the one offered at Mandells was

drawn on the Elida Bank with

feigned illness and that the Por.

them money with which to leave

Horace G. Knowles, Former
Envoy, Suggests an Inter-
national Gold Piece
WOULD BOOST UNITED

An international Pan-American
coin, good" in all countries of North
and South America, is advocated now
by Horace G.. Knowles, former Ameri-
can minister TO Nicaragua. Dominican
Republic and Bolivia. both as a fitting
means TO mark the Panama Pacific
Exposition and afterward as per-
manent means OF furthering the trade
interests OF all the countries.
Mr.. Knowles has developed his idea
to the point of having a suitable coin
designed II is a S. gold piece. with
the inscription in Latin and the de-
nomination marked with the Arabic
numeral 3 and the word dollar, both
of which are known throughout South
America. II is the first coin that
bears the heads OF the male and
female of the human race together,
the former being the forceful Inca
type. representing the earliest govern
ment in this hemisphere. and the lat
ter the classic Columbia of United
States coins. The diverse OF the
coin could bear some design appro-
pirate to the country using IT,
II is contended that the use OF such
coin would popularize our money and
make trade and exchange easier, and
Mr.. Knowles has received encourage
ment from officials of the United
States and Of several South American
countries. One suggestion is that the
United States coin the new So piece
as an official commemorative exposi-
ton issue. and then invite other
countries 10 cooperate to make its
use general.
