ACQUIT LEEHAN OF CRIME
Mrs. Jasper Lynch, Lakewood (N. J.) Society Leader, Financed Trial For De-
 fense-May Never Solve Mystery.

The Turner murder at Lakewood. N. J., will probably pass into the long list of unsolved mysteries. Although certain leads were presented at the trial in Toms River. N. J., of William J. Leehan, it is not believed Ocean county will desire to incur further ex pense.
 Mrs. Jasper Lynch. the wealthy so- ciety leader who financed and direct ed the trial of Leelan, received many after the jury's yer dict. It was amid burst of ap- plause that Leehan was acquitted of the murder of Mrs Caroline Turner in April 26. 1911.
 The jury was out just one hour. The verdict had been predicted fol- lowing the failing of the state to bring forward more than the fiimsiest of circumstantial evidence to connect the accused with the crime.

LOSING SIGHT, SHE
 LEAPS TO HER DEATH
Girl Breaks Every Bone In Body In Nine Story Jump.

Threatened with blindness and de spondent because her sight failed to improve under the treatment of spe- cialist, Miss Anna Schaeffer, twenty two years old, leaped to her death from a ninth story window in New York. Her body struck a shed in the courtyard. Nearly every bone in her body was broken.
 Before Miss Schaeffer retired she told friend that she was afraid that in another year. She would be blind. She said she felt Respondent, but she made no intimation that she contem- plated suicide. In a testing manner and in an effort to encourage her to forget her fears she was told she was crazy.
 "Yes," she said, 'T fear I am from worry over my sight"
 While her friend was getting ready to attend to her duties she went into a room apart from the one in which Miss Schaeffer was dressing herself. When she returned a minute later Miss Schaeffer was absent. Calling brought no response. Her friend began a search and found a window open. The mangled body lay beneath.

The currency bill was passed by the senate 42 to 9.
 President Wilson later signed it, l making it law of the land. 1s \ Among the Republicans in the sen ate who voted for the bill as reported I by the conferees were Weeks. Norris and Jones. Poindexter, Progressive, 1 also voted for it. Senator La Toilette voted against it.
 Before leaving for the south to spend his holiday President Wilson was not at ! all disturbed by the cry of some of the I calamity howlers'' in both the senate and the house of representatives, but Is disposed to make light of the dismal 1 rrophesies of the legislators to his call ers.
 The president is confident that with the currency bill becoming a law af- fairs throughout the country will con- tinue in state of prosperity and that business conditions will better them selves.
 MT. Wilson reiterated his pleasure at the telegraph dissolution and his opin- ! ion that other business interests were showing a disposition to comply with the law. He said that his letter to Jame c. McReynolds, attorney gener- al, expressing this belief was due to his close observance of this condition.
 The leading provisions of the curren-' cy bill. the signing of which President Wilson invited many persons to wit ness, are:
 The establishment of a reserve banking system, consisting of from eight to twelve regional reserve banks with capitaI | equal to per cent of the capital and sur plus of the national banks of each dis trict, and such state banks as may enter the system, aggregating approximately S1O0, 900 GOO.
 The stock reserve banks to be subscribed by member banks, and, if an additional amount is needed, by the public.
 Total reserves to be paid into reserve banks by national banks, including esti- mated deposit of the government, $672. .000. GOO.
 The system to be under the control of federal reserve board of seven members 1 including the secretary of the treasury and the comptroller of the currency
 Federal reserve banks to be directed by a board of nine members, six appointed by the banks and three by the federal re- i serve board.
 l Federal reserve banks to issue fedegg notes by rediscounting commercial ninety day paper and agricultural bills and to buy and sell in open market acceptances, to deal in gold coin and bullion and to es- tablsh rates of discount under supervi- sion of federal reserve board.
 Against reserve notes reserve banks are required to maintain 40 per cent gold re- serve and B per cent reserve in gold or lawful money against deposits. Reserve notes are redeemable at the treasury iu gold or at reserve banks in gold or lawful money.
 Two per cent bonds are to be refunded at the rate of $36,00OO00 a year, beginning two years after establishment of system. and reserve notes and one year treasury notes of 8 per cent hondS to be issued in lieu thereof
