Wins ON THE SHINPLASTER
Uncle Sam Several Millions to the
Good on War Currency.
Treasury Accounts Show that $11,-
236,s21 of Them Were Never
Redeemed.

While Uncle Sam looses something
through the erosion Of gold and silver
coins. he makes much more through the
destruction and loss Of paper currency.
II is not easy for the officials Of the
Treasury TO determine certainly how
much the government may be TO the
good on given issue Of paper bills. as
a long term Of years must elapse before
the last old bill may come from some
hiding place and find its way back into
the redemption division.
About forty years have gone by since
the little war shInplasters were called IN
from circulation. yet. during all this
period they have been coming back from
various sources 10 the Treasury for re-
demption Millions Of them are yet out
standing. The government has no means
Of knowing where they are or Just how
many Of them are in the hands OF col
Iectors or are boarded away somewhere
by people who saved them back in the
war Of the sixties.
According 10 the most accurate ac-
counting. just SIS. go, 72l.2S worth Of these
50-cent, g5-cent. Decent, and scent issues
Of paper are somewhere" Since their
issue in 1852. 1868 and 1864. notes OF this
amount have not been presented for re
demption.
Away back in 1879, firing OF carrying
such enormous figures under the heading
Of debt bearing no interest" Congress
sat up and passed an act declaring that
$s,375,934 worth Of this fractional paper
currency was lost and destroyed"
Probably no one remembers Just how
this estimate was reached. Likely this
amount was a certain arbitrary per
centage OF the total outstanding in that
year. Otherwise It would seem TO be
drawing lines pretty fine when the off,
cial estimate named the odd 1894 Instead
Of making it a round $1,000.

a device that will make it possible for an
aeroplane Of any type to maintain its
equilibrium while in the air.
It is understood that the law of gravity

platform Of the aeroplane carrying all
the weight, with the exception Of that Of
the planes, is suspended from the latter
by a pivotal arrangement susceptible to
all deviation Of the planes themselves.
By this means latltudlnal and longi-
tudinal detection of the machine from
the course desired will be adjusted me-
chanically and without interference of the
operator. A dip downward Of the planes,
for instance, would cause the platform or
car to tilt forward, and thus restore the
planes to their original position, and the
same operation would ansue should the
planes take sldeward slant.
Principles Are simple.
The principle OF the device is extremely

There is no reason to believe that the

GOVERNMENT To FIGHT
|. PLAN OF BEEF PACKERS
Sensational Disclosures on Effort
to ThWart Indictments
Causes Investigation

CHICAGO. Oct. 28-A special dis
patch from Washington says:
Sensational disclosures of attempts
to thwart the indictment of the beef
packers and oleomargarine moonshin-
ers have led to a determination by
President Taft and Attorney General
Wickersham to reorganize the govern
ment secret service force in Chicago.
The first step already has been
taken and others are to follow before
the opening trial Of the packers in
January. The department Of justice is
in possession of evidence indicating
that political influences were eXerted
to ward off the indictment of the in
dividual packers and of the official of
the big oleomargarine factory in the
first investigation of these cases last
spring.
In addition the department has
learned extraordinary influences were
brought to bear on the personal in
dictment of the packers by the second
grand jury in the summer. These rev.
Citations have stirred the authorities
to action. On the eve of struggle
with the packers, Mr.. Wickersham de-
termined to strengthen his forces all
along the line. Extra precautions viii
be taken to guard the evidence against
the packers now in the hands of the
government.
A step already taken by the depart
ment to strengthen it's forces in prep
aration for the forthcoming battle is
the assignment of Charles S. Dewoody
to take charge of the service bureau
in Chicago. He gathered most of the
evidence on which the packers were
indicted,

.HOOKWORM TESTS KEEP
0RIENTALS FROM U. 5.
Angel Island Officials Deport 81
Immigrants Out of
141 Arrivals

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2S.-The re-
cent discovery of hookworm among
Hindus arriving at this port and the
resultant rigid tests for that disease
among newcomers is having a marked
effect in stemming the tide of oriental
immigration, according to the reports
of the immigration officials at Angel
island
The steamer Asia, which brought
Ill Hindus to San Francisco, took 1876
back to the Orient when she sailed,
most of the returning number having
been deported, it is said because they
had been found to be victims of hook
worm.
OF the iii arrivals, rs were exam
ined for the disease, with the result
that so were declared affected. OF 20
Hindus brought by the steamer Mon
golia seven were deported as hookworm
victims.
Thirty of 46 brought by the steamer
Tenyo were found to be suffering from
the malady and have been sent back.
This makes a record of 81 hookworm
sufferers among 141 examined from the
last three boats. or over go per cent.
The department at Washington is
showing great interest in the work at
Angel island and Surgeon General Wy
man has sought to aid the investiga-
tons of DR., Glover, discoverer of the
malady among the incoming Hindus,
by transferring DIR. A. J. LAMA to the
island to assist in the examinations.
Additional equipment for the sta
tion's hospital has been asked for with
a view to extending the investigation
to other oriental immigrants.

These names were of agitators re-
siding il the United States, France,
England, South Africa and India. j.

TAFT To GET ELECTION
RETURNS on THE WING
President Will Be on Train from
Cincinnati Until Morn
ing After

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Returns
of the election on November 8, fraught
with interest most unusual for an "off
year." will have to catch President
Taft on the wing. The president will
be travelling all through election
night, returning to washington from
Cincinnati, whittier he will go to vote.
Leaving Cincinnati in the early aft
ernoon of election day, after having
stayed about six or seven hours in
his home city, the president probably
will receive the first scattering returns
showing the drift in the eastern states
when he reaches Columbus shortly
before o'clock In the evening, CEN
trail time.
BY that hour the result in New York
state, is is expected, can be accurately
forecasted.
Arrangements are being made in the
telegraphic division at the White
House to supply the president with all
the news available in Washington.
Special wires will be looped into the
telegraph room at the executive OIL
ces and concise bulletins will be pre-
pared and forwarded from there to
the presidents train. So far as known
no attempt will be made to use the
wireless.
This is the first time, so far as can
be recalled, that such plan has mad
to be devised to inform a president
of important election results. Mr..
Roosevelt used to go to oyster Bay
to vote at all elections, but always
returned to washington in time to
get the news at the White House.
Cincinnati being more distant than
oyster Bay from the capital, makes
It impossible for the president to get
back to Washington until the morn
ing after the ballots have been cast.
Reaching Washington the morning
of November 9, the president will
spend but a few hours in this city,
leaving again in the afternoon for
Charleston, S. c., and sailing from
that city for Panama at noon on No

THREATEN CHINA
Yunnan Troops and People Are
Hostile to Ruling Dynasty
of ManChu
SOUTH READY FOR UPRISING
BoxeriSm Said to Be Unabated,
and Lives of Foreigners
Unsafe in Interior
SOUTH READY FOR UPRISING
ASSOCIATED Press)

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 2S.The anti
dynastic movement in China is in
creasing alarmingly, according to the
news brought by the steamer Kama
kura Maru today. Two French mi ssion-
aries have been murdered by revolu-
tionists in Sze-Chuan.
Shanghai newspapers state that deep
unrest is reported from the south, par
ticularly in Sze-Chuan and Yunnan
provinces, where the absorbing topic is
hostility to the imam dynasty.
Yunnan and a large portion of See
Chunan would join any movement
aimed against the government and act
i've support would be given by many
southern mandarins. Yunnan is pro-
foundry disaffected, the feeling being
primarily against the Manchus and sec
ond against the foreigners, foreign
travellers being forbidden in Yunnan
and eastward of the Yangtse valley.
A traveller returning from Yunnan
states that although ten years have
changed the people greatly, boxerism
has not abated an iota. The military
is to man anti Manchu in the south,
and would cast it's lot with a revolu-
ton. Mr.. Oisha, leader Of the nation
alist party in Japan, says:
There is no doubt revolution will
break out in China sooner or later,
and it is a mistake not to pay more
attention to the reports oe the danger
than the Japanese government seems
to do"
The Chinese people, he says, are in a
most restless condition.
The Kokumin reports that uneasi-
ness is beginning to be felt in Japan
with reference to Chinas autagonistic
policy.

'DRYS' TALK TO GALLERY
OF ARIZONA CONVENTION
Suffrage Advocates Forego Ora
tory and Ask Incorporation
of Their Principle

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 2S.-The fea-
ture of todays session of the constitu-
tional convention was the public hear
ing before the committee for separate
submission, on the submission of a
statewide prohibition clause at the
election for ratification of the consti-
tuition. There was q large attendance
in the galleries and the speeches Of To-
cal prOhibltionists were well applaud
ed. Though provision was made for
replies, no answers were made to the
arguments Of the prohibitionists. 1t is
understood that majority of the COM
mittee are against separate submis-
sion, but a minority report will I'M
doubtedly be made and the matter
fought out on the convention floor next
week.
The suffragists were alo given an
opportunity today Of spanking for sep
arate submission Of woman suffrage,
but trey failed to avail themselves of
the opportunity on the ground of not
asking for separate submission, but for
Incorporation of the provision on equal
suffrage in the constitution. They VIII
have a public hearing before the COM
mittee on suffrage and elections next
Wednesday,
The railroad committee reported adj
Versely on the Cassidy antl-pass prop
osition today, but will report a substi-
tute carrying the main features of that
measure prohibiting public officials
from accepting railroad passes and
providing a penalty for railroads Of
fering the same.
The labor committee reported against
the employment of convict labor on
roads and bridges, one member of the
committee only opposing.
The legislative committee will report
the initiative and referendum bill to-
morrow morning, the draft being COM
pleted with the exception of the per-
centages which are to be left to the
convention. 1t is not likely that the
matter will be submitted until the COM
mittee proposition is printed, probably
next Tuesday, when direct legislation
matters will be threshed out in COM
mittee of the whole.
