PLAN TO INCREASE BULLION
Government Authorities Would Melt
Silver Dollars Now SSred

NEW YORK, Jan, &c. - Government
authorities are at work ON legislation
authorizing the melting of loOUOO,o""
silver dollars now stored in the Treas
ury to supply silver bullion Tor the
American Government and its AIlics ana
tu pay trade balances.
This will involve the 81 and 81 silver
certificates outstanding and these viii
bo withdrawn from circulation in an
amount equal to the number Of SILVER
dollars melted. Ii is planned to replace
the silver certificates with Federal lic-
serve notes of like denominations
Silver quotations had advanced to APP
pruNimately nincty-onr cents an "u"co
last week. but have been declining since
the announcement Of the PROPOSAL 20
release large amount OF the metal
through the melting plan. Legislation
now drafted would authorize the action
contemplated in connection with the pro-
gram for Government domination or the
silver market, and i'm addition would
emrower the Treasury, through Director
of the Mint Baker to buy all the silver
produced i'm the United states at "a price
to be determined by agreement with
the producers,
This figure is expected To- be about
81 Der ounce, the best opinion being
that it will be placed above the present
quotations in the open market in order
to stimulate production 10 about lOO,-
100000 ounces during the coming year

The only urgent need for clerical work.

To avoid the expense and disappoint-

\ MOST PROMISING MOVEMENT
FOR RICHMOND.

For years tho Associated Charities
OF Richmond has been unable to rem
der the needed help to colorcd pco-
pie. There is no prospect of more
help from that source. But many
white and colored people feel that
the present neglect of the colored
people is ineXcusaDlc. They have
formed an organization known as the
Community House for Colorcd Peo-
pie. Judge II cks is President OF the
Board, DR.. w. II. Hughes, Secretary,
DR.. G. RI. Hoycy. Chairman Of the
Executive Committee. Many lead
ing colorcd people are taking interest
in 1t.
The white people will give at the
very least, dollar for dollar, for what
the colorcd people will raise to start
the work. a budget Of $4,000 IS
planned for the first year for charity
and welfare work. We must seize
this opportunity to start a work
which will have the confidence and
support Of both white and colored
people.
If we can rasie s. 900 this month,
tho white people will give us the
same at least. A committee consist
