tirement of national bank notes in fa-
vor of reserve notes in order to obtain
a “currency that is elastic.” The fed-
eral reserve act should be perfected,
he said, in various details, although
he is “profoundly convinced that the
federal reserve act will prove one of
the most constructive contributions
ever made by congress and the further
the system develops, the more apparent
will this come.”
Mr. Warburg’s address went into de-
tail in discussion of the technical side
of banking, taking up an advocacy of
the following:
That all reserve funds should be kept
on deposit with the reserve banks.
The concentration of all gold in th®
federal reserve banks.
The issue of federal reserve notes
against a 100 per cent reserve of gold.
The repeal of laws fixing maximum
interest rates and the enactment of
laws punishing extortion. :
The placing of control over bank :

tistics with the federal reserve board,

nestly hoped by the baseball players
and the committeemen who have sold
tickets that purchasers of tickets, who
do not intend to see the ball game give
them to some one who will see it. If
■ the nonbaseballistically inclined ticket
holder doesn’t happen to have an adult
friend who would like to perch on the
grandstand boards he can do a good
turn by giving the bit of pasteboard
to a couple of kids under 15 and tell-
ing ’em to beat it for the old ball
yard.
Also it has been arranged that the
bleachers will be open tomorrow after-
noon and admission thereto remains
as of old, two-bits. The “regulation”
ticket seller, Charles E. Sasseen, will
be on hand to sell adult admissions,
children s tickets and bleacher tickets.
It ought to be a mighty big after-
noon.
TICKET SALE GRATIFYING.
During a meeting of chairmen of
subcommittees in charge of the sale of
baseball tickets it was developed today
that the results are highly gratifying.
The meeting today was held in the
office of J. W. Daley, general chair-
man of the committee handling the
children’s clothing fund tickets. Final
reports were made by two or three
committees and partial reports from a
goodly number of others. These re-
ports show $850 actual cash in sight.

New York, Sept. 29.—The cotton mar-

points today with December selling at
16.13 and January at.16.20. Apprehen-
sions of frost in northern sections of
the belt seemed to inspire covering,
while there may also have been a little
buying on a private crop report mak-

month. Cables were hardly up to ex-
pectations, however, and the market
soon turned easier under realizing or
scattered liquidation for over the
week-end and the government reports
on Monday. New Orleans and Liver-
pool were sellers on the decline, which
carried December back to 16.07 and
January to 1613 before the end of the

Embargo by Mallory line,
The office of F. T. Rennie, general
asent for the Mallory line at Galveston,
today issued the following notice of a
new embargo:
“Owing to conditions, effective Oct.
1. 1916, this company places an em-
bargo on all shipments northbound, to
or via New York, evcept metals, viz.,
bullion, copper, lead, antimony and
spelter. This embargo notice cancels
all other embargoes.”
Morgan Line Embargo.
General Agent H. M. Wilkens of the
Southern Steamship company at Gal-
veston last night mailed out notices of
another embargo which has been es-
tablished by his line on all eastbound
freight except copper bullion, moving
via Galveston. The text of the notice
follows:
“As the accumulation of eastbound
freight , in transit and at Galveston at
present considerably exceeds its facil-
ities for promptly forwarding it, the
Southern Pacific company, Atlantic
steamship lines (Morgan line), hereby
notifies all concerned, effective Sept.
30th, 1916, until further notice, to dis-’
continue accepting eastbound freight
except copper bullion, routed in con-
nection with its Galveston to New York
line.
‘It is confidently expected present
congestion will be relieved at an early
date.
“Above has no bearing on movement
of westbound freight from New York
to Galveston. This freight is being
handled under normal schedule and no
congestion exists nor is any expected.”

with those of the Morgan and Mallory
Unes and effective simultaneously with
the embargoes of the steamship lines—
the last day of September and the first
of October. The embargo of the Mor-
gan line prohiibts the acceptance, after
today, and until further notice, of any
north or eastbound freight except cop-
per bullilon. The Mallory line’s em- ,
bargo bars the reception of everything
except metals, including bullion, lead, 1
antimony and spelter, effective Oct. 1.
The railroads naturally decided to,
Place embargoes against the reception
of everything except the commodities
named, for movement through this
port via the Morgan or Mallory lines. ’

Galvestonian Invents Submarine.
What practically amounts to a new
type of submarine, by reason of the
drevolution it is expected to create in
the handling of those under-water
craft, is the new “submarine propul-
sion” which Daniel F. Murphy of this
city has named his patented, device for
the maneuvering of that class of ves-
sel. Mr. Murphy has been working
gon his invention for a number of years
and now announces that he has secured
a patent on the two devices which he
claims will revolutionize methods of
submarine propulsion, adding to their
efficiency and safety. He says his mod-
el has been examined by a number of
experts Who have predicted its success
in practical use.
7 The remarkable claims made by Mr.
Murphy are set forth in his words, as
follows:

They will probably not appear in the

the guys” though, who will be seen in
action tomorrow afternoon.
And it all started like this: The
United Charities asked the Tribune to
print a little story to the effect that
many children of the city would require
clothes before they could go to school
and the United Charities would send for
bundles of clothing for this purpose on
being notified by any one desiring to
make a donation. Then a citizen who
read the story went to a local store
and laid down one hundyed “iron men”
and said, “give ten kids some clothes.”
The merchant raised it two all around
and that got into the papers. The Santa
Fe and Rotary club baseball players,
who had been growling as outlined
above, saw both of them stories. They
said “we’re game.” They got together,
organized, called for help, got it. There
were more calls for help, it came. The
workers were told where to go. They
went. Everybdy was asked to pur-
base a ticket to the game. They did.

4 U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
The time and height of high and low
water under normal conditions of
weather at Galveston at the foot of
20th street for the coming week is
given by the United States coast and
geodetic survey as follows:
upstream broadside against a four-knot
current. I can operate the vessel in
any direction promptly.
“I can turn my boat around in her
own length without moving forward
Or astern one foot.
"I can rise from 10 feet beneath the
surface of the water, fire two guns
and be 10 feet beneath the surface of
the water, all in less than one min-
ute’s time.
“I can crawl into a harbor as solwly
as one-half mile per hour, lie in any
spot selected and rise at any time to
sink a big vessel, and can sink again
immeditely, as I can apply all the pow-
er that the boat contains to sinking,
rising and turning around.
“The devices also would be of great
use to the ordinary types of merchant
vessels, enabling them to avoid col-
lisions by turning in any direction as
soon as obstruction appeared through
a fog or otherwise. Had the Titanic
or the Empress of Ireland been so
equipped, those vessels, particularly
the latter, could have avoided their
fate and thousands of lives would have
been saved. They could have turned
out of their course within their own
length.”
The principal feature of Mr. Mur-
phy’s invention is a longitudinal wheel,
one for the stern and one for the bow
of the ship, both acting independently
of the usual propeller. Assisting the
longitudinal wheels is a set of fins, one
on each side of the ship, to be drawn
into a compartment in the ship when
not in use. It is the working these
two devices which makes possible the
uncanny rapid maneuvering of the un-
der-water boats.
Mr. Murphy’s Galveston address is
3920 Avenue H. He left last night for
Velasco, where he, is engaged on some
bridge work.

Veston in general, but it won’t fit Pirate
field from 4 o’clock until sunset. That
aforesaid Pirate field will be the hot-
test place in the country tomorrow aft-
ernoon and for very good reasons.
Among these reasons are:
Santa Fe baseball (undefeated) team
of the Commercial league will be pres-
ent. '
Rotary club baseball (undefeated)
team will be present.
Several thousand or so baseball fans
will be present.
The baseball teams have been growl-
ing at each other for four weeks.
The baseball teams have been say-
ing that the other fellows didn’t pos-
sess any "class.” No, not one bit.
The argument is to be settled on the
diamond by means of ball, bat, glove,
noodle, inside baseball, speed, good
eye, etc., etc.
That ought to convince anybody that
the weather man was all wrong about
that “cooler” prediction for tomorrow
—at least as regards Pirate field
Knowing all these things, however, the
Texas league magnates who control
the ball yard donated its use for to-
morrow’s game because of the better
purposes for which it is to be played.
GOOD NEWS. -
Itowas decided to give the youngsters
a bit of goods news today. This good
newis is to the effect that a fifty-cent
admission ticket will admit two
youngsters under 15 years old. One
youngster can buy a gate and grand-
stand admission for two-bits. The age
limit is the same as for two children
coming in on one fifty-cent ticket,
15 yeans. In this connection it is ear-
