Paris.-It is a remarkable tribute to
the 100-franc $500 banknote issued in

first attempt to forge one of them has
only just been reported.
The notes are printed on back ano
front, are complicated and artistic in
design, and in four colors-blue, pink,
black and yellow. The paper is pre-
pared with the greatest care, and
every time a chemical discovery is
made likely to hinder the work or

ing of the banknotes.
Since 1889 there have been only SIX
attempts to forge the $40 note, three
attempts to forge the 50-franc ($lo)
note, and one attempt to forge the
1,000-franc $4,000 note. The Bank oil

BARROW GAINS AND LOSES
JUDGE HUTTON MAKES TECH
NiCAL RULING IN HIS FAVOR.
franklin Testimony Expected to Ma
teriaIiy Bolster States Case
Against Indicted Lawyer.

Los Angeles, Feb. 2S.-Clarence S.
barrow, the Chicago attorney, in
dicted for jury-bribing has met with
both a loss and gain in court pro-
ceedings involving charges against
him.
The loss was the expected plea of
guilty which Bert Franklin, the form
err Mcnamara detective, entered to a
charge of attempted influencing of a
juror in the trial of James b. McNa-
mara, the dynamiter, now serving a
life sentence in San Quentin peniten-
tiary. Franklins plea was taken as
proof that he would be the states
chief witness against barrow
The gain was ruling by presiding
Judge George II. Hutton of the super
ior court that the district attorney
must furnish barrow with full tran
script OF the evidence upon which the
grand jury indictments against him
were based, before the court would
set the trial of the accused attorney.
The Franklin case came up first
Franklin pleaded guilty to having
attempted to influence Robert Balm,
the first juror sworn in the McNa-
mara case The charge of having &C
tually bribed Balm was dismissed and
the trial of Franklin on the accusa-
ton of having attempted to bride
George N. Lockwood, a prospective
juror in the same case, was postponed
for 80 days. The time for sentencing
him on the charge to which he plead
ed guilty was set for Friday and he
was released on his own recogniZance
SO far as that case was concerned.
1t was reported that his only punish
ment would be light fine. His bail
in the Lockwood case was reduced
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Darrows victory came in the after
noon. Judge Hutton at that time re-
versed his own former ruling that the
district attorney need not provide the
indicted attorney with full transcript
of the grand jury proceeding; in re-
versing himself the judge said he had
had time for more study of the case and
had come to the conclusion that
changes and notifications in the
statute since the supreme court ruling
upon which he had based his own rul-
ing were such that he could disregard
the decision Of the higher tribunal.
His last opinion nullified the appeal
from his former one that Darrow's
attorneys had made to the district
court Of appeals.

NAVIGATING TIGERS
inhabitants of corean.Manchu
Border in Constant Terror.
Villages Visited Almost Daily by the
Beasts and Absolutely Disregard
the Efforts of the Poorly Armed
Natives to Kill Them.

Observation-Disclosures from the
Corean-Manchu border bring startling
tales of the activities of the Siberian
tigers in that locality. According to
an English writer, who just has re-
turned from an extensive trip in that
region, the natives live in a constant
state of abject fear for their lives.
Some Of the villages are visited al
most daily by tigers, who, with an alb
solute disregard Of the efforts Of the
mildly combative natives and the
dozen or two small spears and arrows
that eventually, porcupine quill fash
ion, decorate their rough hides, smash
in hut doors and proceed to devour
everybody in sight. Unable to get
within striking distance of live prey
these tigers will visit the graveyards.
The natives of the smaller villages,
with their primitive arms, being pow
erless against these man-eating
beasts, big battues are organizing in
Seoul and are sallying forth in an eff
fort to rid the country of the 'noxious
vermin."
Hunting tigers along the Corean-
Manchu border is not the child's play
that trailing similar beasts in India
has become. There is none of the
difficulty and evaporation of having
to deal with a small army of native
heaters; for, unlike the jungle tiger of
Bengal, who sleeps away the day and
pounces by night on his prey at drink
ing places, the northern beast is at
his fullest activity by day. Instead OF
having to steal, from the security of
an elephant howdah, with sleepy,
surprised creature that covers, alarm
ed by the beaters, from the path of
your ponderous mount, one is out to
encounter a thoroughly well-awake
brute, ravaging the open countryside;
and you are, if you follow the Russian
custom, afoOt. One may rely on the
element of sport beng well to the
fore.
Well, fed, we'll exercised, long, 1.-the,
tawny and glossy, the Siberian tiger
