MRS. JUSSt HAND SAYS FRENCH
KNOW HOW TO ECoNOMlZE
Says Reason for High Prices ir
United States Is Wastefulness
of People.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-(SpeciaD
The wife of the French ambassador,
Nine. Jusserand, asked for the solu-
ton of advancing food prices in the
United States, answered Undertaking
ly: THE French people do not waste
things, but they don't stint them selves.
French butchers have great skill in
cutting I'D meats and are far super
:or to yours in America. In this coun-
try you have only a few good cuts of
meat and so much goes to waste and
most of the cuts are large. But in
France nothing is lost. The pieces are
cut small and of a kind for each per-
son according to his means. Neither
the butcher nor the buyer in France
wastes a thing Our sauces are the
keynote, the wonder of French cook
ing: So many flavors, so many dishes
from the same piece of meat. Every
chef or housewife has many of them,
and a simple dish may be made to
'ook and to taste so excellently well.
Then there is the pot au feu' into
which all the bones and pieces of
meat and pea pods and other sucl
things, that cannot otherwise be used,
are placed by the French housewife.
Many of our fine salads are made from
the bits of left over vegetables or
fruit The soups and salads appear
on every table, even among the poor
est of our people. and give variety of
diet and reduce the expenses for food.
I'm the average working mans fam
lily, or the clerks, in this country, the
yearly income is, say, $1,000 or $1,000;
he same sort of a man in France
would get from $500 to $500. But the
French family would live better. In
this country you get so little for your
money. The French woman of the
middle class would make a meal and
good one where you would net
think TO see anything"

During the history of the city gov

interest of six per cent, which rate
Of discount was maintained up TO SIX
months ago. At that time there was
a talarce of warrants outstanding

TRAVELLERS CHEQUE SYSTEM
Bankers Association Establishes Sys-

Bankers Association Establishes Sys-
tenn for Convenience of Tourists.
, WASHINGTON, April 3.-(Special)
The foreign tourist, who causes the
state department so many worries
every summer, this year will be bet
ter prepared than ever before to deal
without mishap in Europe as result
of the arrangements made by the
American Bankers association which
this year will provide the tourist with
places in the world The express COM
panies have realized part of their as
founding profits from the tourist and
always at the expense of the banks
of this country, who are called upon
to do a vast amount of clerical work
for which the express companies have
the major benefit.
Recently F. l. Kent of New York in
a report on the subject, said:
Some years ago a tourist who car
ried Travellers Cheques that had been
advertised as being cashable at ho-
tels, etc, returned from Europe much
disgruntled, because he had gone up
and down various streets in London
presenting the cheques at every hotel
he passed, and as he was not stopping
at any Of them, he had not been able
to obtain any money on his Travellers
Cheques. He. of course, had no right
to expect to have his cheques cashed
under such circumstances, and as
soon AS the matter was explained to
him ne readily saw wherein he was
wrong. People will ask a stranger
to cash Travellers Cheques when there
is no reason for them to expect him
even to change a bill, unless it was
entirely convenient for him to do so.
The real purpose of the Travellers
Cheque is to enable tourists to buy
steamers, make purchases when shop
ping, and settle hotel bills without
being obliged to carry large sums of
money in their pockets. Realizing all
of these conditions. and the further
fact that the business of furnishing
travellers with banking facilities was
being taken away from legitimate
bankers (even though such Service
furnished by others would be of no
use whatever to tourists if bankers
did not cash the cheques for the no.
telkeepers, who originally accepted
them, and for the people direct wnen
they applied to bankers) the Ameri-
Travellers CheQue system for the ben
eft of the bankers of the United
States and the travelling public"

NEW YORK. April 3.-When Solo

arraigned in Yorkville police court
charged with not supporting his wife,
Gussie Schwalb. whom he married last
November, but with whom he never
lived, he told Magistrate Butts that he
was tricked into wedding the woman.
Schwalb swore that he was enamored
of Esther Elswig, sister of his wife,
in Austria, and that when the two

offered to pay his passage to America
if he would marry Esther on his ar

This suited him, Schwalb said, and
he reached New York in November. He

Exonerated of
Killing Man

PRINEVILLE, Ore, April 3.-(Spec-
ciaD-The coroner's jury called last
night by county Coroner J. A. Nc
Call after an examination of number
of witnesses in the case of the killing
of f. A. Rendel by George Estes
brought in a verdict of acquittal in
favor of Estes, statong in explanation
that according to the law as it was
shown them there were but three
courses they could persue, return a
verdict of suicide which was entirely
out of the question, of murder which
they felt was too strong under the
existing conditions and that of acquit-
tai which they considered the only
safe course to pursue.
1t developed that there was con-
siderable bad blood between Estes and
A. p. Jones. that according to Estes
statement Jones had on several oc-
casionS threatened to shoot Estes or
his employees. and that also accord
ing to Estes, the shooting was begun
by Rendel, who fired two shots before
Estes put his rifle to his shoulder,
and that Estes thought he was shoot
ing Jones, only to protect his own
life.
There is dissatisfaction on the part
of some of the people interested
from the fact that Jones, the herder
and other witnesses deemed import
ant to the prosecution were not Civ
en- an opportunity to testify. 1t is
also feared that there may be other
deeds of iaWlessness committed as
there is no settlement of the strife
between the men who were in dispute
over the range for their sheep. and
that the killing will only add fuel to
q fire already too evident among the
men and the employees.
Sheriff Elkns will take steps to
prevent any further lawlessnesS in
the matter.
The body of the dead man is held
at Lippman's undertaking parlOrs
here and will be buried this after
noon. Estes will return to his work
today.

ACTOR THROWN
INTO THE RIVER

Royal Tracy, who played Monty

had no idea of the treachery of the
Grand river near this city. when he
found a boat along the river and de-
termined that he would push out on
the bosom of the stream and enjoy a
ride as he was wont to do in his boy
hood days back East.
II did not take him long. however
to find out. He went out from
point near the foot of Colorado ave-
nue. and when he was in the current
he lost control of the boat from the
undertow and it up turned, throwing
himself and a companion into the icy
waters of the stream. They strug-
gled out. but not without getting
thorough chill from the waters and
big scare, as the current pulled and
tugged at them to make them its vic
tim.
Last night he paid a part of the
penalty in a most severe cold that
troubled him greatly in the recital of
his lines in the play. He was con-
stantly doping himself with medicine
from a wine glass to keep him in
any sort of condition to complete the
play.
He complained greatly last night.
