 FUR PACIFIC

TOKYO Oct. 24. - The Toyo Kaisen kaisha is building two large passen- ger steamships, each about 1000 tons gross register, which will be used in service to San Francisco One will be called the San Francisco Maru but the name of the second has not vet been selected. The liners will have a length of about 63G feet. or about 36 feet longer than the Empress of Rus sia or the Empress of Asia, the two big sister liners of the Canadian Pa cific Steamship Company They will have quadruple expansion engines and each will afford accommodation for about 300 saloon passengers, with 100 second class and 500 third class. The speed is estimated at g knots, mak- Ing them the fastest on the Pacific
 The company will also build as soon as possible eleven freight steamers. five of which will be utilized in the New York service by way of the Pa mama canal
 It is also learned here that Great Britain has requested Japan to build 100 steamers in an effort to make up for the depletion caused by the raids of enemy submarines It will be i'm possible for Japan to turn out such d large number of ships. but the Japan ese shipyards are eXerting every ef. fort to increase their capacity of con struction. Steamships are especially needed in the carrying trade to South American ports.

VII LA MONEY IS INCREASING IN
 VALUE

FL PASO. Oct. 24. - Francisco Villas money Is worth more now than it was when Villa resigned in the state palace at Chihuahua City and controlled northern Mexico. The United States army is oddly respon. sible for this increase.
 Sent down to the border with the expectation of taking part in the Villa chase, the national guardsmen from all parts Of the country have been purchasing Villas currency from local dealers as souvenirs Of their visit to the border and have been sending this paper money home to re- latives and friends. The result has been a great demand for the money which Villa ordered printed on a hand press in Chihuahua City.
 When Villa was in power his money reached a high water mark of six cents American money, for s1 Villa money. But this was exceptional, and before Villa was forced to evacuate Chihuahua state 1t was selling at a few cents for 1000 worth of his money.
 Now the market price is $500 worth of Villas currency for $1 of United States currency. Because of the de mand dealers in the bandit leaders money have been having a hard time getting enough to supply the demand One of Villas generals is said to have recently sold $1,OO0, ,O00 worth to a local broker and that that has been sold to the soldiers on the border.
 Great quantities of the Villa money also have been shipped to Chicago New York and other cities in the United States, where it is used for advertising purposes, the name of the advertiser being printed on the face of the money. It is estimated that $1OO.0O0.O00 worth of this currency has been printed and circulated throughout the United States and elsewhere.

MANY HEIRS OF HETTy GREEN
 SHOW UP

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Oct 24. - Claiming relationship to the late Mrs. Hetty H. Green. the richest woman in the world" hundreds of people all over the United States have been writing to the trustees of the Sylvia Ann Rowland estate demanding a share in the Rowland fortune. This estate, amounting to about $1,25O, ,00O, released for distribution by the death of Mrs. Green, who had life interest therein, is to pass to the lineai de- scendant of Gideon Rowland, of Dart mouth, Mass, grandfather of testat- rix Claimants are springing up daily from every state in the Union, but they are doomed to disappointment, inasmuch as there is no foundation for their claims.
 The trustees have the complete list of the heirs, who are 436 in number, embracing every person who can be included, and have notified all of them in regard to the coming distribution. Although hundreds of others who bear the names of the inheriting families have written to the trustees. all at tempts to add to the list are proving futile. because of the thoroughness and accuracy with which the geneal- ogy of the Howlands has been com piled Entanglements such as fiction likes to build around the inheritance of a great estate do not exist in the Howland case. The heirs are scat tered throughout the country.
 Despite a common belief that Gid con Rowland and Mrs. Hetty Green were descendants of John Rowland, one of the Mayflower Pilgrims, the ancestral line clearly shows that they belong to another branch of the nu- merous Rowland family.
