SCARCITY OF PAPER MONEY
 OF SMALLER DENOMINATIONS
Treasury Unable to Meet the Demand
 Suggestion for Relief.

Washington, May 26.-There is a demand throughout the country for paper money of the smaller denomi- nations which the treasury is unable to meet. To relieve the situation the department will encourage banks hold ing silver certificates of the denomina- tion of $10 and over to send part of them to the treasury so they may be exchanged for those of smaller de- nominations
 As a preliminary step a circular note has been addressed to the banks ask ing for data as to the silver certificates of the denomination of S10 and over, held by them on June 2, and whether it would be agreeable to make the ex- change proposed. Silver certificates over the denomination of $10 issued by the government include those for $40, $50, $100. $500 and $1,000.
 Several years ago. when there was a scarcity of $5 notes. the department sought to increase their issue by the same method as that now in view, though the experiment was with an- other class at issue. It met with in different success, however, for only a limited proportion of the banks sec onded the governments efforts.

 The Boys Story.
 According to the story told by the boy, his mother woke him and his sis ter in the middle of the night and made them dress themselves. She told them several times that she was go- ing to drown them. and after she had made up the bed she took them out to the lake The two children apparea atly went along without any demur, ac- cording to the boys story. His mother tried to drown him first pushing him down under the water. but he held his breath, getting away and up on the bank when she let go of him. From the bank he saw her first drown his sister by holding her under the water Then she completed the awful deed by lying down and drowning herself by the side of the girl. Both bodies were found face downward in the mud in about two feet of water about four feet from shore.
 Found the Bodies
 The boy found his way home from the pond which is about half d mile from his home, but could not tell how it was he went to bed without telling anyone. When his great-grandmother heard his story she at once notified First Selectman F. K. Moves Wno went to the pond about o'clock with several others and easily located he bodies They were taken to the sh..Ie and word was sent to Dr. Danielson. the medical examiner, who notified Coroner Franklin H. Brown of the facts The latter said Thursday night that he considered it a case of suicide and he had given permission for the of the bodies, which had been taken in charge by an undertaken.
 Mrs. Wilcox was well known and highly regarded by the residents of Lebanon and the only explanation fer her unaccountabIe deed is temporary insanity By those who know her it is said that she has appeared trounied about something for some days past but she appeared all right in the lat ter part of April, when the family census was taken by Town Clerk C. J. Abell. Lebanon was her native R. Hoxie. Her deceased husband, George L. Wilcox, was a prosperous farmer of Lebanon. He died about two years ago of scarlet fever ard since then Mrs. Wilcox has lived with her grandmother, Mrs. Tucker. There were only the two children in the fam fly, the girl having been a sufferer from hip disease all her life.

WITH ALL THE CREW, THREE
 OFFICERS, 24 MEN.
FRENCH SUBMARINE PLUWOsE
Struck by Cross Channel Steamer Preparations Made to Send Down Divers to Locate the Wreck.

Calais. May 26-Another French submarine, the Pluvoise, with all her crew aboard, lies tonight in thirty fathoms of water She was cent to the bottom of the English channel this afternoon by the cross channel steam CT Pas de Calais, which, crowded with passengers bound for Dover, struck the partly stlbmerged Pluvoise when about two miles from the harbor.
 Different Views to Cause of Aeoi-
 dent. Accounts differ as to the cause of the accident. Admiral Fournier has ex- pressed the opinion that the submarine attempted to pass beneath the steamer while other officials think that the Pluviose after a long dive, came up by chance directly under the paddle wheels.
 The shock of the contact brought the passengers to the steamers rails, and they saw almost instantly the hui of the submarine rolling about as though trying to right herself A boat was hastily launched, but the founder ing craft, which seemed to have been hard hit, turned partly over and dis appeared.
 Divers to Search for Bodies.
 Signals of distress from the Pas de Calais, which was making water rapid ly brought two tugs to the scene. and later torpedo boat destroyer p4H out and anchored near where the Puviose had gone down. Within an hour or two a Wreckang vessel was lying near the destroyer and her crew were malS- ing hasty preparations to send down divers to locate the ill-fated sub marine, entombed in which are three officers and twenty-four men.
 The chances of rescue are very slim because, in the opinion of experts, either the naphtha reservoirs of the P1uViose burst or the craft was so bad ly damaged that she filled.
 Diver Heard Rappings.
 Paris, May FLA special to the Matin from Calais says that chains have been attached to the submerged PluViose.
 despatch to the Journal says that the torpedo boat destroyer has report ed that a diver reached the P1uviose at nfghtfall and heard ra-ppings in the interior.
