YOUR MONEY OR LIFE
IS Threat OF TURK
Palestine Governor Takes Drastic
Step to Restore Credit.
.necial To The Mashinston Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Cairo, Egypt, July u (by maiD.-
The paper money issued by the Turk
lsh government is not popular m
Palestine. Since its issue 1t has stead
lily declined in value and as the native
of Palestine has an international rep
utation for discrimination in matters
OF finance, 1t is not easy to hoodwink
the people as to the real worth of the
Sreenback currency.
The governor, Jemal Pasha, has re-
Gently issued some rather peculiar
proclamations insisting that this rise
in the local rate of exchange is due to
the evil practice of hoartiing real
money" and that therefore the prac-
tice of boarding must cease. The
proclamations declare that paper
money and specie must and shall be
equal in value, and to enforce this
somewhat arbitrary adjustment of
financial values, he states:
"If our hope to have this adjust
ment peaceably effected is disappoint-
ed. and if by July Is articles of any
kind, whether food or otherwise. Can
not be purchased with paper at ex-
actly the same rate as cash, l shall
proceed to deport from the vilayets or
Anatolia and Roumelia every tenth
man, with his family, of the persons
specified above Qocal bankers, head
men, and leading citizens)- The selec-
ton will be made by lot. In the
execution of this deportation no eS~
ception will be made in favor of the
managers of Ottoman and German
banks"
The people OF half-dozen races and
creeds come under this modern Turk
ish version of Your money or your
life"

Littell. in general charge OF all can
tonment construction, yesterday.

to the cantonment first is to avoid
tying up railroads OF the country.
I'VE want to use some of the trans
portation facilities for moving sup
plies" explained Col. Littell.

Bruen Methodist Episcopal Church,
32s Virginia avenue, yesterday vol

No Trace Found of Mary E
Cooney, II Years Old.

Fearing that his daughter, Mary Z.
Cooney, IT years old, has met with
foul play, Policeman owen Cooney. of
the Ninth precinct. yesterday renewed
efforts to obtain clews as to her
whereabouts.
Leaving home at s o'clock Monday
evening Miss Cooney. who lives at $500
Mills avenue northeast, boarded a
Langdon car, presumably on her way
to the Temple School. Since this time
nothing more has been heard of her.
Her sister. Miss Alice Cooney, says
that she had an engagement with
soldier at Camp Ordway at 8 o'clock
Monday night, and upon inquiry II
was found that the soldier whose
name was Kline. had broken the en-
gagement with her and did not see her
at all that evening.
The father believes the girl has been
taken out of the city. She is about S
IT. in. tall and weighs about 10
pounds, and is said to be strikingly
pretty.
kilograms have been sent to the po-
lice in nearby cities, containing a de-

lay MORE TAX
ON RICH BACK
Gerry-Lenroot Am en- d
ments Adopted s. to
81 In Senate.

sevsnty-three million dollars more
was laid yesterday upon the broad
back OF wealth. BY a vote OF thirty
nve to thirty-one. the Senate adopted
the 'Lenroot" amendments, imposing
much higher taxes upon Individual in
comes than the Senate Finance Com
mittee had planned.
An hour earlier seventy-four SEN
ators, opposed by no dissenting voice.
had accepted the radical Gerry
amendments. These taxed incomes OF
more than $4,000 thirty-fve per cent.
Of more than $4,000 forty-five per
cent, and OF more than s.. .O00. 900. fifty
per cent. The final addition Of s73.-
10000 to the war revenue bill was a
combination of the "Lenroot' and
Gerry" amendments
The big drive on wealth began early
IN the day. Speeches by Senators in
dieated that the ~miRds were bending
towards making corporate and indi-
Vidual incomes pay the cost Of the
war. When the votes came, the re-
suits were not unexpected.
The elimination OF the day came
when Senator La Toilette presented
amendments that would increase tax
alton on individual incomes more than
$50. .O0o. 900.
However. these amendments went
over until today.

HOG PRICES DECLINE

Chicago, Aug. 22-Paralysis seized
the hog market at the stock yards TO-
day. Ripe for a break after daily
rise since July Il, the market saw
Tuesdays price of so a 10o-weight
drop as low as $3.50 with few sales
and bids ranging from $l9 to $ls.20.
Sixteen thousand hogs arrived, as COM
pared with 1900 year ago.
The cattle market created the real
thrill, top steers going TO $3.50 an
advance from SIS Tuesday and the
highest price in history.
Practically 80 per cent Of today's hog
receipts had to be held over because
there was no demand.
Market observers expect to see prices
drop to an SIS basis. With pork chops
retailing at 40 cents pound and res
taurants beginning to cut them on
their menus, a further decline was re-
garded as a certainty.
Investigation today shows Chicago
is paying unprecedented prices for
