WITNESS TELLS OF PROPOSED ATTEMPT
TO GET MILLIONAIRE RICE'S MONEY

New York, Oct. 17.-AIbert t. Patrick
and Charles F. Jones, counsel and
servant for William NJ Rice, were
again before Magistrate Brann today
for the continuation of the examina-
ton of the charge of having forged the
signature to a check for $4,000. drawn
on the banking firm of Swenson &
Sons.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
brought up the affidavit of Walter O.
Wetherbee, a clerk of SwensOn & Sons,
IN which affidavit, Mr.. Wetherbee re-
counts the details of a conversation he
had with Charles F. Jones last Janu-
airy. At that time, the affidavit reports.
Jones proposed a scheme for making
way with the estate of Mr. Rice After
a lengthy argument between counsel,
Magistrate Brann said he would ADMIT
the evidence. Wetherbee said that IN
January last he saw Jones by appoint
ment at Rice's house. and met him by
appointment = second time at his
CWetherbee's) house in Brooklyn, at
which tine Jones told him that Rice
accused the witness of stealing a $1,000
bond. Jones then said to Wetherbee:
Il have proposition to make TO you
Do you know that L have old man
Ricc's will?"
Witness replied that he did not know
the contents of the will, but that he
saw Rice sign it. Jones told WeInerDee
certain portions of the will He SAID
Wetherbee was one of the trustees,
and that the will provided for bequest

of $4,000 to Fred A. Rice and his wife
of Texas, the residue to go to William
M Rice, jr. Jones also named the eX-
ecutOrs, and said that if Wetherbee
would consent to a second will he could
to substitute himself in the new will
for Judge BaTtine, one of the executors
of the old Will Jones said Rice was at
times 'doDey,' and that he could get
him to sign any paper he wanted to-.
Jones, the witness testified, promised to
divide with him if he did as suggested
regarding the drafting of a second will
Wetherbee said he had made an af-
fidavit on March q, which is. in sub
stance, what he related today. On
crosse examination by Mr.. House the
witness said he did not object TO Jones'
proposition at the time it was made,
nor did he tell Mr.. Rice of it, because
he was acting under the advice of
counsel. But when Jones asked him to
draw another will and make Mr.. Cohen
of Texas an executor and substitute
his own name for that of Judge Bar
tine. Wetherbee told Jones he was not
in that kind Of business.
Did Jones intimate to you that he
would forge the Old mans name TO any
paper?'' asked Mr.. House.
NO; he said that when Rice came
out of his dODey condition he could
slip a paper under his hand and he
would sign it.
Mr.. Wetherbee was still on the wit
ness stand when the hearing was sus-
pended for the day.

don bankers, basing their theory -On

say the gold in or on it's way to Amer
lea should enable all the immediate re
QuirementS to be met, and should more
gold be needed the Bank of France is
ready to ship TO the United States. But
it is not believed the Bank of France
will be asked for any large amounts.
These calculations are responsible for
the drop in London discount rate and
the talk of a decreased bank rate. At
the same time, the authorities seem to
believe that the balance of trade will
remain in Americas favor. but that it
will not be drawn in GOLD sterling bills,

The president admitted that the pro-
feSSiOnal element in Europe has so
unloaded itself of American securities
that it cannot meet large obligations
as it used to by the return of American
stocks.

INDIA'S DEMAND FOR A LARGER VOLUME
OF SILVER DISCUSSED BY FINRNCIERS

London, Oct. 17.-At the meeting of
the Chartered Bank of India, Australia
AMI China. today, the president re
ferred to the banks important interests
in the Philippines, and said he viewed
with euuanimity the transfer of the
islands to the United States, as he an
ticipated "AnglO-SaXon vigor would
create a strong government, crush the
rebellion and foster commerce"
Referring to the Indian currency, the
president said the. problem was still
unsOlved. He added that although the
desired steadiness in exchange was
fairly maintained, the supply of ru-
PEGS, in the absence of internal demand
for gold, proved insufficient. and the
authorities were compelled to purchase
nearly 10000 sterling worth of bar
silver during the current year. in order
TO increase the circulation The profit
on this would yield the government a
surplus of a million and a half. But
whether such an adventurous addition
to the revenue was desirable from an.
economic standpoint was debatable.
"FinancierS IN London who have
watched the gold movements in the
United States with keen interest, not
unmixed with anxiety" he continued,

likely to be drawn from England. 1t

Talked Financial Question.
The speaker then took up the curren-
cy question, discussing it from the
standpoint of citizen, pointing out the
danger of allowing private individuals
20 issue the money of the country.
Every great country on earth, in addi-
ton TO coming gold and silver money,
also issues supplemental paper curren-
cy. Why do they do it? Do you think
it is because they have too much gold
and silver? So far as the kind is con-
cerned hold the greenback is the
best.
Here the speaker used two bills to
illustrate his views. The greenback, he
said, first paid government debt of
a year, does $500 worth of work for
the people.
This bill" said the speaker, holding
up $40 national bank note, ''is a
daughter-in-law of a United States
bond, for every dollar of bank note
money is represented by an interest
bearing bond The greenbaek draws no
interest. Which do you prefer? the cur
rency which works and charges no in

speaker declaring for a tariff for reve-
