Tremendous Task COnfrOntS
New Treasurer.
Record of Funds and Securities
Must Be Taken.

! Washington, March 24.-The great
est count of money and securities in
the history of the world will begin
at the treasury department. on April
l. when John Burke, former governor
of North Dakota, takes the cath of Of
flee as treasurer of the United States,
succeeding Carmi a. Thompson.
To safeguard the nations wealth,

, notes, coin and securities in the treas

a committee to take charge of the
vaults and each vault and safe will be
sealed on April 1 in preparation for
the count. Only enough money to
keep the wheels of government revolv-
ing will be laid aside for daily use
while the counting is in progr -ss.
1t generally requires from two TO
five months to make the count. A
government mathematician has flg-
ured out that it would take one per-
son 800 years to verify Mr.. Thompson's
records. Ordinarily every note, bond
and other security is counted, stored
in bags containing $1,000 each. usual

stolen during the official count. A
laborer engaged to lift the heavy bags
of coin substituted leaden disks Tor
several dollars in several bags, neces-
stating five months count of every
dollar of the $115, 100000 in the big
silver vault. The laborer was con-
victed of the theft and the retiring
treasurer relieved by congress OF the
responsibility for the loss. When Car
mi Thompson succeeded Lee Nc
Chung as treasurer he received over
S130O,OOO 1000. He must account for
every cent of that amount, plus the
millions he has since received, minus

While the treasurer of the United
states hanadles no money personally,
he is the only bonded official in his
office. His $1,000 bond covers every
subordinate, and for many years
treasurers have urged congress to
order the bonding of the employees
who actually handle the $6,0O0,0OO,0O0
which pass through the treasurer's Of

Shawnee Couple Sought in
Many Cities for License.
Found 1t at CoffeyyiIle-
Groom, IS; Bride, Is.

They wanted to marry. And no one
would marry them. They Travelled
over a good part of the state of Kan
sas, and journeyed down into Mis-
souri, in search of a license. Despite
the charms of the would-be bride and
the oaths of the would-be groom. the
probate judges remained inexorable.
They were in spair-George Rich
ard. a six-foot 1S-year-old, and Ethel
Murphy, q pretty girl who is just 5.
Finally luck turned and the pair re-
joiced.
Ethel is the daughter of R. F. Muir
ply, a prominent Tecumseh farmer,
and the sister of Mrs. B. F. Cope of
steadiest hands on an adjoining farm,
and has been gazing tenderly at Ethel
for many months. Mrs. Murphy died
several years ago. the older sisters
married and the care of the household
devolved upon little Ethel. Doubt
less she preferred strolling with
George to washing dishes.
Her fifteenth birthday came on
Wednesday, March 5. The following
Sunday she went walking and never
came back. Her father was frantic.
Presently it was discovered that young
Richard had also disappeared. The
runaways were traced to Kansas City
where they applied for a license and
were refused. 1t was rumored that
similar heartrending occurrences had
taken place in Lawrence, Atchison
and Leavenworth.
Same story everywhere. The elop-
ers sta1ked into the office of a pro-
bate judge with dignity.
Wed like a license to get mar
RED" George explained with assur-
ance.
"Um-." the clerk meditatively- eyed
the youthful pair. Ethel pushed back
her brown curIs and stared haughtily
with wide blue eyes at the skeptical
official
We're -21 and 49," pursued George,
nonchalantly. NWe're-'
Sorry" responded the stolid clerk,
noting EthePs childish anxiety. 1--WE
can't issue the license. You're too
young"
Ethel was still wearing the dark
frock and red sweater in which she
had left Tecumseh. She wept copi-
ously and was comforted by the
groom.
Finally they stopped in Coffeyville
George had gained wisdom with tribu-
lation. He is six feet tail and broad
shouldered. He went to the office of
the probate judge alone. He found
an unsophisticated maiden acting as
clerk. He asked for the license, and
got it. They were married on March
13 by the Rev. Arthur Long of Cof-
feyville.
They're as happy as two birds in
a nest" reported Sheriff L. L. Kiene,
who has been Investigating the case
George has position in a brick
yard and they've rented a furnished
cottage near Coffeyville''
Mr.. Kfene looked up the affair this
morning, found they were really mar
ried and en- route for forgiveness.

Richmond went down to defeat yes
terday before the A. B. C.'s of Indi-
annapolis. Al Whitridge, who was to
pitch the game for the locals, failed
to appear on the grounds, Walter was
out of the game with sprained shout
der and no other pitcher could be
found when the game was called.
Richmond decided not to disappoint
the large crowd of fans and Moore
was taken from the outfield and put
on the mound. He proved to be easy
picking and Summers was put in his
place in the fourth inning. The score
ran up SO rapidly against the local that
Summers was taken out and Myers
put on the mound in the sixth. The
final score was 10 to Z. Only last Sun

National News Association

PITTSBURG, Penn, Sept. 1.-Two
deals have been made in the National
League only recently that have caus-
ed considerable gossip among the
players in the organization. They are
the transactions in which the New
York Giants obtained Catcher Larry
Mclean from the St. Louis Cardinals
and Pittsburg accepted Intielder DO
Ian for Bobby Byrne and Howard Cam
nitz. The latter trade is the later of
the two and it has aroused more as
constituent than the other. Both Byrne
and CamnitZ are still first-class play
ers and have been doing we'll for the
Pirates, according to the records. No
one expected that Fred Clarke would
dispose of them for DOlan, whom Man
ager Doom, of the Phillies, did not ev-
er think enough of to use as regular
or even a pinch hitter Dolan was Civ
en- chance in the spring, but was so
weak with the hickory he was placed
on the bench. Yet Clarke declared he
desired him because of his hitting and
his promising traits.
Since that deal was made the report
is going around that Barney Dreyfus,
owner of the Pittsburg team, is inter
ested in the Philadelphia club, the
same as was Charles Murphy, of the
Chicago club, when Horace Fogel was
President of the Phillies. 1t is intimat-
ed that in giving Red Doom Byrne and
Camnitz, Dreyfus is striving to assist
the Phillies to make a desperate and

Alberts is considered the best semi
