Bank Of England Branch swindIed in
an Unusual Way

Bank Of England Branch swindIed in
an Unusual Way.
A remarkable story of halfpennies
being substituted for half-sovereigns
was told at the Manchester city police
court, says the London Daily Mail,
when Henry Douglas Anderson, who
had been employed at the Manchester
branch of the Bank of England and
after absconding had been arrested in
Canada, was charged with stealing
91,081.
In stating the case for the prosecu.
ton F. E. Smith, M. p, said that the
prisoners duty was that of separating
lightweight gold coins from those of
full weight, and he had to put the full
weight coins into bags which he had
to label and sign. On July 81 he alb
sented himself, and on Aug. 2 the bank
issued twenty-five bags of half-sover-
eigns to Messrs. Williams, Deacon's
bank, and fourteen Of them. which had
been made up by the prisoner, We're
found to have been tempered with,
half-sovereigns having been replaced
by the necessary number of half-pen-
MES to make up the correct weight.
Two other bags in the banks treasury
which bore his signature were also
found to have been tempered with in
the same way, and the total sum miss.
ing was G1,OS1.
On Sept. Is the bank received let.
ter from the prisoner in Winnipeg, in
which he practically admitted his
guilt and made reference to the. mad
act he had committed.
Evidence was given by number Of
bank clerks, including retired detec-
tive inspector, named John Woolven,
who, describing his search for Ander-
son, and he went down to Whitstable-
on-Sea and found the prisoners wife
and family living there. In drawer
he found G647.

IssA CITY OF BEAUTY.
Americans May Well ss Proud Of .Na.
tional Capital.

The original plans for the national
capital, as approved by Washington
and Jefferson, provided for a system
of streets running east and west and
north and south. These streets were
cut at irregular angles by two sys.
TENS of avenues, which radiated like
the spokes of a wheel from the presi.
dents house and the capitol. The
east-and-west streets were named for
the letters of the alphabet. from "A'
to wv" A popularity of the system
is that there is no ~" street. This
was because few fonts of type made q
distinction between capital ''I' and
capital u" until 1918, and these
streets were named before the dawn
of the nineteenth century. The long
avenues cross the streets and each
other at angles which confuse the
stranger, but at each crossing there
Is a little park or patch Of green to
relieve the monotony Of q desert of
asphalt. Where two or three avenues
are gathered together there is q circle
or a square, usually ornamented by a
statue, and always with grass and
towers and trees.
There are 275 Of these little parks
less than one acre in extent, and &c
others that are more than an acre in
size. There are also ten large parks
in the central portion of the city, the
largest being the Mall, reaching from
the Botanical gardens at the foot of
Capitol hill to the monument, dis
lance of three-fourths of mile. The
crowning glory of Washington's park
system is Rock Greek park and the
Geological park, which are practically
one. These have a combined area of
1.776 acres. Rock Creek park is not
excelled in beauty by any driving
park in the country. The drives wind
about the valley of swift stream
flowing through great powders, and
there have been no disfguring .'im-
provements." The roads are good,
the bridges pretty and the fords
paved, but otherwise one sees nature
unprofaned by man. Few cities have
the advantage of so wild a forest at
their very gates.
