Don't DefaCe U. S. Coins.

The Treasury Department at
Washington has sent out instruc-
tons to the Secret Service Bureau
to see that the federal statute re-
garding the DETACHMENT of coins is
enforced and parties guilty punish
ed.
The great majority of people is
not aware of this law. The law ap-
plies only to those who commit the
act and not to the wearers. but
many of our jewelers. are liable to
come in contact with the law as a
result. The tendency to stamp
monograms, make watch fObs
bangles and other forms of jewelry
out of gold and silver coins is said
to be growing and the Government
has decided to stop the practice. Sc
it will be well to heed this adnoni
ton. Do not deface U. S. coins.

PETERSEN DENIES
SUSPECTS ARREST
Captain Says No Dynamiters
Have Been Captured in
Oakland

OAKLAND, Dec. 22.-Captain of De-
tectives w. ]. Petersen denied today
that he had arrested two men con-
nected with the dynamiting of the Los
Angeles Times building, as had been
published
Several days ago, L. c. Cook and
John Dwyer were taken to police head
quarters, interviewed by Captain Peter
sen and released after being detained
two hours Petersen said today:
Il had no evidence to connect either
man with the Los Angeles crime They
were discharged and. in view of the
facts, I had no right to brand them as
dynamite suspects. The matter was
dropped. When inquiry was made, be-
fore this story was published concern
ing the men, I said that the men were
not dynamiters, that they had been
discharged days ago and that the de-
partment was not doing anything un-
usual in the Times case. Any other
statement attributed to me is garbled
and untrue.
THE only move we have made for
weeks has been occasionally to detain
for investigation one or two men by
way of elimination. So far as the re-
ported mysterious movements of De-
tective Emigh are concerned, he was
sent to Los Angeles to bring back
Hans Anderson. a prisoner there who is
wanted in Oakland for forgery.
