SILVER BULLION Is
NOW EXHAUSTED
SUPERINTENDENT OF PHlLADEL-
PHlA MINT SAYS THERE is Sc
RloUs DANGER OF coUNTRYs
COMMERCE BEING HAMPERED.

Philadelphia, December 27.-John II.
Lands, superintendent of the United
States mint here, announced today that
the available silver bullion in the country
has been exhausted Unless congress
takes prompt action to relieve the situa-
ton by authorizing the purchase of more
silver bullion Tor coming purposes or by
accepting suggested temporary remedy,
he said commerce will be greatly ham
pered next year as a result of $4,000, 90
shortage in small silver COIN The prevail
ing conditions of the country's collateral
also entails wholesale discharges of mint
employees, to take effect on January l, and
unless relief is obtained from congress the
regular mint force will be cut down to a
nominal number within the next few
months.
Silver bullion said Mr.. Landis has
been exhausted because of the coming of
our useless hoard of 55000,00O standard
dollars, for which there never has been
any real popular demand. At the same
time with no available silver bullion there
is an urgent demand for s10.OO0,OOO minor
subsidiary coin, without which, the coun-
try's commerce will be greatly hampere'.
next year. The government is, therefore.
facing conditions which will COMPEL it
either to go into the markets and resume
the purchase of silver bullion for coming
purposes, or else recon a portion of its
stock of silver dollars into subsidiary sill
yer coin"

NO DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE DODGE CASE
WHETHER OR NOT THE CASE
WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE
GRAND JURY TODAY is A CUES
TON JEROME WON'T ANSWER.

New York, December 27.-The develop
ment of the Morse-Dodge divorce case
was practically at a standstill today
Whether or not the case will be brought
before the grand jury tomorrow is a
question that District Attorney Jerome
refused to answer.
Except for Dodge who will be the
states chief witness in amy criminal
prosecution, none of those who are likely
to be involved has been arrested. The
testimony of Dodge, as contained in the
long confession he made at police head
quarters and later signed. will need cor
roboration. Mr.. Jerome has considerable
documentary evidence. he says, which
will contribute to this support. He also
wants to call number of witnesses,
and his subpoena servers have been busy
gathering these witnesses.
There was rumor about the criminal
court building today that Mrs. Morse
was about to leave Paris for New York
to tell Mr. Jerome what she knows about
the tange, and to have her actions and
position uncovered from doubt. Mem
bers of the district attorneys staff pro-
nounced 1t without foundation.
At the Broadway Central hotel Charles
f. Dodge keeps closely to his room. The
district attorney visited him today. 1t
was said by the county detectives that
Mr.. Jerome had come to read Dodge's
mail, that privilege having been accorded
him by Dodge. Mr.. Jerome declared
when he left Dodge's room that he would
make no statement in the case at this
time

Nab TWO THIEVES
IN CHATTANOOGA
On Their Way to Birmingham
When Arrested
HAD SENT TRUNK HERE
Mrs. Robinson and Harry Roberts
Thought to Be Members of Gang
of Burglars Operating
In the South.
HAD SENT TRUNK HERE

Chattanooga, December 27.-(Special.)-
By the arrest here recently Of Mrs. M.
Robinson, who claims to be the wife of
a race horse man, and Harry Roberts,
who was accompanying her, Chief of Po-
lice Fill of Chattanooga probably prevent
co Birmingham from having a series of
burglaries by a gang of experts.
For weeks in Chattanooga burglaries had
taken place every night and highwaymen
infested certain parts Of the city to such
an extent that people were actually
afraid to be out after dark. Daring bur
glaries followed one another in rapid
succession. Cases of highway robberies
were nightly occurrences. Hundreds of dol
lars worth of diamonds, watches, gold
and silver, were stolen, and much cash
also.
The police were unable to solve the
mystery until the arrest OF Harry Roberts
was made His Arrest was followed by
that of Mrs. Robinson. The woman had
checked her trunk to Birmingham and
claims she was to meet her husband
there. The trunk remained in the bag
gage office several days When she was
arrested Chief Hill telegraphed Chief Wier
asking that the trunk be sent back to
! Chattanooga. 1t arrived yesterday but the
contents threw little light on the bur
glaries here.
A third member of the gang. a man,
escaped 1t Is supposed he went to Biz
mingham or Atlanta. The intentions Of
the gang seem to have been to go to Biz
mingham on Christmas day, but they
were arrested the previous day. On the
woman was found more than $1,000 worth
OF diamonds and considerable money. The
man also had a quantity Of both in mis-
possession. Their trunk and dress sult
cases in Chattanooga also contained stun
Sui csed to have been stolen. Tine dsa-
monds are all supposed to have been re-
set since they were stolen.
1t is thought that the gang may know
something Of the diamonds valued at over
$1,000 which were recently stolen from the
residence of ]. X. Orr, a prominent At
lanta man. The Bertillon measurement of
the man and woman have been taken.
Chief Hill Is seeking information regard
ing them. They are the cleverest and most
daring the Chattanooga police have ever
had to deal with, and they would have
doubtless given trouble in Birmingham
had they ever reached there. 1t is thought
that perhaps there are several others in
tho gang.
The woman under arrest has claimed to
be tho sister, cousin ana wlre or the man
in jail They came here from Knoxville
and seemed to be working the south.
Chief OF Police Wier when advised OF
the foregoing dispatch last night. said
that he lad received a dispatch from
Chief Hill regarding the trunk mention
ed In the story and that he had COM
piled with Chief Hills request regard
ing the trunk. He says he has no record
of the Mrs Robinson" or of Harry
Roberts" and that thus far he has been
unable to identity them. Chief of Police
Wier said also that the department was
on the lookout for the other members
of the gang.

RAIN AT LAST.
Long Drouth Is Broken In the Blue
Grass State.

Louisville, December 27.-The south has
received during the last thirty-seven
hours the first soaking rain in many
months. In the territory from the Ohio
river to the gulf and from Texas over
into Georgia, the spring-like weather of
the past few days has been broken by
heavy rains, which were preceded by
lightning and followed by high winds. In
several places a cold wave has sent the
mercury seurrying to the bulb. a fall of
8 degrees in one hour being recorded at
Nashville.
In Kentucky the rain was general the
local weather bureau recording a precpi-
tatlon of 2 inches in Louisville. A fall In
temperature of 40 degrees is forecasted.
Mountain streams are filling up and crops
will be greatly benefited. A boating stage
in the Ohio seems assured, and many
places suffering from a shortage Of coal
will soon have their wants supplied.
