from this that there was no coal Of

a sharp attack on detachment Of
federals advancing from Chapultepec

on the roofs OF buildings on Hamburgo

of the artillerymen manning the ten
federal guns located near the British

Heavy fighting was expected early

There was scattering fire throughout

NEW FlvE.cENT COIN
SOMETHING FUNNY
An indian Head on One Side, q etsov
on the 0ther-eoth Peculiar
Drawings.

The 1913 model scent piece will
soon be in general circulation. The
mint at Philadelphia began coming the
new pieces few days ago. According
to descriptions and pictures given in
the eastern press the new coin will be
about as pretty as the funny thing that
passes as IS gold coin designed by
Saint-Guadens and authorized for coin
age by Roosevelt. The latest attempt
at scent design will be a curiosity as
we'll as bit Of legal tender for ex-
change. On the observe is the profile
of head said to be that of an Indian:
on the reverse is something that looks
like buffalo. is intended to represent
a buffalo or bison, but which in fact
looks like an amateur drawing of a
composite steer, lion. goat and ant
hill. If the pictures are faithful repro.
ductions Of the coin it is probable that
the public will take its time becoming
friendly with It. The Indian wears a
couple Of feathers pinned on negligee
fashion, hair braided down the side,
the face in repose; pathetic repose.
On the Indians neck is 1913" and the
base upon which the bison stands is in
scribed "Five Cents Liberty"
United States of America" and "E
Pluribus Unum" are there as usual.
They are the welcome identihcations
Of the real thing noticeable.
However. the stamp Of Uncle Sam
makes the coin as good as gold, and
that is the principal consideration.
The new coin will be in circulation
rs years and cannot be changed before
that time, according to the coinage
laws. Perhaps the public will be ac-
customed to the queerlooking pieces
by that time.
Last year $780, 900 worth Of nickels
were coined in this country. The
coinage officials expect that the de-
mand this year will run between $3,-
100000 and 100000 worth Of nickels.
The demand for the nickel is grow
ing every year and perhaps next years
coinage will be still larger than this
years.

WILL END PRACTICE,
SAYS CAPT. JONES
This Arrest Will Be Lesson to
Young Men, Declares Head
of Naval Gun Shop.

Capt. H. p Jones, commandant of the
navy yard, and superintendent Of the
naval gun shop, in speaking Of the ar
rest of the bookmakers, said today:
Il have been convinced for a long
time that employees of the nav yard
have been operating handbooks on the
races. l made every effort possible.
personally and officially, to break the
practice. but failed. A month and
half ago l put the matter in the hands
of Major Richard Sylvester. superin-
tendent of police, with the request that
he take steps TO bring the men to bar,
responsible for horse race gambling in
the yard. The success of the detec-
dives assigned to the case is more than
satisfactory.
AT first ! was under the impression
that the handbookS were being made
outside the yard with the employees Of
the reservation as patrons. When l
discovered that the handbooks were be-
ing made in the shops of the yards, on
Government time, in violation of law
and to the detriment of the service, l
called in the police.
"A feature of the practice was the
utter decentralization of the large num-
Der of young apprentices who, l am
tcld, placed every dollar they could
raise from day to day on the hand
books. impoverishing their incomes and
creating a lust for money by gambling
that was fast making gamblers of them.
Il feel sure that the arrests made
in the yard yesterday will. at least for
a long time, put stop to the making
of han6books."

Employees of Three ~
Departments Warned

Employees Of the Department of Com

of gambling on horse races or in other
ways, by Chief Clerk G. c. Havenner
of that department.
Amy man caught at such a practice
will be suspended pending the outcome
O.: any charge of gambling preferred
against him" said Mr.. Havenner. so
faI there has been no gambling in the
department which has come under no
tice of the officials"
Chief Clerk Robert Watson, of the
Department of Labor, declares that in
dulgence in games of chance for money
will not be toleratde, and says any en-
plOye found guilty of making bets on
horse races and games Will be punished
severely.
Il do not believe the employees of the
State Department are indulging in such
practices" said Chief Clerk Davis, Of
that branch of the Government. IF
We lind out that any of them are they
will get their deserts, as all forms of
gambling are strictly forbidden"
Weather Bureau employees had better
beware lest they fall into the gambling
habit, too. for Prof. Marvin, the new
chief of the bureau, will see that they
are handled according to law.
IF an employe is charged with gam
bling and proved to be guilty he will
be punished as the law prescribes," said
Prof. Marvin today.

HEADS
APPROVE CRUSADE

Officials of every government depart
ment in the city took occasion to COM
mend the action of the navy yard au-
thorities concerning the crusade against
gamblers in that institution, and or
dered that the rules against the practice
of betting on horse races and other
games of chance be strictly enforced.
Some of these officials even went fur
ther, and ordered that strict espionage
be kept in their particular departments
to catch persons engaging in the prac-
tice of loaning money to fellow-em-
ployes at usurious rates of interest.
Some of the officials declare that en-
ployes will be discharged outright if
caught engaged in the practice Of
handbook making" while others stated
they were prepared to give the police
authorities every assistance to break
up any clandestine practice involving
games Of chance which may possibly be
going on in the departments without
their knowledge. Nearly all of the Of
ficials welcome the police to investigate
and determine whether or not gambling
is in vogue in their respective build
ings and offices. The action of the Navy
Yard authorities has caused a renewal
of vigilance on the part of the offiCialN
in other Governmental departments to
prevent gambling and usurious lending
of money
