Sl,4OO MORE IN COINS
Marshal Sutterfield Unearths More German Silver Counterfeits at
 Blanchard Home at Hilltop.

Harrison, Ark, Aug. 3.-Dep- uty United States Marshal Hiram SEtterheld, not satisfied with his raid ou the counterfeiters, as heretofore reported, went again to the home of the parents of Dr. Blanchard and made further search for more money. He was led to make further search by finding among the doctors pa pers some bills for metals used in the business, and his search was rewarded by finding $l, 400 more coin, or rather the blanks used in the stamping of the dollars. The pieces of German silver appear to have been run out the exact size and weight of true dollar, and have been bought in the shape, and as he needs them, 1t appears that he stamps them in the dies and completes them.
 The deputy, assisted by w. A. Harp, had secured search war rants for the house aud another house or two in the community, and were searching the house when the old people returned from Harrison after giving bond, and the deputy told the old folks that they had as we'll tell where the other stuff was hidden, so the old lady told him he would ind 1t buried under the stove, under the house, and upon excavating about two feet of dlrt from be- heath the floor and directly un- der the stove be found a strong oak box, and wrapped m a paper and packed in rows he found the l., 400 pieces of German silver prepared for stamping into dol lars.
 They also found other dies and molds on the premises.
 The mother told also that the son had a confederate in Montana who had worked with him and was to come out here aud operate with him as soon as they com pIeted the dies to their satis- faction.

THEIR SUPPOSED
 VICTIM RETURNED
Men Made Threats Against A Man Who Disappeared, Causing Them 10 Be Charged with His Murder
 Now Shows Up Again.

Marshall, Aug. 1.-The return of the man they were charged with murdering was the reason tor the release of Tom Ford and Andrew Treadwell by County Judge V. c, Bratton under ha- beas corpus proceedings here yes- terday.
 Following the sudden disap- pearance of Pen McNutt in A pril, Ford and Treadwell were arrest ed aHd at time 1t was feared the men would be dealt with by the populace, the circumstantial evi- dence against them being very strong by reason of repeated threats said to have been made by them against McNutt.
 McNutt was recently found in Oklahoma and induced to return, whereupon steps were taken 10 release Treadwell and Ford. Mo Mutt gives as his reason for dis appearing the threats he had heard Treadwell and Ford had made against him.

ROAD SYSTEMS FOR
 NATIONAL FORESTS
Systematic Work to Be Done by the Forest Service, Working in Co., Operation with the Good
 Roads Department.

The office of Public Roads of the Department of Agriculture is to cooperate with the forest ser vice ln drawing up plans for com prehensive systems of roads and trails on national forests.
 For the last two years congress has provided funds for permanent improvements on national forests, ana large part of the money thus made availa ble has been and IS being used for road and trail building. The amount is too small, however, ia comparison with the total area of the forests, to make possible more than a very small beginning. With thicker settlement and increasing use of the forests, good roads will become more and more a crying necessity.
 The object of securing the help of the office of good roads is to make the work take the line that will not merely serve temporary convenience, but also count for most in the end. By building each year with reference to carefully worked.out plan the danger of indirected effort will be escaped.
 During the present summer an engineer of the office of roads will go over the ground on sever. al of the forests and draw urI plans which will be submitted to the forester and will serve to guide subsequent work. Where the roads planned for cannot be built, trails will, so far as possi- ole, be made to follow the courses lad out, with the expectation that later they will be converted into roads.
 The roads, trails. telephone lines, and fire lines already con- structed on national forests are proving of great value both in the work of fire protection and in serving the convenience of the public. The further this work can be Carried the greater will be the usefulness of the forests to the surrounding regions.

CAR SHORTAGE
 THREATENED
? 900 Bad Order Cars On Track at Philadelphia Cannot Be Taken 0utof State for Repairs and Shops are
 Working Only Few Men.

From the Gazette.
 "What are the railroad com panies going to do about the car shortage, which will certainly be felt this fall?" is question that has often been asked by interested narties recently. That there will be a shortage of equipment IS very generally believed. Ev- cry indication points to a bumper crop of cotton and corn, as well as activities in other lines of trade. which will demand ship ping facilities. It has only been a very short time since the short age of cars on several Arkansas railroads caused great iucouyen- fence and loss to the fruit ship pers of Northwest Arkansas, and suits are now pending for recov- cry of damages.
 Very little repair work bas been done this summer on dam aged cars, especially on the lren Mountain system, where the strike of the carmen tied up lot of this work that might other wise have been done. Cars unfit for use have been sidetracked at various points on this system. At Philadelphia there were about 5000 at one time on the spur track leading out to the cinder pits on the Ouachita river.
 The company sometime ago made contract with the Ameri- eau Car and Foundry Company to repair 2,000 bad-order cars, the work 10 be done at St. Louis and Memphis, but when they un dertook to remove the cars from the State they struck suag in the fellow servants law, which does not permit car damaged m this State to be removed into an- other State for repairs, or even to be taken past place In the State where repairs can be made. So the matter stands. The time when these cars will be badly needed is fast approaching, and very little work is being dore, even now, to prepare these cars for use.
 The piecework system of re- pairing cars IS not satisfactory to the union carmen and was pri- marily the cause of their strike in May. The company is now conducting its work in the car shops on the piecework system, but at the Barring Cross shops only limited number of men are working. The company is put ting on men as fast as they can be secured, but it is hardly possi- ble that with all the force 1t may be able to put on it can be in shape to relieve the situation full ly in the fall.

New York, Nov. 30.--The Lafayette Trust Company a Reorganization of the Jenkins Trust Company. of Brook lyn, which went down in the financial panic of 6 year ago. did not open for business today.
 Instead, there appeared on the doors of the bank a brief formal statement confirming an announcement made last night to the effect that the off, flcers of the institution had decided to give up the struggle and permit the institution to go into liquidation. Fail- ure to obtain an increase of capital, which the officers maintain was es- sential to the continuance Of the bank, was assigned as a reason for the ac- tion4 It was said that the install ment payments to depositors in the Jenkins Trust Company. which were provided for by the reorganization plan, had proven to be severe drain on the directors of the company and also that the new oAioers had been embarrassed in their efforts to obtain new capital by memories of the for mer management.

A Negro, a Supposed Diplomat and
 Army OfaceF's Wife Involved.
 Washington, Nov. 30.--The police of this city have a shooting mystery on their hands involving negro man, supposed diplomat and the alleged wife of an army captain.
 At the emergency hosiptal. William Sykes, the negro. and the man who was shot, lies in a critical condition, while the other parties to the affair for the present at least have been able to conceal their Identity.
 The shooting occurred Saturday evening in a fashionable section of the city after the negro had approached the couple and, as he says, asked to be directed to a certain address. A short time afterwards, according to the story of a clerk In the Portland apartment house. near where the shooting took place. a man and a woman, apparently greatly excited, passed quickly through the lobby and was bleeding and the woman was heard to advise him to have it attend ed to, whereupon they started for a drug store on the corner. but changed their minds and disappeared.
 The negro adheres to his story that he simply asked to be directed to an address he gave. It Is stated that should the negro die. the police would be compelled to make a canvass of all the legations unless In the mean time the Identity of the man becomes established.

 Cooper is explaining hfs theory and medicine to the public. and at pres ent he is. the sensation of the day in New York.
 While giving his opinion of the cause of so much sickness among the present generation, in a recent inter- view, Cooper said: "The amazing part of modern life in this city. and every other in America. is the rush and hurry. No one seems to have enough time. This very fact is responsible for much ill-hea1th.

 "The daily life of the average New Yorker is about as follows: After sleeping all night in a room with low ceiling and poor ventilation, he dresses in a rush. bolts his breakfast and runs for a car He rides down town in this car with the air foul from overbreathing. and works until noon shut up tight in some factory or office building. At noon a hasty lunch and then back for the rest of the day in the same close quarters When time to quit comes he piles into a car again, jammeJ in with others like him, and spends thirty minutes in the stihing atmosphere getting home.
