TONS OF GOLD COIN MOVED.
1925, 100000 Shipped From WASH
ington To Denver Mint.

Washington, D. C. Especially =
Moving 100000 in gold coin a
distance of more than 1000 miles
without accident or without loss of
dollar is the feat just successfully
accomplished by the Treasury De-
partment of the United States under
the supervision OF the director OF the
mint.
Owing to the fact that all tho
principal vaults of the San Francisco
Mint had become filled with gold
coin, and the basement and other
less secure vaults of the mint had
to be used to store this additional
accumulation OF gold, It was deemed
desirable TO move this amount to the
new modern vaults OF the Denver
mint. which are the largest and most
secure OF any in the United States.
Secretary Cortelyou, therefore, order
ed It's transfer. The movement OF
the coin was begun August 15 and
was completed December 10.

RUEF SENTENCED TO
a YEARS IN PRISON
Former Frisco Boss Sent to San
Quentin For a Long Term.

San Francisco Especially .-Abra-
ham Ruef. formerly the political boss
of San Francisco, was sentenced to
serve IA years in the State Peniten-
tiary at San Quentin by Judge Will
liam B. Lawler, who presided over

Ruef was convicted on the charge
of Offering to bribe John ]. Furey, a
member of the boodling Board of
Supervisors to vote for trolley fran
chise for the United Railroads. on
December 10. The trial was long
and sensational, and during its course
an attempt was made to assassinate
Francis j. Heney, the special prose-
cutor of Ruef. The jury was out "a
hours and 20 minutes before an
agreement could be reached.
Ruef became the political boss of
San Francisco in 1901. His career
was free from indictments until
March. 1907, when he was the sub
ject of 81, all of which charged
bribery. On March 10. 1907, he
confessed. In the meantime District
Attorney Langdon and Francis J.
Heney, special District Attorney, had
investigated the boss methods as far
back as 1901 and secured the evil
dence on which Ruef was brought to
trial.
Ruef rose to power after Eugene
E. Schmitz had been elected Mayor
as labor candidate eight years ago.
Ruef twice aided in procuring
Schmitz's reelection as Mayor.

Rome Especially More than four
days have passed since tie occur
renee of the worst catastrophe IN
the history Of man. These four days
have been full OF inexpressible sor-
row and suffering to the Inhabitants
Of this city and Of all Italy. Never
before in the known history Of the
world has so great and appalling a
change occurred In 30 short a space
OF time Cities have been destroyed,
more than 1876 900 people killed. 60,-
900 injured. 100000 rendered home
less and destitute, the geographical
contour of a country changed and
historic landmarks swept into the
sea.
All this has taken place IN the
garden spot OF the world. where the
fertility OF the soil rivals the rich
ness of the Nile-bleesed Egypt, and
the sun-kissed hills are laden with
lemon groves and vineyards. Now
human bodies dot the desolate plains
and heaps OF ashes mark the site of
fiourishing cites. Hundreds of starv-
ing creatures are tramping the high
ways and fighting desperate battles
with each other and the dogs for a
bit of food. Rain has fallen in tor
rents. recurring tidal waves have
swept the coast and earthquake
shock has followed earthquake
shock, until the fugitives are de-
mented with terror and unable to
care for themselves.
Cheered BY Charity.
Gloomy as 10 the picture in South
ern Italy and Sicily, the spontaneity
of charity on the part OF the rest Of
the world has cheersd the hearts of
this suffering city and country. From
the most distant points have come
wordB of sympathy and substantial
expressions of kindness. Thousands
and thousands of dollars have been
received by the agents OF the Red
Cross Society and other agents here,
and are rapidly being converted into
food and raiment for the afflicted
people.
While the tale of miseYy Is not yet
complete, 1t is believed that the crest
of the calamity has been passed
This is the one cheering thought in
the hearts of Romans. They can pc
shocked by details. but they can no
longerbe startled by unexpected TRACE
dies. Every hour now sees the work
of relief more highly organized, sees
more survivors brought within the
pale OF ministering cities, sees fewer
naked, insane, starving people wan
dering aimlessly over the broken
roads.
