A great loneliness bore down on him. For months he had been drawing familiar pictures. and to find none of these was like com ing home to an empty house. The old life was indeed gone; there were no threads to resume. A hotel stood where his club had been; the house in which he had spent his youth was no more. He wanted to leave the city; and the desire was with difficulty over- come.
 Early the second morning he started downtown to the offices of the Andes Construction company. He was ex- traordinarily nervous. Cold sweat con- tinually moistened his palms.

PERKINS, PAYS CORDIAL
 TRIBUTE ID WILSON

In tranquil retirement after an active political life, having served four years as Governor of his State and twenty-two years in the United States Senate, Geoege c. Perkins, of California, now seventy six years old, has cast partisan ship aside to pay simple, whole hearted tribute to the statesmanship Of President Woodrow Wilson.
 For more than two score years MT. Perkins was the dominant political force of the Republican Party of California. For more than a score of years he was one of the strongest Republican leaders of the Senate. He was chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee of the Senate and, in that post, had much to do with the naval policy of the country.
 Now, after a lifetime of leader ship in the Republican party, out of the wisdom based on long ex- perience in the affairs of the United States, and out of the

CHAPTER XIX.
The Two Brothers.

From port to port, sometimes not stepping off the boat at all, moody, restless and irritable, Warrington wended his way home. There was nothing surprising in the fact that he never inquired for mail. Who was there to write? Besides, he sought only the obscure hotels, where he was not likely to meet any of his erst- while fellow passengers. The mock cry and uselessness of his home-going became more and more apparent as the days slipped by. Often he longed to fly back to the jungles, to James, and leave matters as they were Here and there, along the way, he had tried bit of luxury; but the years of econ

INCREASE OF $7,738,694 IN
MIDDLESEX RATABLES

Trenton, Dec. 12-The assessed val
uation of real and personal property
subject to local taxation in the state
for the year 1916 amounts to about
$2,696, ,314,010.53, according to the
annual report of the State Board of
Taxes and Assessm ents filed with
Governor Fielder, and made public to-
day. This Is an increase of $112,360,-
415.24 over 1915. The assessment
against bank stock is not included in
the rating, being separately taxed un-
der the Fielder Pierce bank stock tax
ing act.
The Middlesex county increase in
ratables is $7,73S.694, and adds about
$5,600,000 to land and buildings and
little over S2,000,000 to personally
the increase is the advance in building
work, particularly in powder plants,
and other manufacturing corpora
tions. Another factor is a fuller val
uation, under the direction of the
County Board, in some of the smaller
communities, where the assessors
have not been assessing up to true
value.
The total assessment for Middlesex
county is $91,408,S92, as compared
with $83,670,19S' in 1915. This is an
infrease of $7,73S.694 over the pre-
vious year.

valuation of property is $114, 4,649, ,037,
an increase of s2,750,370, over the
1915 figures of $111,S9S,667.

STOCKS DROP IN WALL ST.
DUE TO PEACE PROPOSALS
Special bU United Press Eire

New York, Dec. IA break in
prices on the stock exchange today
followed Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg's announcement regarding
peace, had sent the United States, the
market barometer, down three points
to twelve at II o'clock. The market
found support among traders who ar
gued the Berlin peace proposals do
not mean that peace is imminent, and
although there was rush of tradinN
in which half a million shares werS
dumped into the market at the first
hour the break was not panicky. That
peace proposals from Germany Great
ed no furry in Morgan circles, was
regarded with considerable signifi-
canoe.
1t was taken to indicate that the
American financial representative of
the Allies did not regard favorable ae-
ton on the Berlin proposal as lightly.
Germany's proposals for peace are
made at time when her armies have
taken the offensive in the newest bat
tie area and when the western front
has reached another deadlock.
The peace that Germany now wants
is one with Teutonic troops occupying
enemy territory on practically every
front The war is yet far from having
gone to the knockout" that David
Lloyd George demand in his United
Press interview. short time before
he became British premier. On the
contrary Germany's position now is
not that of beaten antagonist. The
Germans occupy at the present mo-
ment, probably the highest position
they will reach, as far as practical
purposes are concerned no matter
how long the war continues.

FIGHT ON COMPTROLLERSH|P
DEPENDS ON EDGE, IS REPORT

Trenton, Dec. 12:-One Of the de-
velopments Of the gathering of poll
ticians at the capitol today was that
whether or not there will be an open
contest among the Republicans for
the state comptrollership will depend
upon the attitude of Governor -elect
Edge. II the new governor gives his
support to State Chairman Newton
A. K. Bugbee he will be nominated
at the joint caucus and elected with
out a fight.
If, however, the governor elect
keeps his hands off there will be a
contest with the probability that
Thomas G. Alworth, treasurer of the
Essex county Republican Committee,
and former State Water Supply Com
missioner George F. Wright, of Pas
sale county, will be in the race.
Herbert w. Taylor, chairman of the
Essex county committee, admitted
today that If there was a contest Es-
sex would be heard from and AL
worth would be a candidate.
Governor-elect Edge is still South.
but it is understood that Chairman
Bugbee will be given the comptrol-

CITY OFFICIALS IN QUANDARY
OVER PAY OF CONTRACTORS

City officials appear to be in
quandary as to how to pay Rohr G.
Poulsen and Graham & McKeon for
contracting work done on upper State
street and lower First street. City
Treasurer James A. Rhodes and
Comptroller William ]. Martin have
upon the advice of the city's bond at
torneys refused to sign warrants for
payments. The attorneys claim that
the city's limit of bonded Indebtedness
has been eyerstepped by far, under
provisions of the Pierson act, and that
neither bonds nor notes can be issued
to insure payment for the work in
question. The amounts unpaid total
about $4,000.
Rohr & Poulsen are demanding from
the city about $4,000 for the construc-
ton of a sewer in upper State street.
Graham e McKeon want about $4,000
for grading, curbing and other street
improvements done about First and
Lewis streets. Neither firm can be paid
at this time and payment seems tied up
indefinitely, perhaps through a long
period that may be consumed in liti-
cation.
The Republicans now in charge of
city affairs had hoped to pay for the
work by issuing temporary loan GER
tificates. This method is declared by
the bond attorneys. Mass Caldwell &
Masslich to be illegal. As the Pierson
act plainly prohibits the issue of bonds
under the existing financial condition
of the city, there remains no legal way
to pay for the work at this time. City
Treasurer Rhodes stated this after
noon.
When decision had been rendered
against them, city officials had hoped
to justify payment of at least the State
street sewer job by claiming that it was
a dire necessity and that the Board of
Health had ordered it. City Treasurer
Rhodes states the opinion of the bond
attorneys prohibits payment under
any condition until the Pierson act is
repealed or the city's bonded indebt-
edness has been brought down.

REPUBLICANS PLAN
MONSTER DINNER
John F. Ten Brock Associa-
ton Starts Work for Dollar
Dinner-Nothing More as to
Appointments.

Plans for a monster dollar dinner
to celebrate Republican victory in
this city were started at a meeting of
the John F. Ten Brock Association
last night. A committee of arrange
ments was named. Republican Off
cials declare that there have been no
caucuses of late and that the problem
of selecting prospective office holders
remains practically the same as 1t
stood a week ago. Mayor-elect Ten
Brock has not as yet decided wheth-
er he will render a message to the
Board of Aldermen when he takes
office next month. Probabilities are
that he will follow in the footsteps of
Mayor Ferd arretson and hold per-
sonal conferences with the aldermen
from time to time instead of burden
ing them with lengthy annual mes
sages.
The proposed dollar dinner will be
held in one of the largest halls in the
city in the near future, according to
decision made. The fixing of def
mite time and place was left In the
hands of the arrangement committee.
Efforts will be made to hold it on a
night convenient to the majority. 1t
will be a large affair, at which Repub-
licans from in and out of the city will
appear. Prominent speakers will be
presented.
Indications are that the G. o. P.
leaders will hold another caucus this
week, either on Saturday or Sunday.
1t was reported that they met to dis
cuss appointments and aldermanic
committee formation last Sunday, but
this Is denied by the principals. The
list of probable appointees stands as
last announced in the NEWS, 1t is
claimed upon good authority. 1t ap-
pears that no definite selection has
been made regarding the position Of
collector Of revenue. which is the most
lucrative one on the list.
