WHNT MONEY DESTROYED

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 23.-The
Cleveland board of health has request
ed all local" banks to have their paper
money redeemed by new issue from
Washington because of the general
prevalence of smallpox, and the belief
that all the currency has become infect
ed with the disease.
Health Officer Friedrich made the
request, and the suggestion has been
approved by nearly all the bank Off
cials. 1t is likely that it will be
followed whenever possible.
DR.. Friedrich says the money in cir
culation here is very foul and great
source of danger.
The smallpox epidemic has now
reached a stage where there are ten or
twelve cases a day, and two or three
deaths. Apparently the. officials can
make no headway against the disease.

HIS MAD6 THREATS
That When His Term Ended and He
Was Free to Write He Would
Do Things to the Bankers
if He Wasn't Cared For

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Aug. 23. :
Charles Becker, a most expert copyist
of names and one of the most original
and daring of that class of men which
hampers with bank paper, is drawing
toward te end of his sentence in San
Quentin prison, and it is stated that
when he comes out into the world
again it will be to draw pension of
$5o0 a month Ito be good
This pension, if paid, will, it is said,
come from the funds of the American
Bankers ASSOCIATION. The report is
current among officials at the States
Home for Criminals, and was repeated
by j. M. Oliver. secretary to Warden
Aguirre. to a party Of friends from
San Francisco.
Becker, while in prison, boasts of his
skill and prowess, and declares that
when he is free again he will show the
banking world that he did not expend
ali his ingenuity and art before he went
across the bay. He threatens openly
to make a greater haul than he has yet
done. All this, of course. is contin-
gent upon his not being provided with
an income by the bankers of the Unit ID
States.
Becker was one of a trio which in
1896 raised a draft for $12 to one of
$4,000 and deposited it in the Nevada
bank, drawing down $4,000 of that
amount.
