Gold COINAGE
Not in Sight

Q.N.SD Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgentau today foresaw no
immediate prospects of free gold
coinage in the United States.
At his press conference, he was
asked to comment on the proposal
Of the American Mining Congress
that gold coined and redeemable
gold certificates be allowed to go
back into circulation. The con-
gresS expressed fear that in view
of the fact that the United States
now owned $14, ,625, 900, 900 of gold,
well over half the worlds visible
supply, other nations may dis
card this metal as the foundation
Of monetary systems.
Under the present gold stat
utes, no monetary gold is permit
ted in private hands in this
country.
Morgenthau observed that in
his recent request to Congress for
continuation Of existing monetary
statutes, there is no contemplation
of permitting gold coinage.

charged in court that she had not
deserted her husband, but had
left at the request of political lead
ers, who asked her to do so in the
interest of his campaign for the
presidential nomination.
AWARDED ALIMONY
Later when she sought to return,
she charged, he refused to send
her money, asserting he was "too

coup his losses.
After the divorce was granted,
Mrs. France was awarded $500 a
month alimony. Only last month
she sought to have him held in
contempt of court for alleged non
payment Of the money.

Zimmerman, 81.
THREE PLEAS DENIED
The governor refused to inter
vene in the cases Of Joseph
OLoughlin, %; Arthur Friedman
81, and Dominick Guariglia, IS.
That trio will pay the supreme
penalty for the holdup-murder Of
Detective Michael Foley in April
1898.
There is no doubt of the
guilt of Friedman, Guariglia, and
OLoughlin," the governor said.
mo facts have been presented
to me which, in my opinion,
would justify the exercise Of
executive clemency in the case
Of these three men.
"The case Of the other two
men are by no means so clear,
particularly as they appear to
have been convicted largely on
the testimony of two accom-
plices, Cooperman and Rose.
NOT INDICTED
"These two accomplices, ap-
parently in consideration of teS-
timony which they would give at
the trial, were not indicted for
any crime whatsoever"
