WASHINGTON, May 24.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt can give the coun-
try currency credit initiation
shot in the arm if business lags
through the summer and into the
autumn Of 1894, it was learned to-
day.
He has unused authority from
congress to expand currency and
credit by more than S10,000000.
The proposed silver bill could be
utilized to put almost S1,000,000, 900
more money into circulation.
There is speculation in Washing
ton whether Mr.. Roosevelt would
resort to initiation to bolster prices
against possible slumps. A down.
ward movement would require
drastic action of some kind.
The President overruled some
advisers in limiting 1884 public
works funds to about $500,000,000
When the programw as being draft
ed it was suggested that emergen-
cies in the autumn and early win
ter might demand greater eXpend-
iture. Congress would be in re-
cess. A special relief session would
invite as much trouble as it would
remedy.
Existing inflationary authority
would be ample to meet all require
ments if an emergency should COM

URGES
STATE LIQUOR
Law CHANGES
Declares Curb On Drinking By
Glass Impossible To Enforce
Throughout California.

SACRAMENTO, May "a. Q.P) =
California's liquor laws should be
changed to legalize public con-
sumption by the glass, since pres
ent regulations forbidding such
practice cannot be enforced,
George M. Stout, chief of the di-
vision of liquor enforcement, board
Iof equalization, said today.
After studying widespread vio-
lations and the inability of local
peace officers to curb drinking by
the glass, Stout is convinced the
voters should change the law.
you can't tell man how he
shall drink, whether standing up,
sitting down, out of glass or out
of bottle" Stout said. TITS vir-
tually impossible to dictate to the
public on this. The constitutional
provision against drinking by the
glass has little or no effect on the
desires and appetities of the con-
sumer-no more SO than did the
18th amendment when it was part
of the national constitution.
Consumption of beer, wine and
spurious liquor by the glass now
is being engaged in by a large part
of the public. This should be le-
galized inasmuch as its prohibition
cannot be enforced.
There should be some kind OF
state regulations. These, however
must be decided upon by the voters
to whom several propositions tc
legalize drinking by the glass will
be submitted at the November
election"
Hotel men have sponsored one
proposition, which would legalize
open serving of liquor in hotels,
cafes, restaurants and bona fide
clubs. Another proposition would
remove nearly all restrictions per-
mitting the open serving of liquor
over the bar. Reports reaching
here indicated three or four addi-
tional proposals will be submitted.

pei the administration to exceed
its 1884 budgeted expenditures. The
authority lies in the Thomas
amendment passed by congress in
April 1888.
Given Authority
The amendment gave to Mr..
Roosevelt permissive authority to:
l. Expand federal reserve credit
by purchase of $1,000 00O,0 900 of out
standing federal bonds.
2. Issue a maximum of $3,000,-
100000 of treasury notes green
backs).
3. Reduce the gold content of the
dollar by so per cent.
A. Fix ratio between gold and
silver and order free coinage of
the latter
The treasury notes and the bond
purchase feature account for So
000,000,000 of potential initiation.
Thomas estimated that remonetiz-
alton and free coinage of silver
would approximately double money
in circulation, adding upwards of
$4,000,0O 900 to the initiation limit
Large scale bond purchases were
undertaken for several months af-
ter enactment of the Thomas
amendment. About 100000 of
bonds were acquired.
The President also has authority
to clip another 10 cents in gold
from the dollar.

TOLEDO MOB
BREAKS OUT
IN VIOLENCE
Soldiers Use Rifles And Bayo-

Curb Roting.
SITUATION Is SERIOUS
National Guard Officer Orders
Shoot To Kill If Further On
slaughts Made.

TOLEDO, May "a. Q.P)-Two meu
were shot to death and probably
dozen were wounded today when
national guardsmen patrolling the
Electric Auto-Lite plant fired vol
ley of rifle bullets into the ranks Of
rioting strikers.
One of the dead was identified as
Frank Hubay, 81.
The gunfire came after beleag-
uered militiamen had fought witt.

sallies of strikers who have beseiged
the big plant for more than SO hours.
This is just warning" one Of
ficer shouted as the rifle shots rang
out. Hereafter We'll fire lower ard
right into the midst of any crowd
attempting further disorder
Officers of the guard evidently
had instructed the troops, most Of
them youthrui, 20 fire above the
heads of the crowd. 1t was not until
the warning had been voiced that It
was discovered that the rifle bullets
had found their marks.
A tremendous shout of protest
| and anguish rang out from the
crowd of rioters when they saw one
| of their comeradss fall. They bera.-
ed the soldiers, scattering as they
| yelled.
Six persons had been injured
two of them militiamen-in the SER
les of brushes which preceded the
shooting. Flying gas shells struck
two men in the head, almost blow
ing away the face of one man. Sew
eral guardsmen sustained bruises
! and cuts from bricks and stones
hurled by the strikers.
The rioters retreated after the
| rifle fire, but soon formed again
short distance away and appeared
ready to make another attempt to
storm the gates of the embattled
plant, which already was sham
bles as a result of the barrage Of
bricks and stones hurled against it.
Major Na;pn Cannon issued ar
order that his troops were to fire
again if necessary to protect their
| own lives.
After the shooting there was

| A drenching rain, coming short
ly before dawn, combined with
word that troops were enroute to
the scene, scattered most of the

The keynote of the convention
was expressed at the opening meet
ing by William E. Kennedy, Po-
mona, president of the organiza-
tion. He pleaded for sound and
stable monetary system and a set
tied economy policy.
"We have the right to ask of the
government a determination on in
ternal and external affairs. both
political and economic, instead of
uncertainty, experimentation and
business unsettlement, Kennedy
said.
He denied charges that Califor-
mia banks are net extending loans
and are thereby retarding business
recovery. The association heac
struck at wholesale criticism OF
banks and bankers during the de-

NAVY PLANES
BRING ND To
STRICKEN MAN

BALBOA, C. T., May "a. U.P) -
Two navy surgeons and coura-
geous young wife stood today beside
William A. Robinson in Tagus Cove,
Galapagos Islands, and watched the
horizon for a wiSp of smoke that
would tell them the destroyer Hale,
believed to be his only hope for
life, was nearing.
Pending the destroyer's arrival in
the wake of their seaplanes, the sur
geons could seek only to alleviate
the pain from acute appendicitis
which convulsed the body of the
round the world American yachts
man.
So grave was his condition that
they dared not operate under emer-
gency conditions. They decided he
must be taken aboard the Hale and
raced to GorgaS hospital, Canal
Zone. They believed the appendix
was ruptured and general periton-
it's had set in.
1t was planned that the Hale
should pause only long enough to
dump fuel for the seaplanes' return
trip here, take Robinson aboard, and
start back to the Canal Zone on its
most dramatic voyage.
Mrs. Robinson, daughter of the
late Richard T. Crane multimillion-
aire Chicago manufacturer, planned
tC accompany her husband on the
970 mile dash.

m. (EDT) last night after fight

two surgeons had arrived at Tagus
Cove last night. The surgeons, Lieut..

and Lieut.. Oscar d. Marlborough, re-

The Greatest Privilege Of Christmas
(By BRUCE CATION

Perhaps the incest thing about Christmas Is that
it gives u.s. once more the priceless opportunity OF
watching human being experience one Of the very
rarest Of all thrlls-the discovery Of reality which
lives up to all expectations.
That, of course, is what happens when you watch
youngster taking his first peek at the tree and the
presents on Christmas morning. The light that
shines on the childs face at that moment is glow
ing bit Of proof that in WHILE ct least, life
can live up to Its fair promises.
Lite doesn't do that very often once you leave
childhood. And although child has no especial rea-
son to surmise that painful fact, those delightful
weeks Just before Christmas are always tinged with
Just faint shade Of doubt.
There will be fine gifts Of course and lots Of fun.
and all that-but the heart Of childhood Is pretty
cautious In the back Of the youngsters mind there
is always that unspoken fear that maybe, this year.

That fear. it should be added has nothing to do
with tho amount Of money the parents can spend

The chld's anxiety goes farther than that. It Is
more like first faint glimmering Of that dreadful
suspicion of the worlds inherent codness which only
adults really achieve.
So Is We say, the younsster takes that first look
at the tree and the gifts with just the shadow Of
lurking doubt. Then there into the eyes that

and unalloyed happiness Life. for once, is living up
to its advance notices.
