Not Against Law.

The joke somewhat angered several
members of the House, and for d time
they thought of taking the matter up
with the officials of the Treasury De-
paT5ment TO see If the stuff could not be
handled as counterfeit money Chief
WilKie, when asked about the matter
today, made the following statement:
The so-called Cassie Chadwick rolls,
which are being sold as novelties, are
strips OF white paper cut TO the size OF
currency, imprinted either in green or
orange. There is an indistinCt design
with the Capitol as the central object.
In the corners are the letters lou and
COO AT a distance the paper bears a
resemblance to money simply because of
It's size and color, but on examination
there is no detail in which 1t is in suffi
cieut likeness or similitude TO Govern
ment obligation to bring it within the
proh1bitory law The designers IN using
the letters lou made them closely re-
semble the figures 100, but were just far
enough over the line to save the novelty
from condemnation and confiscation."

NOVELTY NOT AGAINST LAW

Speaker Cannon today admitted that
he picked up a roll OF Cassie Chad
wick" money yesterday on the floor of
the House, thinking that it was real
money.
When 1 first saw it / thought: Is il
possible that some ID plutocrat
could have invaded the sacred precincts
dropped a 800 or even a so bill? But
the more I thought IL over the more
convinced l became that there was a
mistake. something wrong, and that the
precincts OF the House had not been
contaminated by the presence Of a
plutocraJ. 1 picked il up, looked al it
carefully. and found that my suTInises
were correct and that the great repre-
sentative body of the people was still
free from suspicion Of haTbOring a man
with that much money.

Several Members Fooled.

This was the characteristic statement
of the Speaker when he was asked about
the story as he came out of the White
House this morning. It appears that
one of the real jokers of the House pre-
nared the Cassie Chadwick roll and
dronDed il in one of the main aisles, in
a consDicuous spot. Uncle Joe" was
not the only man 10 be fooled. Before
he no,,nced tpon the roll several =-aem-
hers had picked il up, but dropped the
decoy as if a hot iron.

aisle. arm in arm with a friend When
conversing in this way. the Speaker gen

New Orleans Delegation Be
fore House Committee.
TO ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE
Gulf States Unable to Come to Agree
ment on Quarantine, Says
Spokesman.

\ delegation of fourteen men from
New Orleans including Mayor Martin
Balerman. appeared today before the
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce with an urgent plea
for the enactment of Federal quaran-
tine law FOR the control of yellow fever.
n. J. Sanders. the principal speaker
declared that it is an absolute neces-
sity'' for the National Government to
come to the aid of the Southern States
in quarantine matters.
Only Resource.
There is. he said, IAN absolute i'm
possibility of the Gulf States coming to
any sensible agreement among them
selves in regard to quarantine regula-
tons Of yellow fever. Our only resource
is the Federal Government. 1t can re-
store confidence to us ia a crisis. as
happened in the recent yellow fever
scare when the Marine Hospital Service
took charge Of the situation. We can
see no objection to the Williams bill,
which provides that the Federal Govern
ment shall establish quarantine stations
at the gulf ports and regulate all for
eign commerce. so that yellow fever
may be kept out Of the country.
This IS what we want. Il does not
interfere with our State boards OF
health. and it is the powerful control
of yellow fever problems that we want

position or foolish quarantine rules, but

Trade Crippled.
Henry ?. Dart, a prominent attorney
Of New Orleans. said the outbreak OF
yellow fever last summer crippled trade
as far north as Kentucky, ard as far

Faugued by his all-day trip, Wood

himself on the bed After a few mo-
mentS he arose, pulled down the COW
ers, blew out the gas and then covered
up. The jet in the room is a large one
and the deadly stream of gas flowed
from it for ten hours before WOOdsOn
was found. The WTinkled bed line
showed that he made repeated efforts
10 get out of bed and turn the key on
the jet, but he was so overcome by the
fumes that he was unable to muster
strength to raise his limbs from the
mattress With his hands ClaSped

man was discovered in the morning.

He was hurried to the Emergency
Hospital. The physicians maTveled at
the fact that he was found alive after
inhaling gas for ten hours. and they
entertained scant hope for recovery
About noon, however, he appeared to
be yielding TO treatment and was con-

he inquired as TO the whereabouts and

During the afternoon his condition took
a radical change for the worse and
he was unconscious all night

made to bring him TO consciousness
