threats have been made against the
Oil King.
Several secretaries of the Rocke-
feller's estate admitted receiving let
ters from the Black Hand Society de-
manding large sums of money. The
letters stated that Rockefeller would
be killed unless the money was
forthcoming.

BANK NOTES TO BE SMALLER

The size of all United States cur

bly, will be reduced to one-third and
their designs reVolutionized by Secre-
tary OF the Treasury MacVeagh for
the sake of economics to the Govern
ment, convenience to the public and
safety against counterfeiting. This
decision practically has been reached.
1t is proposed to make the dimen-
tions by IA inches. The paper
money now in circulation measures
1928 by 3.04 inches. The designs of
all paper money-United States notes
and certificates and national bank
notes-would be systematized and
made uniform for every denomina-
ton. This move is expected to save
the Government about 100000 an
nually, and the national banks.

Battalion, Third Field Artillery, U.

practice at their camp, three miles
from here overlooking Lake Echo.
Battery E of Fort Myer, where the
other two batteries are regularly
stationed, are also here and the three
will then be in camp during the
month of September, working out
various problems" in their firing
practice.
Targets have been erected at vari-
Gus points, ranging from 1900 to g.
500 yards from the big three-inch
guns. The targets are arranged to
represent the position of the
"enemy's" infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery, and are both movable and
stationary.
If the people of this section take
kindly to the project it is probable
that Major c. P. Summerall, the COM
mander of the battalion, will recon-
mend to the war department the pur-
chase of some 80, 900 acres of practi-
cally waste land, now being used for
the practice, as a permanent practice

z MILES IN 40 MINUTES.

A good demonstration Of what
the Chase truck will be over Wayne
county roads was made on Friday
last by ]. j. Curt, Jr., of the An
thracite Motor company, of Scranton.
c. e. Bates, superintendent of the
Wayne Milling company, placed one
and a half tons of -four and feed on
the truck and he, w. f. Riefler and
Mr.. Curt mounted the machine and
drove to Tanners Falls. The run
was made in 40 minutes. The same
load requires team three hours to
cover the distance. This clearly
demonstrates the advantage OF the
truck over teams. 1t is a time-saVer
in that three or more trips can be
made by the truck while one is be-
ing made by a team. Messrs. Bates
and Riefier were elated over the
merits of the machine and are seri-
ously considering the purchase OF
