CITY council was held on
Wednesday evening. The chief
item of interest that was dispos-
ed of was that it was decided
that this present council should
retain the two policeman,
Messrs. Mckinney and Corbin,

service to the town, during the

much the fact that since the
present board of teachers was
reelected, that Misses Bessie

Burton is the assistant in the

teacher and also that of music
teacher are vacant, thus making
four vacancies in the entire
faculty.
The music recital given by
the advanced pupils of Miss Fay
Sellers class on Friday evening
at the school auditorium prov
ed a brilliant success in every
way and was a treat to many
music lovers that were present.
Many new selections were
given and each player showed
that she had been excellently
trained.
Mrs. W. E. Mays was charm
ing hostess on last Friday after
noon to the Ergatakin club, to-
gether with a number of her
friends that co not belong to
this club, making the affair a
most delightful and informal
affair. A tempting ice course
was served.
The first picnic of the season
was given on last Thursday
afternoon by the pupils and
teachers of the high school.

TRENTON Is NEWEST
SEAPORT FOR JERSEY

With the completion of the new
12-foot channel in the Delaware river
between Philadelphia and Trenton the
New Jersey capital realizes it's long
cherished ambition to become a sea-
port-a high dignity which is to be
appropriately celebrated tomorrow by
an excursion from here under the
auspices of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association.
1t is given to few cities located l3o
miles from the ocean to become sea-
ports, and Trenton may well be proud
of her new honor. Baltimore enjoys
the distinction of being even farther
from the briny, and finds no trouble in
attracting commerce to it's docks.
Albany N. Y, is some 14O miles from
the Atlantic, and possibly might be
an important seaport if not so COM
pletely overshadowed by the mighty
metropolis at the mouth of the Hud-
son. There are towns along the Mis-
sissippi even farther from sea water,
but the eccentricities of that unman-
ageable stream prevent them firm
figuring as real ports of call.
Philadelphia will be glad to see
Trenton develop as a seaport. 1t
has great industries which can make
good use of water transportation, and
the new competition should put the
railroads on their mettle and make
them improve their service. And be-
tween here and Trenton there are a
dozen pleasant towns which will be
benefited by the deeper channel and
should be brought into closer relations
with Philadelphia. The Delaware is
broad enough for all the commerce
that all of them can foster,
Looking to the future, it is not
hard to imagine the day when the
projected ship canal. already sur
veyed between the Delaware and the
Raritan, will be built and when a
great feet of vessels will use it, pass
ing by Philadelphia on their way to
and from Northern and Southern
ports. Then the Delaware will need
a channel deeper and wider than it
now has to accommodate these argo-
sizes of trade. In the meantime we
congratulate Trenton on its new hon.

WASHINGTON LETTER
RY H,R. INN STAR STAFF
WALKER AEIllgSsI2RE SPoNDENT
CURRENCY STORM BREWING

currency committee, and Senator
owen, chairman of the Senate COM
mittee, had agreed on a bill to be in
troduced this week. with the uTfder-
standing that this bill was to be
forced to quick passage in the House
under caucus rule. and passed in the
Senate as an administration measure
as soon as the tariff was out of the
way.
So far had this program progressed
that copies of the bill had been given
to some senators and members for
study, and the copy was in the hands
of the government printer, with the
understanding that it would be ready
for introduction and general distribu-
ton today. The bill, as agreed upon,
provided for currency to be printed
by the government, for fifteen
regional reserve or currency associa-
tions of banks through the country.
and national board of control to
distribute currency to the banks, regu-
late it's circulation and as fast as
possible secure the substitution OF
the government notes for outstand-
ing national bank notes.
National banks were to be given the
currency upon deposit of national,
State and municipal bonds, and some
other securities, and were to be taxed
one-half of 1 per cent. upon the
amount of currency used by them.
Mr.. Bryan's Attitude.
Features of the bill recognizing as
sets of the banks as basis for circu-
lation aroused objection among many
Democrats when they became known.
1t is denied by the President that
Secretary Bryan interfered in the
matter, and Mr.. Bryan won't talk
about it, but it is known that after
a long conference at the White House
between him and the President, fol-
lowed by a long night conference in
which the President, Glass, Owen
and McAdoo took part, the order to
print copies of the bill agreed upon
was suddenly countermanded, the
conferees became tongue-tied when
questioned about the situation, and
only the President remained cheer
fully optimistic as to the outcome for
carrying out the program.
Secretary Bryan has since 1896 con-
sistently expressed himself strongly
on the money and currency question,
and is known to believe very strong
ly in the idea that the issuance of
money is properly a governmental
function. 1t is rumor at the capitol
that Bryan saw danger in the Glass
owen bill of giving the banks
domination of the currency, and that
it was his objection which called a
halt in the program.

Why" resumed Darrow, how, if
Monsieur X was a hundred miles or
so away, as Eldridge figured, did he
know that Mccarthy had not obeyed
him? We must suppose from the
probable fact of that knowledge that
either Monsieur x had an accomplish
who was keeping him informed, or
he must be near enough to get the
information himself"
There is third possibility"
broke in Jack. Monsieur X might
have sent along his sign at c
o'clock. anyhow, just for general re-
sults''
barrow nodded his approval
Good boy, Jack" said he. THAT
is just the point I could not be sure
about. But finally, at that time, you
will remember, when I predicted Nc.
Carthy's disappearance, Monsieur X
made definite threat. He said"
observed Darrow. consulting one of
the bundles of papers he held in his
hand.
My patience is at an end Your
last warning will be sent you at $50
this morning. If you do not sail
on the Celtic at noon, l shall
strike and so forth. The Celtic sailed
at noon, without Mccarthy. At 1890
came the first message to the people
calling on them to deliver up the
traitor that is among you How did
Monsieur X know that Mccarthy had
not sailed on the Celtic? The answer
is now unavoidable: either an accom-
plice must have sent him word to
that effect. or he must have deter
mined the fact for himself.
II eliminated the hypothesis of an
accomplice on the ordinary grounds
of plain common-sense. They don't
grow two such crazy men at once;
and one crazy man is naturally too
suspicious to hire help. l took it for
granted. Had to make a guess some
where; but. contrary to our legal
friends. I believe that enough coinci-
dences indicate a certainty. But if
Monsieur X himself saw the Celtic
sail without Mccarthy, and got back
to his instrument within a half hour,
it was evident he could not be quite
so far away as Eldridge and the rest
of them thought"
zone thing spoke up Jack, 81
often wondered what you whispered
to Simmons to induce him to pass
those messages over to you Mind
telling?"
Not bit Simmons is an excep-
tional man. He has nerve and intelli-
gence. | just pointed out to him the
possibility that Monsieur x might
have control over heat vibrations.
He saw the public danger at once.

While all inquirers at the White
House have been constantly assured
this week that there Is entire party
harmony over the plans for an ad-
ministration currency bill, a sudden
hitch in these plans resulted yester-
day in the announcement that the
measure will not be introduced until
next week. At the same time a pro-
test by members of the House COM
mittee on banking and currency
against the Introduction of the bill
until that committee has had a
chance to study it. and a conference
between Representative Henry, of
Texas, and Samuel Untermyer,
concerning plans for forcing con-
tinuance of the money trust investi-
cation, gave substantiation to my
story of Monday that there is a
storm brewing over the currency
issue
Accepting the Presidents explana-
ton that the differences among mem
bers of the party are over methods
rather than purpose. it is still true
that the differences of opinion over
methods promise to lead to something
very like fight if the plans for jam
ming through a White House bill as
a caucus measure are persisted in
The CapItoI's Opposition.
At the outset there is a lot of OPP
position at the capitol to the idea of
having currency legislation made at
the White House. Even Democrats
with the friendliest disposition for
the administration protest against
making a currency bill a party meas
ure. There is vigorous protest, too,
by Democratic progressives against
the idea of making the House and
Senate mere rubber stamps to o. X.
bills sent from other places for pas
sage. The most serious disagreement,
however, is over the question of what
the financial legislation shall be.
The administration plan is for a
bill dealing only with the currency,
while a goodly proportion of Demo-
Gratis in the House and Senate are
demanding that any financial legisla-
ton attempted should take into con-
sideration the disclosures and recon-
mendations made by the Pujo inves-
tigating committee. and not only give
more elasticity to the currency but
also go as far as possible In destroy
ing the money trust.
