MANILA, p. J., Oct. 10.-A
gold rush of big proportions was
stimulated both in the mountains
of northern Luzon and in Manila
by the order Of President Roose-
welt opening the higher-priced for
eign markets to the output of
mines in the United States and
possessions.
In the mountains the activities
of prospectors brought dispute
with Igorote tribesmen which
threatened to develop violence.
Share Market Active
At Manila millions of shares of
stock, in concerns with actually
producing mines and in Others
more recently-organized to ex-
plot claims, have changed hands.
In one recent week transactions
in mining shares on the Manila
stock exchange totalled 2,25O.OOl
shares.
The par value of most of the
securities is small, ranging from
five to fifty cents in American
currency, but the quotations on
the stock Of the two chief produc.
ing concerns. Benguet Consolidated
and Balatoc Mining, reached up
to SIS a share.
Isorotes Guard Rice Crop
The stock is distributed among
many thousands of Filipinos and
Americans, but some Of the re.
cent speculative buying has been
for Hong Kong and Shanghai pur-
chasers, brokers stated.
. Visions of war between the
Igorotes, diminutive half-wild
tribesmen, and the "wild cat
prospectors, reminiscent Of the
clashes between prospectors and
Indians in the American west Of
another day, were aroused by
urgent appeals from the Bontoc
country to Manila representatives
Provincial and constabulary off
GERS were directed to take steps
to prevent an outbreak.
The prospectors, it was claimed,
trampled the laboriously-con-
structed rice terraces Of the Igo-
rotes on the mountain sides in
stalking claims and digging tun-
nels.
Representative Hilary Clapp.
an Igorote, went to the
Bontoc section in response to q
report that 1000 Of the tribesmen
were disaffected. and that 500
had threatened to attack laborers
at one tunnel.
The known gold-producing area
is near Baguio. q mountain resort
about $50 miles north of Manila
and it has been staked out for,
many years. Several thousand
workers are employed.
Gold exports from the Philip
pines in 1882 were valued at s5.-I
O36.12 and since 1899 the gold
shipped from the islands has.
brought more than $4s.000.O00.

PRESIDENT PLANS TRIP ON YACHT
AS SOON AS CONGRESS ADJOURNS
Roosevelt to Be Accompanied by Three Sons on Cruise
Along New England Coast.

President Roosevelt plans to leave
Washington as soon as the special ses-
sion of Congress ends for a week or
10 days of cruising aboard sailing
yacht of the New England coast.
In announcing this at the White
House today, it was said the President
has arranged to use 45-foot sailing
yacht named Amberjack II, owned by
Paul D. Rust, jr. The yacht is kept
at Marblehead, Mass The President
expects most of his family will ac-
company him. ..
The cruise will be from Marblehead
up the coast to Campobello, the New
Brunswick Summer home Of the Presi-
dents mother, Mrs. James Roosevelt.
1t was at this place that the President
spent many happy Summers as young
man and there he learned to sail boats
and acquired his great love for the
water.
From present indications. the Presi-
dent hopes to leave for the trip about
the last week in June

SENATE TEST DUE
. ON IMITATION PLAN
Frazier to Offer Substitute
Farm Mortgage Plan
for Direct Vote.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A direct test vote on imitation i'm
pended in the Senate today as mem
bers resumed consideration of the
sweeping administration farm pro-
gram, with its varied machinery fol
lifting prices to 1909-19l4 levels and
refinancing agricultural debts.
AS substitute for the Roosevelt
mortgage plan, Senator Frazier, Re-
publican, Of North Dakota planned to
offer his bill to refinance farm debts
at 11a per cent interest and yearly
payment OF "a per cent on the princi-
pal, employing broad imitation to cover
the financing.
Fraziers proposal provides for issu-
ing bonds sufficient to meet the esti-
mated $500. .00O,000 in farm mortgage
Indebtedness, with the stipulation that
be converted into currency.
Currency imitation was recommended
to the Senate by the unanimous vote of
its Agriculture Committee as the main
hope for permanent and substantial
relief for agriculture. 49,
Proponents, however, expected de-
feat Of the plan.
New Pitfalls Faced.
A maze of amendments set new pit
falls for the once-beaten administra-
ton forces as the Senate moved steadily
toward a final vote on the farm relief
program.
With Republican sniping becoming
more active and Western Democrats
breaking ranks, party leaders faced
tests in voting on the amendments
which included a Republican substitute
for the Roosevelt price lifting plan and
the inf1ationary proposals
The next section coming up in the
Senate was the mortgage refinancing
part of the program. This section, con-
sidered separately, rode high and wide
through the House yesterday on a 387-
to-12 vote.
The House now has voted separately
on the Roosevelt farm price-lifting and
mortgage refinancing plans and now is
aligning its forces to down the produc-
ton cost plan when it returns to them
as Senate change in the price-lifting
bill. The Senate Is considering both as
one measure. The Simpson Norris plan
went in on 47-to-41 vote-the admin
istration's first setback.
After the Senate has had a final vote
on the entire program, 1t must 60 back
to the House for concurrence in amend
ments and 1t is there that efforts will
be made to hold the program to ad-
ministration wishes.

NEW YORK, April 14.-William c.
Boyer director of the Bureau of Mu-
nicipal Research of Philadelphia, told
the Northeastern group of the American
Political Science Association today that
many business men prefer to have gov
ernment weak, inefficient and even dis
honest
He asserted it is a mistake to think
any reforms other than mere cost slash
ing would come out of what he called
the virtual dictatorship" of bankers in
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and
Detroit.
When one considers the extent to
which business men have bought favors

In addition to this, the reduction

will mean that now undetermined
number of additional men, who are

Is sliced from $29000o (the figure in

AGREE ON 2-CENT
LOCAL MAIL RATE
Post Office Officials and
House Leaders Confer
With Roosevelt.

House leaders and Post Office officials
agreed at a conference with President
Roosevelt today on reduction in local
letter postage to 2 cents, with au-
thority for the President to raise or
lower the postal rates generally
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee and Post
master General Farley headed the
delegation consulting with the President.
Arrangements were made for immediate
introduction of the new postal legisla-
ton.
The drop" letters are those which
are delivered within a city in which
they are mailed or within the post Of
flee district in which they are posted.

The present Scent rate would be
maintained for letters going out of a
city of origin.

Office Committee, Representative Ragon
OF Arkansas, member of the Ways and
Means Committee: Joseph C.. O'Maho-
ney. First Assistant Postmaster General,
and Director Douglas of the Budget
were the others attending the meeting.
1T Is our hope" explained O'Mahoney,
that the lower rates will increase busi-
ness and stimulate revenues. Anyway
we are going to try it for the period of
a year with provision for the President
to raise. rates or lower them further If
necessary"
1t is likely the postal legislation will
be combined with the proposed bill to
continue the Federal gasoline tax for
another year.
Reduction for Ali U. S. Aim"
Cali users of the mail will recognise
the fact that If this reduction should
actually result in increased revenue for
the Post Office Department, the Presi-
dent will then have ample ground upon
which to direct the restoration of the
2-cent postage rate for all first-clasS
mall" the Postmaster General said yes
terday in announcing the cut in the
local rate we contemplated.
The three-cent postage rate has been
a bone Of contention ever since it went
into effect for two-year period last
July. Congressional opponents, among
them Mr.. Mead have insisted that
1t was driving away business. Post
master General Brown, Farley's prede-
cessor, who did not favor the rate
except as an emergency measure, in
sisted, however. that despite any loss
of volume it might be causing. it was
producing approximately 100000 900
