EXCITING PLAY IN SECOND POLO GAME FOR INTERNATIONAL CUP
I.A MOXTAGSE MAKING THE FIRST CiOAI. FOR THE AMERICAN TEAM IN THE FOURTH CHtKKER.
The Westchester Cup, Prized
Trophy, Starts Across At
lantic Saturday.
AMERICA TO SEND TEAM
TO BRITAIN NEXT YEAR
Gate Receipts Aggregate About
52C0.030 and Expenses Total
One-Quarter of Amount.
NEW YORK, June 17.?The Westches
ter cup, the much sought and highly
prized trophy emblematic of the polo
championship of the world, is today
stored among the effects of the British
invaders and will start on its second trip
across the Atlantic Ocean Saturday.
The score of 4 goals to '2% by which it
?was won tells only a part of the story
of what experts declare to have been the
best game of polo ever played. Victory
for the challengers was hardly won and
well deserved and failure by the defend
ers to retain the trophy, while dlsap- j
pointing for the moment, served to add J
interest to the game as a sport in the
declaration of American poloists to chal
lenge for a match next year.
In accepting the cup from Mrs. Payne
"Whitney after the game Lord Wimborne i
expressed the hope that there would be |
other international matches in which he j
might show an American team how much
he appreciated the spirit of sport he had
met here. That Lord Wimborne will
have this opportunity was practically
assured when Harry Payne Whitney. R.
T. Wilson. Andrew Miller and others an
nounced that they would back a move
ment to send a team to England next
year to bring the cup back home.
Americans Suffer Penalties.
America's defeat yesterday may be laid
to the in tenseness of the play of the de
fenders. who, in their anxiety to retrieve
lost fortunes, repeatedly became reckless
and suffered penalties for a total of 12'i
points. England lost only one full point
because of fouling. Swept off their feet
in the first two periods, the American
four never stopped lighting. They im
proved as the match progressed and to
ward the end they had the British play
ers on the defensive.
This "come back' spirit of the Ameri
cans caused Lord Wimborne to say that
had the second game gone to the cup de
fenders he did not believe the visitors
would have won the third game and the,
match. Maj. Barrett, captain of the Eng- j
lish team, in commenting upon tlie result j
said that at one time during the game it j
was a toss-up as to which would win. f
J M. Waterbury. captain of the Amer
ican team, praised the teamwork of the
visitors, their good hitting and genera!
excellence of play. He thought his own
'??am had played a better game than Sat
urday. and that it might have won with
a little luck.
Gate Receipts About $200,000.
Receipts for tL?* two games, it was es
timated today, would aggregate about
S2^.h ?.(>*?, while the expenses will probably
not exceed a <juarter of this amount.
I*ast year the polo association spent
about for the new national polo
field at Xarragansett Pier, and it is ex
pected that a part *<f this year's inter
national receipts will be set apart for a
Hubhouse and other expenses on the new
grounds.,
Lord Wimborne made several large
wagers on his team, and is reported to
have won about *17,000 on the match.
Ills helpers won heavily at the expense
??* th?* Americans.
Teams in the second game were:
' nited States?No. 1, R. Lamontagne; !

GILMORE SPURNS SWINDLE.
Congressman Approached With Old
Spanish Prisoner Fraud.
Ivlw ard Giltnore. a country provision
merchant of Massachusetts, today receiv
ed a communication from a Spanish pris
oner offering a share in a sixty-thouiand
dollar fortune which is alleged to be
hidden in a locked and ironbound trunk
:n Madrid. All that Mr. Gilmore must do
is to put up a large sum of money and I
go tl> Madrid, where he wHl be able to
find the Spanish prisoner, one Arturio
Or:<no.
, However, it seems that Edward Gilmore
has an alternate capacity as representa
tive in Congress from Massachusetts. In
his capacity as country storekeeper,
which seemed to hold out so alluring a
prospect to the well known Spanish pris
oner game, he consulted himself as a
wise and farseeing congressman and de
termined that he would allow the Spanish
fortune t?? rest in its old trunk.
In his capacity as a representative he
v as inclined to take the matter to t**e
rtntei;: <>f Justice, but in his capacity
a* pt'ovis'on merchant h ? thought better
of it and lossed the appealing letter into
a. waste basket. j
Federal Reserve Notes
Amounting to Many Millions
in Contemplation.
SAMPLE BILLS SUPPLIED
BY GOVERNMENT BUREAU
Five Denominations Submitted. $5 to
$100?Plans for Uniform De
sign in Paper Currency.
Millions of dollars* worth of paper i
money of a new type will be put into cir- j
culation upon the establishment of the
federal reserve bank within the next few
weeks.
l*nder the federal reserve bank act eac h
of the twelve federal reserve banks will j
receive advances from the federal reserve |
board in the form of federal reserve notes, ;
a distinctly new sort of paper money. |
Commercial paper will be the collateral!
advanced by the various banks as se- J
curity fcr these notes. (
Controller of the Currency Wiliiarns has j
samples of this new paper money now un- !
der consideration. At his request, Joseph
K. Halph. director of the bureau of en
graving: and printing, prepared notes of I
$5, $10. $J0. $50 and $100 denominations j
and these have been submitted to Secre- |
tary McAdco. It is not likely, however. !
that the samples will be* officially ac- j
cepted until the members of the federal
reserve board have been confirmed by
the Senate and can confer with Secre
tary McAdoo and .Controller Williams
concerning the new notes.
No Estimate of Volume.
At present no official of the Treasury j
Department is able to make any estimate j
of the amount of federal reserve notes!
which will probably be put into circjiJa- j
tion this year. Federal reserve banks are i
required, under the new law, to keep gold J
reserves of not less than 40 per cent j
against federal reserve notes in actual j
circulation. The amount of these notes j
required by the federal reserve banks i
will depend largely on the amount of
money required by .member banks for
the rediscounting of commercial paper.
Last year at harvest time Secretary
McAdoo permitted banks in the west
and south to borrow money or. commer
cial paper and about $37,000,000 was
loaned. "The immediate demand for
federal reserve notes will probably be
far in excess of that sum, as the har
vest loans were limited to the farm
ing sections, while the entire United
States will draw on the federal re
serve board for money to rediscount
agricultural, industrial and commercial
paper. The money for harvest emer
gencies was limited to twenty-eight
states and. none of it wejit to New
York and New England
Designs of New Notes.
The new five-dollar note submitted
by Mr. Ralph is typical of agriculture.
The portrait on the face cf the note is
Lincoln's, and the back shows a har
vesting machine and allegorical fig
ures typical of farming. The ten
ilollar note bears a portrait of Cleve
land and a manufacturing scene. The
twenty-dollar note bears Jackson's
portrait and is typical of commerce,
having a steamship, train and other
mediums of trade on the back. Grant's
picture is shown on the fifty-dollar
lote, and Franklin's portrait adorns
:he one-hundred-dollar bill. Both of
these larger bills are typical of the
arts. All the.bills will be printed in
?reen ink on the back, while black ink
ivill be used on the faces.
For some time the Treasury Depart- ,
ment has been anxious to make all
paper money more uniform. At present ,
different portraits appear on different ! j
sorts of paper money of the same de
nomination. It is likely that the por- ;
traits selected for use on the federal i
reserve notes will also be used on other :
paper money. So in the future all I
bank notes, gold certificates, silver cer- j
tificates and federal reserve notes of j
$5 denomination will probably bear Lin- I
coin's-portrait, and so on through the j
series up to $100. '
Redemption Fund.
Of the 40 per cent gold reserve banks j
maintain against their outstanding j
federal reserve notes at least 5 per
tent will be kept in the United States
Treasury for the redemption of such
notes. It is provided under the new
law that when one federal reserve bank
receives federal reserve bank notes is
sued by another bank it must return .
them immediately to the issuing bank, j
and a heavy penalty is provided for a
bank which pays out notes other than ?
its own. 1

PRISON TERM AND FINE
FOR OPERATOR OF AUTO
Philadelphia Court Denies an Appeal
From Conviction of Involuntary
Manslaughter.
PHILADELPHIA. June 17.?'Pedes
trians have the right of way at street
crossings and drivers of vehicles must
recognize this right at their risk." de
clared Judge Sulzberger yesterday in the
quarter sessions court in refusing a new
trial to William K. Hoskins, driver of an
automobile, convicted of involuntary man
slaughter for running down and killing
Mrs. Eliza Brothvvell here last November.
Hoskins was sentenced to six months in
jail and to pay a fine of Counsel
for Hoskins at once appealed to the
superior court, contending "that the
judge's theory of the law is a misguided
one founded on a personal prejudice
against the operators of automobiles who
figure in accidents of this kind."
Court's Opinion.
In the course of his opinion Judge Sulz
berger said:
"The defendant thinks that under the
circumstances the decedent's death was
an unavoidable accident.
"The term 'unavoidable accident* has
been, of late, much abused. It seems
often to be applied to the result of the
collision rather than to its cause. This
error has been favored by the powerful
body of opinion which receives with hor
ror the notion that a class of persons,
many o/ them well endowed with worldly
goods and bearing a good reputation for
honesty and good citizenship may be
guilty of criminal conduct."
BELIEVED STORSTAD
HAD RIGHT OF WAY
First Officer of Collier That Sank
Empress of Ireland Testi
fies at Inquiry.
QUEBEC, June 17.?The captain and the
first officer of the collier Storstad testified
today at the Empress of Ireland wreck
inquiry and contradicted in several par
ticulars the statement made on the
stand yesterday by Capt. Kendall of the
lost liner. The first officer, Alfred Tuft
enes, who was in command of the collier
when the collision occurred, insisted that
there was no explosion and no sheet of
flame from the side of the Empress when
she was struck, as Capt. Kendall had de
scribed. Tuftenes swore that all he saw
were sparks, such as might have been
expected from the impact of steel on
steeL
The first officer admitted that he had
not obeyed instructions in failing to call
his captain from beiow when the fog shut
down just before the collision. lie said
he believed that the Storstad had the
right of way and that he was entitled t??
keep his course at reduced speed, even
though he had signaled.previously to the
Empress that he had stopped He blamed
the current for swinging the ship. It
was the'speed of the Empress, he claimed,
which caused -the Storstad's bow to sin!;
twelve feet into the side of the passenger
vessel.
