FEDERAL TREASURY PLANS
TO SUSPEND COMING GOLD
Officials Favor Issuing Certifi-
Gates for Coin

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-Coinage
in the United States will be suspended
for an indefinite period, If plans now
forming in the treasury department
are adopted. The idea is to issue gold
certificates for all gold bullion and
foreign coin turned into the mints,
instead of coming them into eagles
and double eagles.
It is understood that Treasurer Nc
Chung in his annual report will in
dorse the plan, which was originated
by A. Platt Andrew, now assistant
secretary of the treasury, when he was
director of the mint.
Two reasons for such a step are
pointed out. The first is to save from
$500, 900 to 100000 year in mint ex-
penses. The second is to stop coin
ing gold at the expense Of the United
States for the convenience of foreign
money markets, which use 1t for the
settlement of commercial balances.
The rate at which American coined
gold is exported is illustrated by the
situation which now confronts the
treasury. In spite of the fact that
more than $11.0O0,00O in gold was
coined during August, the mint at
Denver will be started up next week
to turn out gold coins at the rate OF
S4OO, 900 a day, the Philadelphia mint
will start coming gold in october and
the San Francisco mint is now making
eagles at the rate of $5O0,O0O day.

YOUTHS CLAIM THEY BEAT
ITALIAN TO PROTECT GIRL
Police Arrest Young Men on Bat
terry Charge

In the arrest of ]. c. Johnson and
Charles and Henry Adams on charges
of battery last night, the mystery sur
rounding the assault on Tony Geseta,
an italian, in front of 519 North Bunker
Hill avenue Monday night was cleared.
The accused told the officers that
Geseta was followeing young woman
who lives at 519 North Bunker Hill
avenue when she appealed to them to
protect her.
Geseta, who was badly battered, told
the detectives that three men sprang
out from behind a fence and beat him
without provotation. He was taken to
the receiving hospital, where the police
surgeons stitched several deep lacera-
tions in his lips and nose.
Detective Beaumont, who was de-
tailed on the case, located the three
young men last night and arrested
them on charges of battery. The ac-
cused stated that they were on their
way home when they heard a woman
scream for help. They hurried to the
scene and, according to their story,
Geseta was on the porch of the young
woman's home attempting to grasp her
arm.
The young fellows admitted having
struck Geseta, but declared they did so
in order to prevent him from harmlng
the girl.
The trio probably viii be arraigned
in police court this morning.

WIFE WRITES HUSBAND HE
DESERVES BETTER WOMAN

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Supreme
Court Justice Putnam of Brooklyn re-
served decision yesterday on the ap-
plication for alimony and counsel fee
made by Mrs. discipline Levy, known
in vaudeville as Josephine Davis" In
the divorce suit brought by DR.. Isaac
H. Levy, who resides at Third street
and Second avenue, Manhattan. They
We're married in 1901 and have no chill
dren. After Mrs. Levy returned to the
stage, the plaintiff asserts, he wrote to
her frequently, ASKING her to renounce
her wandering life. In response to one
of these the doctor alleges that he re-
ceived this letter:
"Dear Husband: 1 received both your
welcome letters this morning and con-
tents carefully noted 1 realize all you
say and l can't answer you how feel.
l know you deserve a better woman
than L, and therefore l always told
you the quicker you got rid of me the
better off you would be. However,
you gave me six months, or, rather,
to the end of the season, so let's hope
things will turn out as God wills them.
l wish l could love you in return. AS
it is l could never wish you any harm"
The defendant makes a general de-
NAL of the charges against her and
sets up a counter claim, naming Miss
Nellie Drake and Miss Ethel Daven-
port.

Los ANGELES POLICE
FAVOR WHISTLE SYSTEM
May Adopt Eastern Method of
Controlling Traffic

1t is probable that the whistle meth
cd of controlling traffic in congested
districts in the business section of Los
Angeles will be put into effect. Sew
eral months ago experiments were
made and the results were so satisfac-
tory, it is said. that the council Will
be asked to authorize the permanent
use of the system, which is now used
in many of the larger eastern cities.
Captain Lehnhausen and Sergeant
Butler of the traffic squad are back
of the movement to inaugurate the
new system. They believe that 1t
would minimize crossing accidents and
greatly facilitate the handling of the
crowds at some of the principal street
intersections. Where the whistle sys-
tenn is used one whistle is a signal for
north and southbound cars and Ve-
hicles to cross the intersections and
two whistles the signal for east and
Westbound traffic to cross.

|. A. BOOSTERS TO
RAISE 100000
Convention League Plans to Ex-
cell the Pace Set by East
ern Cities
ORGANIZATION NEEDS FUNDS
M. H. Flint Says Gatherings Can
not Be Secured Without
Spending Money
ORGANIZATION NEEDS FUNDS

After several meetings held to dis
cuss ways for financing the work of
the Convention league, it was decided
at a meeting of the executive commit
tee of the league yesterday to raise at
least 100000 within the next few
weeks for convention purposes
The meeting, which was held at the
chamber of commerce, was largely at
tended. President M. II. Flint who
was largely instrumental In securing
the Shriners and Elks, declared that
funds were needed If Los Angeles was
to keep up with the tremendous pace
set by eastern cities.
mo one loves Los Angeles better
than I do" said he, "but coming into
contact with boosters from other
cities at Chicago recently showed me
that this city must make a strong eff
fort to secure the best national conver-
tions. Other cities are sending brass
bands and special trains to the cities
where convention boosting is to be
done. They make a business of secur-
ing conventions. They realize that
there is no better way OF advertising
a community than to have thousands
of delegates pass several days or weeks
in their city.
Los Angeles has more attractions
and a finer climate than any of the
other cities that are making such an
effort to get these national sessions.
But we must push to the front and
show the rest what we have out here.
Denver Rochester,, Detroit, Atlantic
City New Orleans and a dozen other
places are going after conventions
with tremendous energy. They spend
money to get them.
MUST RAISE MONEY
"It is now up to Los Angeles to
keep up with these cities. We must
have money first of all before we can
even seriously think of having large
convention here"
Secretary Virgins, Louis M Cole, ].
S. Mitchell, F. ]. Zeehandelaar and w.
G. Hutchison spoke along similar lines.
Secretary Virgins said there would
be little difficulty in securing num-
Der Of desirable conventions, provided
there are funds for the entertainment
of the delegates.
1t was reported that representa-
tives of the railroads, hotels and vari-
GUS wholesale associations had ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased
with the plan proposed by the Conven-
ton league for carrying on its work.
Inasmuch as it's directorate and ex
ecutive committee include a strong
representation of practically all the
leading organizations of the city, it
was declared that there will be little
difficulty In getting the pledges from
the business men when the matter is
presented to them.
A feature that is expected to make an
impression upon those who are contin-
ually called upon for donations is that
their subscriptions to tie Convention
league will cover all contributions for
conventions of every nature that are
indorsed by the league. A merchant
who subscribes a definite amount will
be relieved from further opportunities
and he will be assured that the money
will be expended judiciously under the
careful supervision of the executive
heads OF the league.

Thief STEALS DOC;
PURSUERS STUMBLE
Chihuahua Pet Stolen from Santa
Fe Station by Man
Who Can Run

Senior Francisco Alonzo Paquiro, a
noted matador of Tia Juana, is suffer-
ing from a near-broken heart and
bruises and decorations on both knees;
Patrolman T. w. Miller is limping in
a painful manner due to abrasions on
both legs, and an unidentified man is
supremely happy in the possession of
"Chiquita," a diminutive Chihuahua
dog, which was the property of the
bull fighter up to last night.
The almost-tragedy happened at the
Santa Fe depot last night. Senior
Paquiro, who recently filled several
engagements In the arena at Juarez,
Mexico, arrived in Los Angeles on his
way to Tia Juana. He had with him
q full blooded Chihuahua dog, months
old and weighing exactly half pound,
which he purchased in Mexico, paying
$1O0 for the little animal. He wanted
the dog to present to his sweetheart,
who lives in Tia Juana.
After caring for the animal for more
than a week and smuggling it in sleep
ing car berths until he reached this
city, Paquiro suddenly relaxed his Wig
lance for a few minutes while he told
of the wonderful little pet, and placed
the dog on a suit case in the waiting
room at La Grande station.
Paquiro had just placed the dog on
the baggage and was turning to talk
to a friend when a man who had been
standing nearby listening to the con-
versation snatched the dog and dashed
out of the depot.
Paquiro was within two feet Of the
dog at the time and Patrolman Miller
was several feet away. Both gave
chase and followed the man out of the
station and down Santa F'e avenue,
the bull fighter shouting maledictions
in Spanish and the patrolman yelling
for the fugitive to stop.
Both the matador and the policeman
were making fast time Miller was in
the lead and was slowly overtaklng
the thief, who set a pace that would
cause jealousy to rankle. In the heart
of a professional marathon runner,
when Miller stumbled and fell directly
In the path OF Paquiro.
When the men finally became u11-
tangled the thief had disappeared in
the darkness.
In the meantime, DR.. j. A. Foster OF
the Yale Dental company, who saw the
wild chase, hurried after the runners
in his auto and assisted the unfor-
tunate pursuers, The three secured
the neighborhood, but were unable to
find a trace Of the timid dog and its
bold kidnaper.
In making a report of the matter the
patrolnnan laid particular stress on the
fact that the thief "can run very fast
Pauuiro was so perturbed over the
matter that he missed his train He
declares he will not leave the city un-
til he has recovered the present for
his sweetheart.

CITY'S DOG MUZZLING
LAW STILL IN EFFECT

The ordinance requiring that dogs
running at large be muzzled is still in
effect in Los Angeles. An officer Of
the Humane Animal league said yes
terday an impression seemed to pre-
vail that the ordinance had been re-
pealed. Recently the supervisors re-
pealed an ordinance effective in the
county, and it is surmised that this
action caused the belief to spread that
of dogs Is no longer required.
The ordinance is still being enforced
and violators of 1t prosecuted.

Election Returns NearS
Completion

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 14-Deputy

about completed the compiling of the
official figures of the vote cast at the
primary election August 16. There is
only one county-Sonoma-wh has
not fully complied with the instruc-
tions and the law, and in this the to-
tails are given, but in the assembly
and senatorial tickets the precincts
and totals are not entered, thus de-
laying the complete count.
In the general state ticket, however,
the figures are about entered, and the
work of footing the columns Is now
being done.
Up to last night the total vote for
governor, lieutenant governor and as
sociate justice of the supreme court
had been footed, and these figures
show the vote for the second place
upon the ticket fell 24,575 short of that
for governor. The total vote for gov
ernor was 272,211 and that for lieu
tenant governor 247,6S6
Hiram Johnson received a total vote
of 1O1, $685. or 1928 less than the COM
bined vote of Anderson, Curry, STAN
ton and Ellery. His nearest compet-
itor, Curry, was 46,276 votes behind
him.
