WARNING SIGNALS ARE
 TO SAFEGUARD TRAVEL

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Uniform warning signals are to be placed at all railroad crossings in Pennsyl- vania as part of the public service commission campaign to reduce the number of avoidable accidents. The signals are the standard adopted by the American Railway association and are to be placed 300 feet from crossings. A metal disc is used, "A inches in diameter, with a white field on which are painted the let ters "R R." in black, , inches high and 3A inches wide. Black cross lines and a heavy border serve to draw attention to the sign. They are to be on metal posts five feet from the ground so as to be within the focus of automobile headlights; at night.

CLUB BACKS PLAN
 FOR GOLD BONUS
Continued From Page Two)

in the detection of salting, but it is not unreasonable to suppose that this practice would not be common if the mine operator knew that de- lection would subject him to loss of the bonus privilege Also it may be assumed that the assayer at the mint would, unless extraordinary precautions had been taken, be able to detect such alloys as would be foreign to the legitimate production. Penalties also for salting could be imposed.
 While on the matter of the bonus payment, however, we must, l think. consider a point that does not ap- pear to have been touched upon in Mir. Lawrie's plan, and one which also touches The constitutionality of the whole proceeding If, under the present scheme of mining in this country, the miner were told that with the gold he produced he could not do what he wanted, or sell to whom he pleased, the constitution ality of the act would be in ques- tion. If he could sell where he wanted, there is no doubt that there would spring into being nu- merous raw gold buyers who would buy up much of the gold produced, at a price somewhat smaller than the Government offered, from men who did not wish to wait for the Government returns from the trea' surv and in that case the Govern ment would not get the tax from the trade. To provide against this contingency, I advocate that while the bonus system is in operation al miners be compelled to take out license, a proviso of which shall be that they must sell their gold te the Government and no one else The benefits they would derive from the bonus would incline them tt willing cooperation in this plan and it would be reasonably equita ble if the charge for the license should be placed at figure tha would materially help to meet tho cost of administration of the bonu scheme, say. possibly, s10. Thi plan would insure that the Govern ment would get the total output.
 The agency of excise collection would offer the most difficult prob lem, and the suggestion of Mir. Law rie that probably "a die stamped b! the collector upon the jewelry afte the excise had been paid would b. sufficient safeguard" appears t be entirely too cumbersome, and,
 am afraid, inadequate. I believe i is a fact that a very large portion of the gold jewelry used in thi country is made in stores-I knoV that is the case in Alaska. Penal ties imposed on demonetizatioi would not be adequate. If it is 1; fact that 10 percent of the coinag is demonetized by the trade unde existing conditions, the temptation with an excise of $10 per ounce
The Nenana daily news., 1920-02-28

would be so increased as to serious ly threaten the coinage to a much greater extent To prevent this it would seem that this temptation must be withdrawn entirely, and I know of no reason, although I admit an insurmountable one may. exist, why gold coins should not be with drawn from circulation among the public and used only by the United States treasury and the banks of the country as reserve, during the time the bonus is in effect If this can be done, the collection of the excise is simplifed, as the manu- facturer, being able to get his gold only from the mint, or other gov ernmental agency, pays his tax when he pays S30.67 for his fine gold. Before the bill went into effect steps would have been taken to re- call as much as possible of the coin in circulation. It is fact that gold coinage has very little circula- tion in the East; perhaps 1 am right in my assumption that it's total with drawal is feasible.
 embodied the suggestions con- tained in this letter in telegram I sent few days ago to Delegate Grigsby. and if you should think that any of them merit further con sideration I wish you would confer with him. In addition can only assure you that unless some method is taken by the Government to stimulate gold mining in Interior Alaska the industry will soon be abandoned entirely and this part of the Territory depopulated,

Prospect0rs E Far1nerS Trappers Tourists
 The Nenana district offers Oppor- tunities for prospecting, farming, and trapping that are unequaled in any other section of Alaska
 Gold placers of known value, close to Nenana, are producing annually sub- stantial amounts, and there are scores of streams within the district on which little or no prospecting has been done. These streams, until short time ago almost inaccessible, now easily reached by means of the new Govern ,l, ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon il, will be the scene of much mining ac- tvity.
 HI Farming in the Nenana district has I'M the advantage of growing season fully ten days longer than that of any other section of Interior Alaska. There is much desirable land in the district open to homesteaders, and marketing p0ssi- HI bilites are being expanded steadily. Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana HI and adjacent districts are noted for the fine quality of their fur, and trappers annually bring large numbers of pelts to Nenana and receive for them higher II prices than are obtained for the average furs of other districts.
 Game of all kinds abounds in the Nenana district, there are scores of trout streams easy of access, and the scenic wonders of the district are un- surpassed. The district is the natural gateway to Mt. Mckinley National Park, and close to Nenana may be viewed the largest coal lodges in the world.

HlNKEL MAY BE NEW OWNER OF
 RED SOX CLUB

New York, Feb. GA rumor of some interest for both baseball and boxing had to do with the report that Matt Hinke1, the well known referee of Cleveland, O., had been urged by Ban B. Johnson, President of the American League, to interest himself in the purchase of the Boston Red Sox.
 Of course nobody has said that Harry Frazee wants to sell the Red Sox and retire to the quieter pursuits of e1evating the drama, but Ban Johnson has long cast envious eyes on the Boston club, as it was the first to question his authority as the big Poo-Bah of the league.
 No doubt the President of the American League has tried to inter- est more than one man in the pur- chase of the Boston Club, and as Matt Hinkel is rated as rich even in these days of unusual values, it is quite possible that he was one of those ap- preached in an effort to strengthen

FIVE STARS OF
 REDS SIGN UP
 FOR THIS YEAR

New York, Feb. 6-It may be news to the devotees of Unit and rl1n'' that five of the Cincinnati worlds cham p1ons have signed their contracts and that the remainder is expected to fall into line. For the past few weeks we have been hearing tales of the recall citrant Red tossers. but according to insiders that is all futile talk
 Just at this snowy moment Garry Hermann has safely tucked into his burglar-proof safe the contracts of
 Dutch" Reuther. a rather nifty pitcher in a way. Dutch" as you'll remember, had a lot to do with tanning the White Sox in their ridiculous at tempt to beat the Reds for the world s
 title. Reuther is now enjoying the salubrious climate of California, but will shortly visit the town he made famous by his double victory
 Then there is "Hod" Filler, another
 pretty sweet twirler. who has signiffed his intentions of sticking to the Reds :! this season. Also ttSIin" SaIlee will 1 cling to Garry's pay roll this year. And as for '"Whoa" Bill Raridan, he will not desert Cincinnati for any anything.

BOB MARTIN AND
 TUNNEY MAY BE SIGNED UP SOON

New York, Feb. 6-Though Billy Roche, manager of Gene Tunney, the light heavyweight champion of the A. B. F., and Ray Bronson, who pi- lots the ring affairs of Bob Martin, Inter-Allied heavyweight champion, prefer to wait until boxing is legaliz- ed in New York and arrange a Tun- ney-Martin bout in. Madison Square Garden, the meeting between the two soldier heavyweights may take place sooner in a Jersey ring. Roche and Bronson have been offered such flat tering inducements by Jersey promot- CTS that 1t is pretty certain Tunney and Martin will cross gloves some where on the opposite shore of the Hudson late this month or early in March. Tunney, who showed signs of going stale, Is taking a weeks rest at Lakewood.
 Before Tunney and Martin are will be asked to box Sergeant Ray Smith, who recently was credited with outpointing Martin. Bronson, however, says the reports sent East of Smiths victory over Bob were er- roneous and exhibits clippings from six papers published in the city where the bout was held to back up his as sertions. Four gave the decision to Martin, one paper called the bout a draw and another picked Smith as the winner. Smith and Martin may meet in a return match at Akron, Ohio, on February 23. It will be for fifteen rounds

JACK JOHNSON
 CAN'T GET BOUT
 WITH DEMPSEY

New York, Feb. 6-Jack Johnson, who, according to a, statement made by him yesterday in Mexico City, will sail for New York on board the steamship Monterrey, which is due here the first week in March, ap- pears to be obsessed with the idea that he has a chance for a bout with Dempsey or Carpenter. Johnson declared that he was confident he could arrange matters satisfactorily with the United States District At- torney at Chicago, and would ct once issue a challenge to Demp- sey.
 Johnson has no more chance of a match with Dempsey than Blink McC1oskey. Dempsey, following the example set by Sullivan, has drawn the color line, refusing to box Harry Wills or Joe Jeannette, both of good reputation.
 Therefore, the champion will nos consent to meet Johnson, first on ac- count of his color and secondly be. cause of his unsavory reputation. As a matter of fact, the American public would not tolerate 8 match in which Johnson, a fugitive from justice un- der indictment for violation of ths Mann law, was a principal. Demp. sey may or may not have been $ i draft dodger, but he cannot afford 1 to consider a. match with Johnson. Under the circumstances, if John. ! son desires to do any boxing be will l be compelled to give battle to tn. i formidable Harry Wills or the stil | active Jeannette. Jack Johnson, a. | a pugilistic figure is a faded mem l ory of the past and will not be re i surrected.

YALE SECOND
 TEAM TO PLAY
 GAMES ON WED.

New Haven, Conn.,, Feb. GA unique scheme for expanding football games is under consideration at Yale. Professor Clarence w. Menden, chair man of the Athletic Board of Control, Is in flavor of scheduling rnid-week matches between the second team and some of Yale's rivals among the smaller colleges, Both he and Dr. Al Sharpe, the new athletic director, feel that the plan has two advantages.
 In the first place, it will pring back on the Yale schedule several of the colleges of small size who have re- game with Yale because the match fn the past left their elevens so badly weakened that they could not meet their scehduied rivals for two or three weeks.
 Second, the Yale substitute players are compelled, day atfer day, to meet the varsity in practice, which is pro- tracted and painful idrudgery, of which they become tired before the middle of the season is reached The Yale substitutes will welcome games with the proposed colleges and it is possi- ble that matches might not only be arranged at Yale but on the grounds of the other teams.
 Professor Wendell and Dr. Sharpe would like exceedingly to bring back Wesleyan and Trinity, YaIe's sister Connecticut colleges, to the Eli foot ball schedule, and the proposed plan may result in enrfching the grfdiron for both Yale and these doughty little colleges. Dr. Sharpe has favored in- creasing the Yale football squad in size, last fall expanding it from 75 to 200 members.
 A second eleven strong enongh to meet one of the smaller Eastern col Eages on every Wednesday afternoon of the season could easily be formed, and the Yale athletic board of con- troI will discuss the proposed plan soon.
 Yale has discussed the plaA pro- posed by Professor Fred W. Moore the Harvard graduate manager, of arranging double-h headers Between the varsity team and two small college rivals the same afternoon, but the Idea. has not been favored by the small colleges whom Yale has approached on the matter.

Boxing Fans Want
 To See Patsy Cline
New York scrapper Has Big Reputation and Local En thusiasts Anxious to See How Bogash Will Compare
 With Him In Casino Bout Next Monday

Fans who have followed the doings of the prominent boxers in other cit ies are anxious to see Irish Patsy Cline in action in the show to be held at the Casino next Monday night un- der the auspices of the East End A. c. Cline will meet Louis Be- gash of this city in the star bout Of 12 rounds and the affair has caus- ed considerable comment in local sporting circles.
 Cline is one Of the topnotchers of the country. He has shown his skill in all the big cities and has met the best boys in his class. Cline is of the aggressive type. He doesn't walt for his opponent to lead but wades right in hoping to get the rugged opponent in Bogash. The local boy is less experienced than Cline but has learned a. great deal in his recent bouts throughout Mass achusetts and will make it interest ing for Cline.
 It is 8 long time since Bogash has appeared in this city. He is a member of several athletic clubs here and delegations from those or ganizations will be on hand to root for him Monday night. Bogash hopes to land one of his haymakers and put Cline away for the count.
 The semi-fnal or ten rounds, which will introduce Sapper Cohen of this city and Mickey Travers of this city as principals should be 9 lively bout as both boys are hustlers. Another good mixup will be the eight rounds in which Teddy Fa- bryck of Fairfield, and Young An gelo of Stamford, will mingle. These boys have appeared in other local shows and have always made good. In the opener Young O'Leary of this city, will tackle Young Wallace of New Haven. This is scheduled for six rounds.
 Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven, will be the referee of the evening and Frank Braithwaite will do the announcing. Judging from the amount of talk the show has caused and the number of tickets already sold the crowd on Monday night will be large.

Matt Hinke1 has been identified with boxing in Ohio fsr several years. He has successfully conducted clubs in Cleveland and, besides promoting, has offfciated in the ring as referee. A man of wealth, he sought to put boxing on a high plane because ot the pleasure he got from the sport
 At different times he has been men tioned as compromise referee when il seemed that boxers were about to de clare matches off because of the diff ferences over this question.
