The girl is described as a striking

Falconnet told of her failure to get
her daughter away from the infu-
ences of the negro.
Johnson made an absolute denial Of
unduly friendly relations with the
young woman. He denied the report
that his infatuation for the Cameron
girl was one of the causes for the sui
eide recently of Mrs. Duryea John
son, the champions wife.
Miss Cameron was taken into Gus

100000 SAVING
BY WASHING BILLS
TWELVE TREASURY LAUNDRY
MACHINES BEING BUILT ON
RUSH ORDERS.
CLEANS 1000 NOTES AN HOUR
Total Cost Of Operation, Including
Asserting and Counting, Estl-
mated as so Cents per 1000
Girls Can Do Work.

Washington.-Robert 0. Bailey, as
sistant secretary of the treasury, ex-
poets to have the new money laundry
installed and in working order within
two months Twelve of the machines
are being built under rush order.
The first three to be finished will go
to New York, Chicago and Boston.
The essential feature of the new
machine consists of tiers of copper
rollers set in an oblong framework,
which fits snugly into a 10Ogallon
tank. The tank is filled almost to
overlooking with a solution in which
is dissolved a special soap, the for
mula of which was discovered by fed
eral officials. Passing back and forth
over the rollers are two endless
bands, fitting one on top of the other,
which appear to be a web Of cotton
duck Between these two belts travel
the bills to be cleansed.
The washing or SOUNDING is accom-
plished by the passage over the sue
cessive rollers, all of which are SO
shaped as to impart peculiar rub
bling motion to the soiled currency.
This action is repeated several times
until all surface dirt is removed. The
bill is then swished back and forth in
a similar manner through a clean
water of a 6O-gallon rinsing tank
Another band carries the bin over
a series of gas heated drums that
dry the paper In less than two and
one-half minutes after it has started
on its cleansing journey, the rejuve-
mated bank note is automatically de-
livered in a tray A supplementary
machine irons the bill by passing it
over duck aprons above heated drums
and then subjecting it to the pressure
of compressed paper drums.
Two girls can operate the machine.
1t has a capacity of 1000 bills an
hour. A pound Of soap is required to
wash 1000 bills. The total cost of
operation, including asserting and
counting, is estimated to be within so
cents a thousand.
The machines are expected to save
the government a million dollars an
nually. They will likewise prove an
economy to bankers throughout the
country.

the harbors to commercial and pri-
vately owned vessels Of foreign regis
ter, as well as to the warships of for
eign powers, unless the secretary Of
the navy sanctions their entry.

O'Fallon, Ill.--While rs residents Of
the town were held at bay, FIVE rob
bers, working deliberately, blew the
safe in the postoffice here and es-
capped.
Two lookouts kept the spectators
covered" with revolvers while the
other three men applied so heavy a
charge of nitroglycerin to the safe
that the door was blown across the
street, taking with it the front Of the
postoffice building.
Arthur Baker, who was asleep in a
barber shop chair across the street
from the scene of the robbery, was
struck on the head by fragment Of
the safe door and injured
While one of the lookout was warn
ing Miss Ethel Willhite, telephone
operator stationed directly above the
postoffice, to retire from the window
where she was watching proceedings,
the other guard was offering to fight
a revolver duel with Charles Schuetz,
baker, who had been awakened by
the explosion and had gone to the
scene. Schuetz did not accept the
challenge.
Robber Threatens Woman.
Mrs. Henry Scherber, who lives
near the postoftice, attracted by the
explosion, opened a window in her
home aud peered out. One Of the
guards saw her and aimed his re-
volver at her head. do you want to
keep your head on your shoulders"
he asked her. She lost no time in
slamming down the window.
The postmaster, w. A. Koenigstein,
stood by, helpless, and saw the trio
blow the safe.
The men worked calmly and DELHI
erately, while the residents, huddled
together in a frightened group, wero
pnwerless to make any efftrt to stop
them.
After the bandits had completed
their work they warned the spectators
against following them and walked
away, escaping ever the right of way
of the Louisville & Nashville railroad.
No attempt was made to follow them.
The sheriff Of the county was notified
by telephone and went to O'Fallon
from BellevAle In his auto. With dep
uties he now is searching the vicin-
ity of O'Fallon for some trace Of the
five men.
An examination of the safe showed
the men secured $500 in cash, about
$500 in stamps and a block of money
orders.
The fact that this is the fourth re-
cent postoffice robbery in the vicinity
leads the authorities to believe all
have been the work of the same gang.
On each occasion the same tactics
were pursued. Entrance in all in
stances has been effected through a
rear door.
On October II the postoffice safe
at Piasa, ILL.,, was blown and money
and stamps amounting to about $500
taken.
The same night the postoffice at
Shipman, near Piasa, was robbed and
a large sum distracted from the safe
after it had been blown.
Wednesday night the postoffice at
Otterville, near Shipman, wss en-
tered. 1t is believed the same gang
then proceeded to O'Fallon.
