NO new COINS
FOR CHRISTMAS

Those who have been eagerly look
ing forward TO Christmas with the
expectation of receiving presents of
bright and shining silver quarters and
half-dollars will, in most instances,
be disappointed this year.
circular has been sent to the
banks of this city by the Treasury
Department of the United States. an
nouncing that no new silver quarters
or half dollars would be issued TO
the banks this year for the holiday
trade The circular reads as follows:
There are at the present time
about S1S,000.000 of current silver
halves and quarters in the Treasury
al Washington and in the various
subtreasuries. All OF this coin has
been at one time or another in circu-
lation. but is in condition for contin-
ued circulation. as it may be desired
by banks and others In view Of the
above fact, successful governmental
administration does not Justify the
purchase of silver bullion, and its
conversion into halves and quarters
for the purpose of simply gratifying
wish for bright, new coin. The JUS
tice and propriety of this view will
undoubtedly appeal to bankers and
others, who, particularly during the
fall months file applications for
large amounts of silver coin desired
for the holiday trade. II is. there
fore. with regret that we are com
PEELED to refuse applications for new
halves and quarters wanted for com
mercial purposes"
The circular is signed by Lee Nc
Clung, Treasurer of the United States.
Ohicers Of several local banks said
yesterday that this action of the gov
ernment would subject them to much
inconvenience and ANNOYANCE They
we're unanimous in their statement
that the demand on the banks for new
coins during the weeks preceding the
Christmas holidays was enormous.
and that if they we're unable to meet
this many and insistent complaints
were made by their customers.

.DOUBLESIN 4YEARS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.--The Socialist
vote in the United States at last
Tuesdays election was nearly 100 per
cent. greater than the vote cast for
that party's candidates in the Prcsi-
dental election of 1908.
The spread of the doctrine seems
not TO have been confined to any par
ticular section nearly every State
showing an unusual increase.
II is believed that when all the
returns have been canvassed it will be
found that a score or more Socialists
throughout the country will have
been elected to State Legislatures.
Kansas has elected one to the State
Senate and one to be a member of the
General Assembly.
Vote Exceeded Taft's.
From the far South comes the story
that in Mississippi Debs received n
total vote greater than President
Taft California gave him $3.50
votes, or 1881 more than four years
ago. Minnesota on the north went a
little better with her Socialist vote
in 1908. returning an estimated .otal
Of $4,000 Debs ballots.
In New York. the Socialists polled
49,9S6. an increase OF II. .535, and in
Pennsylvania they nearly doubled
their vote. Indiana. Kansas. Nebras-
ka, Arkansas. Louisiana. Mississippi.
Virginia and Washington are among
the States which trebled. or nearly
trebled their vote for the Socialist
candidates.
IN Indiana the movement was
largely recruited by dissatisfied men
ed, the total increase being go per
cd. tire total increase being 270 per
cent over the Debs vote of 1908.
Lost Only Congressman.
A loss which is keenly felt by So.
cialists. although they pretend to
ake the result philosophically. is the
defeat OF their only representative in
Congress. Victor Berger. who lost IN
election in Wisconsin by a combina-
ton of Republicans and Democrats
Tho Socialists. however. nearly dou-
bled thoir vote in that State.
The Socialist vote cast in some Of
The counties OF West Virginia caused
the hair Of the leaders Of the old line
PARTIES to stand on end. Debs gain
i'm the State WAS nearly 500 per cent
IN Kanawha county the Socialist
candidate fer Sheriff got nearly 5000
votes. few less than the Demo-
cratic candidate. Who vas defeated by
1000 by the successful Republican
candidate II is believed the great
Socialist vote in Kanawha was due
10 the minors strike. which has been
IN progress for four months. They
htterly resented the presence Of the

LACE DEALER ENDS LIFE
Leon Pearl, Despondent Over
Failure, Hangs Himself.

Leon Pearl. at one time a prosperous
jobber OF laces at No. so Broadway, COM
mitted suicide yesterday by hanging him
self from a transom at his home, Boule-
ward and Atlantic avenue Arverne. His
body was discovered by Mrs. VI. Vietch
owner of the Atlantic villa, where Pearl,
his wife and one son made their home.
Pearl had accumulated a large sum OF
money in the lace business, when a year
ago he met with reverses and lost prac-
tically everything he had. Since then he
had been continually brooding over his
business troubles.
His wife and son came 10 Manhattan
early yesterday afternoon, leaving him
alone for the first time in several weeks.
Pearl had evidently been contemplating
suicide, for he ended his life shortly after
they left the house. When DR.. Weinstein,
of the Rockaway Beach Hospital. arrived
I'm answer to a call he said Pearl must have
been dead several hours.
Mrs. Pearl told the police last night that
she could assign no reason for her hus-
bands act other than that he was de-
spondent. She said that he appeared to be
in cheerful mood when she left the house.
