COLE SURPRISED AT
 O'NEAL'S SUMMONS
Defendant in Murder Case Knows
 Nothing About Governor Being Summoned

T knew nothing whatever about it un- til I saw 1t in the paper this afternoon" stated c. Henry Cole last night at the county jail when spoken to in regard to Gov Bmmet O'Neal being summoned as a witness by the defense in his trial on a charge of murdering Felix Ellard near Lewisburg March IS.
 My attorneys, Bowman, Howard & Weaver, have never consulted me on the subject of summoning Governor ONeal, and I don't know to what he can testify. Surely, no material facts, as he knows nothing about 1t except that which has subsequently, developed.
 However. think can see through the plan. No, don't think that 1t is a plan of MT. Bowman's to get the governor or the stand and embarrass him. If ]
 thought for one minute that this was the case, I would not permit his being sum- moned.
 Since I read the newspaper story l have heard several say that the gover-
 nor could not be compelled to testify. but I think that inasmuch as he Is to be summoned he might appear and tell what he knows. He owes that much justice to me for he has employed some of the best counsel in the state for the especial purpose of prosecuting me. But the story of his being summoned as a witness by the defense was as much of surprise to me as 1t was to any of you"

A CENTURY OF PEACE
A Few Data on the 1915 Anniversary
 of the Battle of New Orleans

From the Nebraska State Journal
 The battle of New Orleans was fought January 8, 1s15 Just before. the news not yet having reached this country. the Ghent treaty of peace with Great Britain had been signed. From that time to this the United States has been in contact and competition with Great Britain. We have touched shoulders with a British colony over nearly 3000 miles of boundary. And yet, two years from next January hundred years of peace between the United States and the rest of the English speaking world will have been com pleted.
 Plans have been two years under way to celebrate, this centenary. Legislatures and Congress will be asked to, o,recognize the fact that two great nations have lived side by side without fort or war ship between them and without a hint of conflict these hundred years The rela- tions between this country. and Canada, including the disarmament agreement that has left the Canadian frontier with out forts or warships, furnish the worlds most convincing evidence of the possi- hilitv- of international disarmament and international peace.
 The moral effect upon this peace move ment of. such a celebration is bound to be great. The celebration will take various forms. monument will be dedicated on the battlefield of New Orleans, the last battle fought and ever to be fought there is reason to believe, between the two great English speaking nations. An in- ternational memorial bridge coupling the United States and Canada is planned. The San Francisco exposition will come at a time to furnish setting for another cele- bration. There will be somewhere an in terrational celebration. Tbe world will be given no chance to overlook the great lesson of this centennial. sA

From the New York Times.
 The green banknotes of our paper cur rency measure each 9.M by FPS inches; they will all be reduced to PIP by inches. like the Philippine paper money, if the plan adopted by Secretary MacVeagh s committee is approved by Congress. The smaller size of notes would save the gov ernment s1,0o0,0e0 a year, since five of them could be printed where four are now, with the same labor in wetting, ex- amining, counting, drying, numbering, sealing and separating With uniform general design for all banks and the re- auction of 19 portraits and historic fig ures to nine, the engraving might be done with 200 plates wheresov l20oo are now in use The National City bank says that enough notes of the smaller size and of all denominations might be prepared in advance, so as to effect the exchange at once, and the business pub lie would not be inconvenenced by the two sizes of paper currency.
