THE CHADWICK MONEY.
Chief Wilkie Says It's Just Outside
the Law.

when l first saw It," said Speaker Can
non as he came out of the White House
today, 81 wondered If it could be possible
that some plutocrat had invaded the
sacred precincts OF this body of the
plain people and dropped a $40 or even
$50 bill. But the more 1 thought 1t over
the more convinced 1 became that there
was mistake, something wrong, and that
the precincts of the House had not been
contaminated by the presence Of pluto
crat. I picked it up. looked at it carefully
and found that my surmises were correct.
and that the great representative body Of
the people was still free from suspicion OF
harboring man with that much money"
The Speakers statement was In response
to question about story that he had
been buncoed on the floor of the House yes
terday by picking up roll OF bills that
turned out to be what Is called Cassie
Chadwick money. One of the wags of the
House had fixed roll Of this novelty stuff
and dropped 1t in one of the aisles. where
a number of House members picked 1t up
in the belief they had struck the real stuff.
but quickly dropped 1t again Then came
Speaker Cannon, strolling along with a
friend and keeping a sharp lookout ahead.
He spied the roll with the yellow backs. He
clusion that some man really had money in
the House and had lost it, picked up the
roll. and as quickly dropped it.
The attention of Chief Willxie Of the
secret service was called today to the fun
in the House and he was asked whether
the stuff could not be handled as counter
felt or imitation. He said that these So
called Cassie Chadwick rolls are being
sold as novelties, and that they consist
of strips of white paper cut to the size of
currency, imprinted In green on orange
There is an indistinct design with the
Capitol as the central object. In the cor
ners are the letters II. o. u" and &C. O.
O." At distance the paper bears re-
semblance to money simply because Of It's
size and color, but on examination there
is no detail in which 1t is in sufficient like
ness or similitude to a government obliga-
ton to bring it within the prohibitory
law. The designers In using the letters
IT. o. u" made them closely resemble the
figures 1O0 but were just far away enough
over the line to save the novelty from con-
demnation and confiscation.
