"Too RAPiDn MONEY MAKING
The Imperfect Gold Coin Because Of Which

The Imperfect Gold Coin Because OF which
aTexan was Imprisoned.
That was an interesting and instruct
i've little paragraph In The Star which
told the story Of . % goldpiece, sus-
pected OF being counterfeit, which was
sent TO the director Of the mint by 3
special inspector OF customs at Ell Paso.
The piece was defective, and upon its
appearance o. mar was arrested at Ell
Paso and charged with the circulation
Of counterfeit coin.
Director Preston, |" says The Stars
report, observed that the coin lacked
sorority, and from its general appear
ance suspected that, owing to too rapid
rolling OF the gold strips preparatory 70
cutting the planchettes, an air bubble CIR
blister was formed just at the spot in
the strip from which the coin was cut. "
Very little investigation showed the
diagnosis or the director to be correct,
and it was then stated that these slight
im~perfections occur occasionally, espe-
cially when the strips are rolled rap
idly"
The explanation will doubtless be re-
garded as perfectly satisfactory by
thoughtless folk and VIII be greeted
with delight by The unfortunate person
who has been held In custody at III

AS TO COLLEGE TRAINING.

Commissioner Roosevelt Corrects q
Statement Reported I'm Regard to 1t.
Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt told
The Star man this morning that the state
ments which had gone abroad to the effect
that the commission was anxious to receive
applications from young college-bred men
with reference to appointment within the
classified service was untrue. He did not
believe that a college education was es-
sential to success. Many men had niched
their names in the temple of fame without
the aid Of college training. The commits
sion had received a communication from a
member Of Congress concerning this state
ment. which had gone out as the expression
OF opinion of the civil service commission on
this matter, and the following letter was
sent by the commission In reply:
Sir: In response to your communica tion
of August 4, You are Informed that the
statement made in the newspaper slip
which you inclose is wholly unauthorized
by this commission, particularly the state
ment that the commission prefers young
men who are fresh from college So far
from making any such statement the ex-
perience of the commission has been that
the education furnished in the common
schools Of the country is amply sufficient
Tor all positions in the civil service which
DO not require technical attainments The
commission does not know how this public
announcement came to be made. and must
disclam AL responsibility for it,

MAY DE REPRIMANDED
Civil Engineer White in Trouble
Over Driving Piles.

Another naval officer is in danger of a
reprimand or possibly a trial by court
martial. Civil Engineer L. S. G. White is
the person referred to. He has Just been
detached from duty in charge of the con-
struction of the large naval dry dock at
Puget Sound. and the work has been trans
ferred to the supervision of Civil Engineer
Menocal. This important work has not
been conducted to the satisfaction of the
Navy Department, and was recently the
subject of an investigation by a board COM
posed of Civil Engineers Asserson, Menocal
and Prindle. They found fault with the
work in that the pile driving lacked sys-
tenn. Some of the piles had been driven to
depth of two and a half feet and others
to a depth of fifteen or sixteen feet. Some
of them had not been properly sharpened
and consequently could not be driven to
the desired depth. Secretary Herbert called
on Civil Engineer White for an explana-
ton of the defects reported by the board
and his report has just been received at
the department. Whether or not II is salts
factory will be determined I'm a few days.
and If not Mr.. White will be reprimanded
or be ordered before a cOurt-martial for
rriaI on inenIciency or neglect of duty.

port on the subject.
The annual report OF the superintendent
of lamps was submitted to the Engineer
Commissioner today. together with an es-
innate of the amount of money required for
the next fiscal year.
The total expenditure of the District for
lighting the streets during the year was
S2lO, 1856 The gas and oil lamps were
lighted 5000 hours during the year, but he
recommends an Increase of $50 hours for
next year. The experlments as To The rela-
tive Value of oil and naphtha lamps has
demonstrated the value of the latter for
street lighting and 1t is urgently recon-
mended that oil lamps i'm the future be dis
continued. The naphtha lamp he says, is
in public use in the suburbs of nearly all
of our large cities to the exclusion of oil
lamps. With proper care and suits bic
burners they are nearly as satisfactory as
gas lamps and much cheaper In cost of
erection and maintenance. The recommen-
dalton OF last year for a reduction from g
TO cubic feet of gas per hour as the stand
ard is repeated. A 5-foot burner, he says,
Is as satisfactory as one burning one-fifth
more gas. and the cost of maintenance
would be proportionateiy less. The SUPER
intendent recommends that the District
have charge OF the lamps. and believes the
work OF lighting, extinguishing, cleaning
and repairing should be done 10y the Dis
trict-
In his estimates he recommends the main
tenance of $50 arc lights and an extension
Of the service, which would add lIg arc
lamps to this estimate.
For gas and 1aphtha lighting for the next
fiscal year he recommends an approuria-
ton of $l3,66o. This includes G.4oo gas
lamps for twelve mcnths: 3oo gas lamps
for nine months; 1000 naphtha lamps for
twelve months; 800 lamp posts and 500 Ian
terms.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. August S.-A pa
per published at Forman, N d., brings up
a romantic incident in connection with the
nomination by the republican state conven-
ton of Miss Emma F. Bates Of Valley City
10 be state superintendent of schools. Miss
Bates had charge of her own canvass for
the nomination, and found formidable op-
ponents in John H. Devine and Prof ]. H.
Holland. She was able to sidetrack the
latter by making herself solid with the
Young Mems Republican League.
She then entered into negotia tions with
Mr.. Devine, first demanding unconditional
surrender. This he refused. After further
negotiation, it is said he agreed to pull off
the track provided she would, If elected
state superintendent, make him her deputy
and marry him into the bargain. After
some deliberation she agreed to do this, pro-
vided he would stump the state for her.
This was also agreed to- AS he Is a power
full speaker, Miss Bates Is conceded to have
made the shrewdest political deal yet
known.

LOCAL CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS
An Investigation to BE Made In Ne

Hnru 10 All OF Ihcm.
1t is possible that the investigation re-
Gently instituted by the Senate District COM
mittee into the superintendent of charities
the board of children's guardians and the
Humane Society may be extended into a
general survey of the field of local charities
Mr.. Hoar secured the adoption this morning
of a resolution in the following terms: The
committee on the District of Columbia is
instructed to investigate and report to the
Senate Information IN regard to the several
hospitals and charitable institutions of this
city that are supported in whole or in part
by appropriations made by Congress. with
view of ascel tanning, fist. whether the
grounds and buildings of said institutions
belong to the local or general government ,
second, whether these Institutions are man
aged and controlled by the Commissioners
OF the District of Columbia or by boards of
incorporates; third, whether there is a
uniform rule or law governing the manage
ment of these institutions, or whether any
OF them have been Disseminated against to
the embarrassment and injury of said lnsti-
tuition or Institutions fourth, they Will make
such recommendations as in their judgment
are necessary to placing all the eieemo-
synary institutions of the District of CO.
lumbta receiving government aid upon the
same basis, subject to the same rules and
regulations"
This resolution was undoubtedly inspired
by the recent developments concerning the
property and management OF the Freed
mans hospital. A Star reporter asked SEN
ator HOar il this were true, and the reply
was: We'll, l merely want to get these
matters adjusted. L hate nothing TO say in
explanation of the resolution: it speaks for
Itself. L think that something should be
done TO sysuematize these Institutions"
1t remains for Chairman Harris to decide
whether the subcommittee now appointed to
Inquire into the relations of the superin-
tendent of charities and the board of chill
dren's guardians shall take up this new line
of inquiry. The two subjects have much in
common, and a joining of the two investiga-
tions would doubtless result in the casting
of much valuable light on the whole SUBJ
ject of local charitable institutions whereas
TWO subcommittees, working Independently
might seriously embarrass each other The
subcommittee having the superintendent Of
charities In charge is composed of Senators
Mcmillan, Gallinger. Martin, Faulkner and
Hunton They have practically decided not
TO begin work until the opening of the next
session.
