PICTURES OF PROMINENT
MEN ON NEW MONEY

WASHINGTON, d. c. Special
Robert Q. Bailey, Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury. has completed a list
Of former Presidents and other prom
inent men whose names are TO be
used on a new series of paper money
that is about to be issued.
The face of George Washington viii
appear on the 81 bills; Thomas JEFF
ferson on the 50 bills; Abraham Lin
coin on the SIS bills; Grover Cleve-
land on the $40; Alexander Hamilton,
$50; Andrew Jackson, $50; Benjamin
Franklin. 500; John Marshall, $500;
Henry Clay. $1,000; John Marshall,
$500; Henry Clay, $1,000, and L. S
Grant, $4,000.
1t is Mr.. Bailey's plan to have all
three branches of the Government
executive, legislative and judicial, rep
resented on the paper money. All OF
the bills of the same denomination,
under the new plan, Will bear the
faces of the same men.
Officials at the Treasury Depart
ment admit that the most dangerous
form of counterfeiting is bill raising
BY having bills of the same denomi-
nation bear the same portraits ii
would be impossible for anyone to add
another cipher to $40 bill and pass
it as a 500 bill. Another plan OF
the Treasury Department to check
counterfeiting is to have the backs
of the bills alike.

GRANT RESPITE TO
CONDEMNED MAN
GOVERNOR WILL LOOK INTO
THE MENTAL CONDITION OF
FRED ARLINGTON.

r c II NJ o n ID, V ~, Special
Governor Mann Wednesday allowed a
brief respite TO Fred Arlington. the
houston prisoner now in the death
cei at the penitentiary awaiting eX-
ecudon for the murder OF Thomas
Dunn.
According to the judgment Of the
court. Arlington was TO die October
"a, but as some doubts as TO his
sanity have arisen the Governor re-
spited him until December 9th. Mean
while he will look thoroughly into the
case.
The homicide for which Arlington
was held accountable was due to a
woman, and the circumstances attend
ing the murder were shocking. Dunn
was shot in the back. and after he
had fallen PROSTATE his slayer leaned
over him and shot him second time
i'm the face.
Tho murderer escaped and made
his way TO Indianapolis. where APP
parently his conscience began work
ing on him. At any rate, he allowed
detectives in that city TO persuade him
TO surrender, and came back to Hall
fax to give himself up.
Before quitting Virginia Arlington
conceived a rather neat scheme to
create the impression that he was
dead. lie procured a lot of bones
and partially buried them in an isO-
lated place with an old suit Of his
clothes and his pistol The murder
er's idea was to make people think
he had died in the field and that the
! body had long lain undiscovered.
There are many persons in Halifax
| who say that Arlington comes of a
peculiarly eNcitable family. He has 2
brother now serving a term in the
penitentiary.
