VREELAND BILL LOST
QUICK WORK GETS ANOTHER
COPY PRINTED.

When the time came today to call up
the Vreeland currency bill in the House
1t was found that the original copy of the
bill had been distracted from the oficial
records. There wasn't any bill at all to
lay before the House or to have read to
the members. No one could account for
this mysterious disappearance. Mr.. Vree-
land said that he had placed the bill In
the receptacle provided and had given 1t
no more attention.
CONSERVATION prevailed for while.
Some business was interposed, however.
and in the meantime. Mr.. Vreeland. who
fortunately had preserved his manuscript,
borrowed an automobile and hustled over
to the government printing office. There
standing before the printers he dictated
the terms of the bill, the copy was rushed
through the press room. and by the time
the House was ready to take up the bill
printed copies were on hand.
House oficials this afternoon were at
loss to account for the disappearance of
the bill.

swindled out Of $4,000 by a canvasser.
Mr. and Mrs. Patten refused last night
to discuss the matter. and Mayor Joseph
E. Paden of Evanston. who Is Mr.. Pat
tens attorney, was equally reticent. Chlef
of Police Shaffer of Evanston has war
rant for the arrest OF the swindler. but
he. too. declined to talk of the case.
A few weeks ago there appeared In
Evanston a middle-aged man OF dis
tinguished appearance. who said he rep
resented an eastern art puoIsning con-
Germ. He went to Evanston In an auto
mobile. and the machine was seen to
stop in front of the Patten mansion. The
man is said to have been armed with
letter OF introduction to Mrs. Patten, and
he found little difficulty In securing an
interview. When he left he took with
him, it is said. an order for $500 worth
Of books or art works.
A short time LATER he returned, It Is
said, and Mrs. Patten was induced to
make another investment amounting to
nearly $4,000. According to the story
told in Evanston yesterday. Mrs. Patten
signed twenty or more thousand-dollar
notes, which were discounted by the agent
and are now being presented for pay
ment. Some of the notes. 1t Is said. were
taken up by Mrs. Patten before her hus-
band started to investigate. which re-
vealed that she had been swindled.
