To Ask Highest Authorities 10. Pass
Upon Capt. Fpss' E|ec-
ton as Major.
HAS The MILITARY Law WITH HIM
Friends of the Hampton officer, Who
Was Handed a Few Lemons In
Portsmouth, Will Assist Him in
Having Governor Swanson Review
the Entire Proceedings.

According to the most reliable in
formation Capt. Thornton f. Jones
has fully decided to contest the cleo.
ton OF Capt Epes, of Portsmouth, as
major of the first battalion of the
Seventy-first Virginia Regiment.
Capt. Jones has engaged the ser
vices Of an attorney and the contest
promises to prove sensation i'm the
military circles of the Old Dominion.
Tho contest will be brought through
the acknowledgement and In this way
Will finally get to Governor Swanson
as commander-in-chlef of the militia
The action OF the military authori-
ties in deciding that two of tho Off
GERS from Newport News were not
entitled to vote will be the basis of
the contest. That Lieutenant Frank
lin was commissioned officer all
military authorities agree He held II
commission as n second lieutenant
and therefore was entitled to vote un-
der any conditions. Lieutenant Rup.
pert had been elected and naturally
is the officer representing his com.
pany.
Capt. Jones will not talk for publ
cation concerning his proposed con-
tSol' IlS says lIuI Hc CuTllOI QlSCuSH
the contest on account of military
rules and regulation, although he adj
mitted that he intends to take the
matter to the highest military au-
thorities. A number of the friends
of Capt Jones are backing him In
the contest.
According to those versed in mill
tary affairs the decision of the Off
GERS to return to the election, after 1t
had been declared off on account of a
tie, made it necessary for the adin.
tant general TO again call an election
for a major.
This will be the second ground of
the contest upon which Capt. Jones
will base his case. The strongest
claim for the contest, however. lies
in the peculiar ruling of the officers

This will be the first case in mill.

COUNTERFEITS IN CIRCULATION.
Secret Service Agents Find Spurious $40
Notes-Their Peculiarities.

Three new counterfeit SO bank notes. which
now in circulation. causing considerable trouble TO

The most deceptive Of the three is described
being Of the series Of 1901; check letter A. face

have been distributed. The number Of the note
is 5592134. The portraits Of Lewis and Clark are
poorly executed. There are many minor defects
in this counterfeit, but The general appearance Of
the note IS deceptive.
Another counterfeit IS apparently a lithographic
production. 1t is of SO note on the First Ma

letter II; J. " Lyons, Register of the IEeasury;
Ellis Il. Roberts. Treasurer of the United States;
Charter number q; Treasury ntmber. K 1885: bank

more deceptive than the front. but the bill is
nearly quarter Of an inch smaller than the gen
