MONEY WEARS OUT QUICKLY
Enormous Wastage Through Clreula-
ton or British Gold and Sll-
yer Coins.

1t is the duty of each loyal subject
OF the British crown not merely to re.
fuse gold coin that is under a certain
weight but to break it.
Every person. the act reads,
shall, by himself or others, cut, break
or deface such coin rendered to him In
payment and the person rendering the
same shall bear the loss"
But In spite Of this act 1t Is a risky
business interfering with coins which
you may suspect to be under weight
or spurious. Some months ago n
Grlmsby woman offered half sov.
ereign In payment of goods to n local
shopkeepcr. The latter put the coin
IN testing machine. and as ii broke
in two. refused to take It,
The coin, however. was pronounced
by experts To he perfectly genuine,
and when the case was taken into a
court of law the shopkeeper was or
dered to refund ten shillings to the
customer.
Money. both gold and silver. wears
out at startling rate. II is reckoned
that there is usually hundred mil
lion pounds I'm gold coin In England, a
very large proportion of which Is
locked In the strong rooms of banks.
Yet or that which Is in active circuln-
ton the wastagc is SO great that dur.
ing every twelve months seventy thou
sand pounds worth OF gold and silver
are rubbed off into fine dust.

NO ACTION YET ON
 TAX COMMISSIONER

It is not considered probable that Gov ernor O'Neal will make the appointment of back tax commissioner of Jefferson county until he returns to Montgomery. He will return either this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
 There was a great deal of campaign ng'' among the applicants yesterday, On account of the activity of certain men strong in the camp of Governor O'Neal in the interest of John w. Altman, present register in chancery, the stock oa that applicant ascended during the days The other candidates seemed con- fdent, however
 Judge E. w. Booker stated that he would be heard from" George c. What ley, who, it is understood, is being seri- uosly considered by the governor was looking after his interests. Judge John Hearst Miller, who is being considered, was another who saw the governor. J. V. Allen was on the scene, also. There are those who consider MT. Allen the strongest candidate in the race.
 It is not believed that the rumor from Montgomery to the effect that w. C. Agee, chairman of the excise commis-\ sion, will be given this appointment, and that J. V. Allen will be made chairman Of the excise seommission,- is true. This rumor caused interesting speculation however. fg..tf
 Some of those close to the governor stil hold to the idea that he will name a man for the office who has not made ap- plication, but who is said to be in a re- captive mood.
 The governor states that he desires to consider carefully before making the ap- pointmeht q hope to select the best man in the county for the Dosition saiu he q have a great many under con sideration."

TORPEDO BOAT
 IN COLLISION

New York, December 2S.-Wireless dispatches received here tonight from the cruiser Salem, which was dis patched today to the rescue of the tor pedo boat destroyer Warrington, re- ported in distress 25 miles northeast of Cape Hatteras, state that the destroy CT was in collision early this morning with a schooner and was badly dam aged. Tie schooner, which was uni dentified, was lost in the darkness and nothing was learned of her fate.
 The Warrington, which with nine other vessels of the Atlantic torpedo fleet, left Charleston yesterday for New York, was being lowed into Hampton Roads tonight by the revenue cutter Ononadaga and was taking in water and settling at the stern.
 Two of the destroyer's crew, J. N. Stanley, chief gunner, and G. w. Hound CT, chief boatswain's mate, were in- jured, the latter seriously, but accord ing to the dispatches were "doing as well as could be expected"
 Norfolk, Va, December 2S--Fifty- six men, the greater part of the crew of the Warrington, tonight are aboard the revenue cutter Onondaga, which raced from Norfolk in response to distress. calls from the torpedo boat destroyer. These sinclude four injured men, but only two names are known-J N. Stanley and G. w. Hounder Stanley has a cut foot, Hounder is severely bruised, while one of the other two has three ribs broken and bruised arm. The latter two were hurt in the small boats, which were dashed against the steel sides of the Warringt as the crew was being transferred.
 According to messages here the l<<~ Al accident about noon today, finding the Warrington anchored, in no immediate danger. The torpedo boats Perkins and Pauldinger, which were coming up the coast behind the Warrington, also were standing by Fiftysix men were trans ferred to the Onondaga from the War rington. Fourteen, including all the of ficers of the vessel remained on the crippled torpedo boat. The water, which has poured through the Assures in the stern, was held in the afterholds by bulkheads.
 At the time of the accident the War rington was eight or ten miles ahead of the other members of the torpedo fleet when the 45 mile gale swept the rough sea over the little vessels.
 Suddenly out of the darkness Ioomed the fIoundering schooner. Before the man on watch could swing the torpedo out of the .schooners Way the latter's nose ranmed the Warrington. Then the schooner scudded off in the darkness be- fore any of the men aroused by the shock could tell whether she was a two or four masted vessel.
 The blow sent the Warrington stagger- ing, all of the crew except those on watch being thrown from their ham, mocSs.
 Stanley was thrown against the aft bulk head and founder was pitched head foremost from his hammock to the steel flooring.

GOMEZ WILL NOT

 Now in San Antonio

Mexico City. December 2s.-Investiga- ton of a rumor which had gained cur rency in the capital that extradition was to be asked for Emilio Vasquez Gomez, former minister of the interior in the De Ia Barra cabinet, brought forth a denial of such intention from the present oe- cupant of that post, Abraham Gonzalez.
 President Madero,'' he said, "has not ceased to have personal sympathies for Vasquez Gomez, and desires that he come to Mexico, even though he should continue in his political career, provid- ing it be conducted with order and with in the law.
 San Antonio, Tex, December 2s-Emilio Vesquez Gomez, who is here as result of his flight from refuge, denied explic- itly that he had planned a revolution against the Mexican government.
 He said the surrender of Gen. Bernardo Reyes and the capture of several of his followers removes the last possibility of counter revolution in Mexico. General Gomez stated emphatically that he is and always has been an opponent of General Reyes. and affirms that to this day he has not spoken to General Reyes or com munioated with him during an interme- diary during the whole time General Reyes was here, although several Mexi- can papers charged him with so doing.
 Discussing the report that the Madero government intended to ask for his eX- tradition at the hands of the United States authorities, Senor Gomez said:
 "They must produce some evidence of a crime, and my life and my official career as minister of the interior are open to critical surveillance. It is through my concurrence in the plan of reform politics, that I admit but that is not ex- tradtable I am waiting here until the country will allow me to come back. Then I shall take up my ordinary pur- suits there"
