FORGED BANKNoTEs
Amount of Them lnereased--Desisn
Is Easily Reproduced.

From London Answers.1
Is the English banknote safe? The
number OF forgeries which have taken
place in recent years suggest that It
is not nearly SO safe from the tricks
OF the forger as 1t was once thought
to be, and we have the statement Of
the counsel for the Bank of England
to confirm the complaint of those who
demand that 1t should. be changed.
Mr.. Mathews said, a few weeks ago,
at the Old Bailey, that "the circula.
ton of spurious notes on the Cont
nent has become SO extensive in
some districts that now even genuine
notes of e5 and eIosare most diff.
cult to negotiate. Time was when a
Bank of England note would carry
one .mostwheres, and saw one
through most things; but in some
places that is no longer possible"
Forgers are, of course, becoming
more expert every year.. They are
better educated. They have scientific
knowledge and the aid of photogra-
ply, and the instruments of the Grim
inal enterprise are comparatively
cheap, The Bank Of England note Is
the most easily forged Of all. for 1t is
the simplest. consisting as 1t does of
black printing on a white paper. The
great safeguard lies in the quality of
the paper and the quality of the print
ing, and the watermark on the pa
per.
To make the actual paper is beyond
the skill of the ~cTeverest forger. 1t is
made at a small town near London;
but SO well has the secret been guard
ed that the most skillful note printers
In the trade do not understand that,
though they know most of the other
secrets.
Note printing is one OF the highly
skilled trades which still is a virtual
monopoly Of the city of London. It
has always been SO. and the great
banks OF the world come to the en-.
grayers and printers OF London to
have their notes or their plates made.
They turn out the most beautiful
printing in Europe. Some of it is OF
the most complicated description. and
In this fact lies its great safety.

Vacation Over, Roosevelt
Leaves Oyster Bay.
Young Women AppareIIed in Red
White and Blue, Hymn "God be
With You" as He
Goes.
(By the Associated Press

oyster Bay, n. Y, Sept. 30.-With
the cheers and good wishes Of his
neighbors and friends following him,
President Roosevelt his summer
vacation ended. left Oyster Bay to-
day for Washington The farewell
given the President by the residents
of his home town was notable.
Throughout the village residences and
business buildings were decorated.
At the railroad station, over the
entrance to the waiting room, a white
dove with outstretched wings, perch
ed on an American shield, had been
placed Beneath this emblem was
the one word Peace" The whole
was entwined with the national colors
Of Russia and Japan.
At the station hundreds Of the
neighbors and acquaintance of the
President and his family had assem-
bled. Scores Of school children were
massed about the platform, each
attired i'm white, trimmed with rib
bons of red and blue, sang God Be
With Yop Till We Meet Again
The Presidetn made a few farewell
remarks.
The President was accompanied to
Washington by Mrs. Roosevelt and
their children Ethel, Archie and
Quentin.
While the President and family
were being driven to the village from
Sycamore Hill the rear axle broke of
their road wagon and the back part
of the wagon settled down. Fortu-
nately the axle did not break short
eff but splintered and the body of
the wagon did not fall to the ground.
The coachman stopped the horses i'm
mediately, and the President rode to
the station in borrowed carriage.
New York, Sept 30.-The presi-
Dental party arrived at Jersey City
at noon and We're escorted by de-
tachment of police to the special
Pennsylvania Railroad train which
was in waiting for them. The trip
from Long Island City on the Penn
sylvania ferryboat Nassau was with

Unworthy, of Holton, Me-, of the
Nassau, expressed desire to speak
with the President. Unworthy is an
old friend of President Roosevelt s
guide in Montana. AS the engineer
could not leave his post the President
walked down to the engine room and
chatted with Unworthy several
minutes.

and the stockholders of that company
are the parties interested in the pres
cnt deal. The road will be operated
under the charte of the Raleigh and
Pamlico Sound galway. but the
stockholders have not asked for a
dissolution of the North Carolina and
Ohio.
While Raleigh people and the pe"-
pie Of Wake and adjoining counties,
who enthusiastically came TO the
support of the road through the issue
Of bonds TO aid in construction would
have preferred TO see the road COM
pleted under the management OF the
Messr's Barbee and Captain ]. Nj.
Turner. who conceived the plan and
executed it. still there will be feel
ing of general qualification that the
outcome has been one of a profitable
character to these gentlemen whose
enterprise deserves any reward which
they may win as the result OF the
negotiations.
Although there is every reason to
believe that if they had been left TO
fight >the battle alcne the road would
still have attained it's destiny as set
forth in its charter, the want of the
large capital which the purchasers
are understood to command would
have rendered the work much slow
er them it VIII now be prosecuted.
If, as there seems to be every rea-
son TO believe. the present control
represents great financial interests
the completion Of the Raleigh and
Pamlico to Washington may not mark
the end of its early development but
there may result a system which will
ultimately connect Raleigh with the
whole of Eastern North Carolina. The
advantages of this quick and direct
and, in a sense. independent connec-
ton of the capital with tide water will
be seen to hold the greatest POSSIBLE
ties and value.
In the meantime, the Messrs Bar
bee and Captain Turner are under
stood to have made "deal' which
places them definitely - the happy
side of easy street. No one will be
other than glad at the success for
which they have worked unremit-
tently and, despite their ultimate. good
fortune, with Il large measure of pub

To BUILD TURNPIKE
But Ashe County Must
Finance it to Jeffer-
son.

The Board of Directors of the State 9
Prison met yesterday with the Council
of State In the Governor office, and IT
was decided jointly by them to con-
struct the turnpike to the top of the
mountain, but the remainder Of the
road TO jefferson must be built at the
expense OF Ashe county, or the road
will be discontinued at the top OF the
mountain.
All the directors of the penitentiary,
Messrs. j. G.. Racket. North Wilkes
boro; j. +. Kerr, of Asheville; w. +.
Grassland of Rockingham; Or, r. II.
Speight, of Speight's Bridge, and Jno.
ID. Dawes Of Elm City, were present.
Governor Glenn presided, and after
the meeting he made the following
statement:
"At the meeting it was decided
to complete the road to the top of the
mountain toward Jefferson, and there
stop the work unless the people of
Ashe county do their proportlonate
part, that is, defray the necessary ex-
penses. Wilkes county people have
done all that they have agreed to do.
and the work on the road from where
1t has stopped will be concluded 10 the
Mountains top at the States expense.
II was authonzed to notify the
authorities OF Asfie county OF the ac-
ton of this meeting, and shall tell
them that If they comply with what
they have agreed TO do the turnpike
will be completed by next June.
Convicts are now at work on the road.
The road would cost Ashe county
about $4,000.
1.-The money that the state will ex-
pend on the road Will not go to private
shareholders, but will be stock owned
by the state"

Governor Glenn was deluged yes
terday with urgent kilograms. per-

continent messages from people iii
Asheville and the surrounding towns
and citizens of Madison county warm
in asking him for further respite OF
Peter Smith. the aged Madison coun-
ty rapist. Some of them contained
earnest requests for a Communication OF
Smiths death sentence, to lire 1mprls-
onment, as the man, is now in eX-
treme old age, and could not possibly
survive many more years many OF
the solicitations were pathetic.
The only reply elected from Cover
nor Glenn was in a telegram, In Whlch
he stated that he had requested the
trial Judge and the solicitor to inves-
tigate the case for him, ana that Doth
had declined to recommend a commu-
tation, and that he would take no tur-
the action unless a coiilihulatioh
should be advised.
Smith will be hanged tomorrow
unless the solicitor and trial 1udgs
act, and the only hope tnat smith I'm
has for life is in the ability or ms
lawyers to secure the recommends
ton
