HIS OWN LIFE BY
SHOT in HEAD

The body of W. ]. Smith was found
at about one o'clock today in the pine
woods belonging to the Patterson es-
tate, between Lake Morton and Flor
ida avenue Mr.. Smith had been shot
through the head from the rightaside
and all indications point to suicide.
Mr.. Smith, who was a resident of
Clearwater, was an uncle of Clarence
E. Smith, at whose home he had been
a guest for the past six weeks while
under the care of a Lakeland physi-
clan. He had been in ill-health and
consequent dependency for a long
time. He left the house of his nephew
between $3.50 and 900 o'clock this
morning, as was his usual custom, and
no uneasiness was felt over his
whereabouts until he failed to return
at noon, when a search was instituted.
In the meantime, the body had been
discovered by a passerby, who re-
ported the matter to Mr.. higgins, who
notified the authorities. A coroner's
jury has been empanelled and is still
in session at this writing.

MANY LEAGUES WILL
MEET in NEW YORK
Annual Pow-W Wow of BASEBALL Moguls
Are Expected to Result IN
Numerous Trades.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-Moguls and
near nnoguls of the big and near-big
leagues in baseball moved into New
York today for the annual league
pow-wow, which is expected 10 last
throughout the week and result in a
number Of trades and purchases af-
fecting well known diamond stars.
The International league will hold
it's annual meeting tomorrow, the Ma
tional league gathering is scheduled
for Tuesday, the American for Wednes-
day and the joint major meeting for
Thursday.
The deals in which the New York
Giants and Cincinnati club figured
during the minor leagues confab at
Buffalo last week were only forerun-
ners it was said, Of wholesale pur-
chases and trades to be arranged here.
The Philadelphia club, President Baker
said, expects to buy several players,
while the Pirates. Red and Chicago
Cubs also are In the market for new
talent 10 bolster up their squads.
President Veeck OF the Cubs said he
had no men to trade but that he was
eager to acquire at least three new
PLAYERS.
The 1-umored deal between the Yam
KEGS and Detroit in witch Bob Veach
and Howard Ehmke would come to
New York in exchange for Johnny
Mitchell and a young pitcher I'M
named, with perhaps cash turnover,
may materialize when Manager Cobb
arrives tomorrow. At least this was
the belief of Miller Higgins, the Yam
kee leader.
While there is dissatisfaction in the
majors over the manner in which the
optional draft is working, with COM
plants over the high prices asked by
the larger minors for star players, all
Of the meetings here are expected to
he harmonious. The clashes between
the triple alliance of the Yankees,
White Sox and Red Sox, and Ban
Johnson and his loyal five" which
kept the American league meetings in
a turmoil during the last two winters,
are not expected to be resumed. Judge
Lands was given credit by baseball
leaders for the present tranquility.
The International league probably
win do little more than ponder over
the suggestion by Judge Lands, that
the great wall built around minor
league PLAYERS OF class IA, be removed
as sentiment in the league against
the draft remains strong.
Only routine matters are scheduled
for discussions as to meetings Of the
American and National leagues, and
the one interesting subject promised
for their joint conference is prices
asked by minor leagues for their
players.

restrict the personnel Of the bank to
rdivlduals Of the stature Of clerks and
routineers. On tho other hand pub
lie officials have right to know
whether the Treasury Is being deprived
OF funds through needlessly padded
pay rolls in any one Of the twelve
regional banks
Speculative borrowers encountered q
period of moderate stringency in the
money market last week. The drain of
funds to the interior of the country to
meet crop moving and other REQUIRE
ments and the heavy Withdrawals by
the Treasury from New York banks
combined TO tighten the situation suf.
ticiently to force call loan rates TO G
per cent ut the Stock Exchange. At
the end of the week the Treasury with
drew $117,000000 from the banks to
retire m issue Of certificates Of indebt-
edness, and preparations by the banks
to meet this demand constituted an i'm
portant factor in curtailing Temporarily
the supply Of loanable funds. However.
as the week closed the situation eased
and the disbursement Of q largo volume
Of funds by tlsc government which it
Withdrew from the banks is likely to
make for more abundant money supply
for the next few days at least. Funda-
mentally. there has been no important
change in the general credit situation.
The long trend of rates is downward.
indicative OF the greater ease Of the
commercial credit market is the fact
that discount rates for prime bankers
acceptances have declined l per cent
during the last four months. Tho rate
on June Is for all maturties up to
ninety days stood at 51a per cent,
compared with Ala per cent at present.
Whilo the other European exchanges
moved upward, the mark tumbled pre-
cipitately. At the close of the week
il was quoted at the lowest level in
history. The hope that some magic de-
velopment would stop the decline of the
mark into the pit OF worthlessness is
gradually disappearing.
In G sense, Arthur Richman has
dramatized the investment information
column in his new play, "The Ambush"
which the Theater Guild first presented
last week. Although the play Is pri-
narily story of the interference of
circumstances with the ideals OF
middle-class clerk, one Of the main in
cidents deals with the rise and fall Of
Magnifcus Oil. The central character
Of the drama, against his own iudg~
ment, exchanges United States Treas
ury notes for shares in the new petro-
leum companies. To the get-rich quick
assurances of the suave stock sales
men he was adamant But he yielded
to the sordid, unintelligent, grasping
impulses Of his wife and daughter.
This familiar enough stage occurrence
suggests why it is difficult to legislate
financial irregularities out OF existence
Ordinarily the factors which help to
turn would-be investors into victims
are inward and originate in their own
