HERRESHOFF BOAT FOR KAISER

The German Emperor is I o have another

The idch.smdn IN making this announce

and was built by the Townsend Il Downey
Company at shooters Island.

stoned to design a boat for the Emperor he
was told thar a good cruiser was wanted and
tons and to be built In a way that no sane
man would think OF having for racing yacht,
hence II was not at all surprising that sh" dld
not do we'll when raced
About two years ago Herreshof was asked
to design a racing schooner for the Emperor:
The plans were made and submitted and
the Emperor after consulting with his own a
| wanted boat OF less draught than HERES
hon had designed and also wanted 2o-inoh
designed a flush deck boat. and it was said
that the nl"mbcrs OF the, Emperrors stan
were afraid that if they had to sail on such
/ boat they would ger wet, and would be in
! danger of sliding into the water. HERES
! hoff pointed ont that Il the suggested changes
! in the model We're made the yacht would not
! be a racer. and after some exchange OF com
muuications he declined to build the boat
| unless he had IA free hand. He wanted to
! turn out yacht complete in every way and
| ready for racing. The order was not given.
Now It is probable that tho Emperor has
changed his mind and has ordered boat
which will be built according to HERES hon
ideas to 1T the rule of measurement used on
the other side. qnd there is little doubt that
and, If we'll sailed will win prizes for him.

no SILVER DOLLARS or 1905.
should Anybody Produce One II VIII He
Count erfeit

Many inquiries have been received re-
garding the item recently published in
THE Sun that 81 600 is offered for silver
dollar Of 1905. The man who made the
offer stands by it and believes that almost
any coin dealer would double it. on the
ground that no silver dollars were coined
in 1905. as no law was passed authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to coin them,
At the end Of 1904 the quantity of silver
dollars in circulation was 40 great that no
necessity was felt of continuing their coin
age. Besides, the amount Of bullion avail
able for the purpose was at that Tune
limited. 1t is possible that the coinage OF
silver dollars may be resumed this year
Government officials in this city, said
yesterday that counterfeit 1905 silver dollars
are likely to turn up as II result Of the item
printed in The sun Whenever premium
is offered for silver dollars the counter
feiters become very busy, because they are
able to put even more silver into a dollar
than the Government does and still make
a handsome profit, provided they don't
get caught.

BAD BOOKKEEPING IN PELHAM
Expert Accountants to Go Over Artist
Shlnn's Books.

PELHAM, n. Y, Jan. 9.--Fearing that
there is a discrepancy in the accounts,
the Town Board Of Pelham at meeting
tonight decided to employ Lord Co.,
expert accountants of New York. to make
an investi CATION OF the books for the past
twelve years. It is said that differences
amounting to several thousands of dollars
have been found and that the investigation
will develop startling revelations.
For twelve years John NJ Shinn, artist
and lawyer, has been the Supervisor and has
handled the accounts of Pelham For
two terms he was chairman Of the Board OF
Supervisors Of the county OF Westchester
and was known a. the Little Giant be-
cause he was more or less of an independ-
ent, and it was said he could change the
opinion of that body by single speech =,
He was the only Supervisor who dared
committeeman and leader OF Wcstchester
county and on several occasions he 'ested
him on political ISSUES Prior to Mr.. Shinn =
resignation Sherman Pell was Supervisor
of Pelham. He was trusted with the town
money for years without suspicion, but one
morning it was found that he had disap-
peared An investigation followed and II
was learned that Pell had forged the name
OF the town clerk to 100000 worth OF
bonds and had sold them in Wall Street
Pell escaped TO South America anu ''eu
tramp.
John NJ Shinn, the Republican candidate
for supervisor, was defeated at the last
election by Louis c. Young, the scenic
artist, by majority OF fifteen, Since then
it is said, it has been discovered that
taxes claimed to have been paid TO Mr.,
Shinn are not credited on the town books,
One item in particular is the taxes Of Former
Congressman Benjamin l.. Fairchild. who
paid 81 800 in cash for back taxes, and no
record can be found to show that the amount
has been paid. Numerous other similar
cases have been reported.
When Mr.. Shinn was seen tonight In
relation to the investigation no said
-IIl admit that my books haven't been
kept in the best Of shape. but if there is I,
difference between the experts audit OF
the town books and that of mine ! stand
able and willing to make up the difference
The town won't lose a cent
