Ex-Mayor Hopkins Of Chicago and VIM.
S. Forest recently made a wager as to the
unit of value from 1902 to 1878. and sub
mitted the decision to William A. Vincent.
The question was reduced to writing as
follows:
"Sigmund Zeisler states that under the
statute of 1892 both gold and silver were
made units of value in the United states.
John P. Hopkins denies the proposition.
Mr.. Vincents decision was as follows:
1.-The language of the proposition sub
mtted for decision is not as clear and
satisfactory as might be desired, but l am
under the opinion that under the act of
1892 the unit was to be the dollar. The
value of this unit was to be measured in
both gold and silver, 81 Ia grains being
the quantity of silver and "a 34 grains be-
ing the quantity of gold. which were to
equally express the measure and value of
the unit adopted. AS 1 conceive this to be
the point at issue, as understood by the
parties to the controversy, and which was
intended to be expressed in the written
statement thereof, 1 decided In favor Of the
affirmative of the proposition"
