Cnansc in Designs Of Paper Money

A recent Washington dispatch says
that several important changes in the
designs of the paper money of the coun-
try are to take place soon
Secretary 'MacVeagh, Assistant Sec.
rotary Norton and Director Ralph, of
the bureau of engraving and printing,
have under consideration general
scheme Of systematizing the designs of
all issues Of paper money in such q. man.
ner that the same portraits or emblerns
will appear on all notes Of the same de-:
nomination.
Distinctive designs for one dollar.
five dollar, twenty dollar and fifty dol
lar bills, and perhaps those of even
higher denominations, have been pre-
pared. The two dollar bills may be
abolished, it is reported. If the. two
dollar bill is retained, it is certain that
It's design will be such as to make it
stand out from pile of one dollar and
five dollar bills at prominence that
will permit of no mistake in it's hand
ling.
Some treasury officials are inclined to
favor even more radical change and
recommend that paper money be re-
duced to about the size of French and
italian notes of smaller denominations.
These notes are about three-fifths the
size of the American kind, and are more
convenient to handle.

Justice In Haiti

In most lands that maintain o court
of justice the institution commands the
respect of the public It has In its
hands the means of securing an out
ward show of respect under any cir
cuinstances. In, Haiti this power
appears to he made source of revenue,
according to astory told by n. Prichard
in ''Where Black Rules White"
A Haitian owed a trader $28. A
Judgment requiring the Haitian to pay
II week into court was given, and the
trader agreed to send messenger to
the magistrate every week for the
money. g. s- .......'
In due time he sent for the first in
stallment and was informed that the
Haitiln had not paid up, but that he
should be put in prison for his failure.
Three weeks passed with the same
result. One morning the Haitian went
to the traders store. What good. he
asked, would come to the. trader if he,
poor man. we're thrown into prisona

earn thereby untold rewards in future

After some talk the trader gave him

affair was settled, but. the Haitian was
struck by the bad grace with which the
magistrate dismissed him. ,.rr,.;:s :.;.,,.
He forthwith returned to- the trader
and asked him If he had received the
% already paid into the court. The
trader looked surprised and said that he
had received nothing. '~.- .. .'-...-
"Then, since you have RENTED the
debt, that 81 is rnine," said the Haitian.
Accordingly he went to the court to
present his claim. The magistrate. at
once committed him to prison. A con-

Two or three hundred millions of
dollars worth of bonds are about to be
issued to fill the hole in the treasury
left by the Roosevelt administration.
It is time to take an accounting in
order that something may be done to
curb the extravaganza notions of the
lawmakers of the land. Chairman
Tawney, who is the supposed watch
dog of the treasury" just at present
warns the advocates of conservation
that it will be impossible to carry out
heir plans and at the same time ex-
spend SO many millions on the army
and navy. The following extract from
Chairman Tawney's speech is taken

OF GREAT BRITAIN SHOWN
First Lord of the Admiralty Admits
Lack of Docks for Dread.
naughts

LONDON. May 15-The unpreparedness of
the British navy for strkingly Illus
trated in the house of commons the other day.
Mr.. McKenna first lord of the admiralty, made
the remarkable admission in reply TO J. B.
Lonsdale, that there is not a single drydock
on the east coast into which damaged Dread
nought could enter If she were drawing more
water than ordinarily in consequent of being
flooded. He added that he understood there
were no fewer than five docks in Germany with
this capacity.
When Lonsdae asked how many docks of
this capacity are under construction McKenna
replied: Il believe it is common knowledge
that a dock is being built at Rosyth.
Lonsdale cornered McKenna with his next
question: How long will 1t be before the
Rosyth dock is ready?" McKenna was silent.
but a member shouted the answer Seven
years.
McKenna stated in reply to question by
Middlemore North Birmingham that 1t was
impossible to say how many docks England
would have in the year 1916. To Sir George
Doughty (Grimsby) he stated that the govern
ment was considering the question of the proyi-
sion of docks the east coast.
Another remarkable answer of McKenna' 5
was the effect that there is not a single first
class battleship on the China or Australian
stations.

IS EN- ROUTE TO COLORADO
Honorable Betty Bettsworth, Accom-

Visit the West

NEW YORK, May 15.-With two
maids to look after her, with all the
care and attention to which she is en-
titled by birth, the Honorable Betty
Bettsgorth, years old, has arrived at
the Hotel Netherlands from Montreal,
en- route from Liverpool to Colorado
Springs.
Manager Whitaker had an automo-
bile at the grand central station to
meet her and the nurses.
A grand niece of the late Col. North,
the nitrate king" who left several
millions in trust for her sole use, the
Honorable Betty showed that her
every wish was law. When she ar
rived at the hotel she told one of the
nurses she wanted a nice big room and
some fruit and milk right away.
She had breakfast and luncheon in
the big dining room, both nurses stand
ing behind her chair and watching over
her. Any guest who attempted to ap-
proach her was quietly warned away,
the nurses saying they had been in
structed not to let a single stranger
near the child for an instant
The nurses said the Honorable Betty
has never seen her father. Her mother
died just after she was born while the
father was absent in the Canadian
northwest.
He is interested in an English cor
poration owning extensive mining
claims and timber lands in Alaska and
Canada. He will see his child at her
aunt's in Colorado Springs.

CONSPIRACY
Man Who Struck Down Tacoman at
Midnight Says Feminine Conn
panion Carried Out Plot
Successfully
tBy Associated Press ]


TACOMA, Wash, May 15.-The VIC
tim of an alleged conspiracy entered
into between his wife and Charles F..
Newcomb, a laundry wagon driver,
Martin Kvalshaug, 81 years old, was
shot down in cold blood about midnight,
just after alighting from an Eleventh
street car at South Twelfth and Puget
Sound avenue.
That the killing was the result of a
carefully arranged plot was evidenced
this afternoon by the alleged confession
of both Newcomb and Mrs. RValshaug'
In his statement to Captain of De-
tectives Fitzgerald, according to the
police, Newcomb said he had stationed
himself at a point where he knew that
Mr.. and Mrs. Kvalshaug would pass on
their way home from a dance.
He held a large sized rock in one
hand, and when the couple were oppo-
site him reached out from his conceal
ment and struck down his victim.
While Kvalshaug was writhing on
the ground Newcomb commanded the
woman to go away, he says, and he
then fired three shots into the pros
trate mans body.
Mrs. Kvalshaug then picked up the
revolver and fired two shots into her
husbands body.
NeWcomb blames Mrs. Kvalshaug for
the killing, stating that the plot orig
mated in her brain. He said the muir
dered mans wife even led her husband
to the side of the road where the assail-
ant was hidden, in order to make the
attack more simple.
After undergoing more than two
hours continuous questioning at the
hands of city detectives, Mrs. Kval-
shaug is said to have confessed that she
knew of a plan to kin her husband.
