GOT $50, 1000 IN COIN
FROM HIDDEN GRAVE

LAUREL, Del, July 9.-Asbury
Hammond has dug $4,000 in gold
and silver coin out of grave on his
farm in the last week, and all his
neighbors are busy ploughing over
their own fields in hope of a similar
windfall. The local bank has taken
the money and given Hammond full
credit for it, so there can be no
question of the value Of the find.
Hammond was scrub farmer,
whose land barely supported him.
This sudden access of fortune
came when his plow point struck
brick vault in sandy soil. He got
pick and opened the vault. AS
soon as he recovered from the hor-
ror of seeing a skeleton there he
went inside. A bag of coin lay at
the skeletons head and another
at the feet. One of them contained
Spanish and American gold and sill
yer worth $4,000, and similar con-
tents in the other were worth
$4,000. The coin looked new, al
though the latest date on any of it
was 1921.
Hammond at first took only one
bag to the bank. When he appeared
with the second the news of his
luck had spread and all his friends
wanted to hear about it. Since then
hundreds Of people have gone out to
his farm to look at the grave.

TO "SOAK" THE "SOAK-
ERS" NOW PUT UP
TO MACVEAGH
Firms Getting Alcohol From the
Old Whiskey Barrels Can't Pay
Full Revenue Tax.

WASHINGTON, July 9-Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue Royal
E. Cabell has put the question of
how to soak" the soakers for the
tax on the alcohol they soak from
old whiskey barrels up to Secre-
tary MacVeagh. The secretary is
expected to render a final decision
next week.
About 20 establishments sweat
alcohol out of old barrels that have
been used for whiskey and alcohol.
This alcohol has been untaxed. The
business has grown TO enormous
proportions and by reason of failure
to tax this alcohol the government
is losing about 81 100000 revenue in
year.
Commissioner Cabell has ordered
that this alcohol be taxed at $1.10
gallon, just as other alcohol This
will drive the concerns engaged in
the work out of business, for the
margin of profit is too small to
enable them to pay the tax.

they were not wanted for clerking,

purposes, and that if they did not

This form of vice is permitted by

foreigners of this class that are
not familiar with American laws or
the English language, stand in awe
of the police. What liberties they
receive are welcomed as If given
by imperial mandate, as the police
are looked upon as the beginning

city.
These foreigners are willing to
pay for liberties if the police will
tell the Chinese they can smoke

EAST RESPONSIBLE
FOR TIGHT MONEY

Eastern influences are respon-
sible for the money tightness that
has recently been felt here. East
ern concerns with Spokane connec-
lions that have been loaning a lot
OF money here on first mortgage
security have ordered a checking
up in their loans until money con-
ditions in the east improve. This
has thrown on to the local banks
the burden of furnishing the cash
for building operations under way,
many of which jobs had already
arranged for mortgages to care for
their needs.
Many attribute this sudden tight
ening of the money market to a
desire on the part of Wall street
to get even with the nation at large
for forcing hostile railway legisla-
ton in congress. The conditions
of Spokane banks and general bust
ness here was never better in its
