CABMAA ARRESTED.
He Refused to Show His Badge to
Policeman Wooten.
The Little Lawyer Goes to Court
and Argues for the Driver.

Lawyer Emanuel NJ. Friend left his
office In the Pulitzer Building at a late
hour last night. and wishing to reach
his home soon as possible. engaged
Cabman Patrick Conley, whose coupe
stands In the open space in front OF the
bridge. to drive him uptown.
Mr. Friend stopped the cabby at Sixth
avenue INC Thirtieth Street and stepped
into a nearby cafe. Conley remained by
his coupe for probably fifteen minutes
when Policeman Wooten. of the Thirtieth
street station, came along and demanded
that Conley produce his badge.
Conley refused, saying he wasn't
obliged to do anything of the kind. The
fact was, he did not have the badge, as
the pin was broken and he left II at
home.
The more Wooten insisted, the more
Conley demurred, until finally the police
man placed him under arrest. Conley
appealed to Counsellor Friend. who rea-
soned with the policeman without avail.
and lawyer, cabman and policeman all
went over to the stat!on-house.
Conley was bailed. and appeared in
Jefferson Market Court this morning.
Wooten gave his version. and NANNY
then had his say.
He said the officer acted In an arbi-
trary manner and had inquired sneer-
ingly; How much 'draught, he had"
meaning how strong his influence was
Justice Hogan refused to entertain a
complaint, and the diminutive attorney

TWO BILLS NUMBERED ALIKE.
Henry Miller Can Fix His Own
Price for Them.
Unprecedented Error by the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing.

Henry Miller. OF lO9 East Ninth street,
possesses a curiosity that several OF the
local banks have offered IL large sum
for. The Government would undoubt-
eddy like to have II also. He has two
s. bills issued by the Government for the
Southern National Bank OF this city OF
identically the anne number.
The bills are the ordinary brown-back
bills issued for National banks Of the
series Of 1882. Tho Government number
on each is "R 476. 321,' upon the upper
right-hand corner. Below his In brown
figures is the bank number. $3.50" The
consecutive bank number on the lower
left HAND corner is 1O.SS3.
The bills were printed by the Govern
ment at the Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing. n are signed by the Presi-
dent and cashier OF the bank.
These gentlemen are greatly puzzled
over 1t. The inference at first was that
one was a counterfeit. A close examina-
ton showed 1t was not. The signatures
are also genuine. AS this is probably the
first time that such an error has been
made, the Southern National Bank told
MT. Miller to set 'his own price on the
DIS. and they would purchase. He de-
A nephew OF Mr.. Miller. who is en-
ployed In n downtown house, received
eight fiye-dollar bills, all new, In his
salary. The numbers began at 476, 3l4 and
ran consecutively to 476, 3l9. Then there
were two numbered 476, 321.
Several bank cashiers who were spoken
to on the subject by an Evening World'
reporter. were at n loss to account for
the error. and claimed that one number
must have been omitted, otherwise the
sheets OF paper, on which bills are print
ed would reveal a shortage of one.
