POLICE COURT.
Henry Critchfield Held for Trial On
the Burglary Charge.

the Burglary Charge.
Friend Henry: Please let my boy
have the corn you spoke of. will write
during my absence Yours, MAY"
The above is the letter which Judge
Baskin. acting as counsel for Henry
Critchfield, who is accused of attempt
ing to burglarize the house of Willard
Carter at 1923 West Fourth South. pro-
duced at the preliminary hearing at the
police court yesterday, and upon which
he hung the defense of the alleged
burglar. But the evidence against the
accused hominy vendor seemed so
strong and convincing that the letter
was unavailing as defense, and
Critchfield is now under $4,000 bonds,
and will await trial by the district
court.
The circumstances which surround
the alleged burglary are peculiar. Mrs.
Carter at the hearing yesterday claimed
that the attempted burglary of Critch-
field was only one of a series. and that
on former occasion he had been sue
cessful ard robbed her of $175 worth of
clothing and IS in money.
When Critchfield was arrested for
the burglary, a Ratchet, a candle, a
club. a bottle of chIoroform and a red
bandana handkerchief, fashioned into
the form of a mask. were taken from
him. Critchfield denies that he was on
burglary bent. and says he does not re-
member ever having had the red mask
like handkerchief. Another circumstance
which has a peculiar look is the fact
that the boy Carter, by whom Critch-
field expected 10 prove that intimate
relations existed between him and Mrs
Carter, left the city two days ago and
cannot now be found. Mr.. and Mrs
Carter say that he went to Granger
two days ago.
Mrs. Carter either wrote the note pro-
duced by Critchfield. or it is a clever
forgery, for the writing of Mrs. Carter,
TO whom the contents of the note were

THE FALLIN SILVER.

The new phase that has been given to

financial circles. Several questions at

cent election, and on the possible

which country. on Oct, /, 1897, will
adopt the gold standard.
JAPANESE BANKERS VIEWS.
Gojuro Nagasak, special agent for the
Yokohama specie bank in this city. said
in connection with the recent fall of
silver; Had Japan remained a silver
country, there would have been every
chance of her ircurring loss in trading
with gold countries. on account OF the
fluctuations of exchange, and as Japan
FORCES to the, front. the necessity. for
greater facilities for monetary transfer
IS felt. Heretofore the exchange, both
in China and Japan. followed the rise
and fall of silver while now. with the
great fall in the price of silver. China
shows a great falling off in exchange,
whi'a JaDsn remains the same
What effect will the drop in silver
have on the arbitrary value of 30 to l,
already fixed by the japanese govern
ment?'
"A loss is Immediately seen, for at
the ratio CT 50 to l the value of silver
is 29Bd. sterling. Silver is row quoted
al 25%d.. which brings silver to the
ratio Of 36.6 to 1, and shows a loss of
over 10 per sent already to the gov
eminent. but with the amount of silver
and notes in circulation a 10 per cent
loss would hardly serve to embarass a
country with a national currency

could all come at once, which it I'M
doubtedly cannot. The loss. too looks
greater than it actually would prove

age Will be adopted and as they have
stopped issuing silver yen. on being re-
deemed they can be reissued as sub
siGiary coins. care being taken TO issue
only enough to satisfy the requirements
of circulation.
Their silver yen now being so per
cent pure, will serve as bullion for the
reissuing of new coin, nnd the govern
ment has taken a long step in the right
direction by making the gold and sill
Yer coins relatively of the same value,
