OCEAN PARK, June 10.-Presldent
r. J. Vawtcr, jr., of the First National
bank of this city received today num-
Der of the $40 and $40 gold pieces issued
by tho government and then called in,
the dies being Cancelled because the
words I'm God we trust" were omitted
by order of the president. The rarest
of these is the 500 pieces issued in 1907,
with raised figures and so embossed, as
it were, that, the centers being thicker
than the sides, the coins would not
stack.
These latter pieces have sold for as
high as SIS each, because it is under
stood only $1,000 worth of them was
minted. The wonder is how Mr.. Vaw-
ter got as many of them as he did; and
he won't tell. The other coins, he says.
are being sold to collectors at an adj
vance of Is per cent, and there Is a
tIarge demand for them. Very few of
the original 1907 coins of $40 value can
be secured at all, and those Mr.. Vaw-
ter has are to be used only for exhibi-
ton purposes. The bank offers, how
ever, to get few of the 1908 coins for
those who may wish to keep them as
souvenirs.

Squad and Jury Decides
for Defendants
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, June 10,--After a jury
trial before City Recorder Prescott OF
South Pasadena this morning. George
II. Freeman of 161 South Hudson aY-
enue was acquitted of the charge of ex-
ceeding the speed limit in his automo-
bile. The case was an unusual and
interesting one, because of the fact that
a jury was employed, and because 1t
was, in way, trial of the South
Pasadena Motorcycle squad, against
whom automobilists have had suspi-
cions and hard feelings for some time.
Freeman and the friends who were
riding in his car, 45-horsepower
Pierce Arrow, on Fremont avenue at
the time the arrest was made testified
that they kept one eye on the motor
cycle policemen and the other on their
speedometer, which registered at nc
time more than thirteen miles. They
attacked the accuracy of the speedo-
meters used by the officers. which
registered twenty-one miles. The court
twice refused to dismiss the case on
the ground that the prosecution had
failed to produce sufficient evidence
but the jury, after twenty minutes de-
liberation, brought in verdict of not
guilty.
