Close System Of Checking.

President Green told the Tribune reporter
that. since Louis had been in the employ
n, the banknote company for nine years.
no surely should have known OF the COM
pany's very close system OF checking. MT
Green said that there were about eighteen
hundred men employed in the plant In Inc
Bronx. and that for over twenty-five years
he had never known Of a successful robbery
~ banknotes As he said-and he smiled
LnovtnRly when he said it-perhaps
there had been many attempts at robbery,
hut until Louis clothed himself in Brazil

IN the hands OF an inferior employe.
out I'm Hoboken, In tho neishborhood
about the old-fashioned and small frame
stopped and balconied house where Louis
and his wife and eiBht-year-old daughter
Hazel live, the reporter had hard time
attempting TO tell any person who knew
the little printer that he had been accused
NJ stealing anything, much less Brazilian
banknotes In fact. they wouldn't believe
n and they had to be left unconvnced.
For instance, old Charlie Meyer, who has
run a grocery store on the corner of Mon
roe and list streets and has known Louis
and his wife over twenty years. almost
committed assault and battery on the re-
porter.
Louis Mues?" he gasped; little Louis.
What lives by the segund rear moor up
Louis, so gendle like a lamb2'
No. he simply would not listen to any
such wild talk from criminal news
baber loafer."
II seems that Louis and his wife have
lived in the neighborhood since they were
children, and there was none who could
think of anything Louis had ever done that
WAS wrong. with the possible exception OF
some boyish prank.
. She printer and his wife pay SB a month
for their four rooms. and some less hostile
nelghbors volunteered the superstition that
Louis's salary must have been at least $50
a week. because he was such good prtn-
ter and 80 faithful a one.

List OF tho Stolen Sheets.

But the stolen banknotes must not be
forgotten.
The police said that in Louis's room they
found nlnety-four sheets. OF eigh; notes
each, each note being for 30 milrcis; Zn
sheets-all the sheets bore eight notes-ot
% nilreis: lO4 sheets each note OF 90 mil
reis and one sheet with q face value OF
$40 mllreis. II IS said that mi'reis Is
worth BAG cents in American money
But while that seems TO be lot OF
money. the American Bank Note Company
officials said that the notes were worth
only the price OF the paper on ~hich they
were printed and that is why. when Mues
WAS arraigned in the Morrisania police
court Yesterday afternoon. he was charged
nv IN. company with stealing ONLY seven
cans NJ printers Ink and some uh'inlsheu
hanknotes, in all valued at SO.

he had ANYTHING 10 say, but Louis merely
on.ned wider his big brown eyes and re-
marked that he couldn't think OF anything

| fury.
President Green, of tho oanKnote 'oii'-
| pany. told the police that the only way IN
which tho printer could have optaiheo
money with the banknotes would have been
by giving them serial numbers and secur-
ing the signature OF the Brazilian ofnciai
who signs the banknotes during the pres
.nt administration. The police found
numbering stamp in Muess room, and this
led them TO believe that Mues intended 10

a foreign money dealer and then copy the

Less Disturbing Influence.

W. NJ. WINS. the former city Chamberlain
when asked his opinion on the single term
said he did not regard the matter OF great
practical Importance. There were certain
features OF ii. however. that he thought
might prove benehcal-the fact that there
would then be only two elections with their
disturbing Influences, where now there are
three being one OF them.
Even with this apparent advantage MI
WINS WAS not enthusiastic about the single
term.
-Four years Is long enough for poor
President" he declared. land eight years Is
a very good term for a good one
While he admitted that tho six-year term
would preclude the possibility OF third
term. he said he believed the stamp of dis
approval recently put by the public upon
the matter settled It for all time.
"Of course, II the President were not
eligible for reelection he would attend
more closely TO business Mr.. WINS said
He would not be tempted into the politi-
cal arena But we have done pretty well
under the present system and / can SEQ
no reason for changing 1t simply because
Theodore Roosevelt has proved himself a
natural rather than human phenomenon

tended to Forge Signature
of Brazilian Official.

Louis Mues. a round faced and mild eyed
little German, living in Hoboken with
wife and child, whose faithful work as a
PRINTER for the last nine years for the
American Bank Note Company In it* plant
at Hunts Point Road and. Tiffany street,
The Bronx, was frequently rewarded with
prize money, was arrested as he jett MS
machine Wednesday night for stealing
sheets of unsigned Brazilian banknotes
amounting to 1880 milreis, which, II ne
gotiable, would have been worth That
amount In Brazil and about S54, 40 ~ IN
American money.
The police said that he confessed he had
been taking unsigned banknotes away from
the plant for the last three months, but
the officials of the company declare tnat
they would have learned about 1t then IN
stead OF only a few weeks ago. They SAID
that the banknotes could not disappear I'M
noticed for more than two hours. AS soon
as they knew about II they set their own
secret service detectives on the job and
were surprised when Detectives FITZPATRICK
and Cooley, of Police Headquarters, told
them of the arrest Then the yellow haireu
little German printer was locked UP IN
cell In the Morrisania station mousse o'ei
night. while the detectives searched MS
rooms in Hoboken. When MUGS was
searched the detectives found ninety-four
sheets of the banknotes wrapped about his
stout little body under waistcoat and coat.
With the assistance OF Hugh Hayes, Ho-
boken's Chief Of Police. the printers rooms
were searched. and revealed a STACK OF
,ot.s NJ liberal proportions. II Louis had
been able to cash just few OF those sheets
NJ brazilian banknotes ne would have been
able 10 take a steamer to some port IN
that country and live under swaying palms
on the banks OF some blue, deep, running
river, or on the wide porch Of bamboo
hacienda, with three or four mint Ju'eps'
or even a stein OF rich amber colorod beer
while bedecked or begarlanded native dane
ing girls made merry, II he wanted to, but
persons who know the little printer de-
clared with some scorn that such would not
please him at all.

Among those adding their support yester-
day TO The Tribune's advocacy OF the SIX
year Presidential term. with ineligioliiy
for reelection, was Adolph Lewisohn. presi'
dent of the General Development Company
of No AZ Broadway, and director In nuiner-
Gus banks and large corporations.
For many obvious reasons l am in favor
Of a single six-year term for the Fresi-
dent" said Mr.. Lewisohn. 1T would LOT
one thing. lengthen the time between eiec-
tons. which are always aGitating the busl-
ness of the country. a single four-year
term is not enough for it hardly gives the
President time to work out his policies.
For instance, he hardly gets his Cabl-
net settled and understands its members
before. In case of his reelection. he has 10
undertake that great question all over
again.
The six-year term also would give
President time to evolve and mature me-
policies so that he would not have TO
think OF a second term
Lawyers Opinion Favorable.
Eugene A. Philbn. the former District
Attorney for New York County, said yes
terday that he was In favor OF the sins'e
Presidential term Of six years.
THE greatest benefit OF such provl-
sion" he said would be that It would
keep the President out OF politics. II he
were ineligible for reelection he would lot
be prompted TO serve his own Interests and
would devote his time exclusively to those
Of the public
1T is a well known fact" he continued
that under the present system OF gov
eminent the first term a President serves
is practically OF three years duration. Tho
first three years may be devoted TO tho
general good Of the country but tho fourth
is invariably spent I'm preparing for his re-
election. Such a condition is detrimental
and would be best remedied BY the ahop-
ton Of an amendment providing for the
single six-year term"
'I have not given the matter deep consid-
Grafton" Mr. Philbin said finally, but
90 not think such would materially alter
my present views"

AT DISPOSAL OF WILSON

these is Alvey A. Adee, second as
sistant secretary of state, who was
appointed to his present post in 1886.
Fourth Glass Postoffices.
The strongest pressure to have the
new president break through the civil
service or merit system will come IN
the case of the fourth-class postmas-
tiers and the consular service. Both
of these classes of officeholders are
protected under executive orders and
not by the statute, and they consti-
tute one of the most desirable fields
of federal patronage on account OF
the great number of offices involved.
There are more than 5000 fourth
class postoffices, many of them in the
South.
President Roosevelt was the first
executive to put the fourth-class post
masters under the civil service. He
covered all the offices of this class
in fourteen northern states into the
classified service shortly before his
term in the white house expired. MI.
Taft completed the reform last Octo-
Der by bringing all the remaining
fourth-class postmasters, about 3D.
600 of them, into the civil service.
MANY democrats have raised the cry
that Taft protected these fourth-class
republican postmasters because he
knew he was going to be defeated,
and they will demand that Wilson
revoke this order.
The Big PIums.
The great bulk of the $50, 900
or more which President Wilson may
distribute among his faithful follow
ers without breaking into the pres
ent civil service field comes from the
salaries of postmasters in the hrst'
second and third classes. The com
bined salaries of offices in these class
es amount to $26,O00,OOO annually
Here are some of the juiciest OF the
plums in this basket;
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia
and Boston, $4,000 each; Brooklyn
St. Louis, Cleveland, Baltimore,
Pittsburg, Detroit, Buffalo, San Fran
cisco. Milwaukee, Cincinnati, New
ark. New Orleans, Washington, Los
Angeles. Minneapolis, st. Paul, In
dianapnlis and few other cities,
$4,000 each. All of these are hrst-
class CfFtes.
There are all told 424 frst-class
offices. /, 1928. second-class offices, pay
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 year,
and $500 third-class offices, with sal
aries ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.
The best paying jobs within Presi-
dent Wilson's gift will be the ten
foreign ambassadorships, each with
salary of $17,50O, the nine cabinet
posts with SIP, 900 each, and the sew

used in the skyscraper contraction
Limetone is less expensive than mar
BILE, but is considered almost as en-
during. 1t also lends itself to less
formal architectural treatment, al
though its possibilities in this direc-
ton have not been utilized to much
extent in the Rockefeller home. The
house is after the style of the Italian
Renaissance, but severely plain.
The house stands directly on the
street, with no grounds in front. On
entering one goes into a large main
hall, of which an elaborate marble
staircase is one of the chief decora-
tive features. This staircase runs to
the top floor, being of great width all
the way up. The reception room is
on this floor.
On the second floor is the drawing
room, the most imposing room in the
house and taking up one entire side.
The other side of this floor is occu-
pied by the music room and the din
ing room.
On the third floor are Mr.. and Mrs.
Rockefeller's apartments and the Ii
brary, while on the fifth floor are the
suites for guests. The guest cham
bers are particularly spacious.
The sixth and seventh floors are to
be given up to the servants. In a
good many millionaires' mansions
the domestics have to be content with
small, stuffy rooms in the basement
or attic. But the Rockefeller SER
wants are to have as fine accommo-
dations as they could get were they
guests at a good hotel.
On the eighth floor is one of the
unique features of the house, the
private hospital 1t is an infirmary
of the most modern sort, with every
device which science has invented
for the treatment of the sick. Noise
can be absolutely excluded and the
air which enters is filtered. 1t is
stated Mr.. Rockefeller had had this
hospital built with the possible needs
of his children chiefly in view, so as
they pass through the usual sickness
es which are the lot OF youngsters
they will not have to be taken out
of the house to get the most adequate
treatment
The remainder of this floor is occu-
pied by squash court, gymnasium
and shower baths. The gymnasium
is to be fitted with apparatus for
children as well as for adults.
Throughout the interior the walls
are as plain as the exterior. The on
ly decorations are found in the mold
ings of the plaster. Everywhere the
same severe plainness exists.
There are two elevators. One is
for the servants and for freight,
while the other is for the family and
guests. The kitchens are in the base
ment. In the sub-basement is the
machinery plant for power and heat
ing.

service and other commissions, aver
aging about 5000 each; the collec-
tor of the port of New York, with
$1,000, and other important collec-
torships.
There are eight foreign ministers
receiving $4,000 each, "a receiving
$4,000 each, and one, a minister
resident, with a salary of 1000. The
grand total available for distribution
by Mr.. Wilson in the appointment
of United States ambassadors and
ministers will be $685. 900 divided be-
tween AZ appointees.
The consuls general in London and
Paris each receives $12, 900; those to
Berlin, Havana, Hamburg, Hong
kong, Rio Janeiro and Shanghai, S.
600 each; eight other consuls re-
ceive $4,000 a year; twelve $500,
seventeen $4,000, and there are 262
salaries ranging from $4,000 to $S,-
900. The salaries available annually
in the consular service, including
vice and deputy marshals and clerks,
aggregate $1,000,00O.
Officials of the customs service re-
ceive approximately 100000 a year
in salaries. There will be- about
100000 of patronage under the de-
partment of justice, including attor-
neys and United States marshals. The
ten interstate commerce commission
ers have salaries aggregating $780,

amounting to $1S,500 in the presi-
dents secretaries.

Has Nine Floors, Each With 1000

square FeeC OF space, ana Built
of Indiana Limestone.
One of the largest private houses
in New York is the structure being
built for John D. Rockefeller, Jr., at
10 West Fifty-fourth street, and
which is now almost completed. 1t
is expected Mr.. Rockefeller will move
into his new home by Christmas.
Nine stories in hight with the
ninth tucked away under the CENT
mansard roof, the house is higher
than the University Club diagonally
across the street from it at the Fifth
avenue corner, while it tops COM
pletely the home of John D. Rookie
Teller, Sr., directly to the east. The
house looks to the passerby more like
an apartment hotel or a small fiat
building than a private residence.
Each of the floors has 1000 square
feet. 1t has been estimated that the
average apartment house dweller in
New Yorks gets along with 1 200 feet
in all, so the space at Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's disposal may be guaged accord
ingly
A large part of the ninth floor has
been laid out for the enjoyment of
the Rockefeller youngsters. 1t is to
be an open-air garden, with grass
shrubs, and a sand pile in one cor
ner, where the children may romp.
Part of the ninth floor will be an
open-air roof garden for the adults,
opening off of which there will be
four open air sleeping rooms.
The fourth floor is also for the
children. Here they will have their
sleeping quarters, a dining room and
a huge playroom filled with all man
ner of toys and play apparatus. On
this floor will also be study room
for young Rockefellers. The whole
floor will be a child's domain, where
the children will eat, sleep, play and
work. There are four children

EXPECT BETTER TIMES

Central Americans Think Wilson's
Election Bodies for Good.
The people of Central America ex-

the misfortunes from which the peo-

He says that citizens of Central
American states as well as all pro-

the success of the democratic ticket,
and feel confident that under the
next administration this govern

tries will be governed by gigh pa
