COINS MONEY IN US.
 FOR USE IN MEXICO
Currency to Pay 2000 PeOns on Von Hoffman Ranch Is Made of Aluminium

Unable to get silver from the Mex ican banks, Albert Won Hoffmann, president of the National Telephone Directory company, who owns a large coffee plantation near Xuchil Mex, is having his own money made in St. Louis by the Adams Stamp and Seal company hays the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 Silver money Is not to be had in Mexico" said Won Hoffmann yesterday '"rhe peons do not understand checks, so it is absolutely necessary that they be paid in coin. I am having my own money made with the consent of the governor of the state of Vera Cruz, in which my coffee plantation is located. Later I will redeem the coins, the same as I would checks"
 Tuesday Won Hoffmann expects to ship s20,00O of his money to the Mex ican plantation. where it will be used In paying the 200 peons on his employ inent The money is made of alum mum and bears the following inscrip- tion: "El Xuchil, Est Yer Az von Hoffmann." It is made in pieces of 50 cents. 25 cents, 12 cents and cents
 Von Hoffmann has just returned to St. Louis from a six weeks trip through Mexico. He declares conditions are even worse than they have been painted in press dispatches.
 Banks Nearly Bankrupt
 All the banks in Mexico are nearly bankrupt" said Won Hoffman. silver is unobtainable. No matter how large an account you may have in Mex ican bank, you are not allowed to draw out more than $50 week, and that is paid in bills. The government .orees everyone to accept government currency, but none of the business houses will give change for a bill. In all restaurants will be seen signs noti- lying patrons that no change Is given. Unless you have the proper amount Of change to pay your bill you will not be served.
 "ThA government is unable to get silver with which to pay it's employees. Orders have now been issued that all money orders for less. than $5 shall

be paid in stamps. Anything above that is paid in bills.
 "The revolution in Mexico is merely a fight for the control of the govern nlcnt The peons are not interested. They say they will have to pay their taxes no matter who wins. They are not interested in the revolution one way or the other. I have one man on my ranch who has been drafted into both Huerta's and the rebel armies He served twice with the federal forces and once with the rebels. He deserted each time as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
 "The Mexican peon has only one idea, and that is to get drunk as often as possible. When they are under the Influence of liquor they commit the most\ horribe atrocities imaginable.
 Little Real Fighting
 "'There is little real fighting. between the federal and rebel armies, because there is no patriotism among the sol diers. They always begin firing when they get within five miles of the enemy and either one side or the other runs. All those who are killed are killed aft CT being taken prisoners.
 There is mistaken idea that the Mexicans hate all Americans. I have not found that to be true. We have not been molested on our plantations. We were visited by the rebels. They took all the arms obtainable. but paid

 Anyhow. indications are that per manent appointment of chief of police for the city of Birmingham. Ala, will not be made by the city commission CTS before at least another month or six weeks,
 As, to what those indications are lit tie can be said They exist, however beyond semblance of doubt and how true they are remains to be seen.
 It nas now been two months since Chief of Police George H. Bodeker was discharged from that office for alleged incompetency by the commissioners.
 In that time long list of men of high character undisputed ability and integrity have applied for the posi- ton Petitions signed by large num- bers of leading citizens of the town have been submitted sto the commis- sioners in behalf of any one of several applicants The commissioners have held repeated conferences over the po- lice Slludllon
 The commissioners admit that con ditions of crime, lawlessness and dis order in general are no better now than during George Bodekers terms as chief of police.
 From their action in diseharglng Bodeller they admit that conditions then were very bad.
 Not only the commissioners but every citizen who keep up with affairs knows that since Bodeker was discharged thugs have "beat up" victims in all sections Of the city and robbed them, pockets have been picked gamblers have gambled, lewd women have pros pered. train. bandits have staged a few specialties and houses in all sections of the city have been robbed In oth- CT words the same old general reputa- ton of bad Birmingham has not sui fered through the attention of the com missioners to the police department

for them, as they did also for the food that was taken from our store.
 Virtually, every American witl large interest in Mexico, with whom D talked, heartily approved of PresideHk Wilson's waiting policy. They were op- posed, however, to the lifting of the embargo on arms at this late date. They felt that it should have been lifted months ago.
 No one can predict what will be the future of Mexico. If Villa succeeds in overthrowing Huerta. the United States government will be in a peculiar situation. Villa will never allow Car ranza to become President. Instead, he will hold the presidency himself.
 The United States government, which refused to recognize Huerta. be- cause he secured the presidency by torce will hardly be able to recognize Villa. a bandit of 30 years standing.
 Within the next three months I pre- dict Villa will force the United States 10 take some action possibly intervene. lis conduct toward foreigners will force action. Last year he caused to be executed 100 Chinese in Torreon. Had he men been of any other nationality she United States would have inter vened before now. Should he win the revolution he will execute all Spaniards and the United States win be forced to act"

of St. Louis, under date of June 3.
Just prior to that date, President Will

just before the President expressed
his views on the trust program, it
was announced that Mr.. Simmons had
declined the appointment.
White House officials emphatically
denied that the Simmons letter had
to do with the declination of the ap-

he offered Mr. Simmons the place.
The Presidents declaration and the
publication of the letters created a
