been suspended. The first few days.
output amounted to $430, 900, but the
double eagles, it has been found, will
not stack" with the old coins of the
same denomination. In stack of $500
the new coins are half the thickness of
a piece short. While the double eagles
again bear the legend "In God We
Trust" it has been learned that the
trust is not of ten-dollar dimensions.
Superintendent Sweeney received a
telegram from Washington saying,
"Coin eagles with In God We Trust. %
In due time letter was received by
him from Washington authorities
which read, 1--WE wired you as fol-
lows: "Coin no eagles with in God
We Trust This we beg leave to con-
firm"
The coinage of the eagles stopped
and the money presses are idle, await

being $4,000, the damage probably did
not exceed 5000 or $500. The dispatch
came to the Associated Press from a
source which was believed to be entirely
reliable.
