he bought these dollars for seventy five cents apiece from a Wall street firm and then passed them at face value. contends that he has commit ted no crime since the coin in ques- tion were issued by the government On the other hand the magistrate who ordered the complaint drawn against the prisoner asserts that there is cheating somewhere and consequent ly fraud No charge of counterfeiting is made and the defense asserts that the mere fact that a coin is purchased for less than it's face value but more than its actual bullion value does not make it's circulation crime. On this basis it is contended the passing of the present silver dollar would be wrong Altogether the case when it comes to trial promises some interest ing features.

lBOUT ADVERTISING-NO. 9
 The Doctor Whose
 Patients Hang On
By Herbert Kaufman.

Out in China all things are not topsy turvy. Phy5icians are paid for keeping people oOeH and when their patients fall i'll their weekly salary check isstopped. The Chinese judge amedical man not by the number of years he lives, but by the length of time his clients survive.
 An advertising medium must be judged in the same way. The fact that 1t has age to its credit isn't so important as the age of fts adUer- tising batronage Whenever a newspaper con- tinues to display the store talk of the same es- tablishment year after year, it's pretty sure sign that the merchant has made money out of that newspaper, because no publication can continue to be a losing investment to its GUS toners over a stretch of time without the fact being discovered. And when a newspaper is able to boast of an honor roll of stores that have continued to appear in its pages for stretch of decades 1t has broUen its superiority as plainly as a mountain peak which rises above its fellows.
 The combination of stability and brogressis the strongest virtue that newspaper can pos sesS. Onlythe ftsurUiUe- e-reputation Is difficult thing to get and harder thing to hold-it takes merit to earn 1t and character to maintafn 1t. There is a vast difference between fame and n0t0riety, and just as much difference between Jatnons neqUsbaber and notorious one.
 Just as manufacturer Is always eager to install his choicest stocks in store which has earned the respect of the community, just so a retailer should be anxious to insert hisnamei in newspaper which has earned tie respect of its readers. The manufacturer feels that he will receive square deal from a store which has age to its credit. He can expectas much from a newspaper which is credit to its age
 The newspaper which outlives the rest does so because 1t was best fitted tO-it had to earn the confidence of its readers keep #. It had to be better newspaper than any other, and better newspapers goto the homes of better buyers. Every bit of its circulation has the element of quality and staying bOqver And it is the respectable, hOme-loUing element of every community-not the touts andthe gamblers toward which the merchant must look for his business Vertebrae-he cannot find buyers un- less he uses the ne70sbaber that enters their homes And when he does enter their homes he must not confuse the sheet that comes in the back gate with the newspaper that is de- livered at the front door.

Is a goat a crime or a disease2 This is the astonishing question which in a perfectly serious way has been put up to the city's legal talent after heated controversy. The police de- partment holds the animal to be disease, and refers it to the health de- partment There the eater of tin cans and theatrical posters has been sOlemnly dcnominated a crime. and not coming as such within the health departments jurisdiction. referred back to the police. Ludicrous as the question may seem. 1t will now have to be decided officially in order that the proper department of the city's guardians may be instructed to deal with the plague of goats now troubling the lower east side. These animals seem suddenly to have su- perseded the cat as the popular pet among the masses of this crowded district. and so numerous have they become and so serious their depreda- tions that some official action must be taken. Indeed the situation close ly resembles that supposed to be pecu- liar tO Harlem before the district was filled up with fashionable apartment houses. Within the last month two old women and three children have been almost killed by these omnivor- ous animals which were animated by no more improper desire than to con sume as food the clothes of their vic tims. The police department on being appealed to for the suppression of the goat announced that there was no pound for the reception of this animal and that its suppression was the duty of the health department. thus making it a disease. The health de partment. after careful investigation announced itself unable to discover any disease known as goat, referring the matter back to the police, thus making the goat a crime Eastsidcrs assert that the animal is both disease and crime, and several other things, and are waiting his classification be- fore they can look for relief from the goat plague.

While the country has managed to survive without a poet laureate up to now this deficiency will soon be sup piled if the curious bill which a New Yorker will introduce at the next ses- sion of congress is passed. This bill is intended solely to create by legisla- tive methods the office of poet to the federal government. The framer of the measure argues that there is all ready an official historian to the fed eraI government and that the glory and greatness of the country make an official poet an absolute necessity. Furthermore, he modestly provides in his bill that he shall be the first oc- cupant of the new office, mot for any financial reasons, but purely for the honor of it." as he puts it. So if the office is created it will not only be brought about by a New Yorker but filled by one as well. The method of selecting the proper man for such a job would naturally prove a difficult one. Competitive trials it is feared would result in placing the judges in asylums. Also if the official poet had to write campaign verse the matter would be still further complicated. There is certain to be a highly inter esting debate when this bill comes before congress.

PREVENT
CELLAR FLOOD

There is no practical solution of
the flood problem which today con-
fronts residents of Union park and
vicinity. At conference of
Street Commissioner ONO and
Foreman Tillish this morning it
was decided that nothing could be
done except allow the water to
seep back into the earth. Last
night almost every cellar in that
section of the town was flooded,
some cellars containing five feet
of water at midnight. Although
the present food has been severer
than in past years, it is a condi-
ton present every spring when
the warm Chinook winds and the
rain melts the snow
There was once a ravine in the
vicinity of Stone st. where most OF
the trouble occurred, but the water
has been turned by street work,
with the result that it follows the
streets and run into easements.
This it is believed will not occur
again, as there is now ready for
submission to the council an Or
dinance providing for sewer No. 3,
which will be located in the dis
trict. When it is finished the
water which now is flooding base
ments and cellars will drain into
it and run off into the river.
Street work near Division and
Cleveland has been stopped on &C.
count of the rain which filled up a
tunnel last night that is being
driven to drain the water which
comes down along the road from
Lidgerwood. 1t has bee ndecideu
to discontinue work and to await
several days until the water seeps
back into the earth.

Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 6-Joseph Stoet-
eel, 2714 Harvard av., claims to
have perfected a carrying device
whereby-.a speed of $40 miles an
hour can be attained.
Stoetzel says he develops this
speed in a pneumatic tube. TO
prove his ability TO doubters he
has a working model large enough
to carry human freight, through
which he wnizzes at the dizzy
speed of nine miles a minute.
Heretofore the obstacle expert
enced in perfecting high speed con.
trivances such as pneumatic tubes
has been failure to build tubes
larger than eight inches in diamet.
er. Stoetzel has built tube 231a
inches in diameter in which he
does his speeding.
Stoetzel develops the unheard OF
speed by creating a partial vacuum
in front Of the carrier and allowing
the natural air pressure behind to
force the carriage ahead.
Postal authorities have been
watching the inventor and he has
been invited to Washington to give
demonstration of the practical
bility of his scheme, which, if sue
cessful. with revolutioniZe the
pneumatic tube arrangements now
in use in the pOstofIices in large
cities.

CHIEF RICE SEES
NOTHING WRONG

After investigation of an alleged

% of the Ziegler block Police Chief
Rice this morning reported that
no betting or receiving of bets has
been going on, He stated that a
telegraph operator is kept there
who relays the racing information
to the Lewiston, Idaho, poolroom,
by leased wire. In this manner
the full charge which the Western
Union about year ago put into
effect, is overcome. At one time
the Western Union used to handle
racing returns at a very low rate,
which made it possible for pool
rooms to be conducted at profit,
but under the new rules such a
small concern as the Lewiston
poolroom could not exist unless a
private wire service was secured.
Chief Rice said:
