 Steur asked volkman only two questions which e1icited the infor- nation that McGuires had a credit rating of $1,000,0O0 with Brad streets. The next witness was Miles D. Robertson, of Oneida Community. Ltd, silver manufac- turers.
 Steur told the court he wanted to show through Robertson that because of the economic conditions, Mcclure was able to purchase SIS sets of silverware at an extremely economical cost.'
 k Louis Mead Treadwell, govern ment prosecutor, conceded the facts and the witness was excused.
 The silverware, it has been brought out, was given by Mcclure as 8 gift to each member of the Eagles selling a book of tickets for the Eagles "Frolics'' or dances. The tickets, the government main- Etains, were lottery tickets. { K The next witness was Max Veh- low, of Chicago, who said he was employed by Mcclure as q "sales- man." to sell the enterprise to the "aeries" or local lodges of the Eagles. He said he presented the plan and helped stage the "Frol- ics' in various Ohio "aeries." And he told members that each party who purchased a ticket was eligible to participate in the awarding of the $75,000.
 T told them that each lodge was to send g delegate to the awarding at Toledo, O., during the week of August 9, 1881. The dele- gates comprised an awarding com- mittee," he said.
 Steuer placed in evidence let ter from Mann to the officers and members" New Brunswick, N. J. aerie advising them to choose q delegate to represent" them at the Toledo awarding.
 The delegate was to use the let ter as Identification in boarding the boat on which the awards were made.
 vehlow said that aboard the boat Mcclure addressed the dele- gates, announcing that "my work is through and it is now up to you to determine how the awards shall be made" Treadwell then under took rosss-examination.
 A priest, the Rev John H. Daugherty. of Newburgh, N. r., was called to the stand. He said he knew Mcclure for Il years. meeting him first in Lowell, Mass.
 He said he knew Mcclure to have a fine reputation for honesty and integrity.
 Another character witness, Dr James B. O'Conner, of Lowell, Mass, testified that McGuire's standing in his community was "'A-1".
 Charles D. Rock, of Flushing, l.. T., the next witness, said he was of the Media Record, an advertis- ing survey service. He also testi- fled that McGuire had an "excel- lent reputation" . Charles H. Slowey, mayor of Lowell and member of the Massa- chusetts legislature was the next witness.
 McGuire's reputation was "very excellent" and he was a livery charitable person." Slowey volun- teered.
 Edward J. Tierney. Lowell. law yer, also testified as to McGuire's reputation.

piained, by scheme whereby the city will float $500,000 funding bond issue to pay off that sum in bonds falling due during the com ing year. The funding bond bill must first be approved by the legis- lature, of course.
 The total estimated resources for 1883 are $7.099,475. The estimated expenditures are $6,774,4S9, leay- ing margin of safety of $32l.986 between the resources and appro- priatidns.
 The vote of approval of the 1893 budget came quickly yesterday. This was due to the fact that the finance commissioners had been studying the budget for the past two weeks and were fully acquaint- ed with it's contents.
 Tax Attorney George R. Guilfoile reported to the board that during the past month he collected $4.338 in back taxes. However, he also coI- 'iected about $12,000 from other sources. The sum of $2,7C2 was col- iected from the bankrupt estate of the Fitzmaurice Shoe company. A

if the court approved the plan as suggested he was certain there would be an avalanche Of requests from depositors for consideration. He said the receiver is now being asked about the plan by many de- positors and suggested that the court give the proposition deep consideration before passing an order. He said he would take the courts order as final in going through with the plan.
 Mir Reeves brought up the mat ter in reference to the motion ask ing instructions on the plan of Ida M. Sossin. He said Mrs Sossin owes the bank something like $4,800 on a mortgage note but has nearly that amount on deposit in the savings and commercial side of the bank. She is willing to as- sign her deposits to the receiver and in addition will give about $1,400 in cash for the wiping out of the debt, Mir Reeves said.

payment of $1,S52 was made in the foreclosure action against Alfred Haddad. In the receiver case of the Brass City Plumbing Company the sum of $5,395 was collected. In the receivership case of George A.. Upham $742 was collected. Proofs of claim were filed by Attorney Guilfoile in the bankrupt cases of Arthur Stein, George Partiss, Henry McCann, Arthur Page and Alexan-' der Hinkelman.
 The question of whether or not postponement of tax collections can be granted on commercial pro- perty was brought up by Mayor Frank Hayes, who explained that he understood q few business houses plan to make such applica- tions soon. Commissioner John H. Goss said that he thought the law allowing such postponements was merely for the protection of home owners. He suggested that the petit tions of the commercial houses be denied so that court ruling might be obtained. No action was taken by the board on the subject yester- day. &

 MT Reeves explained that dis position of the real estate holdings taken in mortgage foreclosures. is proving one of the big problems of the receivership. If such g plan as proposed could be carried through it would mean that the real estate holdings would be con- siderably lessened and at the same time, the amount of depositors' claims against the receiver would be cut down, MT Reeves explained. He pointed out that from an analy- sis completed last week, 1t showed that deposits are worth 99.41 per cent on the dollar and that, it means that if the court approves the liquidation plan, the depositor would receive the benefit of his deposits now rather than waiting for the ultimate liquidation of the banks assets. MT Reeves said that

 Debts for Arms
 Since President Hoover pre- sented his plan, Senator Borah and some of the most influential newspapers in the United States have come out strongly for can- cellation of the war debts the a1- lies owe America. But with this they have coupled a proviso that the allies must. in return, take

Swanson, Virginia, ranking demo- cratic member. Swanson was one of the American. delegates to the Geneva disarmament conference of 1892, and as such he demanded abolition of submarines, character izing them as 'sea assassiGs." Swanson, senate veteran, was a strong supporter of the League of Nations in. the Wilson era and has frequently supported moves for in- ternational agreements of both economic and military nature.

 His majesty's government trust that the full statement of their views which they have now made will demonstrate clearly the ground upon which their request was based, namely their own profound conviction that a resumption of the war debt payments as they ex- isted before the Hoover mora torium would inevitably deepen the repression in world trade and would lead to further falls in commodity prices with disastrous consequences from which no na- ton would be exempt. :" No Postponement Washington, Dec 2-(UP)- Speaker Garner of the house said today that congress would not grant a postponement of Decenl- Der war debt payments, despite the renewed pleas of Great Brit ain and France.
 Congress is not going to change the situation at the present timc," Garner said.
 q repeat what I told President Hoover, and that was that in my judgment if the United States takes the position that the debt must be paid it would be much better all around.
 "A definite statement is much better than dilly-dallying. Congress is not going to do anything about it."

Committee Hearing

Washington, Dec. 2 - (UP) - Confidence that the prohibition re- peal resolution would be success full in the house Monday was ex- pressed today by Speaker Garner.
 The house judiciary committee. meanwhile, held an inconclusive meeting on the subject and ad- journed at 12:35 p. m. without reaching a decision on the proceed ure to be followed.
 Rep. LaGuardia, republican, N. Y., member of the committee, said the meeting ended in "con- stitutiona1 tangle." He indicated belief that the anti-prohibitionis in the committee were outnumber- ed by the drys of both parties.
 Counter suggestions to the naked repeal" plan advocated by Garner developed and there was some question of the committee's authority during a recess of con- gress. The committee planned to resume it's meeting at 2 D. m.
 Gamers confidence of success for his repeal resolution was bo1- stered by his information that there had been a republican swing toward his plan.

of Temperance and Prohibition in
their moral and legal aspects. She
is resident of the central part of
Duchess County, New York, where
she owns beautiful property and
where her earnest labors in the
cause of temperance, religion and
peace have been rewarded with
large success, and she is widely
known as lady of true and beau
tiful character and of ability as a
speaker. She has long been prom
inent as leader in the great
peace movement the platform of
which organization is universal
peace, and the final object of which
is the general disbanding of arm
les, laying down of arms, and
peaceful International jurisdiction
on all great political questions. 1t
has been her habit to hold yearly
camp meeting in her own groves
where all these evangelizing topics
have claimed the attention and in
terest of large gatherings of peo-
pie. We have no doubt that she
will be greeted here with a full
house.

CAPT. DENNY, 8S,
DIES IN JERSEY
Well Known Delaware River
Pilot and Last Surviving
Civil War Veteran
WELL KNOWN ON RIVER

Captain Samuel M. Denny, aged
50 years, for over fifty-eight years
pilot on the Delaware river and
bay, operating a line of passenger
and freight steamers owned by
himself and a brother, the late
Captain James Denny, died at his
home on Penn street, PENIS Grove,
N. j., Thursday night following a
brief illness from complications
due to age. Captain Denny was
the last surviving veteran of the
Civil War, living in PENIS Grove,
and during the past few years has
been the guest of honor of the
patriotic organizations on Mem
orial Day and other occasions. He
served in the oath New Jersey In
fantry, throughout the war, as a
sergeant and for his services was
honored at the close of the war by
being commissioned a lieutenant
on the recommendation Of his gen.
eral, to President Lincoln. Cap
tain Denny throughout his career
as steamboat pilot and captain
was proud of his record of never
having had serious accident. The
only accident he remembered hay-
ing in detailing his experiences to
friends was the one several years
ago, when he beached his steamer
below the tate Rifle Range, south
of New Castle, when it sprung a
leak due to striking a rock. Cap
tain Denny had owned and piloted
many boats. Most of them were
well known to river men of the
Delaware, including the old Susan
A. Mccall, the City of Bridgeton,
Endeavor, Admiral and F'lemming,
all of which during the spring
months were used in carrying shad
from Delaware Bay to Philadelphia
and other points. Captain Denny
was a member of Action Post, G.
A. r. and took great interest
every Memorial Day to see that
the graves of his deceased COM
rades of the Civil War were ap-
propriately marked and decorated
in Penn's Grove and vicinity.
While Captain Denny had been in
failing health for several years
and lived a retired life, he had been
able up until last Wednesday to
take his daily stroll near the vicin-
ity of his home, which faces
Penn's Grove shore. He Is surviv-
ed by one daughter, Mrs. Harry
Patterson, Philadelphia, and one
son, Captain Arthur Denny In
charge of the Wilson Line Wharf
at Penn's Grove, four grandchil-
dren and one great grandchild.
The funeral will take place from

1t Costs 9 Cents a Day
Less to Feed q Soldier

Washington.-It cost nine cents
a day less to feed a soldier In
1881. even though he was given the
same food.
The fact is revealed In the annual
report of Maj. Gen. John l. Dewitt,
quartermaster to Secretary Of War
Hurley. Dewitt said that during the
lest year the pre-soldier cost of the
daily ration had decreased from
50.06 to 41.15 cents.
Dewitt, whose bureau has had
charge Of the pilgrimages war moth
ers and widows have been making
to European cemeteries, said 1,7S4
women made the tour In the sum-
mer of 1881, as compared with 1858
In 1880. Approximately 1900 more
are entitled to go, under the con-
gressional act authorizing the pill
grimages.
