THE LENGTH OF THE DOLLAR.

THE LENGTH OF THE DOLLAR.
How long is dollar? Most people
VIII agree that so far as purchasing
power is concerned it is not very long
or lasting, says the Courier-Journal.
Public interest has been aroused as
TO the actual dimensions of a dollar
because of recent suggestion from
the Treasury Department. that the
bills may be made smaller in future.
The Boston Transcript says:
"A dozen men in one Office were
asked TO give an estimate of the
length of a dollar bill, and the ans
"ers varied from four inches to eight.
The majority of the answers were
from four to five inches. One man
guessed seven, another seven and a
alf IAN n third eight. The exact
figures are 7.2S inches long by 3.O4
inches wide"
Nobody is going to worry a great
deal about the size of the paper dol
lar so long as it represents a hundred
cents in the channels of trade. What
Is mostly needed is an adjustment OF
affairs whereby the dollar will last
longer. Millions OF people have found
themselves in positions for regretting
that q dollar has no elastic nronerties
and cannot be stretched to meet an
emergency or a pressing want.

PLAN TO DISCONTINUE
REDUCED RAIL WA RATES
(By United Press Leased Wire)

CHICAGO, July at is reported
here on good authority that western
roads are considering a proposition
of abOlishing all special rates and
making two ments mile the mini
mum. This would mean the abolish
ment of cOlonist rates and reduced
summer rates. 1t is said that the
executive committee of the West
ern Passenger association has
taken the matter up at the instance
of various western railway presi-
dents. The proposal is in line with
general retrenchment policies re-
Gently adopted by the several west
ern lines, following the passage of
the railroad regulation bill.
The movement, however, is the
revival of a movement started over
year ago. Beyond agreeing that
ii would be sound economically to
90 away with all reduced rates for
special occasions, all summer tour
list and all homeseeker and colonist
rates, the executive committee has
done nothing, it is reported.

THINK TWO
MEN MURDERED
YOUNG GIRL
(By United Press Leased Wlre.)

(By United Press Leased WIre.)
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July 2.
Coroner Amos, following an ex-
animation of the body of Miss
Wendler, found yesterday in Rising
Greek, today declared his belief that
the young woman was murdered.
The coroner stated that he found
strand of wire wound tightly
about the girls neck. He said the
evidence showed that Miss Wendler
was made a prisoner about three
miles above the place where the
body was found. Her torn stock
ings and soiled clothing the coroner
said, were evidence that she had
been compelled to tramp some dis
lance along the bank of the creek
before she was killed.
The state will offer a reward of
$500 for the capture OF the murder
er. The girls father, it was stated
today, will offer an additional sum.
The officers believe that at least
two men were participants in the
crime.

July 4 will mark the beginning of
another epoch in mans race against
time.
On that day a monorail road will
be put in operation between City
Island and Barlow station, New
York, distance of about four
miles. This new lines, which pro-
poses to fan the very whiskers of
old Father Time will be the first
monorail line built and operated in
the United States for commercial
purposes.
The cars that are to be used are
kept upright on the one rail by
means of gyrOscope, or series of
wheels mounted in a series of rings,
all revolving in opposite directions.
The motive power will be gasoline,
engines similar to automobile mo-
tors being used.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-07-02

The car will be capable of run
ming at speed of so miles an hour.
In little more than there minutes
it will hurl the City Island folk into
Barlow station for the early morn
ing train on the New Haven road.
1t will save these country jewellers
who work in the city about 80 min
utes every day, or three hours a
week, II hours a month--a total of
six days every year.
The builders of the road are con-
fident of success, and are already
planning to extend the monorail
line about three miles west to con-
meet with a trolley line now being
built An elevated monorail from
the city hall, Manhattan, to City
Island, making the trip on Is min
ute schedule, or less, is also part of
tie plan of Bion Burrows, head of
the mOnOrail cOmpanV.

The fact that the railroads have
appealed the rate decision Of the
interstate commerce commission to
the supreme court of the United
States, meaning a long legal battle
yet before the rates become effec-
tive, has caused the desire among
shippers to jollfy over the rate
victory to subside. The fight is
not considered won until the last
court has passed on the case.

was eating some blue berries which
she had gathered by the wayside.
Coroner Schlegel. who diagnosed
the case, stated that the girl was
poisoned, the exact cause he could
not determine until an autopsy was
held. Intense pains in the stomach
and the head were suffered by the
child and commissions, rightly of
nerves and muscles which preceded
death point to strychnine as the
cause of the girls death.
Rosie was the youngest member

PUTTING It Politely.

After yachting, Lord Brassey's IA
vorite recreation is cricket. On the
magnificent grounds surrounding his
beautiful Sussex seat matches are
frequently held during the season.
OF one of these fights his lordship
once told a capital story. 1t appears
that there was scarcity of available
talent, with the result that it was
necessary to secure one of Lord
Brasseys footmen as umpire. In due
course his lordship himself went IN,
and a local bowler was put on. The
second ball he stopped with his leg,
and the cry was raised "How's that?
1t was the footman who had to an.
swer, and turning to his master,
he exclaimed In half apologetic
tone: I'm afraid l must say, Not at
home, your lordship."
Not at homer" cried Lord Brassey.
