HOARDING OF CASH HURTS

Conditions in the local national and
savings banks and trust companies are
now almost as good as they were when
the financial scare was started the last
week of October in New York city
Newark workingmen and women have
acted largely on the advice of the
EVENING STAR to let their money
remain in the savings and other banks
where 1t earns interest and is safe.
Some people drew out money this
week to invest in a few shares of stock
of the Essex and Hudson Gas Com
pany, Public Service certificates. This
was returned to the banks by the
brokers to whom it was paid, so that
currency is kept in circulation Some
savings banks are now paying their
six months dividends to depositors
and the others will pay next month
Confidence in local banking insttu-
tions is shown by the mechanics and
worlxingmen. who have made deposits
every pay day, an action ereditable to
their common sense. 1t shows those
rich men who have drawn large sums
of currency from banks to hoard or to
sell at a premium.
For instance, a manufacturer drew
out several sums until he had 100000
in his safe. He then took this currency
to New York and got a premium of 2
per cent. for it from a bank. He was
given certified check for $102,o0 on
condition that he hold it for a certain
period.
Had he gone into the open market
he could have got 31s or per cent. for
the currency. Had he bought Newark
city or Essex County bonds his money
would have gone into the vaults of our
local banks.
Another man has carried in his
pockets for nearly two weeks $50, 600
in bills of large denominations, and
others have rented boxes in safe de-
posit vaults and locked currency in
them.

A FAMOUS BLOODHOUND.
Has Solved Many Michigan Mysteries,
and Has Never Failed.

He's only a dog just an ordinary dumb
brute without any pedigree to bother him,
and his name is just plain Tom, says the
Bellaire (Mich) correspondent of the De-
troit Free Press. But Tom probably has
more friends in Northern Michigan than
any other living thing, man or beast
He is the property of Sheriff William
Kettle, of Antrim County. and has the
blood of some ancient Cuban bloodhound
that of Russian wolfhound and plenty
of a good-natured dog running through his
veins. In place OF a pedigree, Tom has
record, consisting of long string of mys-
teries he has solved, saving much time
and money. He's always willing to work
and so is his master When something
comes up in that country that looks like
case for a bloodhound, they say:
Send for Bill Kettle and Tom"
Bill and Tom show up on the first
train, IL IL is possible for the sheriff to
leave his official duties in the hands of
deputy and the two go to work. The only
objection Mr.. Kettle has to using his dog
for n team mate, is that Tom won't stop
even for a meal If the trail is at all warm.
Il can go without sleep for few days,
said the sheriff but I've got to eat Tom.

and the dog answered with a yelp
II the case is a puzzler, the trail cold or
the first scent Insufficient Tom worries
himself thin over 1t. Running here and
there, whining in ptiful manner all the
time, and gazing into the face of his mas
ter, he will keep at 1t until pulled away
by main force.
A year ago Mary Wills, Il 16-year-old St
Ignace girl, left hen home early In the
evening and was never seen alive again
The case was a mystery to all who knew
the circumstances. Some one thought of
Bill and Tom. They came the next day
and the dog took the scent just sixty hours
after the young girl was last seen Through
the main streets Of the city he fore heed

way to the water front he peered over the
edge Of tie dock, laid down and hegan
licking tie mud from his paws. The body
was fourd an hour later
The gang of small postoffice robbers who
operated in Northern Michigan for some
weeks a year ago went behind bnis two
of them at least, all on account of Tom.
The dog followed them over 100 miles
the window sill, where they made en-

the men walked the rails Of the railroad

to maintain their balance. They made

FOR NEXT
GOVERNOR
FIGHT
Democrats Dissatisfied With
Organization in Three
Counties.
Especial to the evening star.l

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 16-This afternoon
the auxiliary committee of the Democratic
State Committee met in the rooms OF the
State Committee, In the Fuller building,
to form plans to carry on an organization
through the winter and next summer that
will render effective service in the presl-
dental campaign next fall.
Robert S. Hudspeth. chairman of the
State Committee is IN attendance, being
the only member of the State Committee
to attend the meeting.
The young men who will attend the
meeting will plan not only to organize
next year. but also to organize perma-
nently. They believe that in time the in
fuence of the auxiliary committee viii be
equal to that Of the State Committee it
self.
In the last campaign the auxiliary COM
mittee was handicapped by the fact, they
assert, that the organization did not have
time to make an effective fight In that
1t was organized but a few months before
the fight
BY effectlng a permanent organization
now, they assert, they will be in a position
to do effective work next year. and that
their influence will be felt in the next
gubernatorial fight, three years hence.
At the conference this afternoon tn talk
is principally on organizing better fight
ing force in Bergen, Morris and Cumber-
land Counties Here, 1t IS contended, there
was little or no organization during the
last campaign The auxiliary committee
has decided that there will be n strong or
ganization in these three counties before
the winter is over.

A MEDITERRANEAN TOUR.
The Best Months in Which to See Ger.
tain Places

The prospect of Mediterranean tour
has varying import according to
whether it comes as the fulflment of
long hope for a "Wander-jah or as
the prescription of some omniscient
physician who forbids shop just
when all the world is working, and one
would fain work too. But whether one
goes eagerly or resistingly, wide-eyed
with years of preparation, or dazed
from a sudden departure, one must
yield at last to the potent charm.
Happy are they who lose no time in
useless resistance.
Everyone knows that winter is the
time for making the tour" and win
ter in this connection means the time
from October first to May first. AL
though the Mediterranean may be Wis
tied in many ways varying with the
usual occupations and tastes of the
visitor the traveller as such can make
the tour in variations Of only two
ways. Either he spends about three
months, returning home with a highly
colored bird 's-eye view Kaleidoscope
ally stored away in his mind, or he
doubles the time, and gains a very
fair introduction to the peoples and
lands visited, Either method can easily
include Italy, Sicily, Greece, Constant
inople Palestine and Egypt, with per-
haps a glance at the Azores. Spain,
Biskra, Malta or the Riviera. OF course
no one country is seen exhaustively,
but one has opportunity to visit the
best known parts of each, leaving the
by-ways to the always expected special
trips of the future The present scheme
includes in Italy, Florence. Rome and
Naples; in Sicily, Taormina, Syracuse,
Girgenti and Palermo; in Egypt. Cairo,
the Nile trip at least as far as the
First Cataract, Luxor and Assouan. in
Greece, Athens and two at least of the
trips to Eleusls, Marathon, Delphi and
Olympia, in Turkey, Constantinople
and the Bosphorus; in Palestine,
Haifa, Nazareth, Jerusalem, Bethle-
hem and Jaffa.
Obviously, it is as senseless to visit
a country out of season as to go to
hear a singer known to be out of voice.
Hence it is well to consider the best
and worst seasons for each region be-
fore attempting to plan. Taking in turn
the places named above, Italy and
Shelly are seen to best advantage in
October, March and April, to least ad-
vantage in December and January;
Egypt is best seen in December, Jan
uary and February; Palestine is best
seen in March, April and May, and
worst in December and January:
Greece is best seen in October, April
and May, and worst in December and
January; Constantinople should be seen
as early in the fall or late in the
spring as possible.-The Travel Maga-

DIES in CELL
DELIRIOUS PRISONER EX-
HAUSTED HIMSELF.
William Hartung, of Harrison, Found
Dead by Doctor and Police
man Last Night.

Constant jumping around and eXerting
himself in a frenzied way in padded cell
in the Harrison police station, while he
was n dellrious condition, caused the
death of William Hartung about 80 years
old, of 70 Washington street, Harrison, who
was found dead in the cell about II o'clock
last night by DR.. A. A. Mulligan, of Har-
rison, who pronounced exhaustion as the
cause of death.
The body was taken TO his home late
last night by Harrison undertaken, where
the funeral will be held.
Hartung was taken to the Harrison po-
lice station yesterday by Policeman Ward
in the patrol wagon. and at that time he
acted very queerly. Around his house his
movements were strange, and Hartung' 3
family thought it wise to have him re-
moved. DR.. Mulligan saw Hartung four
times yesterday. On his last call. about
II o'5clock. the physician and Policeman
Campion went down to the cell Hartung
was in and found the man dead.
Hartung was a resident of Harrison for
many years. and was brother of ex-School
Trustee Frederick e. Hartung, Of Harri-
son. He is survived by wife and two
children.
