HOLES IN GODDESS'S SKIRT
But Miss Liberty Is Said To Be
in No Danger of Falling.

The Statue of Liberty Is not going to fall
off her pedestal, Notwithstanding the fact
that the attention OF the Department Of the
East has been called to the fact that there
are holes I'm the skirt of the goddess.
Traces OF disintegration were noticed re-
Gently in the drapery OF the big figure by
Lieutenant Walter c. Jones, Of the signal
corps stationed az Fort Wood, on Bedows
Island.
Several army engineers were sent TO the
statue to examine II. The examination
showed there We're about fifty small holes
i'm the drapery of Miss Liberty In places
where the metal is thin. The big6est Of the
holes are no larger than the diameter of
revolver bullet and others are scarcely
larger than pnholes.
Captain Wallace. in command Of the post
on Bellows Island, said Yesterday the dis
indignation of the metal was not due TO it's
exposure ITO the salt I'm the moist air, IS
there was no more salt in the msts that
enshroud the statue than in the rain that
falls upon It.
Anything will wear out" said Captain
Wallace Yesterday. 1T IS only natural the
statue should wear out, but | believe il Is
good for one hundred years. | think the
defective plates can be removed slngly and
replaced without difficulty"

said. although there are men who say We
are Christians for what we will get in the
future life. Man may serve God because
he wishes 10 escape hell in this world and

Miss Lillian Graham. who was indict-

Mrs. Singleton. her sister. and Miss Con-
rad, who was indicted on the same
charge. They said last night that she
left their apartment. at Cathedral Park
way and Columbus avenue, soon after 10
o'clock on Saturday night and has not
been seen or heard from since.
There were many rumors yesterday as
10 the cause of her disappearance. Miss
Graham is appearing in vaudeville at
Hammerstein's, and ii was suggested
that il was a press agents scheme to get
notoriety. Mr.. Hammersten himself, as
well as his employees, holly denied this.
Others. including the police, believed
that she had left town of her own volt
tion, but would show up in due time.
AIRS. Singleton and Miss Conrad said
they are firmly convinced that she was
kidnapped

girls. sad yesterday that such was his
theory. II am going TO appeal to the

Jordan. Miss Grahams disappearance,
coming on top Of the Stokes letters cpl
sode, is peculiar, to say the least. | do
not believe she went away Of her own
accord, and this is no press agent af-

Mr. Jordan appealed to the Police De-
partment yesterday TO afford protection
to Miss Conrad and Mrs. Singleton.

Il know my sister was spirited away"
said Mrs. Singleton. Detectives have
been following us for days There were
four men standing across the street from
the stage entrance when we left the
theatre on Saturday night, but | don't
know Whether that Is significant or not
] am afraid that harm will come TO Lii
Ian. Those who took her may mis-
treat her or try to force her into po-
sition which would help discredt her

John Pollock. Mr. Hammerstefn's
nress representative. vigorously denied
that he knew the whereabouts of Miss
Graham or had had anything to do with
her disappearance. TT would cost me
my Job if l had" said he.
Mr.. Jordan was much disturbed over
this latest development in the Stokes
case. and both he and Mr.. Hammerstein
said they would have private detectives
working on the case if Miss Graham
was not found to-day. mr.. Whitman

Jordan. Il am going to lay everything

Inspector Hughes. Of the Central OF
fee said last night that the police had
taken only perfunctory action in regard
TO looking for Miss Graham. The police
did not take the case seriously at all.
They said she would let her friends
know where she is when she wants 10.
Miss Conrad went through their act

One letter, presumably addressed to
Miss Graham at Cincinnati, acknowl-
edged the receipt OF a telegram from
her and referred to having mailed her
some money, but the writer added he had
not heard one word from her. In this
same letter, or one written day or two
later, he said he had heard through
Mr.. Collins, the depressed Clarence of
the Dillingham; and Boss efusion,
that she was Ill, and asked If there was
anything he could do.
1t was asserted that some of the let
tiers which so mysteriously disappeared
from Miss Grahams trunk would have
shed much light on the financial relations
of the two. The defence expects to show
at the approaching trial that the refer
ences 10 money In Mr.. Stokes's letters
had to do simply with repayments of
money which, it will claim, Miss Graham
gave Stokes to invest for her.

on one occasion, il seemed, Mr.. Stokes
rushed to a station somewhere 10 meet
Miss Graham. He wrote Miss Graham
Of the incident as follows:

10 the depot to meet you. | waited for all
the trains from Cincinnati, but did not
see you. ] wish | had. II would have been
a great delight. Can / help you in any
way or do anything for you'
Mr.. Stokes frequently asked that last
question. Miss Graham said it was his
longest suit. In regard to the letters
she said: Mr.. McManus has said he
will produce the letter press copies at
the trial My lawyers may make him
produce them before that. 7 gave Ethel

them. too.

property of mine. Do you think it Is fair
for them not 10 return them to me?
Inspector Russell says | told him Mr.

tant papers. I never said anything of
the kind. and he knows II. My only ref
erence 10 Mr.. Littleton in my talk with
the inspector was to ask him IL l could

that was after Mr.. Russell began to use
insulting and abusive language.

Of them. have my idea of who was 1t
the bottom of II, and as soon as our trial
is over we are going to try TO have that
matter cleared UP. and some one will

Miss Conrad said neither she nor Miss
Graham could go anywhere without be-
ing followed. "They have got detec-
tives watching us all the time" she said.

Money Wears Out Quickly.

1t is the duty of each loyal subject no
merely to refuse gold coin that is under
a certain weight but to break it.
Every person." the act reads, "shall
by himself or others, cut break or deface
such coin rendered to him in payment
and the person rendering the same shall
bear the loss"
But in spite of this act it is a risky
business interfering with coins which you
may suspect to be under weight or spu-
rious. Some months ago Grimsby wo-
man offered half-sovereign in payment
of goods to local shopkeeper. The latter
put the coin in a testing machine, and as
it broke in two, refused to take it.
The coin, however, was pronounced by
experts to be perfectly genuine, and when
the case was taken into court of law
the shopkeeper was ordered to refund ten
shillings to the customer.
Money, both gold and silver, wears out
at startling rate 1t is reckoned that
there is usually hundred million pounds
in gold coin in England, very large
of which is locked in the
strong rooms of banks. Yet of that which
is in active circulation the wastage is so
great that during every - months 10000
pounds worth of gold and silver are rub
bed off into fine dust-Pearson Weekly.

In the passing of Carrie Nation, whose
death occurred Friday in a Leavenworth,
Kan. sanitarim, the country has lost a
woman whose picturesque career made her
known throughout the world as a saloon
smasher." Mrs Nations first saloon
smashing was done in a barroom at Wich-
tia. on December -, 1900. She remained
in Jail several days as result. In the
next three months. Mrs. Nation surprised
liquor sellers in various Kansas towns,
appearing unheralded and leaving trail
of ruined barroom fixtures wherever she
went. Aroused by the acts of the daunt-
less woman, the people of Kansas began
to demand that alla saloons be closed
Smashing parties were organized all over
the state As result of agitation, bills
were passed by the legislature strengthen
ing the prohibitory law.
Mrs. Nation. after her activities in Kan
sas. became lecturer and the editor of a
paper called the "Smasher's Mail" She
did little smashing outside of Kansas.
While lecturing in New York city, she
created excitement by appearing at horse
show in Madison Square garden and de-
manding that the occupants of the Van
derbit box contribute money for home
for drunkards' wives founded by her in
Kansas City, Kan Mrs. Nation made her
self conspicuous in many cities by entering
saloons and resorts and delivering talks on
the evils of drinking.

Redmond's Work.

burlington Cnppef.
The distinguished members of the
Vermont railroad commission, under
the persistent lead of their energetic
chairman, were opposed to the bill
which allows railroad companies to ex-
change mileages for advertising space
in the newspapers. Mr.. Redmond did
all that he could to defeat it in the
Legislature. That body however. made
it law and as result the readers of
newspapers have had the convenience
of the local time tables printed in their
home newspapers. The newspapers
were willing to accept mileages in ex-
change for their space because the mile
ages were supposed to be negotiable
and therefore practically the same as
cash.
The United States supreme court
however rendered decision which
made the law doubtful and the railroads
refused to issue mileages other than
those good in the state of Vermont
only. This was bad enough but now
the esteemed railroad commission, in its
deep wisdom, has ruled that the mile
ages are not good except when the
traveller who offers them is going from
one point to another wholly within the
state. That is, his journey must begin
and end in the state. If his journey
takes him across the state line his mile
age is not good even for the miles of
road he has Travelled wholly within the
state of Vermont
We suppose he could 90 to the state
line, stay over night and proceed in the
morning or he might have an hour or
SO of business at a convenient point

bitterly opposed and which became a
law in spite of the objections of his
august majesty.
The railroad companies, of course
deem il wise to follow the suggestion
of the railroad commission and they
have called in the mileages and will
mark them so that they will he accept
ed for the limited use the commission
has allowed. They have been rendered
about as near valueless as possible and
Mr. Redmond has thus succeeded in ae.
complishing what he evidently sought.

this that makes respect for il limited
