FREAS STYER
On Work Of the Philadelphia Mint


THE Philadelphia Mint now is running
L nt full time in the coinage Of sivct
dollars and will continue for some time to
come in this occupation. which would be a
pleasant one TO most people. says FreaS
Styer, the newly appointed superintendent
of the place in Philadelphia where money
is ''made' faster than any other place in
the country.
''T'hc coinage of silver dollars said Mr..
Stycr, "has been urged by the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Director Of the
Mint in Washington. and tho Mint Of Phil
adelrhn as we'll as the other Mints arc
husily engaged in carrying out those dircc-
tiOnS. or course, there is a small propor-
tion of subsidiary coins Cthose of less than
81 in valucl being turned out. but the work
at pre"nt is almost altogether confined to
the coinage Of the silver dollars.
"Thc Secretary Of the Treasury has n
definite reason for this large coinage of the
dollar. As soon as they arc coined. which
is being done rndcr the authorization of the
Pttman act. passed some time ago, they will
be used for the retirement of certain notes
bearing interest at per cent. these notes
being ordinarily issued for the purpose of
stimulating circulation. These silver dol
lars will in time take the place Of the notes.
and the interest on the notes will be thus
saved.
I'VE are going ahead at practically full
time in the coinage of this money. Outside
of the small amount of subsidiary silver

Bell to Be Protected From Fire.
An Era Of By.Produots
BY GEORGE NOX MCCAIN

THE gambling privileges OF Philadelphia
l. are worth $1,000, 600 a year to the sys-
tenor owners.
That is. when the lid is off aud protection
is assured from all police interference.
This includes all gambling ganies--rou-
lctte. faro. stud and dice, as well as policy
and the poolrooins.
One gambler who. some years ago, was
the go between between the professional
fraternity and those who guaranteed police
protection, had an income Of STOO, 900 a
year.
lie received a commission Of per cent
on every dollar that was handled in any
gambling proposition, no matter what kind,
in the city.
lie died. after years of luxurious spcnd.
ing, not long since in comparative poverty,
a charge upon his daughter, | am told
IL seems incredible that such vast sums
should be involved in the manipulation of
but one phase of the underworld life Of
this city.
And this does not include money dis
bursed by systematized social vice and H.
licit drug sales.
WHEN unrestricted and syndicate gam.
w bling prevails in PHILADELPHIA Il Is n
highly organized and carefully conducted
system.
The heads employ a select company Of
spies. spoilers. clerks. collectors and ac-
countants to protect their interests.
Money for all purposes flows like water
The income justifics it. Conditions. when
everything is wide open. demand 1t.
Two noted gamblers in Philadelphia are
rcputcd to be worth 81 ,00O, 900 each They
are the exception.
Very few professional gamblers arc able
TO save money or care to- Easy come, easy
go.
When police protection is withdrawn the
small fry live hand to mouth existence.
Gambling Is only lucrative to its promo
ters when it Is operated as n system. It
cannot be systcmatzed unless it is pro-
tectcd.
Protection means that the eyes Of police
officials have been closed by pastcrs Of
grccnbacks.
Don't you think your figures are high?"
asked the individual who furnished me
the information.
Not for city Of 1000. 900 people" was
