TRY FOR SOUTH POLE

Washington, Nov. 10,-Lieutenant
Peary, the Arctic explorer who has
taken up his residence with his fam
lily in Washington for the winter. is
not contemplating an expedition to
the south pole as reports to that eff
feet have been circulated.
Lieutenant Peary last night de-
clared that because Commander Rob-
ert F. Scott. of the British navy, is
working on the south pole expedition,
it would be improper to attempt to
utilize his route or the regions in
which he is to work. He repudiated
the announcement printed in seyeraI
newspapers that within five years he
would head an expedition for the
south pole under the auspices of the
Peary Arctic club.

SUPREME COURT MUST
DECIDE GOMPERS' CASE

Tor contempt of court. il will not he
due to lack of support from trades
unIon1sm. The executive council of
the federation recommended to the
annual convention yesterday that an
appeal will be taken to the United
States supreme court. both in the
Buck Stove and Range COMPANY in
junction case, and in the contempt
proceedings growing out of it. That
the convention will ratify the recon-
mendation seems certain, and that the
three labor leaders and their fellow
officers will be reelected for another
year, is predicted.
Vigorous denunciation of the use
OF the labor injunctions and of the
denial Of trial by jury was embodied
in the councils report yesterday.
The report declared that if the case
against Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
rison had been submitted on it's mer-
its to the jury, they would not have
been convicted.
We hold that a citizen, charged
with the violation of an Injunction.

onment, should have the same legal
right to trial by jury that is accord
ed to the person charged with the
violation of the criminal law" says
the report.
No class has suffered so much
from the tyranny of autocratfc power
as the working people; none struggles
more heroically to secure the bless
ings of true liberty, free government,
free speech, free press and trial by
jury, and it now devolves upon the
wage earners to protect, defend ana
maintain inviolate this priceless prin-
picie of equity and justice" declared
the report.

AMERICAN BANKING
SYSTEM BARpAROUS
SUCH Is OPINION OF EUROPEAN
FINANCIERs, SAYS SEN
ATOR ALDRICH.
RHODE ISLANDER TELLS OF THE
VIRTUE OF METHODS
ACROSS The SEA.

Kansas City, Nov 0.-Reiterating
his declaration that neither he nor
the monetary commission, of which
he is the head, has any pet scheme
of financial reform, Senator Aldrich
last night in this city dwelt at length
upon the advantages of European
banking systems over the systems in
the United States.
He spoke after a dinner given by
the Clearing House association, at the
Baltimore hotel.
Mr.. Aldrich said he found in the
reserve system the most striking
characteristic Of European banks. He
dwelt upon the fact that the European
laws make no requirement either as
to the amount of reserves or Of their
publicity. The percentage is left to
the wisdom Of the bankers.
The great central banks protect
themselves in times of stress, Mr.. Aid
rich said, by advancing the discount
rate to attract gold from other coun-
tries which has the effect of building
up their reserves. They also extend
credits literally to every one who is
solvent and who has the right to Dor
row.
They protect their own reserves,
and they extend credit literally to
every one who deserves it and who
wants it. This is the whole secret
of the method by which these great
hanks take care of and rnou1afo tho
affairs of these great countries in
cases of probable trouble" he said.
Contrasting this system with the
rigid methods of the United States,
Senator AId"ich said:
Z have no doubt that the opinion
everywhere expressed in Europe, that
our system is barbarous, is correct.
It certainly is against the experience
of modern banking everywhere else"

SHORTAGE MAY
REACH 100000

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 10.-RumOrs
are current that the shortage in the
financial department of the Big Four
railroad from the alleged defalcation
Of Charles L. Warmer. deposed To-
cal treasurer of the road may reach
as high as $2,OO0,OOO
Interrogation of Warriner by his
suDeriors and others was resumed
yesterday. An official statement Civ
en- out confirmed reports that the
shortage would probably amount to
at least S60O.O00 That the total de-
faIcation may go far above this fig
ure is generally conceded.
The officials of the road are as
founded at the revelations made by
Warmer, and are pressing him for
additional details Of how he spent
the money, the sums alleged to have
been paid by him on account OF
blackmail and in Improbable specu-
lation sill leaving a large sum unac-
counted fo2.
Warmer insists that he has not a
dollar left in the world. having trans,
ferred to the railway company his
home and all other property, includ-
ing the stocks of the various corpora
tions in which he was interested.
Officials Of he Big Four and detec
| tives working under them are mystl
| fed over the visit of strange man
and boy TO the Warmer home in
Wyoming Monday night. The boy
it is alleged. attempted to pass d
note to Warmer, but both the man
and the hoy, it is alleged. left the
so without their identity becoming
| known.
