GOLD RELEASE HAILED
 AS BOON TO MINING

IS expressed III the mining press over the recent executive order permitting American gold producers to obtain the world market price for their product. The journals are a unit in declaring that the re- suits of the Presidents action are the greatest boon the gold industry has received in years and will result in a wide accel- eration of gold mining activi- ties, particularly in the lower grade mines, wherein the mar gin between production costs and the former fixed price was frequently too slight to war rant operations. With re- turns 50 per cent greater now obtainable, hundreds of these low grade properties are ex- pected to become active. This will in turn result not only in an increase of gold production but what is more vitally inn portant at this time, will pro- vide much additional employ ment in the mining and many other industries associat e d with mining.
 Clearer understanding of the Presidents proclamation re- veals that it does not actually permit free gold exportation in any form. In other words pro- ducers are not permitted to ship gold at will for sale in any obtainable market. All new mined gold must be sold through the agency of the U. s. Treasury or the Federal Reserve banks, by whom it may be sold, for a small hand ling charge, either on the world markets abroad or to domestic consumers of non monetary gold. Under this ruling American refiners ben eft as we'll as producers, since earlier rulings permitted ship ment of concentrates for refin- ing, thus turning over to for eign refiners business that will now go to American refiners.
 Under late rulings of the Treasury consignments of new mined gold intended for sale must contain at least 2 ounces of refined gold and at least two parts of gold in five of as- say. Gold will be received Tn the form of bars, buttons, re- tort Jumps, grains and dust in their native state and free of rock and earth, or nearly so.
 Consignments must be ac- companied by affidavits show ing the source of the gold and when mined. Persons deliver ing gold are required to keep an accurate record of all gold mined or acquired, which must be available for official in spection for at least one year after a consignment is deliv- cred.
 The Treasury will announce

PENNSYLVANIA WILLS
GOVERNMENT S32,O07.92

The Government has been willed
s32 ,007.92 by Pennsylvania man who
did not explain the purpose of the be-
quest. Attorney General Cummings
was notified today by Assistant Solic-
itor General Andrus c. Mclean
The bequest, made by Walter j. Halla-
han Of Delaware County. Pa. merely
directed that the sum of money be
turned over to the United States Treas
ury. Mclean said there was no ex-
planation as to the reason for the pay
ment nor any limitations on its use by
the Government
Accordingly. the Government has de-
cided to accept the donation in the
spirit in which 1t was given" because
Uncle Sam has great need for such
contributions at the present time
A puzzling point about the contribu-
tion was the fact the sum apparently
had been figured out to the exact cent.
The Treasury has a so-called con
science fund" and although there is
no Indication that Hallahan's gift had
anything to do with the dictates Of his
conscience. the money is expected to

GOMPERS STATUE
NEAR COMPLETION
Workmen Threaten Tie-up,
but Bronze Will Be Ready
Saturday.

Despite reports that q new four-hour
day for ironworkers in this city would
tie up erection of the Samuel Gompers
Memorial Monument at Tenth street
and Massachusetts, avenue, which is to
be dedicated Saturday by President
Roosevelt, work at the monument pro-
gressed rapidly today as the huge pieces
OF bronze were hauled into place and
workmen began fitting them together.
The ironworkers at a meeting last
night modified their original four-hour
day arrangement so as to exempt super
intendents and foremen. This. accord
ing to labor leaders, was calculated to
remove the objections raised by some
contractors on private and public jobs
throughout the city.
The Gompers Monument is an i'm

several figures done in bronze The

day with President Roosevelt and

The new four-hour day for iron
workers was inaugurated by the union
itself for the purpose of giving work to
twice as many men. The eight-hour
day was split into. the first shift work.
ing from 7:30 to 1880 am. and the
second from IL noon to pm.
This arrangement has been protested
by some contractors who claim it is
unsatisfactory to interrupt work in the
middle Of the day, changing men. Other
contractors were working the double
shift today
At the Archives Building, on the
site of old Center Market, the two
shifts Of men were on the job today.
They were also working two shifts at
the Department of Justice and the
Government heating plant
At the Post Once Department how
ever, the contractor. claiming that the
interior work required continuous at
tention OF his men, held up the Job
for a single shift. Only nine men
are involved, however.
At the large building to house the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
Department of Labor and the Govern
ment Auditorium the whole job was
still tied up as the result of a jurisdic-
tional dispute between the carpenters
and ironworkers and resultant closing
down of the whole project by the con-

on their return to work.

down hotly, there wasn't cloud in the

Bright red, white and blue bunting
scalloped the entire circle of the upper
facade of the covered stands, and
adorned the boxes, stretching out in

The reserved-seat patrons. as is their
custom, were slow in appearing. safe in
the knowledge that their seats were
waiting. Jim Tierney, secretary of the
Giants. said all the reserved seats had
been sold.
