The town bridge at Milford, Conn.
is a unique memorial of the colonial
history of the place Milford was first
settled by colonists from the old Eng.
lish town OF the same name, and the
bridge, which was built to celebrate
the town birthday, is an exact replica
Of an ancient one in the Milford over
the sea. Every stone in the round
tower is a memorial to some historic
Milfordite. Over the massive door is
the sculptured head of an Indian, sup
posed to be Ansantawae, the chief
who sold the town site to the COL
onists In 1889. The knocker on the
tower door once belonged to the
old house where George Whitfield
preached in 1910. The doorstep is
from the mansion OF Robert Treat.

NOUS Weapon ls Now In q Lon
don Antique Shop.

The famous sword Of Suleiman,
which disappeared from the Turkish
treasury In the reign OF Sultan Abdul
Hamid, is believed to have been sold
to some dealer in antiques in London
or Paris. Tahir Pasha. to whom the
sword was given by Abdul just before
the latter WAS deposed, has told the
Constantinople police that 1t was
buried In subterranean passage in
the Yildiz Kiosk, but he has forgotten
the exact place.
Tahir was favorite OF Abdul, and
the story II that Tahir received the
sword from Abdul, although II be-
longed to the state, as a reward for
espionage. When the constitutional
government supplanted Abdul Hamid
fruitlesS search for the sword was
made. Recently the war minister re-
coived an anonymous letter saying
that the sword was In Tahir Pasha' g
possession. This led to q search OF
Tahir's house. Following Tahir's state
ment that the sword is buried in the
Yildiz Kiosk excavations are being
made In that palace. The police doubt
Tahir's story.
The sword Of Suleiman the Magnif.
cent was one Of the most valuable
relics In the possession OF the Turkish
government. Following a iittle habit
ne had, Abdul Hamld added Il to the
collection Of priceless works Of art

EDITORS NOTE-This is
the first Of several articles
prepared exclusively for this
newspaper by Harold French,
former chemist in the San
Francisco mint, giving the
details of Information sup

Victor Berger has demanded

of the charge that the Taft

turn over to the smelter trust
the governments business of
refining metals for coinage.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-03-04
BY HAROLD FRENCH.

On the first of February I re-
tired voluntarily on fuf'lOugh as
chemist of the San Francisco mint
In order to submit to the judy
ment of the people and their legis-
lative representatives certain in
formation and evidence indicating
the subserviency of executive Of
ficials of the Taft administration
to the Morgan-G uggenheim money
trust.
The United States mints and as
say offices receive gold and silver
bullion to the average value of
$175,000,000 annually. In order
to render these metals fit for coin
age it is necessary to first part and
refine them with acid and cleo
tricity. Nearly one-half of the
bullion which the government pur-
chases comes from the plants of
the Guggenheim Smelter Trust,
where it has been refined until 1t
assays over 992 parts in 1000. At
the mint 1t is further purified by
an "electrolytic" process which
produces bars of metal so fine
that the remaining alloy seldom
exceeds parts in 10000.
The private plants cannot sue
cessfully compete with the federal
efineries. The government does
not make allowance for interest
on the value of the bullion it pur-
|chases, while it's competitors must.
AS this amounts to nearly a mil
lion dollars a year. on the value
of the bullions which the smelter
trust has tied up in it's smelling
and refining processes, it is obvi-
Gus that the government has a
great advantage over the private
buyers of gold and silver.
Not only does the government
frain from charging interest on
the value of the bullion which it
operates upon, but it further en-
courages the producers of precious
metals by refining their crude
bullion at the lowest possible cost.

ranging from 1-2c to &c an ounce,

Vapor Treatment
For Catarrh

The HYOMEI vapor treatment
Is especially recommended in stub
born cases of chronic catarrh of
long standing, but remember that
the inhaler should be used daily
las usual.
This treatment only takes a few
minutes time before going to bed.
Pour a scant teaspoonful of HYO-
MEL into a kitchen bowl of boil
Ing water, cover head and bowl
with towel and breathe for sew
eral minutes the vapor that arises.
You will be surprised at the re-
suits of this treatment; it makes
the head feel fine and clear; you
will sleep better, and that suited
up feeling will gradually disap-
pear.
This method is also used to
break up the worst cold In the
head over night.

Chief Chemist Mindeleff of the
American Smelling & Refining
company went on a tour of the
mints and assay offices.
Economies" followed fast. The
Expiring standpat 61st congress
passedsa bill which was approved
by Taft March 2, 1911, with bare
Ily a whisper of publicity. 1t pro-
vided for the discontinuance of
gold certificates, instead of coin
| in return for bullion. Ostensibly
a measure of economy, its effect
was to save large sums for the
money trust formerly spent each
year for exchange, expressage and
the care and transportation of
Treasure. Also it permitted the
issuance of gold certificates son
trust made bars instead of finer
metal.
Following Mindeleff's tour of
| the minis, all the government re
1ffneries were shut down except the
once still running in San Fran
cisco, which is preparing to close.
Secretary MacVeagh says that
these institutions have been dis
continued in accordance with the
departmental plans of economy.
Andrew admits that the govern
ment can purchase all its bullion
as refined bars from private
plants.

Quoted from the amount paid the
"depositor" for his gold and sill
ver.. Thus, Uncle Sam for 12O
years has protected producers
from the extortions of private
bullion buyers.
Very naturally the smelter trust
regards the government refineries
as an interference with their bust
ness. If they could close these
institutions they could tighten
their grip upon the threats of the
independent miners of this coun-
try, and by raising rates and man
ipulating the melting losses which
are deducted from their exploited
customers, their profits would
amount to millions, while the
mineral industry of this country
would be more completely in the
control of the Guggenheims.
But how could they eliminate
federal competition?
Only through high treasury Of
ficials and with the tacit consent
of President Taft.
