COMPANY E.
MEETS ELKTON
Hard Fought Game In Mary
land Town

In hard fought game of bas-
ketball at Elkton last Wednes-
day night, Company E of New
ark defeated Company E of Elk
ton, 43 to AZ. The game was
close and rough throughout but
the play was marred by the fire.
quent disputes of the Elkton
team. Their tactics were un-
sportsmanlike during the entire
forty minutes and at the end of
the game the score stood 38 to 81
in favor of Newark, with every
one but the Elkton team who
claimed tie. A five minute ex-
ira period was played in which
Newark scored two field goals
and two fouls against two field
goals and one foul for the home
team. After the De ava e
Militiamen had left the floor the
Elkton team suddenly decided
that the score was still tied at AZ
but Manager Foster justly claim
ed the game a 43 to AZ victory as
did the entire audience.
The feature of the game was
the playing of Reeder, star
from Tennessee, who scored
twenty-eig of Newark's points.
An attempt has been made to
schedule a game with Elkton to
be played here but the latter
team refuses to return the game.
The local company's next game is
with the fast Oxford (Pa.) team,
in the Armory on Wednesday
evening, February 9. A good and
fast game is expected. Score:

Dance Last Night
a Great Success

The dance last night given by the
Carson Band was big success, both
socially and financially. In addition
TO the large attendance from home
an excursion train was run from Vir-
ginia, bringing about fifty people
from that section. The supper, in
charge OF the ladies of the Relief
Corps. was well patronized and lp-
preciated by the dancers. The hall
was filled to capacity. In fact, dur
ing the earlier hours, it was a little
uncomfortably crowded The music,
as always when the band plays, was
everything that could be asked
Everything went off smoothly, and
everyone had a splendid time.
The concert in the afternoon was
listened to by large crowd, which
seemed to enjoy it.

The Supreme court took possession

purpose of hearing the famous min

West End Mining company. The
chamber was quite filled with attor-

spectators, among whom there were
large number of ladies
Judge c. H. Lindley of San Fran
cisco on behalf of the Jim Butler
company, commenced his argument
this morning. The case is one that
is exciting a great deal of interest
among attorneys and mining men,
not only on account OF the large
amount of money involved, but the
technical questions of law in the de-
ablest attorneys in mining law in Ne

occupy the attention of the court for

1t is pointed out that the only thing
left for the president to do would be

Famous Authority On Finances Says
Silver Bound to Be Remonetized

Moreton Frewen, an eminent. Lon
don financial authority, was recently
interviewed by the London Ana'ist,
and expressed the following view on
the future of silver as money metal:
The problem of the worlds cur
rency after the war is not, OF course,
desirable at this time. 1t involves
the question: When will the war
end? In my judgment not for two
years. But it is quite safe to discuss
the tendencies Of finance and cur
rency. You ask, can the universal
god standard survive? | do not
think so. 1t was deplorable and al
most DANGEROUS experiment from the
first, and it involves problem
which no one can answer because
the problem is clear outside of all
human experience hitherto.
And what problem?
The problem of silver We are
now, for the first time, up against il
in war; for the first time in the his
tory OF mankind a world war is in
progress, and the worlds mints are
closed to silver. Whatever our views
and disagreements that great and
sinister fact stands out. In the last
great Continental war the Franco
German and German mints were open
to both metals at ratio of l5H; the
American mits were open to both
metals at 10 to !. And not less in
portant was this--the mints of Brit
ish India were open to the free COIN
age OF silver, gold there being rigid
ly dem monetized.
But has not the immense produc-
ton of new gold made universal gold
Standardization posible2
mo! ! hold not; the new gold is
mere drop in the bucket of our
needs. Take the reurns of exports
OF the first-class nations: these have
jumped from thousand millions
sterling in 1893 to nearly three thous
and millions in 1913, while, in those
years Of quite unprecedented gold
production. god money, f4S0,O00,0G
in 1898, has not nearly doubled And
so | say that after the war, ii the
worlds trade is to be carried on with
hard money and not soft every
oun.e of silver Colorado. Montana,
Nevada and Mexico can produce will
be required.
"Your reply then to my question
is that the so-called gold standard is
doomed and that some arrangement
must be made to employ as full legal
tender currency the two metals?
Eyes, that at least is my view
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1916-02-23

The war will conclude to find the
United States congested with gold.
There must follow orgies of specula-
ton; long periods of high prices in
the United States attracted by which
Europe with masses OF inconvertbc
paper will shovel off her exports upon
the United States In this way the
worlds gold will again be redistrib-
uted. And all this time India will be
draining lis and you of our gold TO
secrete i'll her myriad hoard. This
will prove intolerable. Events then,
and tendencies all combine to resus
Citate silver.
