MARCHIONESS FEARS
THREAT OF DEATH
Letter Orders Her to Marry
and Renounce Donegal
Title.

LONDON, May 23.-The Marchioness
OF Donegal is going about pluckily per-
tcrming her social duties with a smiling
race. but fer the past few weeks. as
only her intimate friends know. she
has been ia state Of terror.
About three weeks ago the march,
ioness received a letter written in a
cultured hand which caused her several
sleepless nights. The anonymous writer
told the lnarchioness that unless she
married again within six months and
renowned the Donegal title she would
be murdered no matter to what spot
she fed
Lazy Donegars friends advised her
to think nothing about the threat, but
last week another letter arrived
Finally she went 10 Scotland Yard and
interviewed the detective inspectors,
who are now eNerting every effort TO
discover the writer.
The detectives have a suspicion that
member OF the Donegal family Is the
guilty person. but they cannot under
stand what would be gained by muir
derlng the marchioness.
No mention is made Of kidnapping or
numbering the juvenile marquis, who
was born when his late fatLer was
eighty years old. The next heir to the
title = Lord Henry Fitzwarrine Chi
chester.

CURRENCY MEASURE
STILL HAS CHANCE
'5Uncle Joe" and President
Are Said to Be De
termined.

Despite all the assurances to the con-
trary, there still is a chance that cur
rency legislation viii pass Congress be-
fore adjournment; currency legislation
that will provide for emergency issues
OF money, not merely a measure looking
TO a commission investigation into the
financial system.
The President and the Speaker are
credited with "a determined purpose 10
get something done along the lines OF
the Aldrich-V reeland measures. They
both believe that before the year is over
the country will be disposed seriously
10 find fault II there is no legislation,
and, therefore, are insistent now upon
getting something done in the last hours
OF the session.
on the authority OF members Of the
Currency Committee in the House it Is
stated that Speaker Cannon declared he
would recognize nobody for the purpose
OF calling I'D and trying 10 pass the
Senate Joint resolution for the appoint
ment Of a joint commission Of Sen
ators and Representatives on cur
rency system. The Speakers reason is
that he doesn't propose to allow Con-
gress to get away so easy as that. He
realizes that If the Currency Commits
sion plan should pass, the chance of
forcing the conferees on the Aldrich and
Vreeland measures 10 agree would be
vastly less than If the commission reso-
luton were certain of failure. There
fore. the declaration that nobody Will
get recognition 10 call up the commits
sion resolution.
The Speaker knows something about
bluhlng He takes he position that
something along the lines OF the AL
drich-Vreeland proposals must come out
Of the conference and pass. or else there
viii be no currency measure at all. He
wants something done, but he wants
something worth while, and he thinks
tbs mere provision OF a commission is
far from meeting the demands of the
situation.
Last evening, among the people who
know of the purpose Of the Speaker and
the White House TO keep on trying fer
circulation legislation, IL was commonly
believed that this situation explained
the determination, suddenly reached, 10
keep Congress in session till the middle
OF the week. The cOnferees are TO have
plenty OF chance 10 get together.

Notes Looked Good.

There seemed to be no end TO the
supply OF these notes and for long
time the Secret Service officials were
at a loss to know where they came
from. All the notes were OF the s. and
so denominations. and 10 the farmers
and tradesmen OF the rural districts
who we're not familiar with modern Ea-
tional bank notes, they looked very
good indeed. The first stumbling block
encountered by the Secret Service men,
after they gathered in a few OF the
note passers. came IN the shape o.
court decisions that went against the
Cove rnment. The Federal judges held
that as the New Brunswick and Atlanta
banka had existed and the notes which
passed we're genuine, although out Of
date and worthless, the men who VIC
timized the farmers were not guilty
under the counterfeiting laws. The
cases were therefore thrown out Of
court.
Prosecutions were instituted more sue
cessfully under the State laws against
sWindling and fraud. In the meantime
the Secret Service men learned that the
New Brunswick notes had come orig
inaNy from a dealer in waste paper,
who had purchased them IN bulk from
the bank. The notes had never been is
sued. and, when invalidated by the pas
