STRAY BOW-WOWS
WON'T Be SAFE NOW
OVER IN KEARNY
Public War on Stray CANNES
and Council May Employ
a Dog Catcher.

The subject of dogs. licensed and I'M
licensed, is the cause of considerable
talk throughout Kearny and Airing.
ton, where an edict has just been is
sued which calls for the death of I'M
licensed CANNES.
Although notices have been posted
requesting owners of dogs to have
them licensed, there has not been a
rush at the Kearny Town Hall for
licenses.
Further than the licensing part, the
proclamation also says that all dogs
must be muzzled, and any person has
the right to send a stray cur into
oblivion, according to the edict.
There is no public pound in Kearny,
neither is there a dog keeper. The
poisoning method was in vogue in
Kearny's sister town, Harrison, a few
years ago and the placing of the de-
struction of dogs int the hands of
citizens brought forth many complaints
from owners of valuable dogs who
were poisoned. This may happen in
Kearny, and there have not been many
deaths so far. although the dogs con-
tinue to swarm the streets, a menace
to the travelling public.
When the Common Council meets
tonight it may possibly take some
action toward hiring a dog catcher.

HUGHES, FL0ORED
BY TAFT FORCES
IN SEAT CONTESTS
New York Governor Loses All
His Instructed Delegates
from Missouri.
TAFT TO KEEP HANDS OFF
VICE-PRESIDENTIAL FIGHT
His Manager, Hitchcock, Says
Secretary Will Make No
Combinations or Deals.

CHICAGO, June 10-The Republican
National Committee resumed hearing OF
contests today, taking up first the fight
districts. Both were decided in Taft's
favor. The anti-Taft people announced
before the hearing began that they
were not overhopeful of success. They
said that as the decision was yester-
day given in favor of the Taft delegates
inethe tenth district there seemed small
chance of the anti-Taft interests win-
ming the remaining contests.
The Missouri contests are between the
Hughes and Taft delegations, and If
all of them are decided in favor OF
Taft, Governor Hughes will lose the
greater part of his instructed delegates
outside of the State of New York.
Among the arrivals early today was
Attorney General Wade FL. Ellis, OF
Ohio, who came from Washington,
where he has been consulting the Sec
rotary of War and President Roosevelt
regarding the platform which is to be
submitted to the convention. Ellis
brought with him a draft of the docu-
ment as approved by President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft.
1t was announced today that the
headquarters of Senator Knox will be
opened Saturday or Sunday.
A. B. Humphreys. manager for Gov
ernor Hughes, of New York, appeared
at the committee room for the first time
since the hearing of contests began.
Manager Frank H. Hitchcock, of the
Taft forces, today said: ION the guess
ton of the nomination of a Vice-Presi-
dent, Secretary Taft and his managers
nave made no combinations or deals;
they will not hereafter a any COM
binations or deals n will not push
the candidacy of any particular man"

EXPECT No CALL
On EMERGENCY
CURRENCY Law
Moral Effect Working and WASH
ington Is First to Form
Association.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Washing-
ton is tie first city in the country to
get a national currency association I'M
der the Aldrich- Vreeland currency laws
under way. Representatives of national
hanks in this city have made applica-
tioa to the Secretary of the Treasury
fer the establishment of an associa-
tlor.
Arrangements have been practically
completed DIT the Treasury whereby
emergency currency may be provided
under the terms of the Aldrich-Vree-
Ian act, wherever it may be needed.
Treasury officials say that with the
abundance of money now in the vaults
of the tanks the currency
law III all probability will not be in
voked hiss year. and maybe not for
years to come. The moral effect of the
statuta. as predicted by its trainers, has
already been felt in the business and
commercial world.
Judging from information received a
the Treasury there will be few nationa
currency associations established fol
the present, outside of New York, Bos-
toa, Philadelphia, Chicago and other
big centres. Such associations are In
process of formation in nearly all o.
the cities mentioned.
An important decision has just beer
made at the Treasury on a question
arising under that provision of the bill
requiring the payment of a tax of
per cent. by the banks on government
deposits made with them. Approx
mately $50. 900, 900 Is at this time de,
posted ia national banks. 1t has beef
held that a tax will be assessed agains
only such sums as are in banks in ex
cess Of the amounts required for tn
use of the government. Estimates o
the amounts required for the uses o
the government in each case have al
ready been made. A circular a%nnounc
ing the ruling in this connection vii
be made public by the Secretary OF tn
Treasury in a day or so.

BIG REDUCTION
IN TAX SOURCES
WORRIES BOARD
Members Look for a~Falling
Off in Newark of
SlO,OCO,OOO.
KNOCKOUT DECISION
ON PERKINS LAW A CAUSE
May Be Hard Figuring to Keep
the City Tax Rate as
Il Is.

Members of the Board of Assess
nent and Revision of Taxes expect a
heavy reduction this year in the
amount of the taxable value for New
ark property, as compared with the
total in 1907. The reduction may
reach S10,0 600, 900. and it may exceed
that amount.
The falling off is mainly in personal
property values, caused by the great
reduction in the market value of stocks
and bonds in the financial stress.
\ member of the tax board said that
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company has made a return statement
for this year of only $751; 00, 900 of per-
sonal property against nearly 81, 000, 900
last year.
Again, upward of 81, 500, 900 has been
cut from Newark's tax ratables by
the decision of the courts hat the
Perkins law, which provided that the
city can levy taxes on second-class
railroad property. is unconstitutional.
The tax commissioners will have
very difficult work to keep the tax
rate for Newark ever as low as it was
for the year 1907. They may be helped
some by a notice from the State Board
for the Equalization of Taxes that
banks and trust companies prove all
Investments of individual property and
surplus in securities thai are not tax
able.

MONSTER DEALS
PUT THROUGH BY
THE STEEL TRUST
U. S. Corporation, Anticipating
Rivals, Clinched Contracts
of Stupendous Extent.

PITTSBURG, Pa, June 10.-That the
United States Steel Corporation Axs
through sheer aggressiveness landed
contracts for almost 1000, 900 tons of
steel rails since the financial stringency
started, even though in so doing it
incurred foreign competitors enmity.
is an announcement made here today.
1t is said that the corporation has in
vaded Canada, Bulgaria and Russia, to
say nothing of taking from the foreign
ers their former part of contracts in
the United States.
The figures in detail are that the
Canadian Pacific Railroad has split it's
order for 1000, 900 tons of rails with the
steel corporation, giving 500, 900 tons
here. The Russian government has
been booked for 1000, 900 tons, which
contract the German and English rail-
makers had already figured as their
own; the Bulgarian state railways have
booked for $50, 900 tons, and the Illinois
Central for $4,000 tons, making a grand
total of 1902, 600 tons in orders to be
delivered as soon as possible.
The enormity of these contracts may
be had from the statement that the
combined capacity of all the rail mills
of the United States for a veal rurning
steadily is less than 4,000, 900 ons
The story given here is that the cor
poration was the first to feel the CONF
ing of the business slump, and agents
were then sent to every country in the
civilized world with instructions to get
business. They were to get it at any
cost, so the corporation was left a fair
profit, and it appears that they ave
gotten it.

A SENSE OF DUTY THAT DE-
FEATED POLITICS.

When it became known early in the
summer of 1862 that an emancipa-
ton policy must be adopted at an ear
ly day, l spent several evenings with
Lincoln until long after the mid
night hour, discussing the question
and earnestly protesting against an
emancipation proclamation, for the
reason that it would certainly defeat
the administration party in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and with
out the support of those States I
could not see how the war policy
was to be maintained. Lincoln was
a patient listener, and he did not dis
pute that the political disasters I pre-
dicted might follow such proclama-
ton. He gave no indication of his
purpose, altho he talked freely and
listened most patiently and attentive
ly. l urged him to issue an order
as commander n-chief of the army,
that every slave brought within our
