States Attorney Charles L. Seafls expressed the opinion that there was nothing that could be said in favor of Breault. Public Defender Charles l.. Torrey, also of Putnam, told the court of Brenult's previous record, how he had served eighteen months st the Cranston, K. L, jail after being con vieted of store and railroad depot breaks in that state. and how he had also done time at Brooklyn jail for his part in Putnam auto theft short while ago.
 In pronouneing sentence Judge Jen- nings termed Breault confirmed criminal and commented that long sentence would give him plenty of lime to meditate on his wrongdoings.

City Court Officials Wanf
 City Charter Amended
Atty. Macdonald Says Pay of Officers Is Inadequate Since
 Prohibition
Merchants Want Brighter Providence
 St.-Ofieers Report

Attorney Archibald Macdonald, representing the officials of the Put nam city court. asked the city eoun- cil at it's meeting Monday evening to consider drafting and approving a bill to increase the salaries of the lawyers conducting the court sessions. Such a bill would have to be passed by the state legislature before it could be made an amendment to the city charter.
 MT. Maedonald who is clerk and deputy judge of the court, emphasiz- ed that the judge, prosecuting at torney and others connected with the court had been given no pay increase since the incorporation of the city Since the eighteenth amendment their duties have increased considerably. and the past year was by far the busiest in the history of the court. Liquor cases make much of the work. and also bring in large fines. The attorney mentioned the large amount which the court assessed in fines dur ing the past year.
 Nigh, Double the Pay
 He declined to suggest any figure, to which the salaries might be raised, but did say that if the pay of the court officials were doubled, they would not be overpaid for their time and work Since the legislature is in session only once every two year MT. Macdonald asked that the council hurry it's action in order that the matter may be brought before the present session.
 The pay of the judge and prose cutting attorney is $500 each per year, and of the deputy judge, $500. The city janiter get S4s0 year.
 On motion of Alderman Rogers. Mayor Chapdelaine appointed a com mittee of four eouneilmen, who with himself will consider the salary in crease, and will also try to get some thing accomplished along the line of revision of the charter and ordinaBe- es. Messrs. Richard, Rogers. Ames and Dubois are on the committee.
 Want More Street Lights
 Fifty-fve merchants of the north end section, for the most part having their business places or homes on Providence street. have signed peti- tion asking for more lights on Pro- videnee street. They wish that light be placed on each pole instead of on every second pole as at present. The street light committee is consider ing the matter.
 A letter from the Chamber of Com merce, in which 1t was suggested that a sign be placed at Miller's corner on Woodstock avenue by which motorists would be guided to Putnam, was dis cussed little before the council vot- ed to place sign. the Chamber to pay half the expense. Why any auto ist, Putnam bound. should go off on the country road at this corner rather than follow the state road was the subject of discussion.
 That the city was very fortunate in the matter of fires during 1924 is the conclusion invariably reached after a perusal of the annual report of Chief Ralph F. Thurston of the fire department. There was an ac- tual fire damage of only S3,200, and a net damage of $500, dedueting in- surance paid. while property endan- gered by fire was worth Sl94 ,S65. The 1923 fire loss was Si60 .000 The department responded to ninety-two

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Artificial Gold.


A Japanese scientist the other day
announced that he had succeeded in
turning mercury into gold. Leaving it
to the chemists to pass upon the cor
rectneSs of the claim, which, Incl
IDENTIFY. has been made by various eX-
perimenters with regard to various
substances from time immemorial, it
may be interesting to discuss the re-
suits upon our financial system of any
discovery which should make 1t COM
mercially possible to manufacture
artificial gold on a large scale.
The first results would be to ruin all
prevailing measures of value. A flood
of man-made gold would impoverish
creditors and enrich debtors. Bond
holders would lose and stockholders
would gain. There would be no change
in real wealth, which consists not in
money, but in goods such as wheat,
corn, cotton, sugar, steel, copper,
leather, lumber and facilities for the
transportation, distribution and manu-
facture of these raw materials into
finished products. There would, how
ever, be redistribution Of wealth with
a ruthless hand
Unless the Government intervened,
and it is difficult to see how it could
successfully intervene, every one de-
pendent upon the income from invest
mentS paying a fixed rate of return
would suffer. institutions with endow-
ments, educational, charitable or re-
1igious, would find themselves sud
denly cut off. Something approaching
these results came about in Germany
with the collapse of the mark. When
the German government endeavored
TO pay it's debts by printing more and
more paper the result was the same
on a smaller scale as would be the
effect of d cheap and easy process for
making artificial gold.

Increases in tonnage orders over
those of the preceding quarter were
received by shipyards of the United

smaller shipbuilding nations. These
however, were more than offset by the
decreases in Great Britain and Ire

Lloyd's Register notes distinct
change in the trend of shipbuilding
orders for steam tonnage continuing
to decrease, while orders for motor
ships show a steady increase. Almost
