EXPLANATION GIVEN

WASHINGTON Dec 22.-An ex- planation of how the silver coinage plan will work is that the silver producer will take his metal, say 100 ounces, to the mint, taking sil- yer in it's value as fixed in rela- ton to gold. The mint would con- vert his 100 ounces into s64.50 worth of coins The full theoreti- cal value of the metal would be s12e. Half of this the govern ment would keep.
 At this rate. compared with the present price of about 43 cents an ounce. the producer, despite the fact that the Government took half of his metal for minting charge, would stand to gain S2l50 on his 100 ounces of metal, the differ ence between S64.50 his metal was minted into and the s43 per 100 ounces would bring on the present market

BATH PUT FIRST
BY PENGU|NS

Four very dirty little penguins
arrived at the zoo yesterday after
noon after six days trip across
the continent.
Ten minutes after the birds had
been put in the big flight cage in
the Bird House four immaculate
little penguins emerged from the
pool and began giving their feath-
ers an additional grooming.
The penguins fairly beamed with
delight over their bath. The most
amiable of little creatures, they
have not the slightest fear Of
man. They permitted DR.. William
Mann, superintendent of the ZOO,
to play with them and ate their
first Washington supper from
keepers hand.
According to DR.. Mann all the
birds of the Galapagos Islands,
from which the zoos new pen
gums came, are entirely tame.
They seldom see human being
and those they see are always
friendly.
The penguins were a gift of the
San Diego, Cal, Geological Gar
dens to Washington. With them
arrived a pair of flightless cor
morants and an assorted collec-
tion of boobies. The latter, birds
not men, have never before been
exhibited in an Eastern ZOO.
The name, BOBBY, was given
them long ago by British sailors
who visited their island breeding
place. Finding the birds tame the
sailors decided they were stupid
and labeled them for all time
with most unfair cognomen.
They are a species of gannet.

CANNOT AGREE
WITH LOWELL
DECISION
Pledges Cooperation So That
Justice May Be Attained
in Letter to Pollard

"Cooperation in furthering the
ends of justice" was pledged today
in a letter from Gov. Joseph B.
Ely, of Massachusetts,, to Gov.
John Garland Pollard, of Virginia.
The letter, written over the row
which burst following the action
of Federal Judge James A. Lowell,
of Boston, in releasing George
Crawford, colored suspect in the
double Staying of Mrs. Spencer
Ilsley and her companion, Mrs.
Nina Buckner. defended the judge
from suspicion of improper mo-
tive or outside influence.
Personally DiSagreeS
Governor Ely said he was GER
tain the jurist acted in what he
considered the proper manner, but
stated that he personally disagreed
with the decision.
The decision of Judge Lowell
does not reflect on the fairness Of
Virginia courts, the Massachusetts,
governor said, but was based on a
Supreme Court ruling in Dela-
ware case.
Governor Ely told newspaper
men that any culprits who flee to
Massachusetts seeking haven be-
cause of Judge LoWell'S decision
will be sadly surprised.
Impeachment Near
The governor said that he will
weigh each case as it comes up
and if, in his opinion, extradition
should be granted he will do so.
Repres n tative Howard w.
Smith of Virginia today reiterated
his position that he will ask the
House Judiciary Committee to i'm
peach the Boston judge for inn
proper action in the case.

ing candidates for mayor Of

last-minute efforts to get out

one of the hottest mayoralty and
councilmanic elections the town

mately 1900 voters in the COM
munity and sentiment is about
evenly divided between DR.. Willis.
twice mayor, and Mr.. Aiello, now
corporation counsel.
Fireman in Fight
In the center of the bitter
mayoralty fight is the fire depart
ment, ousted by the regime Of
which Mr.. Aiello is member be-
cause of it's chief, Noble F. Rushe,
who has refused to bow to the
mayor and common council in a.
matter of authority and reckon
ing.
Late this week, the tax assess
ments and expenditures of public
moneys came into the picture, but
even then, they took second place
to the fire department contro-
versy.
Four councilmen are to be voted
on Monday. Two of them are fav-
orable to the ousted firemen, who,
incidentally, have refused to be
ousted, and the other two are op-
posed to them. The firemen are
busy working for DR.. Willis and
