SUPREME CHIEF
GOLDEN EAGLES
VISITS CASTLE
HOMER M. EDWARDS TAKEN
ON MOTORCYCLE, AND ALSO
ENJOYS FISHING TRIP IN
WATERS OF KEY WEST

Homer NJ. Edwards, supreme
chief of the knights of. Golden
Eagle, who arrived in Key West
Saturday, paid his official visit
to joint meeting of the different
orders on Saturday evening at the
lodge hall, where a very enjoyable
evening was spent.
The meeting was opened with
an address by Thos. E. Roberts,
deputy supreme chief, with the
address of welcome being given
by Ross G. Sawyer. Agusto Aguero
gave an address as representa-
tive of the Cuban lodge.
Other speakers were Charles H.
Ketchum and C. r. Carrero, the
former presenting the supreme
chief with a fountain pen. The
program included recitations by
Miss Edith Russell and Miss Alec
Curry and three selections by the
Knights of the Golden Eagle
Drum and Bugle Corps.
To these, Mr.. Edwards re-
sponded with an excellent talk,
which dealt with the principles
of the order which re rep
resents, also referring to many
other things toward the welfare
of the organization.
On Saturday afternoon the visi-
tor was taken on a motorcade
through the streets of the city, and
also out on the boulevard and
over portion of the Oversee
Highway. He stated that he was
much pleased with the sights
taken in during the ride.
Yesterday he was taken on a
fishing trip, and he expressed
great delight at the pleasure af-
forded in the outing, having been
successful in making a large
catch which consisted of some of
the choicest fish to be found in
these waters.
There is a '.believe it or not"
phase connected with the fishing
excursion, that has happened only
on the rarest occasions and only
in waters where fish are as num-
erous as. they are in the vicinity
of Key West.
A big barracuda struck the line
being held by Mrs. Mary Cruz. Inn
mediately afterwards the supreme
chief felt a tug at his line. Both
anglers began to reel in their lines
and when the fish was brought to
the surface, it was found that it
had the hooks of the lines of Mrs.
Cruz and Mr.. Edwards firmly inn
bedded, one on either side of the
mouth.
This was where the visitor got
the big thrill out of the fishing
trip, and said that whenever he
would tell the story he would al
ways think of Ripley and realize
that never are incidents and hap
penings so strange as when they
are true.
In the party were Mrs. Mary
Cruz, Mrs. Mamie Russell and
daughter, Miss Edith Russell;
Homer M. Edwards, Ross G. Saw
yer, William Camalier, o. NJ. Car
zero, Ricardo Roche, Captain f. r.
j. Sawyer, John w. Sawyer and
Harry II. Baker.
Mr.. Edwards left on the train
yesterday afternoon, and just be-
fore departing, stated that he
hoped that he would soon have
another opportunity to visit Key
West inasmuch as. he had
thoroughly enjoyed his sojourn
here.

Realism is added to some of the
new valentines by the use of cloth
or lace trimmings, but simplicity
is the chief characteristic of illus
trations and embellishments. Moth
ing modern has replaced the staple
decorative devices of hearts and
flowers.
Inscriptions vary in style from
undergraduate slang to the vernac-
ular of the mid-Victorians, puns
holding their own against all COM
petition. "Will You Be My Valen-
tine?" seems to be the question of
the hour, with personal touches
in valentines directed to variety
of people from wives to bachelor
girls"

THOMAS PROPOSES
U. S. Mine CONTROL
Socialist Leader Urges Federal
Ownership Of Coal Properties
to Stabilize Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FRANKFORT, H., January 21.-Nor-
man Thomas, Socialist candidate for
President in the last general election,
yesterday advocated Federal ownership
of coal mines and mining property as a
means Of stabilizing the industry in an
address before 500 miners and their
families, who packed small dance hall
here.
Purchase Of the mines, the Socialist
leader said, could be made through
bonds to be matured at the end Of 80
years and the bonds to be retired
through q tax on coal, an inheritance
tax on the bonds and q capital tax on
the Issues. p,
Questioned as to what position the
Socialist party held on the mine union
controversy In Illinois, which in the
last year has resulted In the death Of
eight persons and injury to q score Of
others, Thomas replied:
81 am speaking on socialism; miners
can settle their own controversy"
He criticized yesterday the action OF
the authorities in sending troops 10 the
Taylorville mine area, where several
weeks ago four persons were killed and
many wounded in factional fight be-

value. There Is no legal money in the
transaction.
In Hawarden, Iowa, the city govern
ment paid out $500 in scrip to the un-
employed for road work. On the back
Of each note were SO squares. Before
each transaction the holder of the
money had to fix Scent stamp, pur-
chasable from the local government,
before the money could pass.
When the money had been used SO
times, 1t could be redeemed for 81 In
legal currency from the city govern
ment, the extra charge being for costs.
II all the $500 turned over SO times,
it would accomplish $10,800 worth of
business.
Here there was no barter, but pos
dble extension Of the movement, sug-
gested by Baker, would be to add
Hawarden's stamps to the barter tokens
as used in Inwood. This gives the
money double value-in goods, and in
legal money. It could be exchanged at
any time in full value for goods, and
after year in legal money If fully
stamped.
The National Development Associa-
ton In Salt Lake City, Utah, has one
Of the largest Of the barter movements.
It uses plain barter scrip, without
stamps, and does an estimated $40, 900
month business. Scrip also Is used
in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where Arthur
Morgan, president Of Antioch College,
has organized an exchange which has
in circulation about 81 900 in scrip.

SPECIAL TARIFFS
+ URGED BY SMELL
Would Fix Rates According
to Currency Depreciation
in Exporting Country.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
At . conference today with President
Hoover, Representative Smell, House mi.
nority leader, said he had proposed q
resolution to empower the Secretary Of
the Treasury to raise tariffs In propor-
ton to depreciation Of the currency Of
the exporting country.
Smell told newspaper men the question
would be placed before q caucus Of
House Republicans next Wednesday.
II have had more letters on this SUBJ
ject than any other" Smell said, every
one wants to know why Congress re-
fuses to act to make tariffs on the books
already effective. Some countries, with
currency deprecated by 90 per cent, are
flooding this country with goods despite
the tariff"
The New Yorker said he believed
Mr.. Hoover was in entire sympathy
with the move.
Smell proposes . resolution giving
authority to the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, In collecting customs. to take into
consideration the value Of the currency
Of the country from which the import
comes and increase the duty In pro-
portion to the difference between that
currency and the dollar.
Smell conceded this proposal would
give q great deal Of authority to the
Secretary Of the Treasury, and said
he would not insist upon this method
If some other could be found to obtain
the same effect.

M Unemployed America is making
new 'money"-not silver

Of Jacob Baker. operations director of
About $50 groups are formally organ
lied to facilitate this swapping which
has sprung from the crossroads to the
status Of q real aid to the unemployed.
IN their further development, Baker
and others interested In barter's ex-
tension envisage the possibility Of Ma
tionwide interchange of goods-and
possibly the use of the moneys" of the
various exchanges among themselves to
aid the process. Other economists
doubt the system will reach much be-
yond local boundaries.
Many Of the $50 exchanges already
are using scrip, other tokens, either to
represent the goods themselves, or with

special stamps sold for cash.

Senators Glass Of Virginia and Walsh
Of Montana and Norman H. Davis,
American delegate to the Geneva Arms
Conference, stood out today as candi-
dates for important cabinet posts, fol-
lowing conference Of these three men
with President-elect Roosevelt yesterday.
Mr.. Roosevelt is known, to have dis
cussed cabinet prospects with the three
and others before he resumed his
southward journey. The incoming
President plans to give much Of his
time at Warm Springs, Ga, to con-
sideration Of the cabinet which will
gu1ce the Government during the next
four years.
A definite impression was gained by
Mr. Roosevelt's intimates here that II
they are willing, Glass may become
Secretary Of the Treasury, Walsh the
AttorneN General and Davis Secretary
Of State.
Significance was attached to the
fact that Davis participated In Mr..
RooseVelt's conference with President
Hoover on the British war debt. It
Will be the next Secretary Of State
who will guide the American policy
during these negotiations.
Glass Acceptance Seen.
At one time it was indicated that
Senator Glass, who for time, headed
the Treasury in the Wilson Admin
istration, preferred to remain In the
Senate. Associates understand, how
ever that if Mr.. Rooeevelt desires him
to handle the Governments financial
affairs again he will accept.
Walsh told newspaper men he had
discussed cabinet selections with Mr..
Roosevelt, but declined to discuss
whether he had been offered the At
torney Generalship. He smiled broadly
when questioned and said, "Of course T
can't discuss such matters" Previously
the Montanan, who presided over the
Democratic National Convention that
nominated Roosevelt indicated he pre-
ferred to remain In the Senate.
The appointment Of Daniel J. Tobin
OF Indianapolis as Secretary of Labor
was urged on Mr.. Roosevelt by william
Green and Matthew Vol, president and
vice president OF the American Fedora
tton Of Labor. Tobin is president Of
the Transfers Union.
Shirley is Mentioned.
Associates of Mr. Roosevelt affirmed
the general belief that James A. Farley,
chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee, would become Postmaster
General They also suggested that
Swager Shirley, formerly Representa-
tive from Kentucky and chairman of
the House Appropriations Committee.
had been rendered the position Of
director of the Budget Bureau, and
that Daniel C. Roper Of this city had
been offered the post of director Of
Internal Revenue. Roper was director
Of the bureau in the last Democratic
administration.
Talk about w. II. Woodin Of New
York. president of the American Car
and Foundry Co., as Secretary Of Com
merce was revived. Woodin is accom-
panying Mr.. Roosevelt's party on its
visit to Muscle Shoals.
The name of James NJ Thomson,

Possibility Of currency imitation at

mote today as President-elect Roosevelt
remained non-committal following in
terviews yesterday with imitation advo-
Gates.
Senator Wheeler. Montana, Democrat,
said remonetization Of silver was among
subjects he discussed with Mr.. Roose-
welt, but reported the Democratic chief
tain had not committed himself"
From the House went leaders Of the
unofficial Farm Forum to acquaint Mr..
Roosevelt with their objectives, which
give f1rst-row place to imitation. They
were Representatives Summers and
Buchanan of Texas, McClintic of Okla
homa, Busby Of Mississippi, Andlin of
Louisiana and Arnold Of Illinois, al
Democrats.
No Definite Word.
Thirty members of the forum have
indorsed Busby's bill for $4,000, ,000, 900
imitation through the issuance Of Fed
eral Reserve notes backed by Govern
ment bonds. But though they men
toned it both to Mr.. Roosevelt and his
economic adviser, Prof. Raymond Moley,
this Democratic group brought back no
definite word.
Meanwhile, the Busby bill seemed
locked for the session In the Ways and
Means Committee. with Representative
Rainey, the Democratic leader, again
affirming there Is no chance Of infla-
ton this session."
Busby had wanted his bill transferred
to the Banking Committee, but the
powerful revenue group refused.
I'VE decided that 1t was properly be-
fore our committee and should be con-
sidered In connection with tax legisla-
ton at the special session." Rainey said
Still Hope for Action.
NonetheleSS, the drive continued on
Capitol Hill for obtaining quick action
under the new Administration.
Chairman Steagall Of the House
Banking Committee said his group would
consider soon his bill for q billion dollar
issue Of Treasury notes supported by
Government bonds and the remonetiza-
ton Of silver. Steagall described his
plan, which would establish the policy
Of using as money all the silver pro-
duced In the United States, as ian ef-
fort to expand along sound and con.
servative lines"
Representative somers, Democrat. Of
New York, chairman Of the House Coin
age Committee, also was drafting new
silver bill for the gradual remonetiza-
ton Of that metal on strictly domestic
basis which would not rely upon foreign
action to become effective.
