COMMANDER PEARY
 MAY ABANDON TRIP
Lacks Funds to Make Dash to
 North Pole
HE IS DEEPLY DOWNCAST
However, He Is Still Hopeful That Money Will Come from Some Source to Make the
 Journey.

New York, April 2S.--Lack of funds to equip the expedition may mean the aban- donment of the dash to the north pole, which Commander Robert E. Peary has planned for this summer. This explorer. who has earned the distinction of having reached "the farthest north' and who truly may be said to live for the purpose of revealing to the world the mysteries of the pole itself. is deeply downcast at the possibility that he may not be able to try again.
 This Is a work which I must do. a great work for which I was intended" :" said Commander Peary today to the As sociated Press And, with a confidence that his work must be helped from some where, he added, ''The money will como somehow, l feel certain of that. But, If I was only assured now, what relief it would be ard how could concentrate all my energy on the details of, the expedi- tion Remember we were but IT. nauti- cal miles from the goal on our last trip. It would be a pity indeed If we could not try again.
 Peary wants to start from New York the latter part of June. His ship, the Roosevelt, which proved her worth on the last eXpedltlon, IS now pelnS prepdreu for the next attack on the northern ice fields. The greater part of $40,0O0 already subscribed will be spent in repairing the boat and $60,000 more will be needed for general purposes. The Peary Arctic club Is caring largely for the reftting of the Roosevelt, and it has issued an appeal for contributions from the people of the country so that a total of $l0000O may be raised.
 The appropriateness of permitting the public school children of the country to take part in the movement has been sug- gested to Peary. If met with his ap- proval, but he Is in doubt as to how i e oh a programme could be carried out.

 Dissolute Americans.
 "Nothing contributes more to the sup port of the views of opponents in our politics and progress, than the presence in Manila and other cities and towns of dissolute Americans, whose example is anything but edifying and form an object lesson to enforce the claim made by our opponents that there is nothing of value in American civilization for them to fol- low. Their people are generally a tenn perate people. most tropical peoples are, while nothern peoples in the tropics are not infrequently given to incorporate habits.
 NOW, the way to avoid this Is to fur nish a place in which leisure hours of Americans in these dependencies can be passed in rational, inviting and moral pur- suits and entertainment. The Young Mems Christian association is one of the most effective instruments to this end that we have. Recently Mir. Mowet of the association, raised in this country ESQ.,, 000 for the construction of building in Manila on condition that $600c0 should be added to the $50.O00 for this purpose by he citizens of Manila. It is, speaking Highly of the public spirit of Americans and others in Manila and for the agents who represent the association in Manila, that in a very few days after the offer became known, although business condi- tions are by no means highly prosperous, s42, 900 was raised and the generous enter prise has become a completed thing"

Officials to be

The tickets for the election this

the board of elections, as this year

largely elected. The ticket in
nearly every precinct will be diff
ferent. For the general elections,
outside of the board of education,

ner, so that they have to be print
ed separately.

For the board of education there
will be the usual number, plus the
new precincts, having different
ballots, On each ticket there will
be at least four candidates, and on
some as many as six or more.
These are arranged alphabetically
without any recognition of party,
under the provision of the new law
and certain number of the tickets
in each precinct must be printed
with the name of each candidate
heading the ticket. For example,
if there is precenct with four
candidates for the board of educa
ton, there will be four seperate
sets of tickets, each mans name
being placed at the head of each
list.
