BAD MONEY IN BROOKLYN.

NEW YORK, May Counter
HAeit coins of small denomination have
been flooding the collection boxes at
the Sunday services of the Sacred
Heart church, in Degraw street, near
Hicks street, Brooklyn, since Easter.
Dortor Vogel, who has been pastor
of the church for the last fifteen
years, said Thursday that he could
not account for the bogus coins. Last
Monday he found at least thirty
nickels which bear the dates of the
years from 1901 to 1907. So per-
fectly are they made that it was al
most impossible for any one to de-
tect the deception.
The congregation is large one. 1t

PRESIDENT FOUND AT FAULT
NO AUTHORITY TO AUTHORIZE
STEEL MERGER.
Senator Kittredge's Conclusions
Ready to Submit to Subcom-
mittee on Judiciary.

The conclusion reached by Senator Kit
tredge. who has prepared a report of the
investigation of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company's absorption by the United
States Steel Corporation is that the mer
ger forms a combination in restraint of
trade. and that President Roosevelt had
no authority of law to sanction the deal.
The report will be submitted to the sub
committee on judiciary at a meeting to
be held late in the day. If adopted 1t
may form the basis of order to the
Department of Justice to bring action
against the steel corporation under the
Sherman antitrust law.
The kittredge report has been printed in
confidence and has been read by other
members of the special committee. which
is composed of Senators Clark of Wyom-
ing Dillingham;. Kittredge, Culberson and
Overman. 1t could not be learned today
whether other members of the committee
will present their views in individual
statements 1t is believed that Mr.. Gull

which the inquiry was conducted. intends
to do so. Any action taken by the sub
committee must have the approval OF the
judiciary committee before being present
ed to the Senate.
the merger that Mr.. kittredge deals par
ticularly. He quotes from the testimony
given by witnesses as indicating that
there was no actual business necessity
for the merger. This conclusion is only
incidental to the declaration that under
existing law the absorption of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company was illegal.

CINCINNATI. February 20.-The pres
ence here today of j. NJ. Dickinson. gem
eral counsel of the Illinois Central railway
SYSTEM and an immediate conference be-
tween himself and President-elect Taft.
presents strong circumstantial evidence
at least that decision is to be reached
as to who will be Mr.. Taft's Secretary Of
War.
Mr. Dickinson has been under consider
alton for this post for some time. That
he should come to Cincinnati for a con
ference would seem to make the reason
ing good that if he was sent for by Mr..
Taft it was for the purpose of extend
ing the honor, and ii he came at his
own initiative IT was for the purpose of
declining the honor.
Mr. Taft maintains his attitude of si-
lence on the subject. Mr.. Dickinson VIII
not discuss the matter.
The presence here yesterday of
Charles Nagel of st. Louis is likewise
regarded the opportunity for an
offer TO him by Mr.. Taft of the Com
merce and Labor portfolio and it's az
ceptance.
The Treasury Department head, dc-
cording to all that can be learned here,
is perhaps the remaining one place i'll
the cabinet regarding which no de-
cision has been reached.

made the occasion for many calls upon
him by his old friends and neighbOrs.

Two American Challenges
for International Air Race

NEW YORK, February 20.-All Ameri-
can aviators with flying machines that
really fly will be interested in the action
of the Aero Club of America yesterday,
when its board of directors cabled to
Paris two challenges for the fifteen-thou-
sand-d dollar national aviation prize and
cup offered several months ago. and which
will be frs; competed for this year. En-
tries for this prize will close March ].
The 1909 competition will take place in
France, and the winner will take the
trophy home to the national club of which
he is member The prize will extend
over three years and is open to aviators
of every country whose aero club belongs
to the International Aeronautic Fedora
ton. Each successive winner will receive
5000 and the cup.
1t had been expected that the Wright
brothers would enter the competition
either in France or the United States, and
il seemed practically certain they would
win it, cable from Wilbur Wright he
Gently stated that neither he nor his
brother could enter the contest this year.
In this country there are at least two
men who it is believed may enter the COM
petition. They are A. NJ. Herring of this
city and Glenn II. Curtiss of Hammonds-
port, n. Y. both of whom have aero
planes of much promise. In Europe
Henry Farman and Leon Deiagrange of
France are supposed to have the lead; but
it is the belief of the Aero Club directors
that within the next few months other
inventors may come forward here or
abroad with machines that will eclipse all
former achievements in the air.
Cortlandt Field Bishop, president of the
Aero Club of America, said yesterday that
the offer of this prize would do more to
stimulate substantial interest and effort
in mechanical fight than anything hith-
erto offered.
Charles Levee of the Aero Club of
France and ii. +. Honeywell of the Aero
Club of ST. Louis were yesterday granted
pilots licenses by the Aero Club Of Amer
leo. making twenty pilots now attached
to the American club.
Announcement was made that through
the efforts of Leo Stevens, an aeronaut
of this city, all the express companies of
the United States have agreed upon a
new rate for the transportation of bal
looms. which is now the same as the rate
for ordinary merchandise. This reduces
the cost of transportation about one-nalf.
The new rate goes into effect March 10.
1t is believed that this move will greatly
increase the number of ascensions during
the coming summer Aeroplanes are still
an unrecOgniZed commodity with the eX-
press companies. and whenever trans
ported they have to be shipped under
some other classification.
The date of the third annual banquet
of the Aero Club was set for March 20
at the Hotel ST. Regis. when many nota-
BILE aeronautS and inventors will be pres
ent.

MI. Taft Said to Have Yielded to
Presidents Desire to Pay
Old Score.

President Roosevelt is said To he TAX
ing a few whacks with the big stick a he
journeys along toward the end of his
presidential career. Senator Hemenway of
Indiana being the latest victim. The Pres
ident makes no bones of the fact that he
is good hater, and that he makes it a
point to get his opponents when he
can. He is credited with preventing the
appointment of Senator Hemenway in the
Taft cabinet as Secretary of the Treas
ury.
Several days ago d number of repub-
licans of prominence in the Senate and
House decided that Senator HemenWav.
whose term expires with this Congress,
would make good Secretary OF the
Treasury. They put forward two arSu-
mentS. namely:
That Senator Hemenway. by reason
of his service in the House as chair
man of the appropriations committee
and as member of the Senate committee,
was in thorough touch with the needs
of the government and with financial
affairs generally.
Popular in Congress.
Second that his popularity in botn
branches of Congress would inurc to
harmony between the executive and
Congress through his service in the
cabinet of the new President. 1t is
said that Nh Taft was impressed with
these arguments and took under most
favorable consideration the suggestions

1t had been generally believed that he

but he did not do so. 1t became known
before leaving Spain he had promised
Queen Victoria and Premier Maura that
he would not go up into the air under any
circumstances.
The king evinced the greatest interest
in the aeroplane as an engine Of war.
He deplored the fact that he could not
make a trial flight.
Hart O. Berg. the European business
manager of the Wrights. had an interview
with the king last night at which the
arrangements for him to witness the
flights of today were completed. The
king told of his promise not to fly.
Has Promised to Be Good.
He iaughngly recalled the cabinet crisis
produced several years ago when Premier
Maura resigned because the king had not
needed his warning to run his automobile
slower through the streets of Madrid.
Continuing. he said he was soldier above
everything else. and that he had come

formed that the aeroplane. when devel-
oped, was destined TO become of the great

the first sovereign TO fly. but he had given
| his solemn promises before he left home
not to be led into making an ascent. Mr..

| of gliding over the cushioning air, but
the king signed and said:

cital of the success OF the Wrights; how
