-

nate the necessity OF shipping quantities
Of gold between countries is under dis
cusslon among financial advisers Of the
allied governments and may he planned
at the forthcoming Peace Conference
The purpose Of this fund, which prob
ably would be deposited in trust with
the Bank OF England, would be to form
the basis for credit Transactions between
nations IN the Same way by which the
American Federal Reserve svstem's gold
settlement fund now constitutes the
basis for transfers Of credit among re-
serve banks, making IT unnecessary to
transfer gold within the country. Ex-
change balances between countries, in
stead of being settled by actually ship
ping gold, as would be done in normal
times, would he arranged by simple book
transactions, with the ear-narked gold
as guarantee
Allied financiers propose tentatively
that half billion dollars be the maxi
mum size of the fund at first and that
neutral countries be admitted if they
choose 10 participate Eventually this
might become All international gold pool,
guaranteeing exchange clearIngs among
all countries.
The United States contribution to the
fund rs now discussed probably would
not be more than $500, ,0O0, 900. The gov
crnmcnt now holds in Treasury vaults
more than 81 500 600, 900 gold, Of which
81 1893, ,O0O, 600 is in the Federal Reserve
gold settlement fund and SS82 900 900 as

only for current transactions, not 20
