The board of managers has deter
mined, also, to transform the old
building standing on the hill which
was utilized last year as stock barn,

NATIONAL UNION FAIR
CLOSES WITH BIG CROWD
Last Night Marked by Auction Sale
of Exhibits and the Distribu-
ton Of Prizes.

When the lights in the old Masonic
Temple were turned out at midnight last
night the National Union fair passed into
history, and 1t will go down In the annals
Of the local organization one of the
most successful affairs ever conducted in
Washington. From the time the prepa-
rations for the fair were started, many
months ago, until midnight last night
there was strong support of the project
from the rank and file of the order, and
thousands of their friends enjoyed visits
to the bazaar during the ten days 1t was
open.
The closing night OF the fair was mark
ed by one OF the biggest crowds that has
visited Il on single evening. and they
stayed late. Many Of the exhibits went
at auction last night, and the night was
dubbed by many bargain night" Many
prizes which have been contested for
since the fair opened were also distrl-
buted, and that added to the good cheer
that prevailed. The automobile, which
was the chief prize of the fair, was not
awarded last night, but the winner is
to be announced in few days.
The fair has been under the general d.
rection Of an executive committee, COM
posed of Elmer Johnson. chairman: J.
lg,iot Wright, secretary; A. e. Thomas,
treasurer: w b. Green, w. d. Brown,
Fred Strickrott, F. +. Ferguson, A. W.
Kaiser, George l.. Lohrer. 7. B. Lear
and NJ. H. KEYS. The executive COM
mittee of the ladies' auxiliary, which had
several OF the attractive booths ut the
fair, was headed by Mrs. ]. II. Jones.

COUNTERFEIT DOLLAR.
Secret Service Gives Notice of q
Fraudulent Bill.

new counterfeit one-dollar silver GER
tificate has been discovered by the secret
service and Chief Wilkie has issued a cir
cular in which the counterfeit is described
as of 1.-The series of 1890; check letter 81;

Der 2S44 or 2344; ". T. Vernon, registrar
Of the Treasury; Charles II. Theat, treas
urer OF the United States, and containing

The counterfeit inspected would easily
deceive the ordinary handler Of money.
The face and back are printed on thin
paper and between them is pasted a third
sheet to give the required thickness. A
few bits Of coarse and ravelled silk twist
were inserted between the sheets. Medi-
OGRE workmanship Is noticeable on the
back Of the note where the words tone

national figures on the face Of the note

OF OEPOS|TORS
POSTAL SAVINGS RESPONSIBLE
ITY DISCUSSED IN SENATE.
Senator Burton Asks Questions Re.
garding the Governments Po-
sition as Guarantor.

When the postal savings bill was taken
up In the Senate yesterday Senator Bur-
ton of Ohio questioned at some length
Senator Carter, in charge of the bill, con-
corning the responsibility OF the govern
ment for the payment of the postal saw
ings deposits
The first question was whether the gov
eminent would bear the relation Of trus-
tee or that of debtor to the postal de-
positor. Mr.. Carter replied that the re-
lationship would be that of creditor and
debtor. but he had no doubt that the de-
mand of depositors on the banks would
be SO promptly met by the banks as to
avoid embarrassment to the government
But, suppose" persisted the Ohioan.
that In the end the money should not be
paid over?"
Ihen, responded the Montana sena-
tor the government would be liable"
Pressing still further. Mr.. Burton
wanted to know If it was not possible
that In times of stress the funds of the
banks would be unavailable to depositors.
Mr. Carter thought, however, that the
postal funds would be subject to check
at all times for any of the purposes out
lined by the bill, and he considered any
other contingency as very remote.
oAA ouSh Ou government.
If the banks of one state fail to meet
the demand. then they can get funds
from other states" he said. If the
banks in all the states should fell then
the depositor would fall back on the
government"
When next Mr.. Burton sought to as
certain whether a proper reserve had
been provided to meet this contingency,
Mr.. Carter said that provision looking
TO that end was being gradually per-
fected, and he expressed confidence that
a proper method would be found.
The bill was discussed briefly on it's
merits by Senator Smith (Micho. He
expressed apprehension lest the erect of
the measure would be to attract to the
banks the money which otherwise might
be employed more advantageously in
commerce, and dwelt at some length
upon the evil enects OF enticing people
from methods of business which would
encourage them to depend upon their
own powers Of initiative
The bill was under consideration for
only short time during the day.

been held during the year, the papers
prepared and read He also discussed the
plans for the coming year. and said that
hereafter the educational meetings of the
club would be open to the public.

Problems. The most prominent Of ali
the problems which the Jews in this
country and in all countries have to
face, he said, was the racial antipathy
of others.
He told the members of the club that
t1ey must give this problem much
thought. He pointed to the fact that
many members Of the Jewish faith. once
they made their mark in the world, are
weaned away from the faith of their
forefathers.
THE Hebraic Spirit and Modern Gull
ture' was the toast to which DR.. Sim
son responded. In the beginning Of his

CINCINNATI, Ohio. February 5.-If the
plans OF Max Anderson and Harry M.

nut Street theaters here. and Harry Davis
and John p. Harris, proprietors of sew
eral vaudeville houses in Pittsburg, ma
terialize this summer. the ball parks,
of the large cities however much occupied
by the ball tossers during the daylight
hours. will be given over to the production
of hippodrome amusements at night
These four gentlemen incorporated the
Cincinnati Hippodrome Company today
with a nominal capital of $4,000. and
plan to use the Cincinnati ball park this
summer.
Performances such as were successfully
given in Forbes Field In Pittsburg last
year will be presented here, and the four
promoters are planning to form circuit
Of hippodromes, to include all the cities.
Throughout the base ball season they
will be in possession Of the ball parks at
night.
The plan has been a decided hit here,
and 1t lie believed will draw equally as
large crowds as the daylight ball games
do. The big league cities have been select
ed as the fields of the new venture: be-
cause other towns rarely have the facil-
tiles demanded by the kind Of produc-
lions that will be booked According to
the success attained last season In Pitts
burg, the outdoor hippodrome idea Is
no longer regarded as an experiment.
Harry Davis is at present In Pittsburs
in connection with the project, and his
three partners have just left Chicago for
New York.
1t is stated here objection was first
raised to use Of the ball park for amuse-
ments at night because 1t was believed
the grounds would be injured for ball
playing This. 1t is said. has been over
come, a scheme having been devised
whereby the field is protected and left alb
solutely unmarried.

CENTRAL BANKD|SCUSSED
EX-SECRETARY SHAW AND

Former Vigorously Opposes the
Proposition, Declaring That the
Trusts Would Gain Control.

NEW YORK, February 5.-Edward B.
Vreeland chairman of the congressional
committee on banking and currency, ana
Leslie NJ. Shaw, former Secretary of the
Treasury, had a heated debate tonight on
The subject of a central United States
bank
Mr.. Shaw. speaking at the Republican
club. opposed a central bank, saying that
i would be impossible to keep the control
If such a bank out of the hands of the
men who control the Standard Oil Com
pany and the United States Steel Cor
poration OF the two he preferred Nor
cans control.
Special interests" continued Mr.. Shaw,
are In control of financial conditions
now. and I admit it. 1t is an irrespon-
Sible control. They are accountable to no.
body for it. We cannot escape centraliza-
ton You have 1t today in the banks be-
longing to these groups and interests.
Nevertheless, these groups and interests
cannot provide the ways and means to
avoid panics or abate them when they do
arise.
Central banks work we'll in Europe.
but thew wouldn't work here under our
dual form of government-federal and
state.
Il assert that the political party that
puts the control OF any centralized COM
into the hands OF any group OF men in
New York will never again carry an
election The country won't stand for
IL"
Mr.. Shaw believed the remedy for pres
ont financial ills must lie in an improve
ment on existing currency and banking
laws and not in central bank.
Chairman Vreeland approved central
bank, and the impression was obtained
that the report of the committee On
currency and banking would contain a
recommendation favoring such an fnsti-
tuition.
He insisted that if such bank were
established safeguards would be placed
about il sufficient to make II impossible
for any group of flnanciers or politi-
clans to exercise any control over It's
business.
Referring 10 Mr.. Shaws remark that
he preferred Morgan control, If control
must come, Mr.. Nreeland said:

MRS. FORD'S JURY IS OUT
PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE
CLAIM VICTORY.
Court Charge Regarded as Favorable
to Woman in Dock-Arguments
Not Spectacular.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, February Eight
hours Of elaboration failed to bring q
finding from the jury that is considering
the charges OF blackmail lodged against
Mrs. jeanette Stewar-Ford.
Predictions Of q disagreement became
general when the jury was locked up for
the night. Attorneys for both the state
and defense claimed, however. that only
one or two men stood in the way Of a
conclusion favorable to them.
The wait for the verdict began when
after their late luncheon. No indication
of the trend Of the discussion came from
their quarters.
The improbability Of a verdict tonight
was presaged early in the evening. Blev-
en- Of the men sent messages to their
homes, the general tenor being repre-
scented by one, who wrote:
Tell the folks I'll not be home to-
night. I'm on the Ford jury
Judge Swing announced at o'clock
that he would come back to receive the
verdict If one WAS reached by 10 o'clock.
1t was half an hour past that time, how
ever, before the bailiffs cleared the court
rom.
Sleeping quarters for the jury we've
arranged in the courtroom.
The twelve men, at 1895. retired to con-
slider the evidence upon the basis Of q
court charge that was generally accepted
as highly favorable to the defense. Judge
Swing read q comparatively brief set Of
instructions to the Jury. AFTER discussing
the law points involved in q criminal
trial he explained the Ohio statute re-
lating to blackmail, and then proceeded
to apply 1t to the case at bar.
The court told the jury that the state
was confronted with the task Of deciding
that Mrs. Ford knew that Warmer was
an embezzler. He said that II 1t had
been proved merely that she had knowl-
edge that a shortage existed, this s.-uld
not be sufficient ground for a veroic1 Of
guilty.
He emphasized the point that the de-
PENDANT must have accused the former
railway official Oh the definite crime, and
by this means must have extorted money
from him under threats OF exposure.
The closing arguments were devoid Of
special features. The defense continued
the line Of argument laid down yester-
day. denouncing Warmer and Edgar s.
Cooke of Chicago as having played upon
the affections OF Mrs. Ford, and declar-
ing that she had been led into her pre-
carious situation by her infatuation for
Cooke.
