How the Treasury Statements Were Made to
Show q Big Surplus.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept S.-Treasurer Huston
is considering a new form for presenting
the money debt statement to the public.
He said to-day: The object of the change
from the old form to the present one, adopt
ed under the Cleveland administration, was
to swell the apparent size of the surplus
1t is not fair statement to send out, for by
the system of bookkeeping there carried
out there are good many things put down
as liabilities that should properly belong on
the other side, or, rather, could be very ma
terially reduced. For. example, there
is an item inserted every month as q
liability of several millions of dollars, this
being part of one of the first issues of war
notes. Now it is known as an absolute
fact that millions of these dollars have
been destroyed. torn, burned, worn out, de-
faced, and in other ways made valueless,
and it is positively certain that they will
never be presented for redemption. Prac-
tically speaking. they have ceased to exist,
and yet they are still carried on the state
ment as liabilities that may cause a dis
bursement of funds at any time.
Then, too, there are fully seven millions
of fractional currency still classed as
Liabilities when it is also an absolute cer-
deemed Like the other notes, they have
in large quantities been destroyed or de-
faced beyond recognition. and the remain
der are in private collections as curiosities,
and will undoubtedly remain there. ] am
confident that at least S15.0O0, 600 now
classed in the statement as liabilities might
be erased altogether from the list Yes,
am thinking very seriously of having the
form changed" and the Treasurer set to
work signing checks of the hundred thou
sand size.

General Ben Butler Brings Serious Charge
Against Contractor Strong.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3.-Gen. B. F. Butler,
who was counsel for Samuel Strong in the
latter's well-known suit against the Dis
trict of Columbia for compensation for
work done by direction of the old Board of

an affidavit signed by himself and
his law partner, o. d. Barrett,
accusing his former client of forgery.
After the award made to Strong had
been finally cut down from more than $780,
600 to less than $500 suits were entered
by General Butler and others to obtain
liens upon the award. While Mr. Strong
was under examination before an exam
iner in chancery in the Butler suit, he pro-
duced paper, purporting to have been
signed by General Butler. to the effect that
he tButler) should not receive more than
$4,000 unless the original award of 1924, 79S
was sustained, in which event General But
Ter was to receive $46,549. General Butler
declares that he had never before seen or
heard of the paper, and will ask the court

The wisconsin Bandit Said to Have MUIR
dered Companion Five Years Ago.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. S.-Reimund Holzhey,
the Northwestern traIn-robber, is not
novice in the performance of villainous
crimes. When the Milwaukee & North
western trsin-robbery was first reported the
officials of all the railroads in Wisconsin
and Michigan were furnished with a de-
scription of the robber. Superintendent
Donahue, of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore 81
Western railway. says he knows him. Mr..
Donahue remembered his name as "Hals-
hauer," instead of Holzhey. About five
years ago the Lake Shore purchased of the
st. Paul & Eastern Grand Trunk company
the road-bed of the line running to OcontO
The former company had not paid off it's
men for good while, and, in purchasing
the road, the Lake Shore assumed numer-
Gus sums due the men for grading. The
man who is thought to have been Holzhey
had been employed for short
time. and received the money at
laborers was one who had about $500 due
him, and after the settlement, in company
with Holzhey, he started to walk to Stiles
Shortly afterward the body of the man who
had received 500 was found in the woods

derer and robber. Holzhey disappeared

Demanded as q United States Prisoner.
BEssEMER, Mich, Sept. 3.-The coroner
held an inquest, yesterday. on the body of
Mr.. Fieschbein, of BelleviIle, ILL.,, who was
killed by Holzhey, the stage-rebber. The
jury found a verdict in accordance with
the evidence, and recommended that Holz-
hey be held to the next term of court.
This will begin in October, but complica-
ton has arisen since the inquest. United
States Agent Pulsifer arrived here and
claimed the prisoner on behalf of the
United States. His demand was made on
the superstition based on the prisoners con-
fession that Holzhey robbed the United
States mail on the Wisconsin Central rail-
road. The authorities here will not listen
to this claim. The prosecuting attorney
claims he has certain case against the
murderer, and that he can send him down
for life. On the other hand, it is said that
the killing is manslaughter at the least,
and the possible punishment is limited to
