IN JUSTICE TO MIR. pEERY


1t is possible that the Tribune did
not make it sufficiently plain in its
issue Of April :, that 8. ]. Peery
had nothing to do with his being
voted on AZ candidate for alderman
in the First Ward. However, we do
know positively that the effort to
elect him was made without his
knowledge or consent. and that the
work was continued in the face of
his protests, after he did learn of It:
that he was indignant over the mat
ter at the time. and would not have
served had he been elected.
The effort OF Mr.. Peery's friends
to execute a coup on election day
was touched on editorially in the
Tribune next day, as explicitly stated
in the article, not because Mr.. Peery
would not have made a good alder
man if elected. but to show what
could be done. if it were desired. by
an unscrupulous element in any elec-
tion where no interest is taken, and
nobdy goes to the trouble of voting.
This illustration still stands. There
is school election coming up in a
few weeks. and under ordinary cir
cumstances it will be hard to get
fifty voters to the polls.
The Greeley tribune., 1909-04-14

had any one among them wanted
; to be reelected if he could have be-
come so, from the mayor down. Three
of them tried it, two aldermen and
city clerk. Each one of these, We be-
lieve, had served the city conscienti-
ously and true for several years. So
far as we can recall not one of them
had ever been accused of doing any
thing more reprehensible as city
official than to do his duty imparti-
ally. And yet that very thing was
what defeated them. That very thing
is what would have defeated any
other man on the council who had
tried for reelection. Without doubt
the man who personally did more
work than any other upon the coun-
ell the past four years was Alderman
W. c. Wilson. and yet when a few OF
his friends that knew his good quail
ties and his efficiency as a city ON
cial tried to induce him to become
mayor of the city such a howl went
up from certain malcontents that he
felt it would be almost ruinous to his
private business to allow his name 10
be used. That was the reward from
the great. thoughtless mass of our
citizens. Is it any wonder that some
politicians become grafters and skin
the taxpayers and others for every
cent they can get hold Of? We want
to make plea for honesty in public
office, no matter how small. but we
want to make a still stronger plea
for honesty among the people. You
don't make it possible for an official
to serve you honestly. As soon as
you discover his good qualities you
oust him from the place he has so
well filled.
The retiring city officials in a re-
cent interview with each, published
in the Tribune gave a few excellent
| ideas that they would like to have
seen carried out during their term OF
Office. In every one you will find a
vein OF regret that they could not
see the work carried out. You are
hailing the incoming council as q
band of deliverers from bondage
What will you do with them when
they have served you faithfully for
two, four or six years? You will dis
charge them exactly in the order in
which they have served you the most
faithfully.

mission
CBy Associated Press.)

PASADENA, Cal, June 14.-Attor-
ney Van Dyke for the Sunset Tele-
phone and Telegraph company has
notified City Attorney Wood, repre-
senting Pasadena, that the counter
proposition of the city to the Sunsets
original proposition had been rejected
by the Sunset and notice was given
that the Sunset will ask an injunc-
tion restraining the city from inter-
fering with the service during the Pc
riod of an appeal from the decision of
Judge BordVell.
This throws the negotiations under
the twentyday armistice into the
waste paper basket and puts the city
in a position where, If the Sunset is
not granted an injunction by seven
days it again can cut the Sunset
cables and put the Pasadena service
out of commission.
The court of equity cannot grant an
injunction except in the premise of
irreparable injury. The Sunset by ac-
cepting the offer of the city, may es-
cape the injury threatened without in
junction.
The city believes the necessary
premise cannot be established nor can
the injunction be obtained. The in
junction argument will be heard be-
fore Judge Bordwell tomorrow.

BRAZIL'S RULER
DIES SUDDENLY
PRESIDENT PENNA EXPIRES AT
RIO JANEIR0
WAS ELECTED TO OFFICE THREE
YEARS AGO
Noted South American Was Once Vice
President and Minister Under
Dom Pedro Who Worked
for Republic
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, June 14.-President
Alphonse Penna of Brazil died at 7:SO
this morning, according to dispatch
received at the state department from
the American ambassador at Rio ia
nerio.
The death of Dr. Alphonso M. Penna,
president of Brazil, evidently was sud-
den.
Other than a dispatch received from
Rio Janerio last night saying that he
was gravely ill and that as a conse-
quence the ministers had been sum-
moned to the palace there had been no
intimatiOn that he was in i'll health.
DR.. Penna was elected to office by
universal suffrage in the twenty fed
Grated states in 1906 and assumed Of
flee in November of that year.
The term expires in 1910. He was
native of the state of Minas Geraes
and his success was the outcome of a
coalition of the principal states against
San Paulo, which has supplied all past
presidents.
DR.. Penna was one of Dom Pedro's
ministers who accepted and supported
the republic after its proclamation.
He was vice president of the republic
and president of the senate at the time
of his election to the chief magistracy.
The vice president of the republic to-
day is Milo Pecanha.
Among the important acts of DR..
Penna's administration was the au-
thorization of the S50,000 900 naval loan,
the reduction Of the duty on American
products, the raising of the duty on
sugar and the signing of an arbitra-
tion treaty with Argentina.

JAPAN PURCHASES
BIG GOLD SUPPLY

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-The
Japanese government has just pur-
chased from the United States mint in
this city gold ingots to the amount of
$2,250,000 for the announced purpose of
augmenting it's reserve fund to cover
a portion of its issue of bank notes.
1t has been the custom of Japan to
purchase gold in London, but con-
siderable saving has been effected by
the present transaction owing to the
favorable rate of exchange between
New York and London.
Secretary of State Knox has been re-
quested by Japanese Consul General
Sujikawa to communicate with the fed
eraI representatives in this city in re-
gard to furnishing such guard as may
be thought necessary to insure the safe
transfer of the gold from the mint to
whatever place may be designated
previous to its shipment to Japan.

German Lloyd Steamer Irene Arrives

(By Associated Press.)


GIBRALTAR, June 14.-The North
German Lloyd steamer Princess Irene
arrived here this afternoon having on
board the first class passengers of the
Cunard steamer Slavonia, which ran
ashore on the night of June 10 on Flores
island one Of the Azores group.
The Slavenia sailed from New York
on June 8, and met fair weather until
nearing the Azores, when fog set in.
She was under a good head of steam,
the passengers reported today, when
she struck a rock off Flores island.
The water rushed in and in an incred-
IDLY short time flooded the hold and
reached the engines.
The passengers were awakened by the
shock and hurried to the deck.
Steerage Excited
1t was then about 2:30 in the morn
ing.
The passengers of the first and sec
ond cabins behaved admirably but
steerage passengers showed much ex-
element.
The officers did everything possible
to reassure the passengers and the
band played popular airs,
A call for help was sent out by wire
less which was responded to by the
Princess Irene, but long before her ar
rival on the scene the Slavonia's own
boats landed the passengers.
The Princess Irene, which reached
the Slavonia later on Thursday even
ing, embarked the saloon passengers
the following morning.
They are unanimous in praising the
coolness and kindness shown by the
captain, the officers and the crew of
the wreaked steamer.
All the passengers with the excep-
ton of six remained on the Princess
Irene and are proceeding to Naples.
No one was injured. but according
to one of the passengers a steerage
passenger attempted to commit sui
eide.

MAN WHO CLAIMED
TO BE KING BURIED
Dies In New Jersey at Age of 81 Years.
Declared He Was True LineaI
Descendant of
James II

NEW YORK, June 14.-The body of
Edmund Montgomery Moffett, who all
his life claimed to be the rightful king
of England, was buried yesterday near
his home at Woodcliffe, N. j.
DR.. Moffett, who was So years old, was
born of good family in Cincinnati, and
for many years had a large medical
practice in this city from which he ac-
cumulated quite a fortune.
He and his immediate ancestors had
traced their genealogy back to 400 years
B. c., and DR.. Moffett claims to be the
true lineal descendant of King James
the Second.
His claim to the throne of Great Brit
ain came through Fergus I, first king of
Scotland, and down to Robert Bruce
and the Stuarts.
DR.. Moffett was a highly educated
man and only to his immediate friends
did he discuss his relationship with
royalty. He never made any formal
claim for the throne of England, con-
tenting himself with the belief that
the crown rightfully belonged to him.
