Japanese Bank President Warns
 His Colleagues

Tokio, June 9 - The unfavorabie economic position of Japan at pres ent shown by the decrease in the specie reserves abroad. the decrease of deposits and increase of advances, the adverse trade balance and the reductions of dividends paid by the chief industrial concerns from an aver age of 34 per cent tO IA per cent low figure here, continues to occupy the minds of the bankers. At a meet ing of the Banking Syndicate held he-e on April 21st. Junnosule Inouye, President of the Bank of Japan, warned his colleagues against a re striction of advances to reliable con- cerns, while SeicfIiro Kinura, vice president of the same bank, warned the meeting that the worst culmina- ton of the situation could only be averted by the most judicious activity Of the bankers
 President ino1Iye said: 'sSince the ba1krRptcy of a certain Osaka specu- lator recently, the bankers in Osaka have been naturally but unwisely in cined to refrain from investment, even in the enterprises of the most relia- ble character This nervous ten dency of the bankers seems to be besinning to mark the attitude of the Tokio bankers as we'll Such an inju udioious restriction placed on bank advances would prove no less fatal than a bold attempt to invest in en- nature .and would only aggravate the existing economic condition"

Genoa, June - Gianni Capronf, She Italian airp1ane inventor and con- sructor, considers the United States today to be the best field in the world for the development of civilian avia- uon- He prepared and brought to Genoa a comprehensive program for aerial communication over Europe, but this will hvae to wait, he said to- day, owing to the limited financial strength of the various countries eIn- braced in his scheme.

OLD BILL HAMILToN's STRANGE
DUEL WITH AN ENGLISHMAN

One of the greatest of the old-time
mountain men In western history was
William L. Hamilton, or "Old Bill'
Hamilton as he was known in the
early days in Montana. His strange
duel with an EngliShman is historic.
Old Bill had offended the Englishman
in some way, and the Britisher chal-
lenged him to a duel.
"All right; I'll fight you!" said Old
Bill. But l get to name the weap-
ons and rules for the fight"
The Englishman agreed, and this
Is what Hamilton decided: Each man
was to strip to the skin, go out to the
Yellowstone river, and with an ak
chop hole In the ice. Then the two
men were to get down In these holes
and sit In the water up to their Shout
ders. The first to leave this icy bath
was the loser.
The contest began. The Englishman
stood 1t for a few minutes. Then
with q wild yell he leaped out and,
with his teeth chattering, ran for
house and stove as fast as he could.
Old Bill followed close on his heels,
calling the shivering Britisher every
name In his vocabulary. Old Bill was
declared winner Of the duel. 1t had
been no hardship for Hamilton. He
had lived among the Indians and was
as hardy as they. He is said to have
been the only white man Of his time
who could strip naked, take bow and
arrows and shoot buffalo from horse
back as well as the savages. with
whom he lived.
Hamilton finally settled down at
Fort Benton, Mont, where he opened
a log cabin hotel and butcher shop.
The governor of Montana appointed
him sheriff Of Choteau county, and he
was also a deputy United States mar
shall. In 1865 the governor asked him
to visit the Grow and Gros Ventre In
dams and persuade them to come IN
to Fort Benton to make peace.
"But how can l go?' said Old Bill.
II have to look after my eatin' house
and butcher shop and tend to my duties
as sheriff and marshal. I've got two
prisoners on hand now and no jail to
keep 'em In"
Finally he consented and, accom-
panied only by an Indian boy. he made
the dangerous trip. After a series Of
exciting adventures he returned in
safety, bringing the two tribes with
him TO the council.
Old Bill died in 1908 at the age Of
eighty-six. He was always proud of
the fact that he had been a scout for
the United States army, and to the
day Of his death he kept the Stars
and Stripes floating over the little log
cabin where he lived.

From Messenger to General.

General Pellegrin, who has just been
appointed to the command of the
thirteenth division Of French infantry,
With headquarters at Langres, Is q
living proof of the possibility Of ris-
ing by unaided effort, which Napoleon
crystallized into the saying that every
French soldier carried a marshal's
baton in his haversack.
General Pellegrin, whose parents
were In very poor circumstances, be-
gan life as q telegraph messenger ut
Marseilles. He scraped and saved so
rs to be able to buy books, which he
studied at night after his days work
for the postoffice was finished. He
took his baccalaureate, got into the
military college at Saint-Cyr, obtained
his commission with flying colors and
passed the Ecole de Guerre. or stan
college. He took part in the opera
lions In Morocco In 1907, was badly
wounded at the battle Of the Marine,
and afterwards returned to Morocco
where he became one Of Marshal
Lyautey's most valued assistants.

ADVICE WELL WORTH TAKING
Ne Doubt Driver Of Car Realized
Afterward That His Sarcasm
Really Was Wasted.

A big passenger car was a victim
Of the sleet In Central avenue. The
driver tried valiantly to keep 1t In
the middle Of the street, but one hind
wheel slipped over a little, the driver
tried to stop the boat" the rear
wheel slid along the car track-well,
auto drivers know the rest.
When the car stopped sliding Its
two rear wheels rested against the
curb and its two front ones were on
tie car track. Then ensued much
speeding up Of the engine and much
whizzing Of rear WHEELS, but no for
ward movement
"What's the matter; trying to get
away from the curbT a bystander
asked
"Oh, no, I'm polishing the pavement
so the kids can have some fun" sar-
castically exclaimed the driver Of the
car.
"Well, II you'll just cut that engine
down and slip her out Of high into
low, I'll give you a little shove and
you'll walk right away from the curb, "
the interloper said.
The advice was followed, the wheels
ceased their mad whirl and the car
under the gentle urge Of the bystander,
moved away.-Indianapo News.
