HUGE FEDERAL PROFIT
Wii.shlnKton. Feh. 3 —UP — The two hllllon dollar fedrral Kovern- ment ilcllclt was turned Into a sur¬ plus nr nearly a hllllon dollars and tho Treasury's ready cash ral.sed to four nnd one-hulC hllllon dollars tod.iy when i?ovemm«nt -Dhokki'op- ers entered  the huKo dollar deval-
|%fttlon profit on the Treasury's books.
'• Thu transaction was merely a papei- (jperatlon made possible by the .\dmlnIstratIon'B goUl reservB bill enacted early this week, under which the gold content of the dol¬ lar wns cut by President Koose¬ velt from 25.S grains of Kold nlne- tenths fine to 13 5/21 grains nine- tenths fine.
Dsvsluatlon   Profit
The 8,237 tons of pure gold own¬ ed by the government wero "writ¬ ten up" from the previous value of »4,:12,751,SC4.S3 as carried on the Tre.'isui-y hooks to $7,01S,263.- S25.7n. This was tho extent of tho devaluation decreed by I'rCHldent Koosevelt.
This left a "profit" for tho Treas¬ ury's hooks of $2,S05,512,060.87, which has been entered as govern¬ ment receipts under the title "In¬ crement resultiuB from reduction In  the  weleht  nf  the  gold  doHar."
Only a part of this "profit' how¬ ever, can be used by the government In meeting payrolls, paying relief needs, or various ordinary expendi¬ tures of the government, as l|;2,00o,- 000,000 is appropriated tor a slabil- Izatlon fund under which the admin¬ istration will enter the world money and financial markets to "peg" the dollar nt the new standard of 16 5-21 grains of gold.
I^ntering of the sum on the gov¬ ernment's books, nevertheless, gave the treasury the first substantial surplus since the start ot the de¬ pression and curried Its ready cash to the highest level In hi^<tory, ?4,- 434,713.155, from the $1,500,000,000 previous balance.

Frenchmen See Gold Advantage
Paris, Fob. »—UP—Thrifty Frenchmen boBan a small-scale gold rush to Jewelens' stores to¬ day to take advantage of the American gold price. There was brisk selling ot second hand Jewelry, trinkets and watch case«. all to be put Into the melt¬ ing pot, turned Into barii and sold liver the counters of Ameri¬ can banks at the American rate.
An interesting angle ot the de¬ valuation ot the dollar waa the presence ot hundreds ot French at .Steamship offlces, seeking In¬ formation on excursion rates to the United States. Although only one per cent ot France's'popula¬ tion ever traveled on the ocean, thimsands apparently believe there Is the chance ot n lifetime to travel In America on the 59- cent dollar.

10 GOLD TO U. S.
High Price Finds Liners Sailing With Huge For¬ tunes For Sale In America
PROFITS IN SIGHT
London, Feb. 3.—UP—Tho gold rush to the United States, to take advantage ot the high price ot $35 an ounce ottered by the Roosevelt government, was on In earnest to¬ day.
The liners Reiengarla and Bremen sailed with approximately $34,350,- 000 In gold aboard, loaded at Cher¬ bourg and Southampton. At South¬ ampton approximately $27,150,000 was embarked, mostly from I»ndon, whence it came in five special rail¬ way coaches. The renmlnder arrived by  airplane  from   Amsterdam.
The llerengarla took aboard 280 boxes, each containing tour bars of 400 ounces e.ich. Tho Bremen took 156 boxes All were loaded under the supervision of a heavy armed guanl.
At Cherbourg approximately $7,200,000 was loaded from French sources. Tho lierengaria received !»0 barrels and the Premen 67 barrels.
Price Drops
The price of gold meanwhile was fixed at i:!S shillings threepence, or $33.05 at the sterling lute then pre¬ vailing. Sales' totalled 347 bars, worth api)roxlmately 900,000 pounds or $4,710,000.
Today's gold price was down 85 cents trom yesterday's, nnd was one dollar and fivo cents under the l.'nited States price. lOstlmatlng the cost of shipping the gold, In¬ surance, etc., at 17 cents an ounce, Ihe speculators stand to make a handsome profit.
The gold price here was fixed on the basis of Kiipi)ly and demand. The decrease was attributed to tears that regulations might be adopted In the I'nlted States which would deprive buyers    of    the    ex-

Local Democrats Keyed Up By Reports State Leader Is Teamed With Governor
EARLE ON SLATE
Wealthy Austrian Ambassa¬ dor Said To Be Receptive For Call As A Nominee
BONNIWELL ACTIVE
Democrats ot Luzerne ot all shades and opinions will bo well represented at tho meeting ot the Democratic state committee to be held at Harrlsburg next Saturday. 'Phfl '"•''""lijiiV'ffli hpHdeJ.-h^ Itev- eWe' CoIIeeror'aiundy ariTcounty Commissioner Carroll will control a majority ot the Luzerne committee men and will go along with the plans of State Leader Joseph F. (iuffey as unfolded at the confer¬ ence In Philadelphia the early part ot the week when a ticket was In¬ dorsed, headed by Mr. Ciuftey him¬ self tor United States Senator and Austrian Ambassador George H. Earle ot Philadelphia tor Governor.
There will be vociferous opposi¬ tion, however, to the Guftey slate and from what could be learned In this city last evening Luzerne is likely to provide a good supply of the fireworks. Antl-Guffey leaders ot Luzerne say they will follow the leadership ot Judgo Ponniwell of Philadelphia and Judge Copeland of Westmoreland county, at Saturday's gathering.
As Guffey's plans nre being graduall.v unfolded many Demo¬ crats believe there is a secret agree¬ ment between Democratic Leader Gutfey and Governor PInchot over the senatorship and governorship. Pinchot Kepublicans are most con¬ cerned, ot course, about the for¬ tunes of their leader In his desire to occupy the seat In the United .States Senate now filled by Senator David A. Keed ot Pittsburgh, but they are not unmindful ot the thou¬ sands ot jobs their retainers are tilling un state payrolls.
On the other hand Democratic chieftains are most concerned with the governorship and tliose who play with Gutfey nnd Van Dyke would not weep If I'inehot would reach the Senate ns the result ot an under¬ standing that would make the Austrian ambassador the next gov¬ ernor of Pennsylvania. Strength for this bielf is found In the failure of I'inehot and his cohorts to get be¬ hind any particular candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nom¬ ination.
Democrats who are disturbed by opinions of this kind do not regard Guftey as a serious candidate for the United States senatorship. It has never been a habit of a poli¬ tician in the pusitiun ot chief pat¬ ronage dispenser to place himself at the head of a state ticket In a crucial campaign. And they do not believe Gutfey has any such Inten¬ tion.
What these antl-Ouffeyltes expect Is a PInchot candidacy tor both nominations, but mainly concerned with the Democratic, In u tri¬ angular fight between Guftey, Pin¬ chot and a candidate backed by Bonniwell and Copeland partisans it Is figured that It would not be a great political feat to engineer things us to make it possible for PInchot to capture the Democratic nomination without causing any heartburnings on the part ot Guftey, who, with such vast patronage at his command would have no trouble bringing a ticket out of the prim¬ aries headeil by I'lnchot for United States senator and Geoige H. Earle of Philadelphia for governor. Earle Has Money
Ambas.sador Karle Is a very in¬ deiiendent Democrat. In Philadel¬ phia he has always played with the Independent Republicans. Hut he was heart and soul for Ruosevclt, as was Pinchot. The only difference between  them  was  lack  of courage

Needy Schools
To Be Helped
Harrlsburg, Fa. Feb. 8—UP— In approving a $10,000 grant to the West Brownsville Borough School District today, the State Department ot Publio Instruc¬ tion made the first allocation from tho $5,000,000 fund for financially-distressed school dis¬ tricts.
Other payments from the $3,- 000,000 school relief fund, ap¬ proved by the last session of the State Legislature, will be made as rapidly as possible after in¬ vestigation Into requests, ac¬ cording to Dr. James N. Rule, head of  the department.
More than 500 school districts havo asked for financial assist¬ ance. A survey at the start ot the present year revealed that unpaid teachers' salaries and tuition bills in Pennsylvania totaled about $4,000,000. This figure is believed considerably higher today.
STATE AID FOR
$167,000 Due This Week With $227,000 More To Be Paid Early In March
2 DISTRICTS LOSE
Forty-seven out of forty-nine fourth class school districts of Luzerne county will be enriched by a total ot $167,256.28 either to¬ morrow or Tuesday when the semi¬ annual state appropriation toward teachers' salaries is received trom Harrisburg. Two other districts will see their appropriation with¬ held tor the timo being.
The $167,256.28 to he distributed this week will be augmented by approximately .227.400 the forepart of March, when the fourteen third class districts ot the county receive their semi-annual state subsidy. Approximately $800,000 Is received animally from the state by third and fourth class school districts ot the county.
Avoca borough and Hughestown borough will receive small sums In this week's distribution ot funds be¬ cause of advances grmted by the atate during the term. Avoca has received $13,000 in advance ot its appropriation and Hughestown has received an advjince ot $6,800. In both cases school olliciais petitioned Harrlsburg to make the advance. Two Withheld
In the case ot Pittston Township and I'rlnsle Borough, the state is withholding the appropriation due at tliis time because of ouster cases Involving these municipalities. In both towns teachers have been on strike over non-pavment of salaries and ciasswork has been disrupted for some time. The department of education insists on a straightening out ot ag.iirs hefore the appropria¬ tion Is submitted.
The first half of th3 annual ap¬ propriation to the fourth class dis¬ tricts was received the first p.irt of August and was approximately equal to the disbursement below. Fourth class districts are those hav¬ ing a population of less than 5,000.

Newspapermen who recall tho turbulent days ot John Mitchell's United Mine 'Workers and their battles for recognKlon in 1902 last night drew attention to the appar¬ ent Insttsms* oirhtstoj'y repeating in the tact that signs ot peace have come to the anthracite region with¬ in the past 48 hours through the same distinguished mediator who was credited with paving the way for the cessation of nostllltles 32 years ago—"Father" .T. J. Curran, pastor ot St. Mary'a church.
Although now beyond the three scoro and ten mark and a Mon¬ signor ot the Cathollo church In addition to being pastor of one of the largest parishes in the Scranton diocese, the nationally respected clergyman this week carried directly to tho White House an appeal for federal Intervention in tho mine strike situation that has prevailed for many weeks.
Again   With  A   Roosevelt
And In doing It, Monsignor Cur¬ ran displayed the same energy, de¬ termination and spirit of service to humanity that was In evidence In 1902 when, as pastor of a strug¬ gling parish In East End, he steii- jied into the breach and helped to bring about recognition ot the union.
And In both cases It was to a Roosevelt that "Father" (Curran carried his appeal for action by tlie government that would restore peace and revive Industry in the coal mines. In 1902 the priest ap¬ pealed directly lo Theodore Koose¬ velt. There followed quick action out of wliicli came the formation ot the Anthracite Conciliation Hoard and the beginning of an era ot peace in the hard coal fields. The current developmimt remove's from this board the right to ad¬ judicate miners' complaints and in¬ vests James A. Gorman, tho um¬ pire, with sole authority as a lone arbiter.

Grievance Committee, Hope¬ ful Of Victory After Long Feud, Adopts Resolution
BOYLAN SOUNDS CALL
After hearing wlde.^pread reports that all the demands ot the "new union" will have been met by com¬ pliance with the National Labor Board's ruling on tho submission of grievances. Glen Alden Coal Co. general grievance committee last night met in Union Hall, city, and voiced a public appeal to members to stand behind President Thomas Maloney and his organization. N'o official notice had come from Presl dent Maloney that would Indicate the end of the three-weeks strike but every grievance committee re¬ presentative gave the Impression that their six months' campaign to terminate dilTicuUIes waa nearlng ,a successful end.
The appeal to support President Maloney and the Anthracite Miners was signed by William Moore, W. Kohenskl, William Saxton, John Dynoskl and Z. OstrowskI.
Tho resolution read as follows:
"The Glen Alden Coal Company general grievance committee, with delegates from fourteen workiug collieries present, at a regular meeting In Union Hall on East .Market street, went on record last night to stand behind Tliumas Maloney and his executive board of the United Anthracite Miners of Pennsylvania and Monsignor J. J. Curran, 100 iiercent, due to their untiring effiats in trying to bring peace and harmony and justice to all mine workers in the anthracite region.
"Whereas, we the delegatea of the Glen Alden Coal Company general grievance committee, feeling that everything will be settled satisfac¬ torily to the mine workers and tho public in general,
"Therefore, be it resolved, that wo delegates to the Glen Alden Coal Company general grievance body, having been duly elected to represent the United Anthracite Miners ot Pennsylvania ask the membership to stand loyal with your local officers and await the call ot the convention whicli we feel will be soon."

Executive Iniard mciiibcra of Dis¬ trict 1, United Mine Workers ot America, also Issued a statement yesterday to the mine workers ot Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.

Thomas Maloney, president of the United Anthracite Miners of Pennsylvania, last night issued a call for a special convention here Tuesday when delegates are expected to rescind the general strike order that for three weeks has crippled Luzerne county mining and impaired operations in the Scranton area.
Issuance of the special convention call climaxed the spread of sentiment among tho rank and file of strikers in favor of a return to work whicli came in the wake of action by the National Labor Board in reversing its previous stand and designating James A. Gorman, Anthracte Conciliation Board umpire, as the sole and exclusive authority in deciding miners' grievances.
Predictions that the new union delegates would with¬ draw the strike edict were strengthened last night following favorable reception by Maloney and his colleagues of the new procedure ordered by the National Labor Board to govern conduct of an investigation of complaints by the Conciliation Board.
Recommend Acceptance
New union olliciais readily ad¬ mitted that the rearrangement of procedure met with their apiimval and Intimated that unless unfore¬ seen circumstances develop, will recommend Its acceptance to the special convention that will conveno Tuesday morning, prtrbably in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium on North M.iln  street.

Quick response to the encouraging statements ot new union officers came last night when the Glen Alden Coal Company general griev¬ ance committee adopted a resolution urging the new union membership to rf nialn loyal to their officers and at the same time cxiiresjid the "feeling that everything will be set¬ tled satisfactorily to the mine work¬ ers and the public In general." Walker  Intervened
Rev. Francis J. Haas of Pitts¬ burgh, member of the .National Labor Board: Atty. Frank Walker, Larksviile native and one ot Presi¬ dent Hoosevelt's chief aides, and Monsi.gnor Curran were the guiding geniuses behind the effort that drew the attention ot President Itoosevelt It  learned  last  night.    Intervention
ot the President, although not brought about by direct contact by .Monslgnor Curran, was believed re¬ sponsible tor Friday afternoon's meeting of the National Labor Board at which the new procedure W.IS adopted and Instructions pre- pareil for the Anthracite Concllki- tlon Board.
I'rovosions ot this new arrange¬ ment were inesented it was .said last night, by Fatlier Haas, whose e.x- plantory letter accompanying the In¬ structions stato "the whole spirit of the Instructions Is that the investl- .gatlon Is to he sweeping, funda¬ mental and absolutely Impartial to all parties .at interest."
Maloney In Accord Commenting on the develop¬ ment, I'resident Maloney last night declared, "I am in accord with the National Labor Hoard's proposal but we must lirst liuve a speclflo outline as to how the average mine worker is to go before the board and whether ho shall be entitled to reiiresentation. By that I mean a mine worker with a grievanco who shall bo shy because of fear ur intimld.ition. 1 feel ho should be represented by members of the organization ut which ho Is a mem¬ ber."
Maloney's tears that mine wor' - era would nut be iiermitted tn go Icioro the Conciilition Board ac¬ companied by an ollicer or ac- cedited repn .sent.atlve ot his union were allayed by Monsignor Curran, who declared that the quealiun was uno of minor nature and would b» easily settled. "No intelligent body of men would expect a mino work¬ er unversed In presen'ing a griev- .!.ce to carry his own c.i.-4e before tlio board," Monsignor Curran stated. "In Washington they are anxious to settle this trouble and 1 know that arrangements can b« made to eliminate any fear or ques¬ tion Irr this respect."
Coai operators questioned her* last niglu also expressed the opin¬ ion that there should be no difficul¬ ty encountered as to what Individu¬ als should represent the complain¬ ant mine workers.
