Neither alternative. It is believed,

he will yield.

STATE NOT
TO BORROW
Not Necessary to Issue Certi-
fiCateS Of Indebtedness Au-
thOrized by legislature
MONEY CAME In
BETTER THAN EXPECTED

IL has not been found necessary by
State Treasurer d. O. Marvel TO issue
the $4,000 certificates Of indebtedness
authorized by the last Legislature to
meet the general expenses OF the state
for the year 1909. This indicates that
the States finances are far better than
was forecasted during the early part Of
the year, and there is no deficiency
but on the contrary there Is likely to
be surplus at the end OF the present
year.
The financial outlook for the state
was not very good during February
and March last. as the fees from in
corporations and other sources were
falling Off and It was feared that there
would not be enough money IN the
State treasury to meet the general ex-
penses of the State for 1909. The sub
ject was considered at length by the
members Of the Legislature. and the
result was the enactment Of a law au-
thorizing the State Treasurer TO borrow
up 70 $4,000 by issuing notes or GER
tifcates OF indebtedness Of $1,000 each.
dated from December /. 1909, as might
be necessary TO meet the general ex-
penses Of the State. The law provided
that the certificates should be signed
by the Governor. Secretary Of State and
State Treasurer. which officials were
TO arrange for the sale or disposition
Of said notes OF indebtedness.
During the year the revenues Of the
State have been much greater than
were anticipated and Governor Penne-
will and State Treasurer Marvel and
Secretary of State Smithers have not
found it necessary to issue the GER
tihcates OF Indebtedness.
Evidently the inpouring OF revenues
is due to the activity Of Secretary OF
State Smithers in gathering corpora
ton fees. State Treasurer Marvel in
gathering the States moneys and State
Collector Of Revenue Harry w. Chairs
in getting after money that the State
heretofore has not gotten. Mr.. Chairs
has combed the State from one enc
to the other and has collected thou
sands OF dollars in taxes and license.
that the State missed before he wa.

Thermometer Made Down.
ward Dash During Coolest
Night Of Winter
MILKMEN SAID
IT WAS FIVE BELOW
Temperature at q. nn., 2 above.
Temperature at noon, i6 above.


The temperature at noon today fol-
lowing a fall to degrees above zero
at the extremity of the city this morn
ing at sunrise brings hope that the
severe cold wave that reached this city
from the West last night is passing.
Today is easily the coldest of the
winter. but an unclouded sun made It
far more pleasant than other days
when the temperature has been consid-
erably higher.
The temperature dropped steadily all
day yesterday from 26 degrees at s
o'clock in the morning to 10 at mid
night. In the city at o'clock this
morning 8 degrees were recorded and
at the Concord turnpike the mercury
went as 10 was degrees. In the coun-
try the cold was most trying. Milkmen
from places in Brandywine hundred
say that the thermometer registered
3 degrees below zero early this morn
ing. Milkmen from places in Brandy
wine hundred say that the thermom-
eter registered degrees below zero
early this morning Milk left at front
door steps was frozen solid. The pave
ments and streets where the snow had
been trodden down were CLASSY and
the need of sprinkled ashes to make
walking safe was felt by many early
risers, who likewise felt the pavements.
The great banks of snow all over the
city soon became crusted at sun
rise and could bear a mans body, while
some OF the lighter vehicles crunched
over it without sinking. The drop in
temperature removed hope of the thaw-
ing away of the hindering banks and
many predicted that they would re-
main until the end Of the winter as
monuments to one of the most trying
periods this city has ever experienced.
Hope is revived, however. by the grad
ual rise in the temperature during the
forenoon.
The pond in Cool Spring Park and
other small bodies of water are in
condition for skating and will doubtless
be thronged by school children this
afternoon.

ANXIOUS TO SEE
QUEER AIRSHIP
TilIinghaSt Has New England
erS Guessing About His
Mysterious MOnOpIane

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
BOSTON. Dec. Wallace +. TIL
linghast's mysterious aeroplane which
by flights over New England cities
during the past month has stirred a
curiosity almost unparalleled is to be
exhibited at the Boston Aero Show
to be held there February 16 to Feb
ruary %. At least that is the declara-
tion Of William Hunt, manager for the
Worcester aviator.
Hunts promise comes as the result
Of a visit paid Tillinghast at Worcester
by Percy Edgar, a representative Of
the shows promoters. Edgar did not
confer with Tillinghast. who is stin
keeping in the background. but Hunt.
who represents him. declared that when
the show opened the mysterious mono-
plane would be on hand for exhibit
tion.
That Tillinghast is not sprlnging
gigantic hoax on the people Of New
England. but that he really has a Won
derful aeroplane is rapidly becoming
the general belief here. II has been
learned that a few months ago TiIling-
hast had shipped to him from France
via New York two aerial engines, one
an Antoinette motor and the other
Curtiss 80. These engines are not now
in Tillinghast's Worcester workshop
and it Is believed they have been trans
ferred to his secret aerodrome and are
now perhaps being used on the secret
night flights.
Despite the opportunities OF scores
of newspaper men and other interested
persons, Tillinghast still maintains his
rpSpryp NNhan cornprad and e-lyo1
fatty when he will come out in the
open he still reiterates his statement
that he has the aeroplane that it is
wonder but closes the discussion with
the declaration:
I'm show ii to the world when I'm
Eand and ready not hafora."
