VOTE DOWN PLAN
FOR CITY TICKET
East Orange Progressives Re-
fuse to lndorse Local
Candidates.

The East Orange branch of the Bull
Moose party at a largely ly-attended
meeting last night voted down prop
osition to have a complete city ticket
in the field. The plan of indorsing
some candidates had been meeting
with favor with many of the mem
bers, but the speakers against the
motion finally convinced the ma
jcrity it would be unwise to have a
local ticket. If the members desired
Z TO run men in the wards they can
do so, but not with the support OF
the organization.
Herman p. Walker. who has an
nounced his candidacy for Congress
In the Ninth district. was speaker
rat the meeting and gave an extended
talk on the tariff. He believes the
tariff should be changed gradually.
The best plan to pursue, he said,
would be the appointment of COM
mission of experts to make study of
prices i'm this country and Europe,
and from their findings to revise and
improve the tariff regulations. He did
not favor more 4battleships, he said,
but was willing to abide by his con-
stituents on this.
Mr.. Walker also spoke at length on
the control of trusts and favored the
appointment of commission to con-
trol them. At the conclusion of his
talk several of the members discussed
the question from every viewpoint.
Three delegates from each district
were named for the county conven-
tion.
The club met for the first time in
the new headquarters at 399 Main
street The headquarters will be
opened every evening and literature
will be distributed to voters.

Colomto.-Mr Rice, the Marconi
expert, who came to Ceylon recently
to superintend the erection of the
new wireless station, says the site is
excellent, although a long way out,
and that the station, when completed.
will be one of the most up to date
in the east. The apparatus is of the
best, and includes the latest inven-
tons. The station will have a guar
anteed range over water of $50 miles
At night, he thinks, under favorable
conditions, this distance will be ex-
ceeded considerably, and he puts a
range of 1000 miles as not outside
the realms of possibility. He consid-
ers that both Bombay and Calcutta

THINKS SCOTT
GO! THERE, TOO
Amundsen Not Sole DisCoVerer,
Says Peary.
PEARY ARCTIC CLUB MEETS
Unique Medal, Made Of Blue Dia-
mond and Meteorite, Is Pre-
scented To the Discoverer
OF the North Pole.

New York.-Rear Admiral Robert
E. Peary, retired, who discovered the
North Pole, is Of the opinion that both
Amundsen, the Norwegian, and Cap
tain Scott, the Englishman, attained
the South Pole. He expressed this
view in an address at a celebration
marking the third anniversary of his
discovery at which he was honored
by unique medal made up in part of
a meteoric which he brought from the
Arctic regions in 1897.
Admiral Peary declared that from
his study of the competition between
Amundsen and Scott, he believed the
Englishman had also been successful
in reaching the South Pole about the
middle of January, or about month
later than Amundsen reached it.
The polar celebration was under
the auspices of the Peary Arctic Club,
the American Geographical Society
and the American Museum of Natural
History 1t was held in the Museum
Building and attended by large num-
only Admiral Peary's achievement, but
the discovery of the South Pole and
the inauguration of the new Croker
land expedition were objects of the
celebration. President Henry Fairfield
Osborne, of the museum, presided and
Zenas Crane presented Admiral Peary
with the medal.
1t was fivepointed star or sections
of the great Ahnighito meteorite which
Admiral Peary brought from Cape
York Is years ago. In the center Of
the star around a blue-white diamond,
is the inscriptions: "Peary Arctic Club
to Robert E. Peary, April 6, 1872 in
scribed in enamel, with the dates of
five definite achievements of the ex-
plorer, the Pole in 1903; the farthest
North in 1906; establishing the in
sularity OF Greenland in 1900; secur-
ing the great meteorites, 1897, and
the crossing of Greenland in 1892. The
medal will be deposited with others
of the Peary collection in the National
Museum at Washington.
In replying to the presentation ad-
dress, Admiral Peary spoke of the
Antarctic exploration and after ex.
pressing his belief that Scott, as well
as Amundsen, had attained the Pole,
he said Amundsen's journey had
demonstrated conclusively that the
Eskimo dog was the one and only
motive power for polar expeditions.

GOV. WILSON ROBBED.
His Letters and Other Papers Stolen
From a Chicago Hotel.

Chicago.-Burglars with undeniable
political affiliations Sunday raided the
rooms of Gov. Woodrow Wilson in the
Sherman House during his absence at
st. Mary's Refractory and stole all his
private correspondence, vouchers and
other documents. Two men did the
work, which was carefully planned.
They escaped in a taxicab, being
driven to the Union Station, but it is
thought this was blind and that they
are still in the city, having delivered
the stolen documents to their en-
ployer.
Governor Wilson said he regretted
the loss of letters, which were strictly
personal, but predicted that the
thieves and their employer would be
disappointed, as there was nothing
that could be published that would
injure him or his cause. William C.
Niblack, president Of the Wilson Club
of Illinois, was more outspoken. He
said: 1T was undoubtedly a dirty
political trick in line with the cam
paign of lies and yituperation being
waged against Governor Wilson by the
yellow sensational press"

original issue was then sanctioned by
law. The smallest denomination OF
these early issues was $50, for the
treasury hoped that means might be
found for using silver and gold in
minor transactions. Before the end Of
the year the authorized issue had
again been exceeded, and in spite of
oft renewed good resolutions the Con-
federacy by July, 1868, had $1,OOO,OOO,-
600 of notes outstanding. For few

Confederate Money Still Used to

First Issue of Currency in South
Problems That Confronted the
Treasury of the Confederacy
During the War.

Observation-Disclosures money is still
a favorite medium of the confidence
man in his dealings with the raw i'm
migrant, though it is hardly a cur
rency to deceive any man acquainted
with the countrys history or even
with the negotiable paper money of to-
day. 1t is not surprising that confed-
half a century as to make it more
valuable to the confidence man than
to the collector when one realizes the
immense amount turned out by the
industrious presses of the Confed-
eracy.
The Confederate treasury kept on
printing paper money almost up to the
fall Of Richmond. A note dated Rich
mond, February II, 1864, declares
upon its face: THE Confederate
States of America will pay $40 to bear
er two years after the ratification Of
a treaty of peace between the Confed-
crate States and the United States of
America" When the Confederate
treasury began business there was a
clear enough perception among the
public men of the Confederacy that
cheap money would be one Of their
governments perils. They had been
brought up in the old democratic
monetary theory of a currency COM
posed of gold and silver at fixed
ratio intended to correspond with
their relative bullion value, and paper
money based upon such currency
Almost exactly fifty years ago the is
