WHITE DOLLARS ARE SCARCE
Uncle Sam Will Not Now Take Gold in
Exchange for liver.


1, may be an astonishing statement to
say that the United States Government
refuses to accept gold of its own coinage
in exchange for silver dollars. but that
is what at least one sub-treaSurer is ac-
s.lly doing. The complaint comes from
ST. Louis, where the sub-treasurer de-
clines to exchange silver dollars except
for silver certificates. Neither gold nor
bank notes viii tempt the white coins
from his vaults. II is quite possible for
the United States treasury to reach a
point where general order will be is
sued to all sub-treasurers forbiddiDg them
to exchange silver dollars for 60 i, ma
tional bank notes or any other form Of
currency except silver certificates.
Uncle Sam presents the remarkable
spectacle Of trying TO get rid of gold and
Of boarding silver. The treasury stock
of fractional silver is down TO S3, 45G 500.
and there is no law for buying any more
bullion for this coinage. Government
officials fear the entire stock of small
silver will be called into circulation be-
fore Congress can take action to meet the
great demand

Great Enmtty Towards Uim--state-

New York, February % Harry Cornish
on the witness stand at the Adams in
quest today, accused Roland b. Molineux
of having sent him the bromo seltzer.
Every since Cornish first testified In the
case he has been asking to be re called,
opening of the inquiry he had not Finished
giving his testimony and since thon many
statements had been made by other wit .
nesses which seemingly contradicted whnt
he had sworn to. The court room was
crowded, but Cornish's statements did
not create much OF q sensation. His story
was that he thought Molineux had sent
him the poison because he was tho ouIy
man who had shown great enmity to-
wards him; that Molineux had lied about
him and prosecuted him; that he bad lied
about Others In the club; that there was
enmity between Barnet and Molineux
and that Molineux had started stories
about members of the knickerbocker
Athletic club. Witness stated that
Molineux, being In rival club was
jealous OF him. He declared that the
coroner must search the athletic clubs Of
New York city for the murderer of Mrs.
Adams. He suspected Molineux of hav.
ing sent Kutuow powders to Barnet. He
testified that Mrs. Molineux's statement
that she had never been In Barnet's room
alone, was false. He knew OF person
who had seen Mrs. Molineux and Barnet
drinking wine In the latter's rom when
no other person was present. Witness
stated that Molineux was HIS bitter enc.
my and the only man he knew OF who
should have motive for wishing to take
his life.
Cornish was very earnest in testify ing
and oontradicted much that he said when
he was first examined by the coroner.
Cornish was asked several times TO give
the names of men who had told the stories
that he repeated about Moiineux. He
said that he could not remember them
all, but that he had no doubt these men
would come forward and substantiate
his story as soon as they heard he had
told 1t. He talked rapidly and at tiiuss
the jury could hardly follow him.
The other testimony given today was
without special new features.
