CONFUSION FROM
NEW YELLOW BACK
SIMILARITY OF BACKS OF TEN
AND TWENTY DOLLAR BILLS
CAUSING LOSS.
First Mistaken for Last in Making
Change HurriedIy and Merchants
Of Washington Enter Complaint
Subject Likely to Receive Atten-
ton Of the Department.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The issuance
of the new $40 gold certificates has
caused a great deal of annoyance and
some loss to merchants throughout the
country. In the city of Washington,
where these new evidences of the gov
eminent obligations are perhaps more
common than elsewhere, numerous
complaints have reached the treasury
department concerning the danger of
issuing notes of the smaller denomina-
tons so similar in design and color to
those of the higher.
Danger In Casual Glance.
Heretofore, the yellow back" SO
called, has stood for a 500 bill and the
sudden loosening of thousands of dol
lars worth of $40 certificates led to
many frauds. which are the basis of
the complaint. A casual glance at the
back of the $40 certificate leads to the
impression that it may be a $40 and
numberless sharpers have profted by
this fact through rushing into business
places and asking for change for $40,
at the same time depositing on the
counter one of the new tens.
Seven Firms Defrauded.
During the last week no less than
seven different business houses in
Washington have complained that
they have been defrauded by this
means, and similar stories have come
from other sections of the country.
But the issue has already been foated
and even if the treasury department
should see its way clear to call in
these new bills with a view to substi-
tuting for them a note less like the
500 bills than they are, it would be
difficult to do so.
Will Receive Attention.
In fact. it has been the experience
of the past that whenever an issue
has been called in years were required
to get the outstanding obligations all
back to the treasury department. The
subject is likely to receive attention at
an early cabinet meeting, and it is
than probable a change in the
design may be effected, or else that
the color will be varied so as to reduce
fraud.

Vast Production of Coal.

The production Of the big mines in
the Kemmerer district during the
month of July was $4,000 tons greater
than during the preceding month, and
the production of coal is being rushed
as rapidly as possible on account of
the prospective famine this fall, which
the officials assert is sure to come.
Storage Is Proceeding.
The storage of coal by the Hartman
lines in the Kemmerer section is re,
ported to be from 10000 to 10000 tons
below what 1t was a year ago at this
time, and this shortage is not expected
to be overcome in spite of the extra
ordinary efforts being made by the I'm,
ion Pacific and Oregon Short Line to
obtain storage coal.

DEADLOCK

MING MINERS AND OPERATORS
NOT LEADING TO RESULTS.
Discussions Threaten to Extend Diff.

Sanguine About OutIook-Larae
Production Of kemmerer Mines.

This mornings meeting between the
western Goa miners, represented by
Thomas Gibson of Wyoming, and John
Mitchell, and the representatives of the
coal operators of Wyoming resulted liz
no progress being made to a satisfac-
tory conclusion, says the Denver
Times. The deadlock continues. Dis
sension seems to have arisen at some
of the conferences held within the last
few days and the present time is being
spent in %unraveling the tangle.
Much Territory Affected.
Dissension appears to be over the
new wage scale and it threatens to
extend over much more territory than
at first anticipated. Representatives
from Missouri, Arkansas and states
farther to the north and west are be-
ing summoned to Denver to represent
the mine owners and the operators
from the different states are increas-
ing their forces.
Mitchell Is Sanguine.
Far reaching results are looked for
unless it is soon settled. John Mitchell
is very sanguine about the outlook,
however, and expects a early and sat
isfactory solution.

There are some surface indications

Mayor James Voorhees, has repre-.
sented the Monticello interests. A

ing up the venture and securing
rights Of way. They apparently
worked in harmony with Mr..
Voorhees,, but lately they have mani
Tested less interests in the proceed
ings. Right Of way deeds were
taken in the name of A. G.. Bauder,
as trustee for the organization that
might thereafter be perfected, but
in q written communication from
Messers. Simpson and Lanigan to
MIR. Baude-, they claim the deeds
were taken for them, and they have
made a demand on him for them
Mr.. Voorhees, says that the organiza.
ton he represents is going ahead
with the business and in time will
have use for the deeds ITSELF. In
the mean time Mr.. Bauder will un.
doubtedly hang to them, We have
absolutely no interests in this deal
but we want the floor long enough
to suggest that it takes money tc
