Emma stephany, Cringing |

She Slew Sweetheart.

Journal Special Service.
IS, Pottsville, Pa, July 1O.-Filled with
dread of the scaffold, Emma Stephany
has retraced the confession she made
last week that she shot and killed her
sweetheart, James Frizzell.
From the studied indifference which
the girl maintained before the police
confronted her, her attitude has
changed to cringing terror. The girl
sits all day in her cell, weeping bit
terly; she eats little, sleeps less and
pitifully exclaims: "They can't hang
me, for I didn't do the shooting,' .
The girl now admits that az she and
Frizzell stood by the roadside two men,
unknown to her, sprang from yard
and one fred three shots in quick sue
cession. She was frightened and ran
home. Next day she feared to tell of
having witnessed the killing, and left
louisville for Shamokin to try to for
get as much as possible the crime.
& Emma Stephany's latest confession
did not surprise the police, for despite
her insistence that it was she who free
the. shots they did not believe her
| Neither do they believe her now whe1
she says that she did not know the mar
who did the shooting.

Shortage Of Small Bills Is Explained by
Minneapolis Bankers.


National banks express their willing
ness to cooperate with Secretary Shaw
in remedying the scarcity of small bills.
The only objection that the local ma;
tional banks express is the additional
labor of signing them. It is explained
that the shortage Of small bills is due
to the fact that when the original note
plates of many of the banks were made
small bills were not in demand.
Some of the banks have no fives in
circulation. Their plates are made with
two 500 and one $40 bill on them and
the notes have always been issued from
ference to the situation or carelessness
has played part in contributing to the
scarcity. - .
While there is an actual scarcity Of
one dollar silver pieces in the city,
there is a great gain in the quantity of
81 and So bills in circulation in Mime
apolis. The increase in bills is due to
a large extent to the establishment OF
WON en- s departments by the banks and
small bills. The department stores rec
ognize the convenience to women Gus
toners of the issue in change of bills
instead of silver dollars. A small for

PLEA FOR S. BILLS
|. IS ISSUED BY SHAW
National Banks Are Asked tc
Put Notes Into Circu-
lation.

Washington, July 10.-Secretary Shaw
has issued an appeal to national banks
to assist the government in supplying
a pressing demand for notes Of small
denominations, He has sent to all ma
tional banks a letter requesting them
to issue. as much of the aggregate of
t their ?,9 circulating notes in five-dollar
that there is more profit in the issu-
ance Of such notes than in putting out
notes Of larger denominations. In the
course Of his letter Secretary Shaw
says ~, -.
Is unable to meet even at this season
of the year the pressing demand for
notes Of small denominations. The
coming autumn will greatly increase
ton I am forced to appeal to the ma
tional banks to use every reasonable
effort to relieve the situation. IF each
! bank will do it's share there will be no
difficulty. Failing in this, there will be
slight reason to complain Of the in
evitable shortage in small bills.
"The law permits national banks to
issue one third Of their circulating notes
in denominations of SIS: The aggregate
is little over $50O,OOO,000, one-third
Of which, or $l66 100000, might be in
fve-dollar notes. Instead of this maxi
mum there is approximately but $76,
100000 in fves. The additional 800,
100000 in five-dollar bills now available
would greatly relieve the situation.
cit must be apparent that there. il
more profit in maintaining circulation
in small bills than in large. Large
bills are almost Immediately presented
for redemption. Small bills find theil
way to the pockets of the people ane
remain in circulation much longer ant
only in proportion as they stay in ust
is. their maintenance profitable. Issu
