French Copper Coins.

From Paris Correspondence. London Telegraph.
1t seems that. when all has been said
and done, copper coins are the best for
small fractional currency. Such is the
conclusion at which Il famous scientific
commission OF the French mint has ar
rived after several years of study. The
government and the general public were
supposed to be tired of copper pennies
and half-pennies. The commission was
appointed some years ago. and met
periodically to study the ACCESSIBILITY
of striking small coins of aluminium.
palladium, osniium, electrum and other
ums. None of these modern metals or
their compounds found favor with the
commission. They were either too
light or too heavy, resembled gold or
silver too closely, and had other dis
advantages. AS new currency was
needed there was no other solution but
to go back to the time honored metal,
and q decree has now been signed for
the immediate coming of three million
francs worth of penny and half-penny
copper coins.

MYSTERY IN MURDER
OF FARMER ON ROAD
Galway Man Believed to Have Been
Killed as Result of Quar-
rel Over Land.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.


DUBLIN, February Il, 1911.
Owing, it is believed to a dispute re-
speeding twelve acres of stony land
Patrick Sheehan, farmer of Druma
coo, Galway, was murdered on the road
side.
He had been to Kilcogan to make a
few purchases. and was within a quar-
ter of a mile of home when he was
shot from behind stone wall. There
is slight breach in the top of the
wall. and apparently it was through,
this that the murderer took aim. The
victim must have been close to the
muzzle when the gun was fired
More than one hundred extra police
were at once drafted into the district
and four men We're arrested and re-
manded charged with completely In the
crime
The murder is considered to be a
direct outcome of the fact that part
of Sheehans tifty-acre holding is a
tWelVe-acre farm which fifteen years
ago was occupied by a distant relative
Mrs. Glynn. Owing $3.50, She was
threatened with eviction, and an agree
ment was drawn up between her and
Sheehan under which lie redeemed the
land and became tenant in trust for
her.
She continued to live with her two
sons in a cottage on smaller holding
of two acres, but some time ago she
brought the matter before the local
branch of the league and demanded
her land back. Sheehan refused to
give ii up unless he was repaid the
money he had lent and expended on the
land. The league refused to interfere
Sheehans house was afterward twice
fired into, and sh0s were fired at him
on his way home from Galway. For
the last two years, however, matters
had settled down.

Famine Death Rate Greater,

Owing to the political question involved
and the presence of foreigners along the
railways the plague in Manchuria is re-
ceiving greater attention than the famine,
but the death rate from the famine is
many times greater than that from the
plague. The famine is the result Of the
destruction Of the crops by fall of six
teen inches of rain in two days last Au-
gust in a district where the people ordinar-
lily have q hand-to-mouth existence. AS
soon as the first pangs of hunger were
felt the people left their homes, but many
of them were unable to get beyond the
borders of the devastation. They re-
turned and took up the death struggle be-
side their hOmesteads.

The arrest of Stribling created a
sensation such as this city has never
experienced. It occurred on the eve of
the expiration of his term as chief of
police of this city. The board of police
commissioners was to hold a meeting
tonight for the election of chief of
police and other officers. Chief Morris
was a candidate for reelection, and,
although he was being opposed by Po-
lice Sergeant Bell, every indication
pointed to his reelection.
While living in Harris county,
Georgia, in 1897. Stribling shot and
killed William Corbett. the motive for
the crime being the alleged improper
attentions on the part of Corbett to-
ward a member of Stribling's family

Killed an Unknown Negro.

Stribling came to Danville about six OF
seven years ago and was employed as d
night Waterman for the Southern Rail
way Company. The first known of him
here in public was in 1906, when he
killed an unknown negro, who from all
indications had attempted to enter into
his home and where his daughters were
sleeping. He was acquitted and the
negro, who was never identified, was
buried in potters field.
A few months after the shooting he
was elected a Iatrolman and after serving
for about six months was advanced to
chief.
While chief of police he and several
other officers shot to death young man

exonerated him at an investigation. \
few days ago he was fined in the mayor s

abused him.

publicity, and his picture has been pub

Recently a travelling man from Georgia
is said to have seen him on the streets
here and suspected his identity. He no.

a detective was sent here to investigate.
After verifying his Identification. requisi-

reouisition papers had been improperly
drawn. He quietly returned to Richmond
and had them corrected.
