 London, May s.-(UP)-The world of finance watched the Dutch ixuilder with the keenest anxiety koday. believing that activities of kpeculators in the foreign exchange market, combined with large with drawals of gold for hoarding. and the continued flight of gold from Holland, might cause the Dutch government to declare an embargo on the yellow metal.
 Such a course would lead to the abandonment of tho gold standard by France, Belgium, and Switzer- land, the only other important countries remaining on gold, ex- change experts feared.
 Holland was putting up stub- born fight to maintain the position of the guilder or f1orin, which has been considered the worlds strong est currency because 1t is almost completely covered by gold re- serves. Dutch commercial banks widened the discount rate on future dealings on the guilder and in some cases restricted dealings to bona fide trade transactions.
 If the outflow of gold continued spectators would pay the extra discount to continue their raids, it was forecast.
 The guilder opened in London today at $40 to the pound, com pared to yesterdays close of 8.39. The French franc fell 3-16s to 86 10 the pound. The American dol- lar, meanwhile, was gaining strength rapidly. Continental spec ulators, it was evident, were raid- ing the gold currencies. The guilder sank to S.44 by noon and the franc to 86 IA.
 The flight of Dutch gold reached new heights yesterday with heavy private purchases. Even peasants were lined up in front of banks to buy gold coins in large quantities.
 It was suggested that Holland might follow Frances example and obtain large foreign loan with which to support the guilder.
 The London Daily Express under dle Begins" pointed out that a great international scramble for gold was under way.
 
 informed the United States was about to establish an exchange equalization fund similar to the one of the Bank of England. The amount would be $4,00O,000,0 ,000 and it would be used to buy gold, the paper said.
 Pointing out that the British fund and the fund 1t said America was planning would be more than sufficient to buy all the gold in the world. the Express urged Britain and the United States to call off gold buying programs and end the situation.
 The Daily Mail predicted all na- tions still on the gold standard would devalorize thier currencies because of American imitation.

Congress Passed Blue Sky" Bill and Is Ready to GO After High Sal= aried Men
By LYLE c. WILSON


 Limited Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, May 9- UP) = Encouraging symptoms of business revival find congress hard at the problem of protecting American investors from past and future mis- takes.
 The administrations "Blue Sky" Bill, which has passed both houses and now is ready for conference for composition of minor differ ences, is but one of the safeguards being erected.
 Senator Costigan, dem., Colo, has initiated an inquiry into the salaries, bonuses and other per- quisites of American industrial and business leaders. He has pending in the senate resolution which would require federal agencies to report to the senate the salaries and other emoluments of the men at the top of industry and finance. Costigan believes vast and per- haps undeserved sums are being paid to coropate leaders without the knowledge of stock holders. His resolution is in line with a senate bill passed last week which forbade Reconstruction Finance
  corporations loans to any corpora tion which pays individual salaries or bonuses in excess of $15000 a year.
 The administrators bill regulate stock and commodity exchanges has not yet been introduced. A tentative program drawn by Sam uel Untermyer would reach the exchanges through the post office department, which would enforce it's regulations through control over the mails.
 Protecting an investor against past mistakes is difficult, but Sem ator Johnson, repn., Calif., has undertaken to do it.. He obtained amendment of the administration securities bill for creation of a Foreign Securities corporation, to seek with federal sanction some return upon defaulted foreign bonds.

"When I won the featherweight championship of the world" con- tinued the smiling little New York Italian who has also held the worlds junior welterweight crown. "I didn't fully realize what being a champion meant. That was just another fight to me. But after having been featherweight cham pion for a while I got to know the real meaning of Q title.
 That is why, when I fought for the lightweight title and won 1t, 1 got the greatest thrill"
 Opportunity.
 That big thrill in Tony's ring life stands to be surpassed now Having held the championship and having taken pride in holding 1t, Canzoneri to-day feels that the greatest climax that could be writ ten to his career would be the re- winning of the crown he lost on still disputed decision to Ross two months ago.
 In winning it again Tony would not only be re-mounting the throne but would be making ring history In being the first lightweight champion ever to have regained his lost pionship. He has his heart set on 1t and with grim determination is ready for the greatest fight of his sparkling ring career.
 In Earnest Certainly no fighter, champion. ex-champion or aspiring cham pion, ever worked harder than Canzoneri Is doing right now. We'll into the fourth week of his long and arduous training grind he is rounding into the perfection of fighting form. He is in perfect condition and topping 1t off is n great mental condition. Tn his own mind he is still the best lightweight in the world, and means to prove 1t in the most con- elusive of fashions when he squares off against his old enemy just a week from next Tuesday night.
 Tony means to make that night the biggest one of his life.

I "Ekky," c. V. sonny whitney'i greet handicap champion, will take up his freight car duties as a race horse again in the Hawthorne Cold Cup. a s25,000 added affair to Dc staged at the Cicero, III, racing plant Aug 24. But unlike other handicap races he's completed ir this year, he'll be at an advantage
 The Gold Cup Is made to order for Equipoise. It Is a weight foi age" event, which means tha, horses will carry weight according to their ages. rather, than accord. ing to their ability. Thus Equipoise a fve-year.old, will carry 12t pounds, while any three- year-old will get in at 1f6.
 The Big Idea
 The Hawthorne race with its rich purse was probably. foremost dlers when he was withdrawn from race, with c much Bmaller purse would have had "Ekky" carrying the crushing burden of 142 pounds Had he accepted the issue and won he would have carried more weight than any other horse In a major event.
 The great equine has truly en. viable record. In his four years ol campaigning he has started 3s times, won "A of the races, and was unplaced in only i've. His earnings total $2s7170, and q win in the Hawthorne event would place him above Zev, whose earning were s313,639 and who ranks third be. hind Sun Beau and Gallant Fox in purses won.
 At Hawthorne the toughest horses Equipoise will have to meet will be Gallant sir, Indian Runner and Plucky Play. Gallant Sir was something of a Tartar to Equipoise last fall and has shown q great deal of Improvement. However, when the two met in the Arlington Handicap, Gallant Sir was in re . ceipt Of 10 pounds and yet was nearly seven lengths back of the Whitney horse.
 Indian Runner hasn't measured strides with "E,khy" as yet but Plucky Play could not get close to ssshi sh tbN athbstohN though the previous year he had whipped the son of Pennant. Tn the Arlington feature Equipoise gave Plucky Play II pounds.
 Figuring
 As long as Equlpoise has been able to make show of such horses while spotting them huge chunks of weight. 1t does not seem reason. able to expect that the same horses can take up even weights with ths champion and defeat him. Plucky Play might pull one of his "spoilef' stunts, but he'll find the 1898 Eqpi. ,poise a harder proposition than the 1882 horse.
 Tn the meantime, Winooka, the Australian speed demon. Is on his way east from q few warm. up races nt Hawthorne. He isn't eligible for the Gold Cup. and in any case will need several conditioning races be. fore he Is ready Co tangle with "Ekky."
 Winooka has something of a reputation as a weight carrier him. self. and when the two meet, prob ably at Belmont Park, In Scptem- Der. the race should prove q classic

 Frank Merriweii probably would have poked the scout in the nose and would have gone back to the campus and pitched three double headers in successive days for dear old Ell. But Johnny Broaca lis- tened to the scout whose message was something like this:
 You go ahead and finish your school work, and when you're ready to come we're ready to take you. And take care of your arm. Don't pitch more than once q week Don't work in wet weather"
