SHOOTING OF ERNEST GREEN
Miss Flagler's Case Inquired Into
by the Grand Jury
Three of the Dead Boys Companions
Examined-Other witnesses Are
TO Be 1nterrogated To-day.

The grand jury yesterday afternoon con-
adhered the case of Miss Elizabeth N. Flag
Ier, daughter of Gen. Flagler, of the Army,
who shot and killed Ernest Green, a twelve
year-old coiored boy, August last.
About twenty witnesses were served with
notices on Tuesday to appear before the
grand jury yesterday morning. These in
cluded the half dozen boys who were with
young Green at the time of the tragedy, Rich
Ird Green and his wife, the boys parents,
Miss Martha Thomas, clerk in the Treas
ury Depa rtneni, and the policeman who ap-
peared at the house after the shooting
Most of the witnesses arrived early yester-
day morning, but the grand jurors did not
begin their examination until about noon.
The examination occupied the remainder of
the afternoon, and il was not thought that a
prescntment, IL one is returned at all, would
Sc handed in to the prosecuting attorney
before today.
Neither Miss FIagier ror her friends ap-
peared before the grand jury, but it is un-
derstood that the statement made by her
before the coroner's jury was placed in the
hands of the investigating body.
The action the grand jury may take is
purely speculative, but there is strong
Impression among those familiar with the
case that an indictment will not follow.
1t is, of course, the province of the grand
Jurors to merely make presentment 10
the District attorney and he then prepares
an indictment. The prosecution has the
entire term of the grand jury in which to
return an Indictment, if he SO desires.
In this case the time would be nearly
three months, the present grand jury hav-
ing been sworn for that period. On the
return Of a presentment, he may make out
an Indictment at any time within that
period.

a number of checks to the American Security
& Trust Company's offices on q street,
where he had them casbed, receiving there
for large sum OF money.
Mr. Brice came out into the street carry
ing the bills between the cover OF oahk
hook in his hand But instead of returning
To his office he went to the West End Ma
tional Bank, on street, where he de-
posted the entire sum drawn from the De-
posit Company. Mr.. Brice then placed the
bank book N his pocket and returned to his
office.
There is no doubt that the whole trans
action had been carefully watched by one
of the burglars, or their allies, and the I'M
preston had been formed that the large
sum of money was intended for use at the
office, and would be deposited in the safe
over night.

street northwest, although the police have
some valuable clews which they are working
on and hope to land the burglars behind the
bars III a short time.
The Job was carefully planned and dar-
ingly executed, but the cracksmen were
evidently frightened at the critical mo-
ment and abandoned their work before
completion.
The burglars effected an entrance through
the basement some time after midnight,
as people residing on the upper floors of the
building did not retire Until after that hour.
A large-sized, clean-cut. neatly drilled
hole was made in the center of the safe on
the right hand side of the combination.
Before dynamite could be used in fore
ing the door apparently it became evident
to the burglars that the noise consequent
upon an explosion would be fatal to their
plaps A hammer was then used inattempt-
ing to break the combination. This, too,
proved futile, and the men seemingly
took a hrrried departure, as the bundle of
papers In which their tools had been
wrapped was left uponthe floor
The only booty secured was an Overcoat
belonging to Mr.. Lipseomb, which hung on
a rack in the rear room. The sudden change
in the weather probably induced the visit
ors to run the risk OF being identified by
stolen wearing apparei.
UNDOUBTEDLY PROFESSIONALS.
The safe which it was sought to force
open is a mediumSized iron one. 1t stood
in the right-hand corner of the front Of

feet of passers-by on the street. There are
no shutters to the. windows, and the only
copcealmcnt was afforded by ordinary win
dow blinds. None but men of long ex-
perjence and undouhted courage would
undertake to work in such a perilous and
exposed locality.

Next year will bring a great season of
travel to Mexico. The Mexican national
exposition, opening April 2, will re-
main in full blast year. Mexico is not
SO hot as many suppose it to be because
the country contains so much elevated
tableland. Travellers have testified that
the climate in summer is not only en-
durable, but even enjoyable. That the
Mexicans themselves find this to he true
is shown by the fact that they open
their great show at the beginning of
warm weather. There is yet much that
is new in the way of travel on their
own continent to be exhausted by the
Woodworking, stay at home American
people. This year will be one of pros
perlty to our agricultural population.
Many of them will find themselves able
next year to visit the Mexican exposi-
tlon. Railroad rates will no doubt be
put within reach of most people Of mod
crate means Our sister republic has
proved that in spite Of being a Latin
American nation she can maintain a
permanent government, and very good
one, meanwhile progressing steadily in
the arts Of peace and civilization. So
let US go to the Mexican exposition next
year. There is no educa ton equal to
travel

A recent dispatch from Foo Chow
China, says that as a result of British
counsels interview with him, the vice.
roy has agreed to execute eighteen more
accused of numbering missionaries, i'm
medately. The concessions are due to
the presence there of five British men of
war. It's nockery of civilization to say
that China can exp1ate the missionary
massacre by numbering few of those
semi. saYages who were duped by her
into participating in it. China might be
willing to make trade like that every
day, until all those foreign missionaries
are out of her way. The above news
contains no assurance that foreigners in
China are to be protected in tho future.

s,witzerland's New Banking System,
i. A revolution in the Swiss method Of
issuing money has taken place. Under
the old system both cantonal and private
banks issued money. There was no gov
eminent restriction on them to speak
of. An association Of private bankers
decided how much paper might be put
upon the country and the members of
that association bowed to the decision.
Hereafter, however, both the canton
al and the private institutions, as banks
Of issue, will be done away. The repub-
lie Of Switzerland, through state bank,
will itself issue all the paper money of
the country. The banks at present in ex-
istence can exchange their bills for those
Of the state bank. They can also at all
times obtain supply of money from
the state bank for the transaction of
their business. The central bank will
rediscount the bills of the other banks.
Thus the banking business will be di-
vided into two distinct branches. The
government bank will issue all the
money and supply currency to the local
banks in return for bills receivable for
discount. A slight charge will be made
for the rediscourting, sufficient to pay
expenses. The local banks will confne
themselves to the other banking trans
actions, such as leaning money, receiv-
ing deposits, etc. If this system were
adopted in the United States, the ma
tional banks would surrender their DOW i.
or of issuing money and the government
would take charge of that, supplying
currency as the banks required it. It is
believed in Switzerland that under this
system the amount Of currency circula-
tion will regulate itself.
