MAY REDUCE SIZE
j., OF MONEY

Reduction Of the size OF the paper
currency of the country looks like a
certainty
For a long time this subject has
been discussed. Objections have been
raised and demolished, and others
raised and assailed. Secretary of the
Treasury Macyeagh has kept at the
question, and has had Il gone into
thoroughly by experts. The indlca-
tons now are that the reform Is going
to be brought about before any great
length of time.
The Treasury Department does not
need special authority to make the
changes. Secretary MacVeagh, how
ever, has had a committee to go into
the matter, One reason for the APP
pointment of the committee was to
consider any objections to reduced
currency from bankers, business men,
or others. Another reason for II was
to work out the details of the plan
which Secretary MacVeagh hopes to
adopt.
The result of the investigations of
the special committee named by the
Secretary is favorable to reduction In
size OF bills and to systematization of
designs. To begin with, It is estimat-
ed that about 100000 could be saved
annually by making smaller bills.

"FRAUD!" CRIES
The COLONEL


CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 9.-Nothing
but a grave silence met the denuncia
lions Of the Taft men on the National
committee hurled at their heads by
Colonel Roosevelt. Not one of them
would make any statement regarding
the Rough Riders attack Of Saturday
ror could any of them be induced to
discuss the general situation.
Over In the Roosevelt camp, how.
ever, things were different. Mr.. Dixon,
campaign manager for the Colonel, de.
clared that he is not going to quit the
fight until after the contests have
been decided one way or the other,
contrary to a report which has been
current He may not quit then, he
added
or the political situation he had a
good deal to say. Among other things
he asserted that the Taft men on the
committee are planning TO throw out
the Roosevelt delegations from Cali.
fornia, Washington and South Dakota.
Missouri's delegation also hangs In
che balance and may be found wanting
when the convention roll Is called,
said the Senator.
Roosevelt's Bold Words.
OYSTER BAY, l.. l.. June 9.-Theo.
dore Roosevelt yesterday issued n
proclamation. addressed 10 the Re.
publications of the Nation, In which
he calls upon them, in the name of
the great founders of the party, to
repudiate the nomination Of President
Taft. If at the Chicago convention to
open on June Is. the President secures
the majority of the votes.
If President Taft be declared the
winner of the nomination at the Ma.
ti6nal convention, declares Mr.. Roose.
welt In his call TO the party, II will be
in defiance of all Justice.
Earlier in the day the former Presi.
dent declared in a statement to the
press that the action of the National
committee in deciding the Alabama
contests In favor of the President was
q naked theft"
Predicts Roosevelt Bolt.
CHICAGO, H., June 3. -- Repre-.
sentative Mckinley. manager Of the
Taft campaign, In n statement. points
to the fact that nine-tenths of the
protests filed by the Roosevelt sup.
porters have been thrown out by the
unanimousvvote of the National com.
mittee as proof OF the fact that there
is no basis upon which Mr.. Roosevelt
can base his cries of Fraud"
He predicts that Mr.. Roosevelt will
bolt the convention before the vote on
the nomination Is taken, taking this
way of saving his face from the al.
most certain defeat that faces him.
