HOUSE BODY HEARS
STABLE MONEY PLEA.
Varying Bases in Different
Nations Held Menace
to Commerce.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An appeal for stable money bases so
business can improve was made today
TO the House Committee trying to find
out what to do for silver.
F. H. Brownell Of the American
Smelling & Refining Co. told the Coin
age Committee the biggest obstacle to
trade revival was "the fact that many
countries now have radically different
bases for their money"
For instance, Brownell said. Mexico S
adoption of a silver standard while the
United States remained on gold "cut in
two the trade between these two ma
tions.
TT would have been impossible for
the world to go on with prices as they
were after the war without more gold
coming out of the ground" he said.
Says Prices Suffer.
Instead of gold production increas-
ing. he added, in recent years there has
been an actual decrease"
AS Colds value appreciates because
of its scarcity. he argued, commodity
prices must suffer.
Brownell said he was heartily in
sympathy with the movement for an
1nUeTIldUlOIldI COll1eTeIlCe OIL lIiOllty III
general and silver in particular"
He disagreed that it would be
necessary to discuss war debts and
reparations at such meeting.
Fears Premature Action.
He recommended.~ however, that 1t
not be called too soon.
Great Britain has not yet decided
how or when to return to a hard
money basis and probably
would not enter conference for six
months or year" he said.
Two leading bankers expressed di-
vergent views on the value of an in
ternational consultation.
L. w. Knoke of the New York Fed
eral Reserve Bank expressed the opin-
ion that war debts and reparations must
be considered at an international con-
ference called to discuss world eco
nomics and silver.
But James P Warburg, president OF
the International Acceptance Bank, dis
agreed with this view. He held that
an international gathering to discuss
silver alone would be fruitful"

Tom Haines, by virtue of weeks inactivity on the ball lot, slipped into leadership of the City League slugging race, while Andy An drews, last weeks leader, dropped back to sixth. Haines with total of 339 was a single point ahead of his teammate, George Worth.

HOME TOWN HERO

Pasadena will be the scene of the Olympic cycling races, but the natives of this suburban commun- ity well may be pardoned for manifesting more interest in the exploits of one of their sons, H. Ellsworth Vines, Jr., who will lead the U. S. Davis Cup forces into action at Paris about the same time the trumpets are being blown for the Olympic opening.
 Wines is one of the far Vests most sensational contributions to the sporting world of 1892. His triumph, along with that of an- other Californian, Helen Wills Moody, at Wimbledon, was charac- teristic of this lanky, languid youth. He has a way of giving his ad- mirers heart failure before deliv ering his knockouts in the tennis courts.
 If Vines can polish off Cochet, the Pasadena Cheering and Chow der association will let off a roar that may be heard easily in the Olympic Stadium.

going in the fifteenth and the last round of a heavyweight champion ship contest
 In the Sharkey -Schmeling affair the ballot of one of the judges in the final round was the deciding gesture in the Americans favor but this was not known until two days later.
 Under a system of posting the official score at the close of each round, the squawks and protests can be filed immediately, either by the participants or the cash trade. The advantages of this are obvious. If either boxer thinks he is getting the worst of the of ficial scoring, he at least knows it while the action is going on and thereby has an opportunity to rec tify matters with his fists before it becomes too late.
 Otherwise the gladiator might go blithely along, listening to the hoarse encouragement of his sec- onds, lulled into confidence by their optimism, only to discover they were all wrong at the finish.
