Forgers Bugg In BeIgium.

Because of a gang Of clever forgers
the National Bank OF Belgium has just
issued a new 1.OOO-franc bill to replace
that previously in circulation This note
will in a few weeks be replaced by an
other one OF still more intricate design
in order TO battle old counterfeiters.
This is one Of the few occasions on
which a modern bank has openly con-
fessed itself beaten by the ingenuity OF
the forger. and has for that reason
alone decided 10 change its bills.
The l,OOO-franc bill which IS 10 be re-
placed by a new one is printed on paper
of a dirty white color, in black ink, and
has round it a wreath of light blue.
Hitherto blue has been regarded a.
the color which gives the maximum or

TACOMA PARK ON
LAST LAP OF TEST.

Palmer's Place. at Takoma Park. pre-
scented a warlike appearance yesterday,
when a squadron of cavalry from Fort

the second squadron of the Thirteenth
Cavalry is on a three days practice
march. and since they trOtted away
from Fort Myer on Friday morning
they have done some hard travelling.
They rode up along the Potomac 10
Great Falls. camping in that vicinity
for the night. Bright and early yester-
day morning they were in the saddles
again, and. after making a short detOur,
set out for Takoma Park.
The squadron Is doing a lot of routine
work, which would prove pretty hard on
any Office or man who was not able to
undergo the saddle test. but the boys
from Fort Myer. AID the officers as
well, seem to take great pleasure in the
practice march. They will return to the
fort this afternoon.

Bricklayer's Marvellous Voice.

What is described by the German pa
pers as zone OF the most marvellous
baritone voices ever listened to-" has
been discovered in Berlin, the possessor
being Bertthold Pusch, a young brick
layer. who has just entered his nine

The discovery was made in somewhat
romantic fashion by a gentleman who Is
an enthusiastic musical amateur Pass
ing a house IN the process Of building
he heard a song trOlled out IN a voice OF
surpa ssing richness. When Il was fin
ished he sought the singer, who proved
TO be Pusch. who was at work on the
building
Without more ado the gentleman pre-
vailed upon the singer 10 accompany
him 20 DR. Richard Strauss, who was

BABY'S CARETAKER
NOW HAS SCHOOL
Paris Woman Trains Girls in
every Detail of Nursery
Work.

PARIS, May Z3.-Madame Leon Levy
has had the happy thought of founding
a training school IN Paris for nurse
maids. What seems odd is that no one
thought of it generations ago We
would not trust our horses or our fowls
70 people who were not expert IN their
care, and yet we trust our children 10
he first conner.
Al last the training school for nurse
maids is under way. 1t is established
in a creche, where poor working women
leave their C hildren. The course Of
training lasts for three months. Daily
during that time the candidates battle,
dress. and amuse the babies ranging in
age from fifteen days to four months
They are taught all things needful-
care of clothes, preparation Of sterilized
milk. soup. and other proper foods, how
TO neal cuts and bruises, the rules Of
hygiene and ventilation. and. indeed, all
things the ruler OF the nursery should
know. Those who go through tine course
successfully are given diplomas. A
happy thought.
And now the mothers may sleeper
20 dance at the Eylsee IN peace. while
the nurse maids with diplomas watch
over their little ones Life is getting
easier every day.

France ever has known. has so decreed.
and. acting under his orders, the secret
police are raiding one "mized" gau1i5-
ling club after the other and the pro
prietors are sent 20 prison. In these
clubs women are used as decoys ana
fortunes are often lost IN single night
as many American visitors have found
out 10 their sorrow. The games are
nearly always fixed.
II Is more difficult a matter 10 sup
press gambling in the legitimate clubs.
where play is often very high. Inter
ference with these clubs is a delicate
business owing 10 the fact that they
pay 20 the government q tax equal to
40 per cent OF the membership fees.
Recently a japanese officer. Major
Ideka Ideka, drowned himself because
he had lost money intrusted to him By

gambling than men. when one Of the
mixed clubs Was ralded recently. a

TOMORROW MORNING
Commissioners Summon Contrae-
tor McDermott, Who, II Is Alleged
Gave Fernald $4,000.

Charles Fernald. former Assistant En-
giner OF Highways, IL was said at the
court house yesterday, is under police
surveillance. Detectives Heian and
Grant, who are assigned to the office
OF the United States district attorney,
IL Is understood. have been instructed 10
keep watch on The movements OF the
former official OF the District govern
ment, pending the decision of the Dis
trict Attorney as TO the action TO be
pursued by him.
Finding il impossible TO give his per
sonal attention 10 the case, District At
torney Baker has assigned Assistant
District Attorneys Stuart Mcnamara

ence with the Commissioners relative 10

tain If Fernald had deposits in any
other institution than the National
Capital Bank. Evidence of this IS re-
garded as important. and it probably
viii be some days before his exact
financial standing can be determined.
Charge a Question.
II the charge that Feruald has &C
cepted money from District contractors
be proved, the question has arisen in
the minds of the Corporation Counsel
and the District Attorney as to under
what statute he can be criminally prose
cuted.
II has been suggested that he may be
prosecuted under THAI section Of the Re
Vised Statutes under which Machen,
Beavers, and the Groffs were convicted,
as the result OF the postonIce tnvestiga-
lions Convictions in these cases rested
on the charge of conspiracy TO de-
fraud"
The question IN the minds OF the
prosecuting officers is whether there IL
any evidence to show conspiracy IN the
Fernald case. and. if so. how II can be
produced
Witnesses who may be able 10 throw
some light on the proceedings are yet 10

AMERICAN SYMPATHY ABUSED.
So Says the Acting Governor of Sonora In a Letter to Consul Agustin Pfns.
From the Arizona Republican,

Republican Tor puhllcatlon the iol lowing letter which is q translation of one received by him from Alberto Cuh!las, acting governor of Sonora. It is quite explanatory and it's publication is desired merely to counteract sentiment which the Mexican government says iS gain ing strength on this side of the line through sympathy of Arlzon- ians for undeserving Yaqui crim- inals. This is not designed as a reflection on the ArlzuuianS. but merely to apprise them of the facts for it Is felt that they are unin formed or misinformrd d. to the enormity of the outrages. In this instance the guilty men are now iu the hands of the Mexican author ites but similar incidents may occur at any time and the Mexican government desires the cooperation of Americans in reducing crimin alitv rather than interference by we'll meant, but mSdlrected pro- tection of Mexican subjects. The letter, dated at Hermosillo, May 26, says:
 My DEAR SIR. AND FRIEND:-
 By correspondence from Nogales, Arizona, published in the Arizona Daily Star" on the 1st instant, this government tak kes notice that several citizens of that place sent a telegram to the President of the United States asking him, in the name of Justice and Humanity, to order recall of the order for the delivery of the Yaqui Indians Luciano and Benito Matus to the Mexican authorities, whose extra dition has been granted to the Mexican government according to the respective treaty existing be- tween hoth countries.
 As these versions, which are en- tirely false, have no other object than to create in the mind of the inhabitants of Arizona gratultous animosity towards our authorities, trying to make 1t appear that the criminals aforesaid are martyrs, this government under my charge, has found 1t convienl to address the Mexican Consuls in that coun- try, as 1 have the honor to write you. with the request that the fol lowing facts be published in your district:
 That on the 12th day of Decem- Der 1907, gang of Yaqui Indians, among whom were the Indians Luciano and Benito Matus, as- saulted the ranch "El Cabrero" of the Municipality of Cucurpe. in the District of Magdalena of this Stale, killing twelve persons, wounding several others and stealing what ever they could find at the ranch. Having plainly proved the com plicity of Matus in these crimes, the legal proceedings were institut- ed and their extradition was re- quest, d and granted, and by virtue of it the said criminals were tie livered to the Mexican authorities, who will prosecute and punish them according to law.
 Permit me therefore, to earnestly request you again, to please use your best efforts, in order that through the press, the real facts may be known in Arizona, for which l ad vance you the expression of my
