FOR A SCHOOL
 LIKE TUSKEGEE
Options Obtained on Tracts of Land in Jefferson County. Ky, on Which Will be Erected a School to Take the Place of Berea College for Ne- grOeS.

Louisville, Ky. Dec. S.-Options are said to have been secured on tracts of land near Orell, in Jeffer- son county, about fl miles from Lou isville, for the purpose of establish ing negro school similar to those at Tuskegee and Hampton.
 According to reports, an option has been given on 200 acres belonging to Wm. Moreman and one of 200 acres in the Gold tract opposite.
 The new college will take the place of Berea college as a school for ne- gro students. Tne decision of the supreme court, upholding the state law forbidding the co-education of white and blacks, made it necessary to provide separately for the negro branch of Berea. The trustees of Berea have set aside $200,000 from the fixed properties of the institution and appropriate the income from 1t for the benefit of the colored people. An adjustment fund of $400,000 is needed to carry on the work. Of this Andrew Carnegie has pledged $2O0,- 900, and other pledges bring the total to S3i4,000. Mrs. Russell Sage is said Ito be one of the contributors.
 One-half of the s400,000 is to be used for a perpetual endowment. The other half will be invested in lands, building and equipments

San Francisco. Dec S.-Abraham Reuf's third trial on 2n issue Of nlu- nicipal bribery exposures of 1906-- the alleged bribery of supervisor in the award of the United Railroads trolley franchisc-is approaching an end. Some time during next We'd nesoay the jury will begin consider ation of a verdict. Arguments were begun yesterday.
 The decision Of the attorneys for the defendant to call on witnesses has undoubtedly shortened the proceed ings by many days, and while the move was not entirely unexpected, there was much surprise when Henry -Acll, Reuf's leading counsel, announc- ed shortly after il o'clock yesterday that the defense would rest.
 Judge Lswler allotted to Assistant District Attorney Ogara for his open- ing argument the remainder of the day. Despite the statements of Mir. Ach, the court decided that today must suffice for the arguments for the prisoner, and Hiram Johnson, who will close for the prosecution, was given two hours beginning at g o'clock Wednesday morning. The case should be given to the jury late We'd nesday afternoon.

NEW COUNTERFEIT $5
 IS A DANGEROUS ONE

Washington, D. C., Dec. S.--A new counterfeit $5 silver certificate, with Indian head, has been discovered by secret service officials, who declare it to be dangerous and deceptive counterfeit. It is said to be particu- larly deceptive by reason of the fact that it is printed on geunine paper, which has been obtained by bleaching a note of a smaller denomination, probably s1 bill. In bleaching the note the color has been taken out, some of the distributed fibre is lying close to the surface but deeply i,n- bedded in the fibre still visible in the paper, though the blue has been
 changed to purple and the red has been somewhat lightened. The back ,of the note is deceptive but is blue green and darker than the genuine

Iilley Raps Local Democrats.


 Congressman Lilley was in Shelton last evening. He dropped the utility commission and the wish you suc- cess in your career" subjects, and took a rap at Waterbury democrats. Here is what he said:
 In my home city of Waterbury the democratic party maintains as odious a machine, organized largely on the Tammany system, as has ever exist ed. Every democratic office holder, even down to the janitors of the schools, is compelled to pay to the democratic town committee share of his wages, which in some cases are barely sufficient for the needs of his family, the penalty for failure so to do being dismissal.
 There was never such a complete and undisguised system of machine politics, of spells government, in the state of Connecticut The state cen- ,tral committee knows it and hopes to profit by it in this campaign, and yet its delegated platform writers gather in state convention and pharasaical- ly accuse the republican party, thanking God, in the language of the historic prayer in the temple, that they are not as these other men.
 If there are any democrats in this city that feel like voting for Lilley after that break then the party can we'll afford to let them slide.

WARNED AGAINST
HOTEL SWINDLERS
TWO KNAvEs WITH PRETTY
WOMEN TRICK MANY
RoNlFAcEs.
AND POSTAL AUTHORITIES TELL
POSSIBLE VICTIMS TO
BEWARE.
OPERATION INVOLVES FLASHING
OF A CHECK FROM
THE HOUSE,

Two sleek hotel swindlers are
abroad, and the postal authorities are
warning police and bonifaces to be
on the lookout for them. Their
method = yiotimizing hotelmen is as
follows:
Their mail is addressed in advance
of their visit to town under one of
their aliases in care of a hotel. La
due course of time the swindler ap.
pears with his wife, registers at the
hotel and asks for his mail.
Upon receiving the letter which ne
has forwarded himself and which is
mailed in an envelope bearing the i'm
print of some well known concern in
some other state, he opens it in the
presence of the manager or Clerk or
the hotel and pulls out a cheer, at
the same time showing him the lie ter
purporting to be from the firm men
toned on the envelope and states
that the enclosed check is for ex-
penses. He pleads lack of funds and
appears to have no difficulty in Sc.
curing cash on the check. Before the
check is returned, protested the man
has made good his escape.
That these crooks have successfully
worked many hCtelkeepers in such
cities as Kansas City and Chicago
shows that they are exceedingly
sharpwitted.
The aliases used in some sof their
swindles are r. w Harris, Fred
Pincus and A Il. Leonard, and eacn
of the men is usually accompanied
by young woman who claims to
be his wife Pincus is % years II
age, weighs about 125 pounds, has
sharp features and a prominent nose.
He is accompanied by a small woman
of the blonde type, who has blue eyes
ard who dresses smartly. Both
usually claim to be theatrical people.
Leonard is fully six feet tall, weighs
about 100, has dark eyes and nose
of Jewish cast He is accompanied
by a woman about "a years of age
a decided brunette of medium size.
She also dresses well. This couple
also usually claims to be in The the
atrical business.
