Iowa, declared that Frank McDon-
ough, ST, an attorney for the defend
ant company, said to him:
Unless we get these thousands of
acres of coal lands into the hands OF
innocent purchasers for the benefit of

only lose the whole thing. but We are
going TO get into litigation with the

MAKING ELEVEN
BILLS FROM Ten
Secret Service Unearths Scheme
by Which Shrewd Crooks
Cheat Government.

ST Louis, Dec. ia scheme by
which $500 is made out of ten $40
bank notes has been called to the at
tention of local banks by the St Louis
Offices of the United States secret
service. How widespread the new
line OF manufacture had become Is
indicated by the fact that dozen or
more of the altered notes have been
received at the Sub-treaSury here.
The scheme, according TO AN en-
ploye Of the Sub-treasury, is as fol-
lows:
Ten $50 bank notes are laid one
on top of the other with a quarter
inch margin OH each note showing at
one end All are then firmly held
together and by one strike with scis-
sors or a sharp knife, each note is
divided into two parts, one OF which
is larger than the other
The pieces are then fitted together
TO make note d trifle less than the
regulation size A piece of adhesive
plaster fastens the two pieces.
There remain nine complete bills
and two portions of bills, each of
which is more than three-fifths a
complete bill. The government re-
deems at full value mutilated bill,
which is three-flfths of the proper
size BY this means 1920 has been
made out of 5000 In $50 notes.
Mutlation of currency is a peniten.
tiary ofenSe under the federal laws.

ACTION OF FRANCE
ALARMS CANADIANS

Ottawa, Dec 1.-THE action Of the
French chamber OF deputies in voting
to increase greatly the tariff rates that
will apply TO American agricultural
implements has served to inject A
new element of uneasiness into the
Canadian-Amerlcan tariff relations, as
viewed on this side of the line.
Canada's treaty with France. now
needing only the last formal ratiflca-
ton, gives Canada an advantage OF 40
per cent off the French tariff rates
that would apply To agricultural i'm
plements from the United States. On
a binder this would amount to S1.20,
on mower, 1885 on a reaper, S4.S2,
on horse rake, S1.93
These figures apply as the French
tariff stands. without the latest In
crease in maximum. Press dispatches
indicate that the change in the rates
that will apply to America will oper-
ate to increase greatly the duty On
American implements.

K.pok In.,e.s of Cotton.

Owing to the high price of cotton the German textile experts have been turn Ing their attention to other flores that might be used as substitute for it. A spinning company at Ghemnitz, Ger many, has recently succeeded in using the fibre contained in the seeds of the kapok, or silk cotton tree of the tropics. In its natural state this fibre cannot be spun owing 10 its extreme brittleness, but Professor Goldberg, of Chemnitz, has found a method of treating 1t to make 1t spinnable, and the yarn Is de- scribed as having a peculiarly soft silky feeling.
 The fibre has hithei to been in use as padding for furniture and in making pillows and similar articles, and 1t has answered this purpose so well that the cultivation Of the tree has al- ready been introduced into the German colonies of New Guinea and East Afri- ca. The fibre has the advantage Of being considerably cheaper than cot ton, but no information Is at hand re- garding the wearing qualities offabrics made from 1t.
