GALLUP, New Mexico, Oct.
29.-For participating in the
strike of the Gallup coal min
ers, Herbert Benjamin, ma
tional organizer OF the Unemployed
Councils, was seized by the military
authorities, and at a drum head court
martial was sentenced to one year

In the course of his tour for the

speak on the picket lines. The miners
have been on strike for nearly three
months under the leadership of the
National Miners Union.
Benjamin was Immediately arrested
by the militia and placed in the
/, stockade. He escaped the same night
and was recaptured few days later
near the Arizona border. Previously,
Robert Roberts, strike leader, was
court martialsd and given six months
in the penitentiary. Because he
pleaded Tor the unity of employed and
unemployed in Che struggle, and be-
cause of his attempted escape, Ben
jamin was given a heavier sentence.
His trial was conducted in war
fashion. with army officers acting as
the Judges. -.-.~-

Answer Threat to Suppress thu

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-23

terday the seigniorage is 50 per cent, which is to say that the sil- yer miner rendering metal at the treasury receives silver dollars in exchange for half of it. The treas- ury keeps the other half as a coin- ing fee. That is seigniorage.
 If the silver miner received 60 per cent of his silver in dollars and the treasusy kept only 40 per cent, the price of domestic silver for coinage would be increased in that proportion.
 It is against leaks in such future announcements and to safeguard the daily gold price announcement that Senator Thomas, dem., Okla., and others desire protection.
 A leak in the gold price was re- ported fortnight ago when it was discovered that private individuals in London were obtaining the daily quotation several minutes in advance of the official announce ment conveyed by press associa- tions.
 It developed yesterday that sev- eral senators had suspicious that the silver proclamation was pre- to brokers and through them to spectators. Thomas said a broker called him last Sunday with word that the administration was about to act on silver.
 Another senator said that tele- gram received yesterday from Spokane, Wash, reported that brokers there had advance infor- nation of MT Roosevelt's plan and knew that the coinage price would be 64h cents.
 Spectators might have profited either by purchase of silver or a plunge in the stock of mining companies.

fore, save once, when the 26th New England division under the late Major General Clarence R. Edwards was bivouacked on Christ mas day in 1917 in the villages of northern France, have so many New England youths been encamped and never before have so many youths known the environments of New England's forests at Yuletide. , Now, as then, commanding general of the army has exhausted every fort to make this Merry Christmas" for the youths in his command which numbers in strength the same contingent of youths as were grouped in the 26th on Christmas day in 1917. Genrael Edwards had 28,O00 of his "boys in tn mud" at Christmas in France 16 years ago. General Fox Connor's command-his "boys in the woods" as he has been heard to call them -is about as strong.
 General Edwards "boys in the mud" were preparing, on that Christmas day 16 years ago, to enter battle. General Fox Corners "boys their first Shristmas in the conser- NdLlOA COIpSs Ill0 6SNSAIA AAOAIAA VI their march into New England's forests in the greatest peace-time battle the army has fought.
 General Edwards sent word to his commanders, on that Christ mas day, 16 years ago, to excuse from duty as many of his "boys in the mud" as the exigencies of war would permit. General Fox Conner has sent word down to his com manders at the 100 New England forest camps to excuse from work as many of his ''boys in the woods" as this peace-time battle the army and the eco now is fight ing as can be spared.
 General Edwards ordered 50,000 pounds of turkey for the Christmas feast of his "boys in the mud" They feasted on corned beef. Gen eral Connor called for 50,000 pounds ofturkey for his "boys ip the woods" for their Christmas feast and obtained them.
 Scenes have changed but fires are lit at 500 barracks amid the shelter of New England's forests and it will be to the "boys in the woods' as it was to the "boys in the mud" in the villages of north ern France 16 years ago:

FRITN SCHEFF
 GETS EXTENSION
Means to Hold Her Proper ty Located at Hitch-
 cock Lake

Judge Newell Jennings granted Miss Fritzi Scheff a further exten- sion of time in which to redeem her lake Hitchcock property, which is under foreclosure, according to a decision he handed down late yes- terday afternoon.
 The time for redemption Is ex- tended to April 4th. This makes the fourth extension granted the fam ous stage parsonage. The judgment in the amount of $1,598.25 was en- tered last Feb. Sd. The extension was set for SC ond Mon- day of the following Septem- Der. Judge Frank F. McEvoy granted the first extension of Oct 18th. Judge John Richards Booth granted the next extension to Dec. 22nd, at which time, Judge Newell Jennings granted the extension to April End.
 Yesterday, Miss Scheff took the stand to say she had secured an engagement in New York and hop ed to make enough to pay a great part, if not all of the judgment against her. Judge Jennings in his decision states that the property involved is shore property which will be of little advantage to either the plaintiff or defendant at the present time. He said there must be mend to the extensions and that if in April, Miss Scheff has not taken any action on the judgment, a further extension may not be granted.

GIFT LADY HAS
 AGAIN VISITED
 SAN FRANCISCO
For 30 Years She Has Wandered About Streets
 at Christmas Time
By JAMES F. wICK1zER

United Press Stan Correspondent
 San Francisco, Dec 23-(UP)- The Gift Lady"--a 30-year- Christmastide mystery-came back to San Francisco's dark alleys and shabby streets to-day.
 In her gnarled hands she gripped three small bundles. They were Christmas packages. Their wrappers were torn and soiled. The seals and ribbons were old and faded. They were the Christ mas presents destined for.someone 30 years ago. d The Gift Lady's" eyes were dim. Her step was the careful step of the aged. Her clothing. remnant of another century, was worn and patched, Her grey hair struggled from beneath a faded brown bon- nett her thin nose was red from the cold.
 ''No, not here. =, she murmured. That is all. anyone has eyer heard the Gift Lady" say. old timers of the Barhary Coast. Chinatown and the uptown tenderloin do not know her name, for whom she searches, or where she disappears. She is searching, it is said,i for someone-perhaps a son or daugh- ter-who vanished 30 years ago. Into the dusk of early evening walks, searching the narrow and dark downtown streets. She peers into passing faces, anXiously ques- tioning but never saying word. In lay Gomez's Barbary coast saloon and restaurant, she peered into the faces at every table and at the bar.
 "No, not here" she said softly.
 "You look tired, lady,, said Izzy, friend of the downtrodden and weary. Cant I get you little rum and hot water?"
 She shook her head.
 "A little hot tea, then?" N
 The aged "gift lady, drank her tea. Then clutched her soiled packages to her breast, and depart ed.
 For 30 years Izzy has seen her walking the streets at Christmas time. What her name is, Izzy does not know. She only shakes her head at his questions, smiles and walks on.
 ,Patrolman Patrck Walsh has seen her for 20 years.
 They tell me-" Walsh said, "that years before,I walked these streets, others saw her. She only appears at Christmas. She seems to come out of the shadows of evening, and then, after @ few hours, she seems to toddle away, apparently to some hide-away fion1e1on the. other side of town. She's a mystery, that old lady"
