Victim Tries to Dispose Of His Buy
TO Government.
San Francisco, May 25.--United States
mint officials discovered yesterday what
appears to be gigantic gold brick"
swindle. with e. Cohn of the Crossley
building as the victim. Cohn took a
large metal bar to the mint yesterday
morning for deposit. The experienced
eyes of the receiving clerk, Major d.
L. Noggle, discerned that the Ingot had
a suspicious appearance. The doubts
as to its genuineness were confirmed
by an assay, not trace of precious
metal being found.
When cohn was advised In the aft
ernoon of the results OF the assay, he
staggered as II he had been shot. A
companion. in the excitement, turned
to the man with the exclamation:
II told you SO! told you that 1t
was a swindle"
The pair took the worthless bar away
with them. Subsequently Superin-
tendent F. A. Leach of the mint advised
Secret Service Agent William J. Burns
Of the peculiar transaction. The mint
people are satisfied that Cohn was the
victim of gold brick" deal, and prob
ably was hard hit. Major Noggle noti-
fled Superintendent Leach that had
the bar been genuine It would have
beenworth $4,000, AS 1t is, the assay
showed 1t was absolutely worthless.
The brick, as described by Major
Noggle, was a rough blackened affair,
not gilded, but OF brass, with the APP
pearance to an Impractical eye OF al
bar Of alloyed gold. In size 1t was
large enough to have carried $4,000
in gold, but not heavy enough to be
precious metal
e. Cohn is a money lender In the
Crossley building Cohn's brother said
today that two brothers named Gut
ter, race track men, had obtained from
f. Cohn $4,000 on many different
schemes, and the latter was pressing
them for payment Of the debt. Max

The Perry is In need Of repair. Some

Captain Dunwoody's hope that he will
be able to get away tonight. 1t was
stated yesterday that perhaps the
Perry would not return In the fall to
Astoria, where she has wintered for
several years past. but that another

Just what object the department might
have in making the change was not
stated, but ii is presumed the officials
of the service are anxious to locate
here a cutter large enough to render
assistance to shipping during the win
ter storms. The Perry Is almost too
small for effective work Of this sort
Every winter there is more or less

weather and larger cutter would be
Of great assistance. However, nothing

Z Eatmers, cotton seIIlns Union.

-
Every one who has given any atten-
ton to the price of cotton must have
noticed the gradual, fall In price which
usually takes place from tho opening
Of the market In September to the close
OF the year. The CHIEF reason for this
decline is no doubt to be found in the
rapid gathering of the cotton and
rusing into market. Now. 1t seems
to me q plan might be adopted where's
by cotton should not be allowed to fall
below fixed price. which should be
liked. by the farmers themselves.
Suppose It should be Desired to fix
the unanimous price atiten cents. Then
let 4 sFarmers Vpion. /" y consisting of
fifty or more, unite In holding say one
fourth of the crop, which shall not be
sold for less than ten cents per pound.
II in every county In the cptton-erow-
ing states this association should be
formed, then three. or four millions Of
bales would be held for not less than
ten cents. Does anyone doubt that the
price Of cotton would thus be main
tanned at ten cents or more?
Surely the farmers are able to hold
e-fourth of the crop until they
choose to SELL II they would only Co
operate In doing this they could nx the
price of cotton. AS they grow in in'
telligence, they will be able to do this
and spectators must cease to max
more out of cotton than the producee'
do.-W. L. c. H., In Dixie Farmer.
