SATURDAY. MARCH 7. DENIES ATLANTA BEEN CHOSEN Sec'y McAdoo Bays Report That 11 Cities Had Been Named For Reserve Banks Wholly Unauthorised. Washington. • Seoretan McAdoo made public ilia following statement: The atatement published tlila mornina that the reserve bank organ laatlon committee had determined upon eleven banka and had designat ed certain cltlea an headquarters for such banka la mere fabrication. 'I be committee haa reached no conclusion whatever on tula subject In order that tte country may be prepared for a ricru letfkcence of such statements "V desire to say that any statements ei -porting to give the views or opin ions In advance of their formal an nouncement are wholly unauthorized and absolutely speculative.” Premature. Washington—The fight for a region al reserve hank for Atlanta has been won, says a special to The Constitu tion. From authoritative sources It Is learned that eleven cities have been agreed upon by the federal reserve organization committee, composed of Secretary McAdoo, Secretary Houston and Comptroller of the Currency Wil liams. The cities which will enjoy Hie vast commercial prestige of being cen ters of the new financial and currency system of the United States are: New York, Boston. Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta, Dallas. Chicago, St. l.ouis, Cincinnati, Mlnenapolls and San Fran cisco. The only surprising feature of this authentic list is the Inclusion of Richmond along with Atlanta, and of Dallas, Texas, in place of New Or leans. Included In the Atlanta reserve bank territory will be the states of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip pi. Tennessee and possibly South Car olina. The contribution of 10 per cent of the banking capital and surplus of the member banks in this territory will give the Atlanta bank a capital of $6,- 000,000, or B 0 per cent more than the minimum capital required. By March 9th. Washington.—Under a decision of the reserve bank organization commit tee all information designed to at feel the definition of federal reserve districts or the location of reserve bank cities must be received at the Treasury Department by March 9. > Although the committee has dis cussed the, location of reserve cities since its trip through the country ended here Feb. 18. it was decided tliht aadditional data s hould lie considered if filed before next Monday. Beginning Tuesday the task of mak ing the selection will be taken up in earnest and it is understood will lie completed in time to allow President Wilson to name the members of the federal reserve board before April 1.

BID GOLF MATCH AT FINAL HOUND Event of Seaton Being Fought Out Between Welter and McCall For Bon Air Oup. The seini-flnal round In the match for the Hun Air Uups was played off yesterday anil the contest has now narrowed down to two men In each Slxt on. In the first sixteen Messrs. Welter anil McCall are left to fight It out this afternoon. Welter won his place by d'frntlng Suppler yesterday, five up and three to play. McCall beat Brown by the acore of one up. These two are now, of course, the center of Interest at the Club and their inateli today will lie followed by a I arge crowd. McCall’s handicap Is 1? and Welter's, 9, so that the latter will have to give Ills advi rsary three strokes. Both gen tlemen Hre sure of a cup, whichever wins today. Thai for the "runner-up" Is almost as handsome Hint only slight ly smaller than the tdg Bon Air Cup Itself. Of course the first sixteen Is the real event —the cups for the other sixteens being more Iti the nature of consolation prizes. , A lot of Interest hinges on the out come of the other matches as well, however, and the cups are very sump tuous affairs. They are all similar to the big cup and not as much smaller as one would expect. They are ten In all, a winner and runner-up for each of the five sixteens, and the table in the Bon Air lobby on which they are displayed is a fine sight. Thg Second Sixteen. Kingsley, who beat Feuchtwanger yesterday, 2 up. will meet nushnell, who beat Hardy, 8 and ». The Third Sixteen. Bennett, who beat Knight yesterday, 2 up, will meet Kelley, who beat Breed, 6 and B.

(Continued from page ono.) secret archives of the senate commit tee on foreign relations since January, 1860. It was signed in Vera Cruz, Dec. 14. 4859. by Robert M. Mr Lane, Amer ican minister to Mexico, and M. Ocam po. secretary of state and foreign af fairs of Mexico, and shortly afterwards transmitted to the senate by Presi di nt Buchanan, but it was never rati fied by the United States because of confusion incident to the outbreak of the civil war. Senate Warned. Minister McLane warned that if the senate failed to ratify the treaty fur ther : narchy would rxiut in Mexico, necessitating intervention. He said: "I am persuaded that if the United Htates declines the responsibility Im posed upon It by the adoption and rat ification of this .convention further anarchy will prevail in Mexico, until it will be terminated by direct inter vention from some quarter in the fed eral politics of Mexico, or by an in tervention of our own, caused by some sudden and unforeseen provocation that will expose us to the responsi bilities of a general war and a con quest that fetfr would desire to under take or consummate.” The fact that this convention was drawn up so long ago and never rati fied removes all possibility of it ever becoming effective now.

Profiting Investment. The Information os to these I mores corned from Hairy Aokerland of I’ltts fcurg, minority stockholder In the club who purchased Frank Chance's ten shared of stock when the latter was taken ftvm the nuiioigcrdhlp oftie team a year ago this winter. Chance sold to Ackerland for $40,000, or at the lid sis of only 94,000 a share mere nve too dilutes altogether although the average value of one share now Is aducased at slo,(*d>, Chance told Ackerland of Ills experiment in a money way with the chit). Altogether, In the eight years he led the club, he collected a total of 1*9,000 as dividends from hid stock, aside from the salary he received from tiw club. Chance a total earnings on ten per cent being S*K,OO, the total earnlnga of the club weVe mxo.ooo tn those eight years. This Is an average of 996,000 a year. Rut It must be rente mhtfcd that the hulk of this w»ia collected in tha latter half of the period, that Hi© gams had become a bigger money proposition and la dttll growing In a general way all over the country. HtIII another im portant fact id that, when the Cubs played lit the world's aeries of 1909, ,1907 and 190 S, they bad only a small grand stand that would not hold within ten thousand of what the new one will ac commodate. Blggar Money Propoatlon. The 1906 series whs n bigger money proposition than either of the two that followed immedlstely, but this was be cause of two paramount reasons- this serhs went to it tie and then to an ex tra game, and the White Hlx were the opponents, so that a tremendous amount of local rivalry entered into the Hit na tion. The two cluba split up $62,493.30 then. In 1907 and 1908 the receipts also were kept low by the fact that I De troit waa iho opposing dub and the Tlg <Vh had a very small park which, though jammed to the guards, would not ad mit of any record breaking attendance fig urea. In 1907 the two clubs split $36,<22.29, in 1908 $39,362.03. Compare these figures with the amount divided In 1910, when the Cuba played tha Ath letics. It was $77,510.07. lint of course these numbers do not compare with those of the (iWinta-Hed Box series of 1911!. when the record was set at $293,- 631.92, to be dividend by the clubs, ex i luaive of players’ and national commis sion aim res lint lhe Cubs now have an even larger park, and the next time they get In a world's aeries. It will be possible for them to more than double their former world’s series returns. Future Investment. Several other facts must he taken Into consideration In computing how much better i.ie Cubs are llkejy to he ns an Investment in future. It must he re membered that ChaVles W. Murphy, the last owner of the dub, was Immensely unpopular In Chicago, so much so that the fans nt times even circulated boy cott petitions against his club. Yet they did collect large portion* of coin of the realm at that. What, then, will be the result If a poular administration should get In? Probably no other club In baseball haa had such a distinguished line of preal dents aa the Chicago Nationals tills re mark of course doesn't include Murphy— during the tbiYty-elght years of the club’s life. It was a charter member of the National League In 1876, with William A. Halbert as president* Mor gan d.
