that Hank hadn't counted on. He said
adamant and refused to invest a dollar
unless they showed him. Hank agreed
to do 80 the next day. and during the
night he bought a small hand-press
and some ink and had half-tone plates

that Boggs wouldn't know the diner
ence between half-tone plate and a
steel plate. There was one matter ne
overlooked, and that was the paper on
which to print his bills.
Boggs was conducted. with great
secrecy, to the printing plant which,
as matter of fact, was on the floor
above the room where the profusion
Of money was displayed. He examined
everything infinitely and expressed his
satisfaction with everything. Then ne
wanted to see the stock Of paper, hav-
ing learned somehow that government
bills were printed on specially pre-
pared paper. Here he seemed to have
Hank, but that gentleman was ready
for the emergency. He regretted ex-
ceedingly that his paper supply was
exhausted. Indeed, he said. 1t was
specially prepared paper. and his con-
federates were then engaged In manu-
featuring q large quantity of 1t. but 1t
would not be ready for use for some
two or three weeks.
This seemed to satisfy Boggs for
the time, but he wanted to see the

Nevertheless, he invested 800 In
the money. a part of the 5000 he had
secured in having the four bills
changed, getting for 1t $1,000. which
he counted with great care. examining
each bill as 1t was handed over to him.
Hank had carelessly thrust bundle
containing thousand dollars at
Boggs, but the farmer had united 1t
and looked at every bill on both sides
before he paid over the 500 agreed
upon. He returned to his swamps and
passed the money with SO little DIM

THINK THREE MADMEN
KILLED ATTENDANT

Prisoners Escaped.

Norristovn, Pa, Feb. 17.-It IN be-
lieved that three criminal insane men.
who escaped from the state hospital
here. murdered William G.. baltimore.
q keeper. who was pursuing them
baltimore was discovered lying In
the roadway near the village OF Seven
Stars by the motorman of a trolley
ear. The motorman put on the brakes,
but was unable TO check the speed OF
the car, which passed over and sew
cred one OF Lattimore's arms.
The trolley crew then discovered
that baltimore was still alive and was
suffering from a deep cash over the
right eye. evidently inflicted some
time before the car struck him.
baltimore was rushed to the Charity
hospital. where he died. 1t was found
that the blow over the right eye had
fractured his skull. This was taken as
additional evidence that baltimore
had caught UP with the fugitive mad
men and had been struck down in a
light or had been surprised by a sud
den attack. knocked senseless and left
lying beside the track.
The wound on the head might have
been inflicted with the iron bar which
the madmen wrenched from the win
dow when they made their escape. and
which they are supposed to have taken
with them.

That he viii be the premier In the
Taft cabinet was again positively
stated by Mr.. Taft at the White House.
the statement being made after two
conferences between the president
elect and Mr.. Knox.
Mr.. Taft went further and gave Il
as his opinion thacno court could en-
terrain an action based on the consti-
tutionality OF MT Knox's coming ap-
pointment, for the reason that the first
question that would arise In such a
proceeding would be whether Mr..
Knox was a -defaeto" Official OF the
government. IT, question, he main
tSined. would have 10 be answered In
the Affirmative. and there the proceed
ing would end.
That Mr.. Knox shares these views
was made evident by Mr. Taft In the
unequsvocal declaration that the Penn
sylvania senator was TO be his secre-
tary OF state.
With this question finally discussed
and settled. with the unanimous report
of the board OF engineers endorsing

for a moment unobserved. but with an
expression OF plsasurSble enjoyment

The jocular remarks OF the presi-

that to all Appearances there exists
