A. E. ROBINSON DIES
OF APPENDICITIS
POPULAR OCEAN PARK TRUSTEE
PASSES AWAY
Prominent City Official and cIubman
of Beach Town Mourned
by Host of
Friends

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, Nov. 16.-After hav-
ing lowered between life and death
since November 6, when he was oper-
ated on for appendicitis, Aldese Eddy
Robinson, serving his third term as
Ocean Park city trustee. died this
morning shortly after 8 o'clock.
Although complaining for more than
q year, Mr.. Robinson was not thought
by his friends to be suffering from any
thing serious, and it was not until he
was removed to the Santa Monica bay
hospital to be operated on that the
seriousness of his condition was real
lied.
Three operations were held on the
trustee, each of which weakened him,
and from the last of which he never
rallied.
Mr.. Robinson was born at Niles,
Mich, May 8, 1859, and was a resident
of that city until he took up his home
here on the incorporation of Ocean
Park in 1904. He was knights Temp
lar and member of Saladin temple of
the Mystic shrine.
A wife and sister survive the de-
ceased Pending final arrangements
for the funeral, which will be held
Tuesday, the body will be kept in a
receiving vault at the Kerkelie under
taking establishment in this city.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ADVOCATED BY ITALIAN
BY Aaaoclatec: Press.

BY Associated Press.
VIENNA, Nov 16.-An article in tho
Neue Erie Presse, written by signor luz
zati, Italy's foremost financial author
ity, urging the calling of an international
conference to consider the gold crisis, is
attracting attention in financial circles.
Luzzati proposes that the treasures
and the leading banks of the world be
represented, and with delegates to ex-
anime the status OF banks OF Issue and
reform them. He believes the statutes
are out of date and that they make
all money crises worse. This, he says, is
especially true Of America and England.
The antique regulations of the Bank Of
England decrease the gold basis.
Joint stock banks ought to increase
their reserves and not rely alone upon
the Bank of England, which no longer
governs the money market and is on the
point Of losing its monetary autonomy
because its metal basis is too small.
Signor Luzzati favorS an international
agreement among the worlds chief banks
for reciprocal loans of gold, so as to pre-
vent rivalry. He Suggests that Austria
and Italy jointly ask France, as the
chief banking power of the world, to
summon the conference.

EXTRAVAGANT LIVING GIVEN
AS CAUSE OF STRINGENCY
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Extravagant liv-
ing by those who have made money
easily during prosperous times and the
efforts of others to live on an equal
scale, are citeL as leading causes for
present financial difficulties by President
William H. Colvin Of the Chicago stock
exchange in an address at Fellowship
dinner given last night by the Fort
Dearborn club.
The speaker also referred to the fine
imposed by Judge Lands on the. Stand
ard OIL company, saying: This fine,
equal to thirty times the company's cap
ital, and the statement from the govern
ment that it can be collected, surely had
an important bearing on the value of all
securities, for the clerks of any COM
pany might be equally negligent with no
dishonest motive, or, being dishonest or
malicious, could ruin every stockholder." 3"
Mr. Colvin spoke of certain recent state
legislaTN0n against railroads as an effort
ito secure a portion of public applause
OF make political capital, as had bean
so successfully done in Washington
Many attacks on corporations, ne as
serted, have been mercilessly destructive
without carrying with them any quality
of creativeness. He advocated the pass
age of wise currency law.

the use as advertising matter any form OIL
handbills, placards or printed or engravoo
slips resembling or bearing the slightest
fac-simile to the scrip which has beon
issued by the Los Angeles clearing mousse
This step was determined upon after tne
clearing house committee and NUMBER
OF citizens had made complaint tnat per-
sons were being deceived by suon FORMS
Of advertisements Issued by numper ol
firms.
The first instance to which the attention
of the police was called was an adver-
tisement of the Fountain saloon. 1t was
q plainly printed piece of blue paper anu
did not pretend in any way TO initiate
scrip, but a negress and one or two Mexl-
can laborers were imposed upon by IL.
The next instance was one whlcn
reached the serious point and caused the
action by the clearing house officers
1t was an advertisement gotten out by
a printing firm for T. L. Caroe, trunk
manufacturer.
The advertisement was printed on slips
of safety paper in the size of a bank Dill
and bore across the top in script type the
words "Los Angeles Clearing House.
Immediately below that were tne WoruS
"Of trunks, bags, valises, ETC." The slip
then went on to state that it would be
taken by the trunk dealer at face value
on purchases amounting to So and up
ward The figures $1.O0 were printed on
both ends of the paper and it was num-
bered at the top in red ink as the regular
clearing house scrip is. Mr.. Caroe was
innocent in the matter and accepted the
idea merely as an advertising scheme
AS soon as his attention was called to
the danger he destroyed all the slips he
had on hand and made every endeavor to
get back all that had been distributed.
While there is no question Of Mr..
Caroes position in the matter the police
are Of the opinion that unscrupulous per-
sons would take advantage of such ad-
vertisements, and as there is no ordinance
which gives them power to take UP and
destroy such advertising Chief Kern will
ask the council to act promptly.
