COMPANIONS OF NC-4
MET MAN Y TROUBLES
(Assorlnted PreRS Dispatch.)
Galveston, Tex., Jan. 7.—The naval
seaplane NC-4 of trans-Atlantic fame,
which recently visited Galveston on
the last leg of her tour of the United
States sea and Inland waterway" ports
In the interest of recruiting, returned
to her base at Pensacola without mis-
hap but her traveling companies had
misfortunes a plenty.
The NC-4 was accompanied here by
two naval seaplanes, the 836 and (he
S5S. and the destroyer Isabel.
The Isabel broke her propeller in
going tip the channel to Houston and
spent nearly ten days In dry dock
here.
The plane 858, after flying over the
city for several hours, landed at Pier
20. alongside the NC-4. While load-
ing gasoline, in preparation for the
trip to her base, the S5S was com-

of money collected in corporation or
police court during the last year.
Fines In 1919 aggregated more than
$62,000, whereas In ,1918 the total was
only $33,000.
Tills unusual Increase In the num-
ber and amount of fines assessed by
the police court is explained by the
fact a special officer was employed to
follow up speeders whose names and I
addresses were taken by the traffic
officer and who were released on their
own recognizance. Formerly speeders
would give assumed names and wrong
addresses or would fail to appear In
police court. Since the employment
of the special officer ahout 90 per
cent of cases against speeders have
been brought before the court.
The fines collected in the corpora-
tion court tills year will pay approxi-
mately one-third of the total expenses
of the police department for 1919, or
one-half the salaries of all police offi-
cials for the year.

CINTEAL TEXAS'OftEATEST PfcPARTrtENT « .or?E
Washington, Jan. 8.—Demands for
coins of small denominations were so
great last year that the United States
mint was kept busy producing millions
of them, and earned $4,136,777.58
from this part of the operations alone.
The total earnings were $8,369,971.01.
Pennies to the number of 466,859,600
—weighing about 3,200,000 pounds—
were some of the small coins manu-
factured.
The melting of silver dollars Into
bullion also was one of the large
operations of the year. More than
191,000,000 silver dollars were con-
verted Into bullion during the year,
much of this metal being applied to
the sale of 2Q0,000,000 fine ounces
of dollar silver by this government
to Great Britain for use by the gov-
ernment of India. One of the re-
markable features of this work was
the transportation of Hie silver cross
country under -heavy guard. Not a
dollar's worth of silver was lost in
these operations.
One of the innovations by Director
Baker was the establishment of a
mint in Manila, P. I. Complete ma-
chinery for this mint was manufact-
ured in the machine shop of the Phil-
adelphia mint. To meet the great de
mand for coins, general "speed-up"
plans' have been instituted in several
mints, particularly th one in Philadel-
phia. Chief among these Improve-
ments are electrical devoces which
have been of the greatest aid to the
general speed-up program.
While it is not generally known, the
United States mints make coins for
many other countries. Instancing this,
during the year these coins were
made: For Pedu, 29,195 gold 1-pound
blanks, 13,760,000 nickel pieces and
7,000,000 bronze pieces; for Argen-
tina, 47,595,000; for Nicaragua, 100,-
000 nickel pieces and 760,000 bronze
pieces; for Siam, 13,175,000 bronze
pieces, and for the Philippines, 11,-
115,000 silver pieces, 2,000,000 nickel
pieces and 7,600,000 bronze pieces.
Director Baker also has collected
samples of virtually every metjal
awarded by all countries during the
war, and also a collection of war
coins. The French government In par-
ticular presented the government with
a fine collection of medals.
During the last year the mints have
been closed to the public, but this ban
soon will be lifted and visitors invited
to inspect them.
Bill to Stop "Bad" Movies.
(Associated Press Di*i>atch.)
Washington, Jan. 7.—Interstate
transportation of blood and thunder
moving pictu-e films or still pictures
would be prohibited under identical
tills introduced today by Senator
Gore, democrat, Oklahoma, and rep-
resentative Ht rrald, republican, Okla-
homa. Senator Gore said he present-
ed the measure by request. The bill
would effect all picture depicting the
activities of former convicts, bandits,
train robberi or other outlaws. Those
violating its provisions would upon
continuation be subject to flnea of
fiom $5,000 to $10,000 and Imprison-
ment.
Much Money to Be
Spent in Building
Roads During 1920
Washington, Jan. 8.—The greatest
road-building program in the history
of the country is now under way and
will extend throughout the year 1920,
according to David F. Houston, Sec-
retary of Agriculture, In whose depart-
ment Is the federal good roads bu-
reau.
Secretary Houston says road work
has been facilitated and much impet-
us given the good roads movement by
the amendment to the federal aid road
act. These amendments were adop-
ted during the Sixty-fifth Congress,
which was under democratic control.
Discussing the nation-wide cam-
paign for better roads, which are made
possible by federal aid in conjunction
with the states, Secretary Houston
says:
"It is interesting to note that up to
July 1, 1919, state bond Issues aggre-
gating $224,800,000 had been author-
ized and approved by popular vote
and that provision has been made for
voting next year on proposals for the
issuance of additional state road bonds I
to the extent of approximately $$14,-1
000,000. During the present and the'
next fiscal year there will be matte
available lor road improvement at
least one billion dollars. Certainly
few laws, If any, have produced great,
er.'results, either in terms of expendi-
ture for a good purpose or in terms
of helpful legislation and machinery,
than the federal aid road act.
"It seems clear, in the clrcum
stances, that the principal limiting
factors in the 1920 program will be
those of rail transportation for, and
production of, suitable road material,
the contractors' organizations avail-
able, and the labor supply."
Secretary Touston says the 1919 pro-
gram for road building was greater
than any preceding year and was so
great, in fact, that many of the states
must postpone until 1920 the expendi-
ture of federal funds simply because
It is necessary to develop experienced
contracting and engineering organiza-
tions from the stagnant conditions
brought about by the war."
WII.L TAKE BIG MAN TO
PULL MEXICO THROUGH
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
El Paso, Tex., Jan. 7.—It will re-
quire the leadership of the "biggest"
man the people can produce to bring
order out of chaos in Mexico and it is
doubtful if Mexicans can ever work
out their own salvation, according to
United States Senator A. B. Fall of
New Mexico, who spent holidays
In this city and at his home at Three
Rivers, N. M. He is chairman of a
senate sub committee investigating
Mexican affairs andjwhlle here com-
pleted arrangements for opening sub-
committee hearings at San Antonio.
Luis Cabrera, secretary of the tree^
ury in Carranza's cabinet, is the most
brilliant man in Mexico, Senator Fall
believes, but he regrets that Cabrera
Is "not particularly friendly to Ameri-
cans.''
"Mexicans have told me," Senator
Fall said, "that Francisco Villa is the
idol of the Mexican people and that in
no election such as we hold in the
United States he would defeat any
four candidates put up."
"Prosperity talk about Mexico is
largely propaganda," the senator said.
"Mexico's financial condition and her
inability to pay even the interest on
her indebtedness amply proves that."
$30,000,000 For Good Roads.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Stamford, Tex., Jan. 8.—Thirty-six
millions of dollars for good roads was
voted in west Texas counties during
1919, according to figures compiled by
the west Texas chamber of commerce.
This, it is said, represents approxi-
mately 45 per cent of the total road
bond Issue of Texas during the year.
Hist! Happy Near Year,
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Austin, Tex., Jan. 8.—A letter writ-
ten in a strange language which was
received by the governor recently
brought visions of bolshevlkl threats.
It was finally discovered the letter
was written In Bohemian and an old
woman was found who was able to
translate it into German. When trans-
lated from German to English the
letter expressed, with many repeti-
tions and figures of speech, the wish
the governor would have a happy
New Year.

Austin, Tex., Jan. 8.—Timber

many sheep and goats In Travis coun-
ty, in which Is located the Texas cap-
ltol, and the county sheep and goit
men's association lias asked the fed-
eral government to send an expert
trapper to help combat the ravagers.
Tabby Cat a Shop Lifter.
(Associated Press Dispatch.?
San Bernandlno, Cal., Jan. 8.—
"Tootaie," a tabby cat of San Bernan-
dlna has been proved to be a shop-
lifter. She is the pet of a lunchroom
proprietor, and she lives in his lunch
room.
He saw her entering the lunch room
early one morning with a shaving-
brush In her mouth. He watched. She
carefully deposited it In an especially
prepared nest In her own especial
corner. In the "nest" were found
more than a dozen other shaving
brushes.
The owner of a nearby drug store
identified the brushes as his property.
The theory has been advanced that
"Tootsle thought the brushes were
kittens which would account for her
great care In removing them from the
drug store to her "nest."

Secretary Daniels
Urges the U. S. to
Help Naval Militia
Washington, Jan. 8.—Federal aid
for the rehabilitation and maintenance
of state naval militia organisations,
which lost their identity during the
war, has been recommended by Sec-
retary of the Navy Daniels. He urges
that Congress act immediately.
The naval militia was superseded by
the national naval volunteers which,
in turn, were transferred to the naval
reserve force. The act providing for
this transfer had the effect of repeal-
ing the permanent character of the
appropriatfiftw provided in 1914" for—
supplying organisations.
Some of the states are reviving the
naval militia, but there Is no money
with which the navy department can
assist them. The secretary's recom-(
mendatlon is expected to give encour-
agement to these states and result la
a bill providing the funds.
