Mint Salt Is Dismissed

4 suit was dismissed yesterday in the
United States Court here which was one
of those connected with the mint scandal
in this city some years ago. The suit
was n against Elias B. Zabriskie and
bondsmen to recover the sum of $50, 600
and it was dismissed on motion of
United States District Attorney Sam
Plutt, representing the government.
The suit was dismissed because gre
had passed M act in 1905 absolving the
two bOndsmen, Robert d. McAffe and
j. Chiatovich, from all responsibility
for the amount and Zabriskie died in.
solvent some years ago.
The mint scandal" rs it anne to be
termed in local circles, grew out of the
shortage ut the Carson mint of about
5000 ounces of gold, and ON investigation,
it was found that the loss was due to
the dishonesty of John T. Jones, assist
ant meter and %refiner, and James
Heney, an employee Of the same depart.
ment. Both these men were found
guilty in the courts and sentenced to
eight years in the penitentiary and pay
fines of $4,000. Both served their prison
sentences and Heney has since been par
doned by the president.
The investigation showed that the
bullion was distracted from the mint
by substituting bars of much lower
grade of bullion than that which they
purpOrted to he. This and other de-.
vices were employed by those looting
the mint and the announced shortage
amounted to $50, $40. ~,
Suit was brought against Zabriskie
and his two bondsnen on the bond for
SEQ, 900 but the congressional act three
years ago released the bondsmen Of re-
sponsibility. Zabriskie died insolvent
and now the proceedings in the case
are dismissed.
so far MS the legal status of the case
is concerned the dismissal of the suit
winds mp the mint scandal" As to
the moral status 1t is doubtful If any
person profited by the r''big steal" and
it is II certainty that through It lives

BERKELEY, Cal, Nov. 14.-Be-
cause the state of California con-
siders itself financially unable to
build at the State university a dor
mitory for women students, the
Prytanean society and allied or
CARNATIONS. composed of "co-eds,"
are hard at work raising the neces-
sary money through their own ef-
forts. Already they have secured.
by one means or another, $7276,
and still further schemes for
money raising are being conceived
for execution in the near future.
The most interesting thing
about all this activity of the Pry-
taneans Is its absolute unselfish-
ness. Not one of the many girls
who are working will be able to
personally enjoy the fruits of their
labors. Before the first dormitory
is built many of them will have
taken their diplomas from Presi-
dent Benjamin Ide Wheeler.
Many have been the methods of
the Prytaneans to raise the neces-
sary funds for this first structure.
During vacations they have had
entertainments and dances in their
various home towns. Then there
have been garden parties in Berke-
ley, lawn fetes at Idora park, be-
tween Berkeley and Oakland. and
many another kind of affair This
year the young women held an
elaborate fete in the university
gymnasium. and the money they
took in at the door and at the
booths is expected to make still
another cosy addition to the ever
increasing fund.

on the verge of starvation! -Four
hundred and fifty thousand people
sleeping in the streets Of London
every night throughout the bitter
est weather of the year! Briefly
this describes the terror that stalks
by day and night in England today.
For years past the few in Eng
land have been getting richer and
richer and their standard of luxury
gone higher and higher. But all
this time employment has been de-
creasing and poverty, has become
rampant to an extent hitherto un-
known.
At the present moment all Eng
land is wondering what is going to
happen before this winter ends. Are
all these millions Of people to
starve In the streets, or will they
take the law into their own hands
and seize by force the food which
they are otherwise unable to get?
The blight of this terrible pow
erty has brought England to a
crisis. Something has to be done
at once. Something entirely revo-
lutionary to what has ever been at
