Bulgaria Germany and Austria some
time ago, according to a Sofia dis

VIII Clarity Balkans.
Berlin, Oct. 5.-Russia's ultimatum
to Bulgaria has made a deep impress
sion here, but has resulted in feel
ing of relief because of the convic-
ton that the moment has arrived

hours. The general opinion is that
Bulgaria cannot yield to Russia's de-

even cause the pro-Russian element to
rally to the support of the govern

Allies to Emulate Russia.
Paris, Oct. 5.-Russia's ultimatum
to Bulgaria is welcomed in Paris as a
means of clearing the Balkan situa-

France will take similar action and
that If the Russian minister departs
from Sofia he will be accompanied by
the representatives of Great Britain
and France and Italy.

THE FIRST TELEGRAM.
II Wa Not the Famous Message Sent
by Morse's Daughter.

Hidden away in the archives of the
Tennessee Historical society at Nash.
vile is the account of the first actual
message eve sent over a telegraph
line. That dispatch differs materially
from the solemn message that passed
over the wire between Washington
and Baltimore In the year 1874. 1t il
Illustrates well, however, the lack Of
seriousness with which Mr.. Morse's
Invention was taken when he first Of
tered it to the world.
According to the account preserved
at Nashville, Hon. Robert L. Caruthers
of Lebanon, Tenn, was a member Of
Congress in 1S43, and a member of
the committee to which was referred
Mr.. Morse's application for an appro-
priation to build a telegraph line from
Washington to Baltimore. Most of the
members Of the committee looked
upon Morse as a visionary, and his pro.
posal as impracticable.
On the last day of the session Morse
went to the committee room and told
them that he had stretched q wire to
the top Of the capitol building and
had a young man up there. If they
would write a message he would send
It up, and the young man would bring
them a copy of it. None Of them be-
lieved it could be done. Judge Caruth-
ers, however. pulled the envelope of a
letter out of his pocket and wrote a
message. Mr.. Morse, who had his In
strument with him, sat down and sent
the message. In q few minutes the
young man walked into the room with
an exact copy of the message. The
committee reported favorably, and rec.
commended the appropriation.
The bill passed just before the ad.
journment. Some one went to MI.
Morse's boarding house to inform him
that the appropriation was made. The
daughter Of the landlady went to Mr..
Morse's room, walked him and gave
him the welcome news. He said to
her, MY daughter, you shall send the
first message that goes from Washing
ton to Baltimore" That promise was
fulfilled when she sent the famous
message: What hath God wrought"
Judge Caruthers was an ardent
Wing. and in 1S43 the Wings were
very angry with President Tyler,
whom they accused of betraying the
party. The message that Judge Ca
ruthers sent from the committee room
to the young man at the top of the
Capitol was, Tyler deserves to be
hanged."-Youth's Companion.

~ 100 Million Powder Order

Officials Of the E. I. DUPONT deNe-
mours Powder Company decline to
discuss a report, generally credited that
the company has received a contract
from the Allies for powder to the value
of 500, 900, 900, OF possibly $3.50, OO0, 900,
to be delivered by 1917. They would
neither deny nor affirm the report.
About the DUPONT building, however,
it was generally accepted that the
amount of the contract is In excess of
800, 0,O0O, and that it may go to the
other figure.
This will keep the company busy un-
til 1917, and it Is believed that the con-
Germ will be busy on powder contracts
for the next three years at least.
1t is generally understood hat in or
der TO handle this CONTRACT it will be
necessary to enlarge some of the plants,
and three new units may be added TO
the plant at Hopewell, Va. This will
greatly increase the capacity and will
make 1t the largest explosives works in
the world. In addition to making
smokeless powder, the plant makes
most of the %guncotton which is used in
the other smokeless powder plants of
the company. 1t is intended to add
ten units to this plant, but it is expect
ed that work will be commenced on
three of them at once.
For some reason, there does not ap-
pear to be an inclination to enlarge the
plant at Carney's Point. and according
to the people there, No. A plant, which
had been contemplated. will not be
built. Most Of the men who have been
engaged on construction work at the
Garney's Point plant are preparing to
go to either Haskell, in New Jersey,
where the company is making improve
ment, or to Hopewell. The company
declines to discuss any of it's business,
but it Is generally understood that Car
ney's Point isA finished.-Salem Stand

An Impractical Suggestion

The suggestion that the next New
Jersey Legislature enact a law granting
to women the right of suffrage on Presi-
Dental electors Is most unreasonable.
In the first place, the legislature would
have no moral right to enact such q
law, even if 1t had the pc wei to do go.
The people have spoken on the question
of woman's suffrage and they alone are
competent to set aside the verdict.
Secondly, it is very doubtful II the
Legislature has a lawful right to extend
the franchise. The Federal Constitu-
ton provides that each state shall zap
point electors in such manne as the
Legislature thereof may direct" On
the face Of it, this would seem to carry
the very widest powers. "Literally
constructed, " as the Newark News OBJ
serves, s'a Legislature might declare
that only Democrats should be permit
ted to vote for electors, or 1t might limit
the right to bald headed men or red
haired women. But it is obvious that
such broad construction cannot be ac-
cepted."
In the early days of the nations his
tory, the legislatures did In fact APP
point the Presidential electors. In 1870
a law was enacted in this State provid-
ing that the electors should be appoint
ed by the Council, as the Senate was
then called, and the General Assembly,
and this system prevailed for several
years. Just when it was changed we
do not know, but in the general election
law of 1846 provision was made for their
election by the duly qualified voters,
and this method has since prevailed.
The present State Constitution, adopted
in 1916, in prescribing who may exer-
else the right of suffrage, says that
"every male citizen of the United
States, of the age of twenty-one years,
who shall have been a resident of this
State one year, and of the county in
which he claims his vote five months,
next before the election, shall be en-
titled to vote for all officers that now
are or hereafter may be, elective by the
people,"
While the Legislature might have re-
tanned in its own hands the power OF
appointing electors, yet having vested
that power in the hands of the voters,
as did every other State, it is exceed
ingly doubtful If 1t could now go back
of the Constitutional provision defining
the qualifications of voters. It would
be very unwise to attempt 1t, at all
events.-West Jersey Press.

wildwood Gas Increase Held Up

Trenton. Nov. 1.-The Board of Pub
lie Utility Commissioners today issued
two orders relating to the gas situation
at Wild wood. Oae suspends an in

Wild wood Gas Company and the other

for q hearing to determine whether the

The reason for the first order lies in
the fact that the Wild wood Gas Com

gas is turned on, and an additional
charge OF 81 to each Of its customers

Board says, will apparently result in
an increase in the charges of the COM

ositions is ordered, pending the hearing
