MURDERER OF LITTLE LOUISE FROST

Denver, Colo, Nov. 12.-Sheriff Free
man of Lincoln county came to Denver
today, and after a lengthy interview
with Preston Porter and his two sons,
negroes under arrest here, announced
his belief that John Porter is the muir
derer of Louise Frost at Limon. The
sheriff, on coming out of the cell, said:
Il am convinced that John Porter is
the man who murdered Louise Frost,
after subjecting her to the most re
voting indignities. Before Porter and
his father and brother left LimOn Sat
urday they burned "A quantity of cloth
ing and some bedding at the bunk
house and left there a pair of shoes,
the imprint and nails OF which fit the
imprintS about the scene of the assault.
John Porter and his brother Arthur,
I find, served a term in the Kansas
penitentiary for assault on a white girl
in that state. There was a great SINH
larity in the manner of the assault
committed on the Frost girl and that
committed by them in Kansas
Porter lies about his whereabouts
on the afternoon of the crime, and l
am of the belief that he is the guilty
man."
John Porter is about Is years old.

AGAINST ENLISTED MEN

Washington, Nov. 12.-Adiutant Cen
eraI Corbin. according to Tribune
special from Washington, has started q
movement to induce congress to re
move from the statute books a law
that he says makes an unjust discTim-
ination against West Pointers in the
army. It is almost inexplicable, the ad-
jutant general says, that such legisla-
ton should ever have been enacted or
have remained in force for twelve
years as that which favors the promo
ton of enlisted men to commissions
above the young men specially edu-
Gated at government expense to fill
commands.
In his current annual report General
Corbin devotes considerable space 10

FIVE MORE OR LESS HURT.

Popular Bluff. No, Nov 12---Hemmed
in by flames, the upper stories of the
Clifford House, an old frame structure
that burned like kindling, a number OF
persons were burned or suffocated to
death: others Ieaped from windows and
suffered the loss of limbs and other in
juries from which some died, and only
one out of more than forty-five sleeping
guests got out without injury None
saved anything except the night clothes
that were worn at 1880 a m, when
the alarm was given
Four are known to be dead: one is
missing; three are fatally injured and
more than twenty are burned or other
wise hurt. in the halls of the hotel a
dozen or more persons were overcome
by heat and smoke, and this leads to
the belief that the loss of life viii be
much greater than is now known. There
were a number Of unregistered guests
at the place.
Only one person, the Waterman. was
awake in the hotel when the fire
started. and he was unable to warn
the guests, for the flames had spread
so fast that he was driven from the
building. Escape for everyone on the
second and third floors was cut off. and
the fire department was unable TO give
them any assistance Here the deaths
occurred, and in jumping from the win
dows the others were hurt. There were
many acts of herOisn1 in the rescue OF

accounted for his whereabouts during
the remainder of the day.
One of the strong points in the chain
Of evidence against Porter is the fact
that there are bloodstains On his hat.
Porter confessed to the ownership of
the shoes found in the cabin where he
lived at LimOn.
These Shoes" said the sheriff, have
four nails in the SOIes, sticking out a
considerable distance, and by this pc
culiar print we followed the mans
trail for a mile and half and back,
three miles in all. On the way to the
scene of the crime the tracks indicated
that he was proceeding leisureIy. The
other way he was running.
4 intend to take Porter back to Lin
coin county, said the sheriff, but l
am satisfied that I will never be able
to get him across the border many
yards. 1 am sure Lincoln county men
are ready to lynch him, and that it
will occur as soon as l enter the county,
but nevertheless I am going to take him
along"
Sheriff Freeman is of the opinion that
John POrter's father and brother had
nothing to do with the crime, and they
will probably be released.
Chief of Police SaTley tonight refused
to turn John Porter over to the sheriff
of Lincoln county without more sub
stantial evidence Of his guilt or author
ity from the district attorney.

$40, 12S over 1893. There IS an increase
in the circulation of standard silver
dollars in the autumn OF each year. fol-
lowed by their return TO the treasury
a few months later. This is an Incl
dent to the movement of the corps and
to the free delivery by the treasury of
such coins. The amount in circulation
Nov 1 was S73.549. 669
New Silver in Circulation.
The provisions made by congress for
the increase of the subsidiary silver
coinage to 500, COO. 600 have been a great
convenience, and the department,
through the mint, has been able to sup
ply all demands for these coins. The
amount of them in circulation which
in January, 1880. was only 54.2G2, 140,
rose by Oct !, 900 to SO. 432 194- The
distribution of minor coins from the
offices of the treasury and mint during
the fscaI year amounted to S3,l44,99l-
against $1,926,963 the year before.
The treasury each year is called upon
to furnish small denominations of pa
per currency for use in the movement
of the troops. The amount of these eX-
changes at the sub-treasuries in New
Orleans, St Louis and Chicago up to
Nov. 1 this year was $s,436, 600, against
IS, $40 900 in 1899.
The act of April y. 1900. provides for
the substitution of United States coins
for the Spanish coins of Porto Rico, es-
timated by experts at 1920, 600 pesos, at
the rate of SC cents for each peso. The
exchange was begun on May I, when
the provision went into effect, and by
Aug. 20 the sum of $40, 227 pesos had
been received and paid for in 50. 2S2, LAG
of American money.
More Small Counterfeits.
During the fiscal year there were de-
tected and destroyed at the offices OF
the treasury ST. 46 in counterfeit coins
notes ana certificates, 3,227 scent pieces
and 121, $50 1-cent pieces. Comparison
with the previous year shows no sig
nlf1cant changes excepting in the num-
Der of spurious minor coins in circula-
ton, which are rapidly on the increase
Counterfeit gold pieces are rare, only
thirteen being inspected at the treasury
during the year.
The operations under the new finan-
cial law involved great changes in the
| bonds held by the treasurer IN trust foI
the national banks to secure circulating
notes and public deposits. The totai
of these bonds in the treasurer'S hands
increased during the year from 1929
6SS. 10 to S2S4.37S. 040 Bonds of the
state Of Arkansas for 100000, formerly
belonging to the Indian trust fund
have been paid.
The national bank notes presented
for redemption during the year amount
ed to 500, $50. 6O7, or 1925 per cent of the
