ensuing "a years following the order
of Mr.. Jefferson's secretary discon-
tinuing the coinage of silver dollars,
in all the discussions in congress on
the subject of coinage, not one in
congress or out of congress, is known
to have denounced that act as
''great crime" or even objected to
it. 1t caused no popular storm to
sweep over the country demanding
the reconciliation and coinage of
the neglected silver dollar to disturb
the stability of business and the
peace of the people. Panics came
and went during all that period of "a
years and nobody attributed them
and their attending distress to any
great CRIME which Mr. jefferson had
committed by his order stopping the
coinage of the silver dollar, which
his successors failed to discover.
Twenty-three years after the pass
age of the act of 1873, people speak
glibly of the ''great crime" who have
little conception of the ''crime'' of
which they prate, or if they do it is
for purposes of deception for selfish
motives. They have neither the in
terest of truth or the people in view.
Millions have grown into manhood
since 1873 and millions who have at
tanned that ege were then unborn
these have little or no true personal
understanding of the condition Of the
country when the s.ereat crime" was
committed.

THE GREAT CRIME OF ts0t

Since the free silver coinage agita-
tion began and the people have
talked, written and published tons of
matter about silver and It's coinage,
the advocates of free and unlimited
coinage have been incessant in their
denunciation of ''the great crime of
1873" and "demopetizatlon of sill
YER" That ''great crime" consisted
in the representatives of the people
passing an act codifving all previous
laws. relating to coinage, and. in the
list of coins, omitted, or, as it is
sometimes said dropped, but by the
free silver advocates demonetized,
the silver dollar. They adopted this
latter term probably because it Is a
long word and can be used Indefinite
ly to indicate the decentralization of
silver entirely; which has never been
done Silver has been coined con-
tinuously from the establishment of
the mint down to the present time.
Has anybody ever heard free sill

denounce Thomas jefferson for dis.
continuing the coinage of silver dol
lars in 1896, inquiries an exchange? !?
Under that order not a single silver
dollar was coined for thirty-four
years. That order WAS issued, not
by any special authority of an act of
congress, but by the fat of Mr.. JEFF
ferson, through James Madison, his
secretary of state.
Now, it is pertinent question to
ask those who prate of ssthe great
crime of 1873" whether that act was
any greater crime than that of NJ.

Madison were distinguished among
the most able statesmen of the revo-

been prominent among the trainers

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Annual Meeting of Yesterday Was
Very Largely Attended
Brief Synopsis Of the Reports Read. Which
Are Full of Interest, Displaying
Zeal Of Members

The club room of the chamber Of COM
merce was comfortably filled yesterday by
Los Angeles leading merchants, it being
the eighth annual meeting.
In the unavoidable absence of the presi-
dent, General Forman called the meeting
to order. ]. A. Graves having de-
clined the nomination for the vacant
craftsmanship of the committee on laws
and legislation, motion was carried em-
powering the secretary to ballot for
the election of a member to fill the vacan-
cy, resulting in L. A. Croft being chosen.
This was made necessary by the vote on
January 8, 1896, the occasion of the an
nual election of officers and directors for
the ensuing year, when j. A. Graves and
l.. A. Croft each polled twenty-five ballots,
resulting in no election being made.
The report of w. &. Patterson, president
of the chamber, was then read, which re-
cited the success of the chambers exhibit
at Atlanta, Los Angeles county taking 5
per cent moro medals than all the rest of
the state put together. The outlook for
the Fiesta was spoken of as being proInis
ing, very influential committee of promi-
nent men of business having the matter in
hand. The San Pedro harbor question, in
the hands of the Free Harbor league. is
raridly nearing happy solution. The re-
port of Superintendent Francis Virgins,
that of Secretary G. ID. Willard, of J. A.

lands, and of Kaspare Cohn, chairman of
the committee on manufactures, were
adopted. The following members were

There was a change for the worse in the

chances of recovery are not now regarded
as at all favorable. The change was no.

PRICES ARREST

Peculiar Circumstances Connected With an
Arrest by a Deputy Constable
Yesterday Fillmore Price, an old resident
OF this city, appeared in the police court
charged with drunkenness, and was fined
So by Judge Owens, which he paid and was
discharged from custody.
There is nothing unusual in citizen
being arrested and fined for being drunk,
but if the story told by Mr.. Price is true,
and there is apparently no reason to doubt
his veracity, an outrage has been perpe-
trated upon him, for which some one
should be punished.
Thursday night about o'clock, Mr.. Price
says he was approached by deputy con-
stable, who without a warrant placed him
under arrest, and marched him to the
county jail, where he was turned over to
the jailer. and charge of begging entered
against him. The iiiler, it is alleged, did
not wish to hold Price, when tine deputy
constable told him to lock him up anyway,
as he had rented some land from his sister,
and had never paid the rent.
As near as can be ascertained, Price had
some trouble over piece OF land, the own
ership of which was in dispute, and had re-
fused to pay the rent to one of the parties
claiming the same. and that for this rea-
son, the deputy constable had been LAY
ing for him.
1eSteruay morning lie was taken from
the county Jail to the city prison, where he
was locked up and a charge OF drunk en-
tered against him. He is booked on the
police register to Constable Harry John
ston. but the arrest was made by one of his
deputies.
1t is said at the jail that when Price was
brought in he had been drinking, but was
not in such condition that he was unable
to take care of himself.
Price lives at No. 4l6 North Walnut
street, and is we'll known on the East Side.
Constable Johnston will make thorough
investigation of the case. with view to
bringing out all the facts. and if Prices
arrest was not justitiable one there will

BY THE MORPHINE ROUTE
Suicide of an Eastern Man at the
Westminster Hotel
Supposed to Be Fred A. Simpson of Dscatur
or Peoria, IlI.-The Deed Evi.
IDENTIFY Premeditatei

A man supposed to be Fred A. Simpson
of Decatur or Peoria, ILL.,, committed sui
eide at the Westminster hotel sometime
early yesterday morning by taking an
eighth of an ounce of morphine.
Simpson went to the hotel Thursday
afternoon and was assigned to room No.
1856. He was we'll dressed, and had two
satchels and a trunk. There was nothing
about the mans appearance to attract any
special attention. He was fine-looking
speciman Of physical manhood, being a
tritie over six feet in height and we'll pro-
portioned. He was very we'll dressed, and
had every indication of being gentleman.
The man had evidently been drinking,
and was assisted to his room by the porter
at l o'clock last night, which was the last
time that he was seen alive. He ordered a
bottle of whisky sent to his room, with a
pitcher OF ice water, after which he locked
his door.
Yesterday morning Manager Potter was
notified by the cnambermaid that the door
TO room No. 1856 was locked on the inside,
and although she had knocked repeatedly
she had been unable to get any response.
Mr.. Potter thought that perhaps the
guest was a hard sleeper, but as he did not
make his appearance by noon he opened
the door and discovered Simpson. fully
dressed, curled up on the bed and stone
dead. The body was cold and the man
had evidently been dead some hours when
found. Simpson on entering his room had
evidently taken off his hat and sat down,
starting in on the whisky, all of which he
drank, as the bottle was empty. BY this
time he had evidently got his courage up
to the required point. and wrote his final
brief message, II pray for my father and
mother before 1 die.n He then placed an
empty envelope, which had evidently con-
tanned letter addressed to him at San
Fernando, with the return card on the cor
ner, on the table with the note, and took
the fatal dose, falling back on the bed. He
NUT have become unconscious very short
ly after taking the deadly drug. On a
stand near by was an empty phiai which
had contained an eighth of all ounce of
morphine. and this told the whole story.
On the discovery of the body Manager
Potter called in DR.. Post, and lie in turn
notified the coroner. The body was at
once removed 10 kregelo q Bresee's under
taking establishment on South Broadway,
where the inquest will be held today.
The dead man was evidently abe ut 50
years of age, as his hair was quite gray.
He was q splendidiy developed specimen
OF physical manhood and was evidently
not used to hard work.
The coroner examined his baggage, but
there was nothing that would give the
slightest clue to his identity.
