40 MILLION SILVER DOLLARS

While many of the bankers
and business houses of the East
say that it can't be done. Secre.
tary of the Treasury Mellon is
putting in circulation about 49,.
600, ,OOO silver dollars to get the
people used to silver money
again. It is not that the com.
mon people will not take silver
in change, but the business peo.
pie are disinclined to handle the
money. During the war and
some time prior thereto silver
and gold circulated rather free.
ly, but the big mass of coined
silver in the treasury, against
which was issued certificates,
had been melted down and ship
ped to Europe. This left prac.
tically no silver in circulation
and people became used to green
backs instead. 1t will no doubt
take time to get back the senti
mental feeling that the people
have deep down in their hearts
and pockets, but it will get there
unless silver is withdrawn. Peo
pie do not care to carry gold but
does anyone believe the coin
would be refused if offered them.

THE COOLIDGE DAM.
FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO COM.
MENCE WORK.

Phoenix - Early construction
of the Coolidge Dam at San Car.
los on thr Gila River is assured
under the provisions of the 10.
terror Bill which passed the Sen
ate Tuesday night. according to
the telegram received by John
r. Towles, Register of the Un
tied States Land Office, from U.
S. Senator Ralph H. Cameron.
| According to the message from
Senator Cameron. the Interior
bill carries an appropriation of
$3.50, COO which becomes availa
BILE Immediately to commence the
construction of the dam. The
bill also carried a further appro.
priation of 100000 for the con
tinuing OF the construction of
the necessary canals for the irri.
cation of the Indian lands in the
Gila Indian reservation at SAGA
ton.
The Interior bill has already
| passed the lower house and fol.
lowing its passage by the Senate,
it went to conference of the two
houses on amendments.
The $3.50. O.OOO aspiration made
for the construction of the Cool
idge Dam which will store water
for the reclamation of approx.
mately $4,000 acres of white
lands and 10000 to $4,000 acres
of Indian lands in the Casa
Grande Florence valley is the
first section of the S., 500, 900 ap
preparation authorized by the
San Carlos bill for the construc
tion of the dam.
The bill was passed by Con.
gress last summer a few days
prior to adjournment. It pro.
vided that the funds to build the
dam are to be appropriated, be.
ginning with a $45O,OOO appro
priation and q continuing appro.
priation of increasing amounts
thereafter until the dam is com
pleted.
1t is expected that the work
of building the dam will be com
menced as soon as possible after
the appropriation is made avail.
able by the signature of Presi.
dent Coolidge to the Interior
bill. According to those in close
touch with the matter, the con
struction' of the dam will be
started at a date in the early
summer of 1925, and be carried
foreward as rapidly as possible
until its completion, which it is
estimated will require between
two and three years.
The appropriation of $1,000
contained in the Interior bill is
for continued work on the later.
ais in the Gila Indian reserva.
ton, where the government is
now engaged in building a di.
version dam near Sacaton. This
dam when completed, with the
lateral to be built with 100000
appropriation, will form a part
of the San Carlos project. The
water for irrigation of these
lands which comprise practically
all of the Indian lands under the
project will be taken from the
Coolidge Dam reservoir when
the dam has been completed.

ROBBER COLLAPSES
AS HE PLEADS GUILTY
Man Who Held Up Restaurant
Reels Into Bailiff's Arms
After Statement.

Hesitaungly entering plea OF
guilty to the robbery of $500 from
Childs' restaurant Tuesday, Frank
Tunnel reeled toward Ralph Given
prosecuting attorney. in Police Court
today and would have fallen out of
his chair had not the strong arm of
bailiff caught him. The incident
took place while the defendant was
being given a preliminary hearing be-
fore Judge George H. Macdonald
Seated alongside of Tunnel was
accessory to the robbery. He pleaded
not guilty.
Il am awfulIy sick" Tunnel stated
to the judge. and after being identified
by Miss Freda Schwartz, cashier OF
Childs', who was on the witness stand.
he was led out of the courtroom to the
dock
At the conclusion of the hearing
during the rest Of which Tunnel was
absent, the court held both men for
the action of the grand jury, and upon
the recommendation of Mr.. Given set
the bonds at $4,000.
Miss Schwartz told the court how
Tunnel had come up to the cashiers
cage, in which she was seated, and
asked to see the manager. in order to
obtain work. She then stated that he
suddenly reached in the window of
the cage and grabbed 26 twenty dollar
bills and dashed through the revolving
doors out into the street.
Detective Frank Alligood. who ar
rested the defendants. stated that he
had noticed the young men looking
through some of the parked automo-
biles on Pennsylvania avenue, and, be-
coming suspicious, followed them.
Near Childs, he said, they seemed to
give each other the high sign" and
separated. Still suspicious, he declar-
ed, he waited outside, near the restau-
rant.
Alligood then told the court that
after about 10 minutes had elapsed he
saw Tunnel bound through the door
and run toward the Willard Hotel, 60
ing up a, side alley near the hostelry.
Upon capturing him, after short
chase, he obtained the address of the
other man. Going to that address he
found Parker coming out with another

NEW D. c. BILL ASKS
INCREASED POWERS
Would Enable Commission
erS to Appoint School and
Other Officials.

Asking for authority TO appoint the
Board of Education, the Board Of
Charities and the recorder Of deeds,
the District Commissioners today pre-
sented to Senator Capper, chairman
or the District committee, Il proposed
Dill TO Increase their power.
The bill consists OF II sections,
nearly all OF which are designed to
give the city heads authority to make
municipal regulations on matters that
now require action by Congress.
The most important section OF the
Dill Is the first one transferring the
power of appointment of the Board
OF Education from the judges of the
District Supreme Court to the Com
missioners.
Transfer Of Power.
The same section transfers the ap-
pointing power over the recorder OF
deeds and members of the Board OF
Charities from the President of the
United States to the Commissioners.
In a letter accompanying the draft
OF the bill, the Commissioners told
Senator Capper this section would re-
lieve the President of the duty of con-
sldering purely local matters, and ex
pressed the belief that the Chief
Executive should no longer be bur-
dened with the task of making these
appointments. The Commissioners
further predicted that the proposed
transfer of appointing power would
foster cooperation between various
agencies of the District Government.
Other Matters Covered.
The other sections of the bill cover
the following matters: Authority to
make license regulations for trades,
professions and vocations, power to
regulate street vending, to make tenn
porary regulations for inaugurations
and large conventions, power to make
reasonable rules relating to fire es-
capes and f1reproofing Of buildings,
authority to remit penalties and In
tereSt on overdue taxes when II Is in
the public interest. power to perform
municipal works by day labor in
cases where the cost will not exceed
$4,000, general authority to widen and
narrow streets and the right to fix the
rates of assessment for sewer and
water mains, sidewalks and Curbs.
Senator Capper already has stated
that he will introduce the measure,
and II probably will be given early
consideration by the District COM
mittee.

Mrs. NJ. v. Domdera, 21s Maryland
avenue northeast, has presented the
Instructive Visiting Nurse Society
with a fully equipped Ford touring
car, which she won in the Castelberg
National Jewelry Co. auto contest
One Of the employees at the jewelry
store, aware that Mrs. Domdera had
a car of her own, told her of the need
of machines In the work Of the nurse s
society and urged her to donate the
machine to them. Having already in
tended to give the prize to some
worthy cause, and after investigating
the work Of the society, she decided
to turn 1t over to nurses. The car will
be delivered Saturday.
Miss Gertrude H. Bowling, director
OF the society, said the car would be
used by the nurse working the out
lying suburbs beyond Soldiers Home.
The nurses in the outlying sections
are greatly handicapped by a lack of
adequate transportation, and the gift
Of a car, she said. Is equivalent to a
third or half of the work that could
be done by an additional nurse.
