BILL TN THE MAKING
Secretary Of Treasury MeAdoo, with
Assistance of Secretary of State
Bryan, at Work.

The Wilson currency bill is being writ
ten by Secretary of the Treasury Nc.
Adoo with the assistance and suggestion
of Secretary OF State Bryan. Immedi.
ately upon the formation of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency
with Representative Carter Glass of Vir-
GINA as chairman, the Wilson currency
bill will be placed in its hands, the
Presidential whip will crack as il
cracked when the Wilson-Underwood
free trade tariff bill was launched, and
the new measure will be on it's way to
be damned through the House.
The President is very solicitous about
the personnel OF this House Committee.
There are five or six vacancies to be
filled. The names of possible members
have been submitted to the Presi-
dent. If they pass the examination he
will put to them they will be stamped
20. X"
Representative Glass is the only men,
Der of Congress who seems to he in
touch with the President on the subject
of currency legislation. None OF the
Senators on the Banking and Currency
Committee have been consulted by Pres
ident Wilson. AS in the case of the
tariff bill the President will go ahead
with his own theory and then notify
the House and Senate that he desires
their acceptance.
With House Committee of his own
selection. he will have smooth sailing
in that body. Mr.. Bryan is expected to
incorporate many of his views in the
currency reform legislation.

Greater Than Last.

A statement given out by Secretary OF
Commerce William c. Redfeld indicates
that the quantities of manufacturers
materials imported into the United
States during the present fiscal year
will greatly exceed the imports of last
year. and will exceed the mark of any
previous year in the history OF our coun-
try, If the figures for the nine months
ended March. 1sls be any criterion. OF
the ten important articles forming the
bulk of the imports Of such materials
Il. e., cotton. wool. fibers. silk, tin, cop
per. rubber, hides, lumber. and tobacco
the imports will. with but two excep-
tons, exceed the former high record
mark.
The quantity of raw cotton imported
during the first nine months of the pres
ent fiscal year was over 100, 900 900 pounds,
as compared with $1,000. 900 pounds in the
corresponding months of last year; 1853,
COG, 900 pounds of wool were received. as

ON BELASCO SCREEN
Journey that Ended in Tragic Death
Of Explorer to Be Seen
In "Moviesn

At the Belasco Theater this week there
Will be seen the results obtained with
the motion picture camera by Mr.. Her
bert G.. Pointing. member of the Scott
South Polar expedition. From the

at the end of a days march, and then.
with the temperature at 30 degrees be-

LID" TO BE SHUT DOWN
States Attorney Hoyne in Charge Of
Campaign to Clear City Of
Confidence Men.

Chicago. May l1.-Gamblers. confidence
men, clairvoyants who have poured
into Chicago since the police shake-up
following the Rosenthal murder in New
York were given a severe jolt today
when it became known that the police
had dared to arrest Barney Bertsche
AS proprietor of a West Randolph Street
dive. as ex-convict. as ward policeman
Bertsche is said by States Attorney
Hoyne to have become the protector of
gamblers. thugs, wire-trappers, and all
kinds of confidence men, and for many
months the protection money paid to
him appeared to provide immunity to
the operators here.
His seeming power to grant immunity
enticed a crowd of New York criminals
to this city when they found tina. the
protection game was UP in New York
for the time being. Bertsche is charged
by the States attorney with being the
head of a great criminal trust. and his
arrest is causing the crooks much anxiety
as to where to move next.
With Bertsches arrest the bubble of
protection for criminals in this city has
burst.
There is now rush to cover as in
New York. said a detective in charge of
the campaign Of the States attorney to-
day.
"Bertsche rented rooms all over the
city for the clairvoyant swindlers. He
left the yeggmen, pickpockets. and burg
lars to the direct supervision of his
brother, Joe Bertsche. who is also for
mer convict. The understanding was that
Barney would take care of Joe's friends.
Before we finish with this case" de-
clared States Attorney Hoyne this after
noon. I'VE will connect Bertsche with
criminal gangs in New York, Philadel-
phia, and other of the big Eastern cities.
when Bertsche appears in court i in
tend to ask that his bond be fixed at
$4,000 for the present warrants against
him, those brought by Mrs. Hope l..
McEldowney, of La Crosse, who was
swindled out of a s15.500 check. II his
friends raise that amount, there will be
other warrants and more bail necessary.
Bertsche is too big a man In the crimi-
nal world to allow freedom

EVER SEE A MULE-FOOTED PIG |!
A. l.. Benedict, Who Lives in New
Canaan. Conn. IIas Some.

New Canaan. Conn, May IA year
ago residents of New Canaan made
piigrimages to Peter Chicks farm to
see a "two-faced pig" which proved
TO be a hoax.
Now they are going 10 A. L. Bene-
diets place, in East Avenue, to look
at a litter of pigs, several of which
have mule hoofs-no hoax this time.
according to Justice of the Peace F. S.
Dawless, who says he is ready to make
AFFIDAVIT to it.
The late DIR. p. II. Hiss. the eminent
New York bacteriologist, found in Ohio
and brought to his summer place here
a mule footed hog, which is now owned
by Edwin Bouton, superintendent of
the town poor farm.
1t is the sire of two litters of pigs,
half of them mulehoofed or club
footed. One Of these filters can be
seen at the country place here of A. v.
Barnes, OF the publishing firm of A. S.
Barnes & Co.
These mule-footed pigs are said to
be immune from hog cholera, but the
only basis for this claim seems to be
the quip that the mule in them kicks
out all the cholera germs.

DEPARTURE GIVES RELIEF.
Fifteen Burns Detectives Mysteri-
ously Spend Week in City.

The departure of about fifteen Burns
detectives from the Capital yesterday
after weeks stay brought relief to
the minds of the police. Just what
they were doing here was a mystery
to the authorities in general.
About half the sleuths stopped at a
Pennsylvania Avenue Hotel, and the
others were distributed among several
prominent hostelries. 1t was rumored
that they would soon draw a net
around several prominent men, but
Maj. Richard Sylvester, Superintendent
of Police, was positive that such was
not the object Of their visit.
He said last night that they came
here merely to aid in civil matter Of
no great Importance The Burns
agency does much work for the Amer
lean Bankers Association.

NO CARS RUN IN THE CITY
Riots Mark Day and the Outlook for
Settlement Is Poor-Crave
Disgers Out, Too.

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 1L-Cincinnati
tonight faces the greatest strike in its
history. With practically 1000 street
car employees on strike, affecting a
complete tie-up Of the street car serv-
ice for the last twenty-four hours, and
the importation of $50 strike-breakersr
there is imminent danger of a serious

eral strike of all crafts affiliated with
the building trades will follow. Skilled
workers in the shoemaking industry.
handlers Of freight, handlers of lum-
Der. and grave diggers have walked out
during the past week.
Early this morning, following the ar
rival OF $50 strike-breakers, an attempt
was made to operate the cars, which had
not been moved for nearly twenty-four
hours.
This attempt was the signal for the
first serious outbreak on the part of
sympathizers. and as result two
strike breakers are in the City Hospital.
One of them, Charles Weber, motor
man, forty-fve years old, hailing from
Chicago, is believed to be fatally injured.
The other is James Burns, motorman.
of this city.
Strike-breaker struck by Brick.
Six cars were sent out and in every
instance they were met by thousands OF
strike sympathizers, whose combined ef-
forts forced them back to the barns.
The car run by Weber was bomparded
near the city hospital and he was struck
with brick, thrown by one of the
crowd
The car run by Burns struck an OBJ
struction on the track and it was de-
rallied and later set on fire, which was
quickly eXtinguishcd.
Conference after conference was held
today and the only logical solution at
this hour seems to be the contemplated
filing of a petition in the Federal Court
tomorrow asking for a receiver for the
Cincinnati Traction Company. This
step. II is said, will be made by the
street railway company. which has leased
its property to the traction company.
If such a move is made. it Is said that
the cars will be operated, probably with
strike breakers, under the protection OF
Federal troops.

FISH LAW TEST TODAY.
William Otto L. Arrcsted for Assist
ing I'm Unlocking Bass.

A novel point of law is expected to be
decided in the Police Court today when
William Otto is tried on charge OF
violating the game fish law in that he
assisted in taking a big bass off hook
after it had been landed by another
fisherman.
Arthur Johnson. colored OF At
Eighteenth Street Northwest. went fish,
ing at the tidal basin yesterday. Otto,
il is said, also went fishing. Johnson
stood on the curbing Of the basin. but
Otto. it is claimed, climbed down 20 the
waters edge and stood on shoal OF
rocks. Johnson landed a big bass and
had quite a time in holding ii. The
police claim he yelled to Otto to help
him and that Otto grabbed the fish in
his hands and took it off the hook for
Johnson. The question will be raised
whether Otto actually violated the law
relating to the catching of bass out OF
season.
A game warden and a policeman in
plain clothes were near and arrested both
men. Johnson and Otto put up so
collateral each.

CATCH FISH WITH PITCHF0RKs
Men Stand in Greek and Throw Fin
MES Ashore by Thousands.

Couderay, Wis. May 1.-THE suckers
have been running in Sucker Creek
and everybody within a radius of ten
miles of Sucker Creek. nine miles from
here, has been gathering fish.
During the spawning season the fish
move in great schools from Lake Che
tax to Knudson Lake, through a small
stream, and all the men do is to stand
on the banks or in the stream and throw
them out with pitchforks as they move
along. At times they are so thick that
the water simply boils with fish, and they
come up the stream making a noise like
distant railroad train.
A couple of men will throw out about
1,G00 pounds in a few hours.
The settlers smoke and salt the fish
and pack them in barrels for summer
use.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, January 11.-Cleveland
base ball fans are beginning to feel that
perhaps Napoleon Lajoie will not wear a
Nap uniform this season. And this be-
cause of persistent rumors that have
been circulating around the country for
several weeks. New York papers have
printed much about Lajoie's becoming a
member of the Yankees. and it seems
that there must be something more than
smoke that is causing all the excitement.
The latest man to refer to the Lajoie
deal is Christie Mathewson, who, in one
of his stories published in the Hearst
papers, says that the Cleveland club will
trade Lajoie and Turner to Chicago for
Harry Lord and Roliie Zeider. This is in
teresting news. but. according to Cleve-
land club officials. there is nothing to it.
President Somers and Vice President
Barnard have made similar denials upon
several occasions but still the rumor
won't down. This makes 1t seem as if a
deal in which Cleveland is involved must
be brewing. In each instance Lajoie has
been the central figure.
President Somers has said that Lajoie
was the man who made base ball in
Cleveland and that he would end his days
as a member of the Cleveland team. The
