HOT TIME IN A SALOON.
Loafer Creates n Disturbance and
Keeper Eesents II with Well
Loaded Gun.

A serious shooting ARRAY was mar
rowly ayerted at 1873 south state street
today and but for the pluck and cool
headedness Of two women, the body Of
Joe smith, saloon loafer, would now
be adjoining slab In some undertake
ers' morgue, and L. W. jenkins, a
saloon keeper, would be locked In Jail
charged with the killing. But fortu-
nately the only damage done so far,
consists Of few broken doors and
windows at the place mentioned and
a broken glass at the Midway saloon.
II appears that Smith entered Jen-
kins' saloon this morning and after
kicking out a pane Of glass announced
his intention of going 70 jenkins home
and insulting a woman who Is there as
housekeeper, Smith started to carry
out his threat and went to jenkins
home. The latter demonstrated and

Then II appears, that the springs TO
Jenkins angry vat Vert tapped and
Selling gun he raped the bellicose
Smith several good ones on the era
mum. The later then rushed out on the
street and added materially to the
beauty Of the same by removing all
the rocks and brickbate and throwing
them through jenkins doors and win
dows The latter grabbed his gun for
the second time and started out to spill
blood when the two women In the house
fell on his neck and chung there until
Smith got out OF the way. Smith,
however, sent word that the had armed
himself with small 'gat' and pro-
posed returning and punsturing the
anatomy Of Jenkins. The latter hit the
trail for the police station, where he
told his troubles. The best that could
be done for him was to take his wea-
pom and admonish him 20 behave.
Late this afternoon Smith was ar
rested by officers Sperry and Olson. Ee
fought the officers for about two blocks
and they we're forced to club and choke
him into submission At the station
he put up another vicious fight but was
finally landed in the drunkhouse.

FREE SILVER IN MANILA.

The "beauties - of free silver are
now felt in the Philippines and Amer
lean business men at Manila are or
ganizing to make a strong appeal to
congress next winter for legislation
that will give them stable currency.
Many complaints are being made to
the controller of the currency of the
existing conditions, and among them
is one from the Manila manager Of q
large New York importing house. he
says:
You will understand the conditions
better when l tell you that United
States dollar is worth 50. 40 in Mexi.
can silver that is, for every gold dol.
lar or dollar Of the United States cur
rency 1 can get 50. 40 Mexican, but il
1 have Mexican money and want to
buy gold I must pay SO. 40 or So. 90 fol
it at the banks Aside from this, the
value of silver is constantly huctua-
ting, and the merchants cannot tell
from one day to another what profit OF
loss they will make on a transaction.
It is an absolute fact that one firm
here figures its losses due to rise and
fall Of silver at 800, 600 for this year {
business so far. r.H
The case is simply this: Suppose
sell bill Of goods at 81, 600 United
States currency, say United States
currency, but when the time comes
for payment 1 must take my pay in
Mexican silver, because the govern
ment has fixed it at 50. 81, the legal
tender. My customer comes to pay
me 50, 27G in Mexican silver in settle
ment Of my bill for 81, 900 in gold.
but when go to pay my draft at the
bank they charge me 50. 40 for gold.
and have made a loss Of $3.50 by the
transaction, because the government
will not come out and give us the
dollar that they can say we guaran-
tee. 1t would not make any differ
ence wheather that dollar was worth
30 cents or 100 cents, but it must be
one or the other.
The American soldiers do not like
the state of affairs. One soldier com.
plains that he received a postoffice
money order from the United States
while in Manila. At the postofice he
was given Mexican silver, the post,
master refusing to pay him in United
States currency. But he owed his
debt in American money and to get il
from the bank he has to take 1914 in
exchange for the 1927 Mexican he had
just drawn from the postoffice on q
money order calling for 800.
