A LIVE WIRE
SUGGESTION

Abolish the gates" said a
Hammond man this afternoon,
"and make the crossings safe for
traffic. Put a reliable watchman
at every crossing. Make him
stand there. Give him police
powers with orders to arrest
autoists who do not stop or slow
up when they come to a crossing.
Do away with these cripples who
sit with cronies in the shanties
while the public is In danger.
This grade crossing slaughter has
got to stop. How many more peo-
pie are the authorities going TO
permit the railroads to kill?"

members of the Board. who in turn elect
the officers of the Board.
While Capt. Oysters resignation came
with startling unexpectedness, 1t created
far more regret than surprise. Capt.
Oyster had repeatedly announced his de-
sire TO retire, and had retained the office
only because he was made to feel by
other members of the Board and by citi-
zens generally that his services were
needed.
Capt. Oyster Explains.
In a letter addressed TO members of
the Board he stated:
My withdrawal from the Board has
been under contemplation for some time.
yet until recently I have felt there were
some problems before us in the solution
of which l should have a share. which
constrained me to remain. At this time,
however. the affairs of the Board and of
the schools are fortunately in such ia
vorable condition that my absence will
affect no vital interest"
Capt Oyster has been a member Of the

teachers and other employees of the
schools he has won much affection and
respect, and the news of his resignation
was received with general regret.

GOLD BASIS SYSTEM.
Nicaragua in Future to Use Cor
dOba as Unit.

Minister Weitzel. at Managua. cabled
the State Department yesterday that the
new currency system, by which Nicara-
guam money is now on a gold basis. went
into effect Monday without confusion and
under most favorable circumstances. The
unit of the new currency is the cordoba,
equal to one dollar of 100 cents.
One effect of the reformed currency
will be TO bring about equalization of
customs dues at Atlantic and Pacific
ports. Owing to the previous f1uctuation
in the rate of exchange between the pape-
money of the country and the United
States gold. the customs rates on the
two coasts OF Nicaragua have differed
widely. The dues are now payable in
cordObas instead of pesos.
Currency reform has been one OF the
results of the interest American bank
ers have been taking in Nicaragua since
1903 when Zelayas dictatorship was end
ed. Heretofore, the paper dollar of Nj
caragua has been worth only four or
six cents in American gold.
