TRIBAL WARS IN LIBERIA.
How Women and Children Become the
Cause of Contentious.

SauSC Va
Continual tribal wars in the interior of
Liberia, according to William b. Thatch-
er, who visited the Dark Continent pros
pechng for minerals, have resulted in
the depopulatiOn of whole sections and
IN the determination of thousands of
families,
Africa" said Mr.. Thatcher, sis the
most thinly populated of the continents,
there being only thirteen persons to the
square mile. Liberia is never without
tribal wars. The natives are always
lighting, to the detriment of the country.
Gold, ivory and cattle, which formerly
came to the markets of Monrovia, have
been diverted into other directions be-
cause of better protection to life and
property. This fact contributes to the
scarcity of fresh meat at the capital.
Women are invariably the cause of
every contention Wealth among the alb
origines is based solely on the number
of wives, boys and cattle possessed The
man who has the most wives can easily
be king. The abduction of one of the
wives of a Pessy man and the refusal
to give her up when demanded is made
is casts beli. The men of a captured
town are frequently put to death in a
most cruel manner, while the women
and children are reduced to abject bond
age. OF these the king takes the lions
share, and distributes the remainder
among his followers.
THE children are frequently sold,
pawned or given to satisfy financial de-
mands, very often among themselves or
to members of neighboring tribes, or
sometimes to Liberians, who pay the
price for them, and then keep them un-
der the apprentice system until they
reach maturity, when they are given
their liberty, if they do not run away

SLIPPERY YOUTH GREASES
COGS OF GENEROUS COURT

said, At think the defendant has learned
a lesson from this experience, and II
he will agree to pay the costs of this
action amounting to SO, 1 will not
stand in the way of a dismissal"
1t was a beautiful and touching
scene, and after the dramatic speech
of the county attorney, there was
hardly a dry eye in the house. Some
one made references to the golden rule,
others spoke of Solomon and his court,
and everybody seemed happy.
The prisoner was deeply moved, ana
when he could recover from his emo
tion, told the court he must have a
few minutes in which to raise the cost
charges. He was allowed this time,
and in ten minutes returned, radiant
at being able to begin at once new
and better life.
Gratefully, he handed the check for
the necessary amount to the judge,
and with a choking voice bade adieu to
his new found friends.
Half an hour later Justice Hart slow
ly walked down the street, pondering
upon mans inhumanity to man and
grieving to think more young men
could not be helped back to useful
citizenship. Filled with all these beau
tiful thoughts, his honor dropped in
at the meat market and offered the
boys check In exchange for 50 hard
silver dollars.
Imagine his bitter pain upon learning
the check was a palpable forgery.
Let us draw a curtain yer this scene
and not try to portray the emotions of
the kindly justice. The band in the
distant stand played HE Certainly
Was Good to Me-" and the mocking-
birds twittered mockingly in the tree
tops as the justice plodded his way
courtward, a sadder but wiser man.
No trace of penitent Robert Young
has yet been found.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-24

The proverbial slippery eel is a firm
thing to cling to compared to Robert
Young, who appeared before Justice
Hart of Long Beach yesterday to an
swer to the charge of forging check
for a small sum of money. However
lacking in morality and ethics the
young penman may be, it appears he
is an expert in his special line Of busi-
ness.
This is the opinion of Justice Hart,
and he ought to know, for the trust
ing jurist himself now holds a speci-
men of Young's handicraft as touch
ing testimonial of the art Of the missing
youth.
The doleful tale of how an innocent
judge had his faith in his fellow men
badly shattered is here recounted.
Robert Young is a penman, and 1t Is
alleged he practices by writing names
other than his own on bank checks
Some lack of finish in recent WORK
caused him to be brought before JUS
tice Hart yesterday to explain his
method of operation. The young man
appeared deeply contrite when he
faced the court and admitted in a
voice choked with emotion that he had
committed a wrong. He added 1t was
his first slip from the straight and mar
row path.
DISMISS this charge, if you will. in
order that I may go to work and earn
money to repay that which I wrong
fully received on this check" pleaded
Young.
Tears glistened in every eye and
the court hid it's emotion in an as
sumption of judicial gravity.
Arthur Vietch, who had made the triI
to Long Beach to prosecute the case
for the district attorneys Office, KEEP
back the tears that arose from his
strange sympathy for the erring youth
He pondered a few minutes, and ther

SMALL BANK BILLS
NEEDED FOR CROPS
TREASURY DEPART MENT ASKS
COOPERATION
II Is Desired National Banks Issue
SIS Notes to Their Legal Limit
In Place of Larger
Denominations

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The Co
operation of the national banks with
the treasury department in furnishing
small bills to meet the demands re-
sulting from the crop movement, is
urged in a statement given out at the
treasury department today.
1t is desired the national banks issue
$5 bank notes to their legal limit in
place of the larger denominations, and
then to exchange their So certificates
for 81 silver certificates of equal aggre-
gate value. The statement says:
''It lies within the power Of the ma
tional banks to render further material
assistance in this matter. Banks are
permitted under the law to take out
SO 1-3 per cent of their circulation in
$5 bank notes, or about $20O,00O0 900.
They have availed themselves of this
privilege only to the extent of 10 per
cent, or about $126,OO0,OOO. Therefore,
the national banks could, if they de-
sired, increase their supply of So bank
notes by $74,000,000.
'In some instances it would involve
the banks in small expense and the
trouble of having plates engraved for
$5 bank notes. The banks would un-
doubtedly incur this expense and trou-
BILE If they fully understood how much
it lies in their power to relieve the
scarcity of 81 bills,
For, if the banks were to issue as
many $5 bank notes as they can legally
do, instead of issuing larger denomina-
tions, it would supply the banks with
$5 bank notes and enable them to send
to the treasury their So silver certif1-
Gates to be exchanged for 81 certifi-
Gates"
The $40 bills have not proved popu-
lar. The banks are not requesting the
shipment of these bills and the treas
ury is not issuing any extra supply.

PASADENA BOARD OF TRADE

PASADENA, July 2S.-The Pasadena
board of trade sent a letter to the ad-
visory committee of the Good Roads
association, urging that body to remain
firm in the stand it has taken and not
submit to a usurpation of IT'S functions
by the board of supervisors.
The letter strongly indorses the
stand of the COMMITTEES, of which
Mayor Farley is one of the most promi-
nent members, and pledges the moral
support, and more active assistance If
possible, of the Pasadena board OF
trade. 1t deplores the unwarranted acts
of the supervisors, which have tended
to shake the confidence of the public
in the boards integrity.

Assessment Seems satisfactory

SACRAMENTO, July 23.--The Pull

Attorney 7. C. Coogan before the state
board of equalization, which is holding
a session preparatory to fixing assess
ments of carriers. Chairman Brown
quoted some figures showing that there
is little difference between the method
of arriving at the assessment by taking
the value of the property and fran
chises and a new system of using the
stock as the basis of system that was
proposed by the company five years
ago The data was so conclusive that
Coogan had nothing to say in advocacy
