CURTIS Mayor of the City of New Britain B. Herald) D AT MINT Treasury [s Replacing 9,000,000 Coins Sold to British During Sil- ver Famine in War., Washington, June 20.—Coinage of silver dollars has been resumed by the mint after a lapse of seven years, and the work of replacing 270,000,- 000 standard silver dollars taken trom the treasury during the war to sell to Great Britain has been begun. Since late in March, treasury om- clals sald last night, appreximately 20.000,000 silver dollars have been coined. In the wame period corre- sponding amounts of silver certificates were lssued and federal reserve notes and iry certificates securing them were retired. This process, of- ficlals said, would probably continue for the next five years until the treas ury's reserve of silver dollars is back to its prewar basis The mint officials explained, ceased coining silver dollars in 1914, when the supply of metal purchased under the coinage act was exhausted. Fur- there authority to make the dollars was not forthcoming until 1918, when congress passed the Pittman act to enable the sale of melted dollars to England for the relief of the silver tamine in India. Under the terms of the act Direc- tor of the Mint Baker sold to Eng- land 279,000,000 silver dollars, amounting to 208,000,000 ounces of silver, at $1,01 1-2 an ounce plus the market price of the copper content in the dollar. The 1 1-2 cents, Mr. Baker explained last night, paid for the cost of melting and transportation and the cost of recoinage. The work of refilling the hole left in the treasury's vaults, Mr. Baker shid, was now well under way, the niint striking off silver dollars at the rate of about 8,000,000 to 10,- 000,000 a month.

Scores of onlookers scurried to cov- er from revolver and carbine fire opened by three of the men, who re- mained in the automobile which drew up in front of the jewelry shop while the two others smashed the windows and gathered up the booty. The watchman who was guarding the store emptied his revolver at the robbers, but without perceptible effect, and the bandits drove off with their loot, clearing the street' meanwhile with renewed firing.

Lyons of the Brown Palace hotel, Denver, Col., was arrested yesterday by Policeman E rost Furneau of this place and later held in $200 cash bail by Justice Louis 8. Raisig, on a charge of diisorderly conduct. The policeman said that he at- tempted to stop the automobile in which Senator Lyons was riding, be- cause the occupants were noisy. Lyons, according to Furneau, got out of the car, and called the policeman a vile name, and threatened to beat him. Lyons gave his age as 48 and said he was a state committeeman from Denver as well as a state senator. Policeman Furneau did not arrest the three women and the two men who were in the car with Lyons.

When the justice arrived here, Lyons was taken from his cell and arraigned. He gave $200 cash bail for examination on Tuesday. His companions had waited about the lock-up for an hour or so, but were not in court when the state sen- ator wai arraigned. CITY ITEMS. $5 weddings gifts Henry —advt.
