ANCIENT COINS
IN WELL

Hidden fortunes are still being
unearthed in Maryland, according
to ]. P. Shallcross, who lives on
Old Pike, II miles from Baltimore.
While digging at or near the
bottom of an old well in the rear
of his bungalow Mr.. Shallcross's
shovel brought to light 20 coins,
some believed to be more than
300 years old.
The date on one piece, believed
to be gold is barely decipherable
as 1910. While letters and figures
on most of the pieces have been
almost wholly erased by time and
the elements, some are better
preserved than others.
One piece was coined in 1854,
another in 1716 and fourth in
1896.

BUILDING SMALL
BOON To IDLE \

Although there was a large vol
ume of Federal and private build
ing under way here in December,
it was not great enough to re
lieve unemployment conditions to
any appreciable extent, according
to the reports from the Depart
ment of Labor.
Considerable unemployment was
apparent including building
tradesmen, professional and cleri-
cal help and unskilled workers.
However, a large number of per
sons were provided with temper
ary employment in department
stores and postal service during
the holiday period.
Bids will be asked for erection
of five school structures at a
total of $780,000 this month which
will offer some additional en-
ployment when the work is begun.

CHICAGO HUNTS
STRANGLER.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10 GN.SO.
Squads of police today were con-
Quoting a city-wide hunt for the
youth who waylaid Miss Eppie P.
Moss, Al, in a small garage and
strangled her to death. e
Three friends Of the woman
who chased the killer from the
garage said he was q youth Of
about 20.
Doors Are Locked
Miss Balletta D. Morse first
went to the garage when Miss
Moss had been missing for a half
hour. When she reached the gar
age she found the doors locked
from within and failed to receive
an answer to her call. ..
She went for help and returned
with another woman and a man
Together they applied a crowbar
to the door. AS they worked they
suddenly heard a crash as the
slayer dove out a small window.
Breaking into the garabe the
three found Miss Moss body
lying in front of her autOmO-
bile. A sash cord had been
nOOsed about her throat in
several loops and drawn tight.
She had died Of StrangulatiOn,
physicians said.
Clothes Are Torn
The woman's clothing was torn
and there were other indications
of a desperate struggle.
Locks on both doors Of the
garage had been tampered with,
a fact which led the police to the
theory that the murderer had
concealed himself in the garage
with the definite intention Of at
tacking Miss Moss when she
came to get her automobile.

DISASTER SEEN FOR ALASKA R. R,
 IN MONEY CUT

Disaster for the Alaska Rail- road and the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the commerce of the Pacific North west is foreseen by business men of the Northwest in the $5OO,OOO cut in the Alaska Railroads annual budget which has been provided in the general appropriation, ac- eording to Seattle news re- ports.
 Several prominent organiza- tions in the Northwest have started a movement to have the railroads maintenance ap- propriation increased to the normal amount.
 It is reported that by slash Ing the maintenance appropri- ation congress gives no alterna- tive but to double the rates, which will mean an economic hardship to the sections of Alaska which the railroad serves and will cause acute de- pression and tend to destroy the commerce between Alaska and the Northwest.
 At a conference of North west business leaders plans were laid to have all con- organizations bring pressure on their legislatures e- a---"~ ti.~ -re4 VPI I..CIOI Iu- creased.
