The President aud the Currency.
The false ami perilous currency sys-
tenn of the United States is giving the
country no end of trouble. Neither
Democrats nor Republicans seem to
know how TO control It. and jhe sharks
of Wall Street are lying back in costa

spondeGt:
The President receives the scverest
criticism for making Il bond contract

to be employed to keep the bonds

Tha; is, how the purchasers of the

treasury note may walk ~ to the cash

1t is said that the bonds themselves
will not BE disposed of to the general
public, but will be held in trust III the
United States and certificates repre-
senting them given to- foreign invest
Ors. These certificates can be eXcllang-
ed for the bonds after Il term of years
at some agency that may be fixed here
after. And it is also asserted that the
gold reserve will be protected 10y the

That is. when the rate of foreign eN

foreigners who take these bonds are to

gold this way. This complicated ar
ranGemcnt may be perfectly clear to
the President and to the bankers who
have enterd into the contract, but the
average Congressman and the public
have not been able TO get it through
their heads. nor is there any guaranty
given so far as they can discover that it
will be carried out as agreed upon.
The seycrest criticism is based upon
the action of the President in making
this contract without permitting any
other bankers to bid for the bonds,
when the last lean was placed nearly

out delay. A member OF Congress re-
marked that the criticism would be
very much more severe than it is. and
Il resolution of investigation would I'M
doubtedly be offered if the confidence
in the Presidents integrity was not so
complete.

Help Yourselves!

If the wOrkingmen would put in the
same energy and determination in
electing the right kind of Legislature
in the beginning that they show in
working for their chosen bills before a
hostile body, they would be conscious
of much more satisfactory results. The
thing to do is to elect in the first place
the men who are already committed
to the wOrkinsmen' desires, instead of
electinS those who are either hostile or
lukeWarm and have to Ee cajOled. con-
WINGED or threatened after they are in
This is equivalent to saying that when
Workinginen have their own represent
atiyes in our legislative bodies their
desires will be attended to, but not TN
til then. How can wOrkingmen expect
anything from Congress which has
not single representative of labor in
its whole All members? How can they
expect much from the Indiana legisla-
ture which does not contain Il single
member elected on workingman's
platform? Put your own men on guard
and you will not have so much trouble
getting the laws you want. Continue
to elect your enemies to office and your
requests will be laughed ut or pigeon
holed. When John Burns goes to the
British Parliament labor has mouth
piece who demands and gets hearing.
Send some John Burnses to our legis.
lative bodies and you will see similar
results. If you would have others to
help you, you must help yourselves

REV. GIBSON
Suspected of the Emanuel Church Crimes
-Durant Hints at the Pastors Guilt.

Suspected of the Emanuel Church Crimes
-Durant Hints at the Pastors Guilt.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 27.-The police
are quietly investigating certain ru-
mors connecting DR.. Gibson with the
murders in the Emanuel Baptist
church. During the past few days
some sensational stories have reached
the ears of the police which implicate
the pastor.
While Chief Crowley still believes
Gibson innocent of any connection
with the horrible crime, he considers
the rumors of sufficient Importance to
warrant an investigation. He detailed
several of his best men to inquire into
the rumors, with instructions to sift
them to the bottom.
It is known that the defense will at
tempt to show that Gibson murdered
the unfortunate girls. Durant, while
declaring his innocence, has fre-
quently said that the pastor knew
more of the terrible crime than he
cared to tell, and rarely missed an op-
portunity to direct suspicion toward
his spiritual adviser.
The latter stoutly maintains his in
nocence of any connection with the
murders, and is apparently anxious
that a thorough investigation be
made.

NICARAGUA REFUSES,
And the British Forces Take Posses.
sion Of Corinto.
No Opposition Was Made to Their Land.
ing, But an Attempt on the Part Of
the English to Penetrate the In
terror VIII He Resisted.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Nicaragua
has refused to accept the British ulti-
matum. This information was COM
municated to Rear Admiral Stephenson
at a late hour. The three days given
to Nicaragua to make reply having ex-
pired at midnight Friday, the British
forces at once took possession of the
town.
The garrison at Corinto, which con-
sisted of small force of $50 or 200
men, was withdrawn to the interior,
leaving the British in peaceable pos
session of the town. No opposition
was made to their landing, but it is
stated by those familiar with the
Nicaraguan people that any attempt
on the part of the British forces to
penetrate to the interior, or, in short,
to leave the environments of Corinto,
will be resisted by Nicaragua. Great
excitement is reported to exist not
only at Corinto and Managua, but
throughout the entire republic.
1t is now said positively that Mica
ragua will not pay the $4,000 indem-
nifty demanded by Great Britain.
Should this determination be adhered
to, the occupation of Corinto by the
British government may be indefinite
The British ultimatum provided not
only for the payment of $4,000 ''smart
money to Proconsul Hatch, hut in
cluded also payment of 80, 100 to CON-
pensate a number of British subjects
who were arrested and taken to Ma
nagua with Mr.. Hatch, and provided
further that joint commission should
be established to fix the damages
British subjects as result of their ar
rest and expulsion from the republic.
The reading of the ultimatum, SO far
as the commission is concerned, is that
it shall consist of one representative
each of Great Britain and Nicaragua
the third member "Not to be citizen
of any American state"
Various interpretations have been
given to this qualification. The Mica.
raguan government construes it to ap.
ply to citizen of either of the United
States or Central or South America.
The British contention, unofficially
stated here, is that it refers only to cit.
liens of Central and South America
whose countries are denominated as
Estates" in European diplomacy, and
not to the United States, which is usu'
ally referred to by the term ''United
| States"

tains her own Interpretation she will

commission to consist of two Europe
ans and one citizen of her own coun

RIVERSIDE, Cal, April 27.-The ship
ment of oranges TO date from this city
amounts to 1,175 cars, which is still
somewhat short of half the crop. The
daily shipments now average twenty
four cars. when they should number
ten cars more at least. The exchange
is in receipt of supply of orders, but
the branch associations are Indifferent
to filing the orders at present prices.
The supply of the naval variety is now
growing short. Orders for seedlings

PRISONERS REVOLT.
Three Hundred Of Them Are
Crowded Into Fifty Cells,
And Riot Was the Result-Fire Hose and
Clubs We're Freely Used to Quell It
Five Prisoners and Four of the
Officers Were Injured.

ST. LOUIS, April 29-Riot, bloodshed
and a serious attempt to break for lib
erty occurred at 10 o'clock Sunday
night in the city Jail. The state board
of health has forbidden the removal of
condemned prisoners to the peniten-
tiary, owing to the appearance Of
smallpox in the Jail, and forty-seven
cells in the institution are undergoing
repairs. This forces 300 prisoners into
ffty cells,
Discomfort over this has been breed.
ing, and Saturday night at 10 o'clock
1t broke into violence. Five Negro
women in one cell abused the guards
until the hose was turned on them,
when they became so violent that the
three guards attempted to remove
them from their third-tier cells to a
dungeon.
The moment their door was opened
they sprang upon the guards like wild
cats and chased the men down stairs.
Three officers came to the rescue and
managed to get the women down to
the ground floor court when the fight
was renewed.
By this time every prisoner added
his voice to the din. Fanny Dowdy,
one of the Negresses, had a weapon
made of tin can and knocked Officer
Dixon completely out with it.
Seven condemned Negro men in one
cell in some way got loose and came to
| the aid of the women. The Dowdy
woman had secured Dixon's pistol, and
was just on the point of shooting when
Detective Seigler dealt her blow with
his fist that settled her.
| By this time the reserve force was
on hand and clubs were freely used.
The noisy panic was contagious, and
such an uproar was never before heard
in the Jail. By the free use of twenty.
five night clubs and the fire hose the
riot was quelled and the rioters Sc.
cured. Five prisoners and four Off.
GERS are injured.

CHARLESTON, S. c., April 27.-The dis
pensary war in this state threatens
very shortly to assume the proportions
of fight between the federal and.
state governments. James Donald, a
citizen of Charleston, has secured an
injunction from Judge Simonson, of the

is importing into the state for his own
use. In the suit he has brought the dis
pensary law is attacked as restric-
ton and regulation of commerce be-

stitutionai. Gov. Evans has said that
he will not obey the injunction and
has instructed the constabulary to go
ahead with the seizures. 1t is more
than probable, therefore, that these
officials will speedily find themselves
hauled up before the federal courts for
OntemOt.

troduced and Laws Enacted.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-According to
figures prepared by Mr.. B. S. Platt, en-.
rolling clerk of the senate, 72O bills and
joint resolutions became laws during
the third session of the Fifty-third
congress. OF these 215 were senate and
sos house bills and resolutions During
the entire congress 1929 measures
were introduced in the two houses, of
which 2,952 originated in the senate and
9.2T1 in the house. The senate passed
5o7 of its own bills, but only 239 of
these received favorable action in the
house, while of the I'll house bills
which passed the house 559 also passed
the senate. The president vetoed or
failed to sign "a of the senate bills
which were sent to him, while 54 house
bills met the same fate at the hands of
the executive. 1t appears from this
statement that less than six per cent.
of the bills introduced during the con-
gress became laws.

New YORK, April 27.-R. G. Dun &

some trouble, and the retail demand
lags behind wholesale sales and job

conflicting reports, the fact shines out
that the industries are gaining.
"It is less clear that railroads are in
creasing their earnings. or that overpro-
duction OF cotton will be cured by the
advance of one and one-eighth cent in
price, or that cornering short sellers of
wheat will help to market the large
surplus. But revival of activity in all
these directions, if possibly excessive
in some, helps confidence to take the
throne so long held by tistrust.
"Quite a number Of works have adj

strikes to compel an advance, possibly

THE ROCK GAVE WAY.
Awful Plunge of Four Young Persons
Down Precipice.


CoCHEcToN, N. Y, April 29.-John
Rich, Sydney Burns, Annie Mitchell,
Irene Tempest and Lora Long were
standing on ledge of rock 800 feet
high which overhung the park little
to the eastward of this town Friday
night. Four feet from the outer edge
of the rock was a horizontal crack
which the oldest inhabitants say
had always been there and which
no one thought rendered the
ledge insecure. The five young people
felt the ledge give way under their feet
and tried to get off, but were too late.
Irene Tempest managed to grasp the
edge of solid remnant of the rock and
hung there for thirty minutes until
help could reach her. The others were
dead when the Inhabitants reached the
spot. >Rich'was impaled on the limb
of tree Is feet above the ground.
One huge fragment of the rock rolled
upon the tracks of the Erie railway
just after the Buffalo express passed.

Nicaragua Prepared to Settle with John
Bull-The Government Receives Enough
From Voluntary Subscription.
New York. April 27.-A special from
Managua, Nicaragua, dated April "a,
says:
The government has assurances that
it will receive from voluntary subscrip-
tions more than enough to pay the
British claim within the time allowed
by the ultimatum brought by Capt.
Stokes, of the British squadron.
There is strong feeling among the
people against acceding too quickly to
Britain's demand.
The money was offered by Leon
City, and the government seemed
ready to accept it and pay the claim.
but was deferred by the feeling that if
it should seem too ready to obey Eng
land it would cause serious trouble.
There is great excitement here.
Two thousand men are ready to
march to Corinto at moments notice.
A special cable dispatch to the Sun
from London says:
Great Britain will use the grestest
care not to offend the United States in
the settlement of her quarrel with
Nicaragua. Lord Kimberly has been
most anxious from the outset to
make it clear that he is unwilling to
offend America in any manner The
British foreign Office, in fact, never
showed such tender regard for the
Monroe doctrine as it is now manifest
ing from day to day.
Instructions for landing the blue
jackets Friday morning have been
carefully framed, and it is certainly far
from the intention of the British gov.
ernment to undertake policy of oc'
cupation such as exists in Egypt.
