WYLIE SMITH JOINS
THE MEXICAN REBELS
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)

Especial Dispatch to The JournalO
Ell PASO, Tex. July 30.-"J. Wylie
Smith has Joined the Mexican rebels"
This statement was by Col. Demetrio
Ponce, chief of staff in Juarez, when
he gave orders to o. c. Turrel, a Pink
erton detective, to get out of the Next
can border today and stay out
Ponce Informed the detective that he
must return to FL Paso at once and
not return to Juarez; that there was
no chance of Smith being turned over
to him, as the former banker had
espoused the rebel cause, and would be
taken with the rebels to their new
capital, Casagrande.
Later Colonel Ponce confirmed this
statement 10 the correspondent of The
Journal, declaring that Smith had
agreed to join the rebel cause if the
rebels would not surrender him to the
United States and that they had agreed.
Colonel Ponce said that Smith would
be given some position of Importance,
probably the direction of clerks in the
governors office, or something like
that.

All Uncle Sans Paper Money
Will Be Made Materially
Smaller and Designs Sim
pIified.
(By Assorted Press)

WASHINGTON, July S1-The size of
all United States currency and national
hank notes probably will be reduced by
one third and their designs revolutionized
by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
for the sake of economics to the govern
nlent, convenience to the public and safe
tv against counterfeiting. This decision
practically has been reached by the sec
rotary.
1t is proposed to make the dimensions
by . - inches. The paper money now
in circulation measures 7.2S by S.O4 inches.
The designs of all paper money-United
States notes and certificates and national
bank notes-would be systematized and
made uniform for every denomination.
This move is expected to save the gov
eminent about 100000 annually and the
national banks which pay for the plates
for their notes and part of the cost OF
redemption about 100000 The econo-
mics would be effected in steel for the
plates in paper and in labor.
MAKING THE CHANGE.
For many months the only deterrent to
the step by executive authority has been

fSneciaI Dispatch to The JournalD

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
EATONTON, Ca, July 3l.-While en-
route 20 Oconee Springs Sunday after
noon the car of Mr.. l. X. Norman was
wrecked in front of Cumberland Lodge,
the country home of Mrs. Burr Brown.
Mrs. Norman was badly hurt and the
other occupants of the car, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. E. Hearne and their guest, Miss
Marie Kerr, of North Carolina, were
badly shaken up by the accident and the
nervous shock consequent to the wreck
of the car.
In going UP a rather steep hill in
front of the Brown home, the car began
to go backwards instead of forward
owing to some trouble with the machin-
cry. The occupants jumped from the car
lust before it ran into deep often on
side Of the road and backed on to MRS.
Norman, who was terribly bruised and
was at first thought to be seriously In
jured internally.
Mr.. Norman Immediately summoned
help for his wife, who was suffering in
tensely, then he managed to get his
car out of the ditch. In starting the
car uphill again Mr.. Norman. still
struggling with the machinery ana
steering gear of the car, lost control OF
the machinery, which again started the
car down hill at full speed with the
engine unintentionally reversed.
In running and attempting to stop the
car. Mr. Norman in an effort to grasp
the brakes missed them and caught an
other part of the machinery and was
thrown to the ground, while the car
sped on downhill until IL dashed
against a tree at the foot of the hill and
was almost, if not completely wrecked

SHAPE, SIZE AND DESIGN OF
GREENBACKS TO BE CHANGED

the belief that IT would be necessary
for congress to appropriate about 81
100000 to replace the national bank
note plates which have been paid for by
tho national hanks. This problem has
heen solved by a plan to have the gen.
eral design of all national bank notes
uniform and requiring only one engraved
plate for each denomination and to place
on the notes by surface printing the
name, location and charter number of
the bank. This would do away with
separate plates for each bank.
Eighteen months would be required to
effect the change by the preparation Of
the designs, engraving of the plates and
printing of the notes. To meet the OBJ
lection that for a time at least there
would be two sizes of currency in circu-
lation, it has been suggested that the
government print in advance a suffi-
cient quantity of the notes Of the new
size to be exchanged at the sub-treasu-
ries and national banks on a fixed date.
The change could be substantially ac-
complished within a few days, treasury
officials believe. There are now 10 differ
ent designs of currency The change
would reduce these to nine. Each de-
nomination would be characterized by a
distinctively American historical portrait
engraved in the center of the note. In
time the portrait would be distinguish
ing feature Of each denomination and
would be a safeguard against counter
feiting. especially the prevalent practice
of raising a note to a higher denomina-
ton.
The department is considering using
portraits as follows:
One dollar note, Washington; 81, Jefe
ferson; IS, Lincoln: s1O Cleveland; $50,
Jackson; So Grant; 800. Franklin; $500,
Chase and s., 900. Hamilton.

he being a weallling, the men stuck
together and without Il leader beat off

Then came charges of cowardice
against Captain Croker. I reported
the matter to the general, asking if he
could not stave off Troops execution
in the hope that something might turn
up to throw light on his case. Unfor-
tunately there was no court in session
to try Captain Croker, and there was
an imperative order to shoot Sergeant

overheard a conversation between two
of his men detailing plan to depose

they did not know how to go about it.
and, second, there was no officer in
the company fit to put in his place.
They finally decided upon Sergeant
Troop, who, though a noncommission-
ed officer, would be acceptable to all
if they could secure his appointment.
Troop had gone on his scout immedi-
ately after this conversation, and
when he was recaptured the tempta-
ton to get him out of the way was too
great for the captain to withstand.

TN 1868 l was detailed on court
martial to sit at Nashville for
the purpose of trying cases of
delinquency that had occurred in
the Army of the Cumberland. One
young fellow, Sergeant Milton Troop,
who was brought before us, engaged
my attention the moment | saw him.
His bearing was soldierly, and his
countenance bore the stamp of a
with desertion to the enemy.
His disappearance occurred while his
regiment was in proximity to the Con-
federateS. Later on the command at

the enemy, taking a number of prison
ers. among them the accused His sto
ry was that on the evening of his dis
appearance he had pointed out to his
captain that the command was liable
to be surrounded by the enemy. The
captain had declared that there was no
enemy near. Troop offered to ride out
and reconnoiter. The captain gave his
consent. Troop had not gone far before
he was called upon from the rear to
surrender. He had ridden between the
enemy's vedettes.
The captain, Croker, being called
fatty denied the whole story, declared
that he had had no such warning and
had not given the sergeant permission
or orders to scout. The matter rested
on question of veracity between the
two men. The scale was turned against
the accused by the producing of
scrap of paper found in his Inapsack
on which was written, Meet me to-
night at the bridge south of the tav-
ern." 1t was not signed, and as the
handwriting was manifestly disguised
it was impossible to tell whether the
writer was man or woman. At the time
the message was written the location
described was within the enemy's lines
When asked to explain this paper, the
prisoner at first refused to do so. but
afterward said that he had formed
the acquaintance of a young country
girl, who had appointed the meeting.
The captains evidence was so direct
and the accused's explanation so lame
that he was found guilty and sentenced
to be shot. AS he was led away he
made an exclamation which convinced
me of his innocence:
