TRIAL OF MAJOR GEORGE
Veteran Army Officer Being Ably
Defended by Lieut.. Mumma
at Des Moines.
Especial to The Herald

Des MOines, Ia, June 1.-Major
Charles George was today placed on
trial before a military court at Fort
Des MOines, charged with irregulari-
ties in accounts as chief officer of Iowa
recruiting stations. There are three
charges with fifty-fOur specifications.
1t is alleged that the veteran officer
turned in false statements of railroad
fare to sub-stations at Fort Dodge.
Waterloo and other points; that he reg
istered at two hotels and turned in two
hotel bills for the same day, and that
statements of meal expenditures were
added.
Lieutenant Mumma, who was called
to appear for the defense at the last
minute when the war department in
sisted that Captain King serve as
judge advocate, scored the first point
today by having one count stricken out
on the grounds that it was too indef-
mite. He assumed the aggressive from
the start. When Major Gilbraith, in
spectOr general and chief witness for
the prosecution, was placed on the
stand, he managed TO show that George
had economical on rent and other
items, and that in each case had given
the war department the benefit of the
economy. He also forced the witness
TO careful explanations several times.
The prosecution will consume the rest
of the week, and sensational develop
ments are expected.

Some New Notes in Thirty Days.

The comptroller of the currency now
has in the vaults about S203, 001 in
old notes belonging To various national
banks, and these will be used as re-
quired until new notes are printed anC
seasoned ready for use. 1t IS probable
that il will require six months TO
change all of the plates used by the
$50 national banks, but il is expected
that some of the new issue viii be
ready for delivery by July l next. Sew
eral matters connected with the new
issue are still under discussion, one of
the most important being the denO'n-
inatiOn of the notes, but ii is thought
that the smaller denominations will be
issued first, as each autumn there is a
heavy demand for small n0Ics, espc-
cially from the west and south. As
soon as the department is ready to sup
ply the new notes in any quantity re-
quired, no further issue of the present
notes will be made, the present notes
being destroyed as fast as they redcn
the treasury for the redemption and the
new notes issued in their place.
