DRILLED GOLD COINS ARE IN CIRCULATION Several of the “Doctored” Pieces Are Now in the Possession of Los Angeles Banks. LOS ANGELES, May 11.—Although the authorities have endeavored to keep the matter zecret, it has become known that three handsomely dressed women, ac- companied by a well-dressed man, victim- zed a number of merchants during the flesta by passing upon them “doctored” gold coins. The coins themselves genuine and had not been sweated, but by using a very fine drill and operating from the edges of the coins the gang had honeycombed them with holes and had filled the holes with amalgam to up the weight. The work was that of an expert and only in one of the coins thus far found by the officers did the drill break be easily seen. How is not known, for a number of the coins are known to be yet in general circula- tion, their owners not suspecting that their money is short weight. The banks have received several of the coins, all of them $20 gold pleces, from some of which as much as $5 worth of gold had been extracted. —_——————— WASHINGTON, May 11 templating a change from gold standard. the silver to the DR.

Men Insist Upon Original | Demands With Regard to | “Double-Headers.” Both Sides Are Firm in the Main- tenance of Their Contentions and Serious Trouble Is Likely to Follow. S ST. PAUL, Minn.,, May 11.—The situa- tion on the Great Northern with regard to a strike is to-night regarded as ex- tremely critical. An ultimatum has been | sent by the general committee declining | the concessions offered by General Mans | ager Ward at the conference held between | Ward and the committeemen to-day and | insisting upon the original demands of | the men with regard to “‘double-headers."” | Following the conference yesterday be- | | tween twenty-five association men, not| members of the committee, and General | Manager Ward, at which the latter of-| fered to insert in the agreement be sigied an article pledging the Toad not to run more than 3 per cent of double-head a meeting of the general committ held this morning to consider this proposal. Later the committeemen waited wpon Ward, and after they had an- nounced the result of the vote taken on the system, the general manager renewed the proposition he had made at yester- dey's conference. The vote, which was not announced until late to-day, showed that the men in their claims of almost | a unanimous vote in support of the posi | tion of their committee had not exag- | | gerated. The poll as given out official showed 1199 votes In favor of the com mittee’s demands, while but fifteen votes | were cast In favor of the company’s prop- osition. | After Ward had been advised of the resuit or the ballot and had made his | proposition of 3 per cent double-headers, the men retired to their headquarters and | spent most of the afternoon in discussion of the advisability of accepting or re-| jecting the offer. Shortly after 5 o'clock | it was announced that a reply had been | sent to the general manager reaffirming | the original demands. It is understood | that the committeemen take the ground | that a question of good faith is involved petween the grand officers of their asso- ciation and the management of other | trarscontinental lines that have signed | agreements on the double-header ques- | tion, and if the Great Northern is given | more favorable terms than the other roads, the latter will naturally feel that | they have not been fairly treated. Apparently, both sides are firm In the | maintenance of their respective conten- | tior.s and unless one or the other turns squarely about, serious trouble is likely to follow.

Five hundred Jlaundry workers were locxed out and the District Court granted a sweeping injunc- | tion restraining members of the Waiters and Cooks' Union from interfering with the restaurants that are opening r business with non-union employes.
