CURRENCY THE PARAMOUNT
TOPIC AT WASHINGTO

Washington, May 26.-The currency
was the paramount topic at the CAPT
toll today. At the house end the Re-
publican conferees on the currency
bill were early in close conference,
while a similar meeting was in pro-
gress in Senator Aldrich's oom 1t
was understood that the two commit
tees would hold a joint conference
before taking the Democratic mem
bers Of the committee into their con-
fidence. For the present they are pro

tween the senate and house bills, but
with a general understanding that

consideration at the next convention

resurrect Mr.. Larrazolo as nominee

here, amusing. He has carried the par

nomination the Southern portion and
the Pecos Valley of New Mexico gave
him a majority over Andrews and

NEW EAGLE PIECE

Otto Winkler, of the Pacific Saloon,
who returned from a trip to the coast
on the Lurline few days ago, brought
with him one of the new $40 gold pieces
and it is attracting general interest in
this city when seen. The design is far
more handsome than that of the coins
which were recently retired. On the
edge, instead of milling, are the words
"E. Pluribus Unum," with 10 stars. On
the face is the Goddess of Liberty
standing, with an olive branch in one
hand and trumpet in the other. The
rays of the sun form the background,
with the date 1908 near her feet on the
right and a picture of the capital build
ing on the left.
On the reverse side is an eagle in
flight with the words I'm God We
Trust and Omitted States of America,
twenty dollars" On this side too the
rays of the sun appear shooting from
behind the eagle.

ACQUITTAL ENDS
NOTABLE TRIAL

After a four days trial in which
there were continually sharp argu-
ments taking place between the at
torneys, HUI Vim and Lau Kam charg-
ed with violation of the Edmunds Act,
were found not guilty by a jury in
Judge Doles court yesterday. The jury
was only out for about five minutes.
Attorney Il. A. Douthitt, counsel for
the defence, brought a smile to the
faces of the jurymen by his calling
the case was being prosecuted. He
spoke of the Assistant U. S. District
Attorney, Mr.. Rawlins, assisted by
Judge Quarles, late member of the SUI
preme Court OF Idaho, then of Attorney
J. Ligthfoot, also associated in the case
and wound up by stating that he sup
posed that it was only on account of
illness that the galaxy of legal stars
had not been increased by the presence
of the chairman of the Republican Ter
ritorial Committee, Hon "A. l.. G. At
kinson, the latest partner of the jurist
from Idaho.
The case was one in which HUI Yin,
tailor in a Chinese shop in this city,
and Lau Kim, pretty little Chinese
woman, were charged with violation
of the Edmunds Act. The defense was
that the woman was acting as HUI Yins
housekeeper and that she was forced
to obtain employment of some kind, on
account of the fact that her husband
did not support her.

MOTOR CATCHES
RUNAWAY STAGE
HARRY JOHANSEN TELLS OF AN
EXCITING ADVENTURE IN HUM
BOLDT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-Harry
Johansen, who has just returned from
a tour of the north coast counties in
a big seven-passenger White steamer,
succeeded while returning from the
trip in stopping a runaway stage on
one of the steepest and toughest
grades of Humboldt. AS the automo-
bile party stopped at spring to get
drink a driverless stage taring down
the grade with the horses a a keen
run, passed them. Johansen, with
one of his party at his side started af-
| ter the runaway, which was already
| lost in a cloud of dust. 1t was not
difficult for the White to catch up with
| the stage, but the dust was so thick
that it was dangerous to approach toe
close. The grade was very steep and
narrow and the pursuers expected ev'
cry moment to see their quarry top
pie over into the deep canyon.
Finally, after almost five miles haC
been covered, the dust cleared ava!
on rocky piece of road. Selling thu
chance, Johansen drove his car clos
up against the rear of the stage, anC
the man on the front scat with hin
climbed over the hood to the vehicle
He then clambered over the top to tn,
front seat, where he seized the rein
and soon brought the tired horses t,
stop.
The horses started from station
while no one was in the stage, and tn
autombile party was warmly thanket
by the stage driver for saving hi
property, for when the runaway wa
stopped 1t was near a turn wher
