The house of representatives seems
to have gone for the Wilson currency
bill in the same headlong fashion that
Maine went for Governor Kent. Evil
IDENTIFY there are great many mem
bears of both houses of congress not in
a frame Of mind and a state Of prac-
tical knowledge to be influenced by
argument on measures involving bank
ing and currency, but ready and eager
to follow party dictation and the blind
suggestions of class and sectional
prejudice.
1t is hoped the bill will receive more
study in the senate than has been ac-
corded to it In the house, for it is a
more important measure than the tariff
bill, and so drawn that it's provisions
will cause revolution in the currency
system and the banking system Of the
country, shouldering aside the insti-
buttons which have performed good
service for half century and intro
ducing substitutes which are expert
mental and which many Of the most
competent practical students Of finance
regard as menacing mischief unless
the bill is radically modified in several
particulars.
As the country ready for a plunge

County Clerk Russell H. Jones this
morning received from the state fire
marshal a letter asking for aid in the
enforcement of the new law demanding
reporting of fires not olly in the cities
Of the state, but also in the rural
towns Of the various counties. The
clerk is asked to send a list of all town
officers and the fire marshal will at
once send to each of them a letter in
structing them in the enforcement of
the new law. The law was passed by
the last legislature with view Of Sc
curing better protection against fires
in the state. Under the provisions of
the law the clerks in the rural towns
must make reports to the state depart
ment and must begin the investiga-
ton Of cause Of all fires within two

letter to the town clerks follows:

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. "a
With the injection of Miss Lena
Caduff, the first woman, into the
trial here of eight indicted Vest
ern Fuel company officials, alle-
cations of attempting to discredit
government witnesses through
sensational means have been add
ed to the charges of coal frauds.
Accusing David c. Powers, a
married man, chief witness of the
prosecution, with having betrayed
her under promise of marriage,
this 20-year-old girl has relegated
the dry documentary details of
the case to the background. Miss
Caduff asserted that she thought
Powers divorced.
Powers declared it bold at
tempt to mitigate the effect of his
testimony against his former bust
ness associates, he having been an
employe of the Western Fuel COM
pany during the period of alleged
frauds.
Although Miss Caduff and her
father both denied to the federal
grand jurors, hastily summoned,

as it is city Juice 1t now has going
to waste. If Stone-Webster put in
a line the city could not sell the
juice to operate 1t.
The people are beginning to get
wise to the fact that the municipal
car line may be big winner.
Even the tricky trio is beginning
to hedge.
The mayor declares now that he
will not join the Reasonable trio"
in the Stone-Webster deal. 'I will
not agree to their deal on the fran
chise rebate" said the mayor.
This morning even Mills, who was
the ringleader of the back office
deal declared that he was for a mu-
nicipal line and that If the bonds
did not carry he even favored the
city building the line later when it
got money at all events.
The councilmen have about given
up hope of doing anything with
Stone Webster.
Il believe we are unanimous now
that the city should build the line,
at least and own 1t, even if we have
to leave operation for future con-
sideration," said the mayor.

that there was any connection be-
tween her action and the cases at
bar, Special Prosecutors Matt l.
Sullivan and Theodore Roche at
once began a probe on this as
sumption.
Three months ago Powers ac-
cuser had been refused warrant
for his arrest on the same charge
and the grand jury refused to
bring an indictment.
That was why the motive of it's
revival at this time was chal-
lenged by the government.
He claims that while the accu-
sations were being ventilated
three months ago, an attempt was
made by Miss Caduff's represen-
tatives to quash the matter for
cash payment of $1,000.
The federal grand jury discov-
cred that Attorney Bradley Wal
lace, connected with the girls
counsel, had been a college ehum
of Felix Smith, son of Sidney
Smith, one of the defendant fuel
directors. Furthermore, that
Wallace was formerly attached to
the law offices of Atty. J. r. Prin-
gle, step-son of Sidney V. Smith,
and associate counsel for the ac-
cused directors.
This was regarded as highly
significant by the government.
A pure frame-up," said David
Powers.
In this he was sustained by his
brother Edwin Powers, former as
sistant superintendent of the
Western Fuel company.

What One sparrow Did.

What is perhaps the most remark
able accident that ever occurred was
reported last month from Germany,
according to Leslie's Magazine. A
large touring car was travelling at fair
speed along a boulevard lined with
trees. Large fiocks of sparrows were
in the trees and several boys were
taking chances of being arrested by
the police by shooting at the birds
with sling shots. One pebble, particu-
larly well aimed, struck a sparrow on
the upper wing and sent him gliding
through the air directly toward the
driver of the car; the bird struck him
full in the fact, and in the next In
slant things began to happen. The
driver clutched at his eyes. the car
lurched into the ditch, knocking down
a telegraph pole, vaulted to a plowed
field on the other side of the ditch
and went full force into a huge hay
stack. Despite this wild swerve no
one was even scratched except the
driver, whose eyesight was damaged
by the claws Of the sparrow. The
whole incident had taken far less time
than needed to relate 1t.

UNLIMITED PLAYER IN GAME
Safe to Say Hawk Achieved No Pop
ularIty Through His Appear
ance on Golf Links.

After making a long shot from the
tee on the Hackensack golf links, H.,
o. Yerkes watched the ball as it sped
through the air. 1t was one Of those
drives which the average player
thinks that he ought to make all the
time.
Mr.. Yerkes had not bargained for in
reference with the ball, and he was
amazed to see a big hawk follow the
white speck. When the ball fell to the
fair green the hawk was seen to alight
on it and carry it away. Mr.. Yerkes
was dumfounded, as was also his OPP
ponent, George w. Lyle. But even
they had not bargained on evil inten-
lions of the bird. Therefore. they
were still more surprised when the
hawk dropped the ball farther down
the fair green, but in very bad spot
In a bunker. Mr.. Yerkes was displeas-
ed that such fine drive had been
spoiled. and his friend was somewhat
gratified.
Mr.. Yerkes thought he ought to be
permitted to put the ball back where
it landed before the bird picked it up
but Mr.. Lyle declared that he thought
his opponent ought to let his ball lie
where It was and count an extra shot
However, it was determined that II
was a rub of the green, and Mr.. Yerkes
took more than one to get out of the
bunker.
