WANTED TO USE DYNAMITE
Custodians of silver's Funds Visited
by Crank.

Denver. Sept. 1O.-There appeared in
the papers yesterday a story to the eff
feet that Isaac N. Stevens, vice presi-
dent of the national silver committee,
had $500, 900 in his possession with which
to prosecute the silver campaign. As
a result Thomas Jeffrey, a carpenter
called early in the day at the office of
Mr. Stevens. He had a huge bundle in
his arm, and said it contained dynamite
for the purpose of blowing Mr.. Stevens
to the other world.
He was asked to wait and then told
a rambling story of how he had a dream
of wealth, and that his spiritual guide
directed him to call on the chairman of
the silver party to repIenish his fund.
He declared he had determined to have
the money and that nothing would balk
him in his desire. The clerk asked him
to wait and telephoned for the police.
who came to the number of a dozen.
Jeffery offered resistance, but was no
match for the force that overpowered
him.

PROFESSOR STEALS BOOKS.
Robs z. II. c. A. Library From Abso-
lutte Want.

St. Louis, Sept. 1O.-John z. s. Hay
wood. who was arrested Sunday after
noon for stealing books from the Y M
c. A library, is no ordinary criminal
He is a man of education, and says that
up to few months ago he was a col
lege professor in .Grayson university,
Whitewright, Tex.
Absolute want drove him to theft. He
has never been in trouble before He
was not caught red-handed, but admits
that he has been stealing books from
the 7. NJ. c. A. library for three weeks
He says:
I didn't take more than a dozen.

sold could have kept out of trouble
Sunday if I wanted to, because I was
told the police were after me. I went
out to the reading room, from force of

sergeant waiting for me. I don't know
whether to plead guilty or not, but I
took the books to keep from starving -

MADE A MISTAKE.
No British Newspaper in Favor ofthe
American idea of Finance.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Copies of the
following editorial paragraph from the
London Financial News were today dis
tributed from the Republican congress
sional campaign: We have received
numerous letters from American cor
respondents containing what purports
to be editorials from the Financial
News and which have been reprinted in
various western papers as campaign
literature"
One Omaha paper prints an article
stating it is fro mthe London Finan-
ciaI News. No such article was ever
printed by US and it's tenor is directly
opposed to the view we have taken of
the effect of free silver in the United
States. So far from advocating free sill
yer coinage we have persistently
pointed out that it means reputation
and withdrawal of all European capt.
tai.
The action of the committee is due to
the publication in the west of an ar
ticle credited to the London paper in
which the position was taken that free
coinage of silver by the United States
would destroy English trade suprem-
acy.

He doesn't want to, but he viii have to

panic among Republicans I attribute
it to the splendid effect Of Mr.. Bryan 8

the masses; to the contemplate action

MIR. PEASE MAY TALK.
But He Must "Move on' When Side
Walks Become Obstructed.

Police Judge L. S. Ferry rendered his
decision yesterday in the case against
w. A. Pease. the Colorado ranchman,
who was arrested for obstructing the
sidewalks.
He said that on the evidence given,
he was not warranted in filming him for
the offense.
You are discharged" said he to Mr..
Pease. But you must not obstruct
the sidewalks any more, and if the Off
Ger asks you to move on, you must do
so. The testimony in this case was
somewhat conflicting. You were not
talking at the time you were arrested !"
There was considerable comment
made on the streets because of the ar
rest. Some commended that he should
have been arrested. while others said
that 1t was the duty of the officer to
keep the sidewalk clear. and to pre-
serve the peace merely.
Chief Gardiner had given orders to
keep the walks clear, and it was on
these orders that the policemen have
tried to dispense crowds which blocked
the sidewalks.

SILVER FOR CAMPAIGN.
Dollars Called for at the q. s. Treas
ury-Some Information.


ury-Some Information.
Washington, Sept. 1O.-The treasury
officials are in daily receipt of large
numbers of requests asking for silver
dollars of recent coinage for silver GER
terfcates OF lawful money. Many of
these requests come from persons who
seem to doubt the truth Of the monthly
coinage statement, while others ask for
shipments of 1896 dollars with a view
to refuting statements that no silver
dollars are now being coined. These
requests have been complied with as
fast as received as the treasury officials
call public attention to the fact that
when silver dollars are asked for in
sums or multiple of sums Of $780, the
agovernment pays the transportation.
sshen asked for in sums smaller than
EElis the receiver must pay the charges.
The law requires certain amounts Of
silver to be held in the treasury TO cover
outstanding silver certificates and the
treasury notes and when the minimum
is reached silver payments will be re-
fused even for gold or in payments Of
warrants on the treasury. The number
of standard silver dollars coined dur
ing last August is shown by the official
statement to have been 50, $50, 900: since
February 1 last, 1922 412 and since
November. 1895. S15,169. 491. The coinage
value of the stock of bullion now on
hand and on which the minis are now
at work is $166. 745 200 and it is said to
be altogether probable that coinage
will be continued at least until the
stock on hand of standard dollars of
1890 has been increased to about $50
100000 where it stood when the present
administration came into Office.

SAN JACINTO FLAG.
a Sacred Relic Added to the Texas
Collection.

Austin, Sept. 1O.-The only flag, OF
what remains of it,, that was carried by
the Americans in the battle of San ia
cinto, is a very recent addition to the
states collection of historic memen-
toes.
It is presented to the state by the
only surviving children of Gen. Sidney
Sherman. 1t was made and presented
to Gen. Sherman by the ladies of New
port KY, and is the same flag under
which his troopers formed and charged
at the battle of San Jacinto.
1t is in a dreadfully mutilated state,
the result of age and usage, notwith-
standing careful efforts to preserve it
throughout all those long years.
Accompanying the flag, also as a gift
to the state from the same ladies, is an
original letter bearing the signature Of
David G.. Burnet, who was then the
president of the republic. and Of A
Somervel, who was then the republics
secretary of war, written several
months after the battle of San Jacinto.

New Orleans, Sept 1O.-President
Chaleron closed the Union National

The cause of the suspension is attribu-

amount to about half a million dollars.
There had been quite a run for some
time The failure caused a considera-
bic run on other banks, and last night

bank. It is expected that several ar
rests will be ordered. Suspicion seems
to rest upon some Of the bank employees.
