CONCORD, n. H., Jan. 15.-Freder-
lex L. Small was hanged in the state
prison here early this morning for the
murder of his wife at Lake Ossipee in
September, 1916.
Small was pronounced dead at 1927,
nine minutes after the trap was sprung.
He maintained calmness, and his only
words when he was informed he must
die were: Il am resigned God 5 will
be done. Small was escorted into
the death chamber by his spiritual ad-
wiser, but not word was said in the
chamber. Before the trap was sprung
all the lights were turned out and
Small went to his death in the dark.
The governor s council last night re-
fused a reprieve for Small. Small, who
at one time was engaged in the real es-

testimony.

correspondent of the Daily News says
that the situation III Russia is so uncer-

what will happen on the next, but the
Bolshesiki are in such q strong position
that no other party at present is able to
turn them out. He says they will be
the ruling power as long as they are
liable to keep their promises to the PEG
pie.
Asked whether the entente allies were
likely to recognize them, he replied that
they could not be recognized as repre-

AMSTERDAM. Jan. 15.-Most i'm

at the week end, according to German
newspapers. They were inaugurated by
the emperor s reception to the crown

Won Hindenburg and General Won Lud

longer the war continues the greater
will be the sum to our credit. On the
other hand, Great Britain and France
have withdrawn their credits, and some
of their debtors have become practical
~ insolvent.
''After the war, once the Govern
ments in Europe relax restrictions, the
disparity between our rates and those
of the European countries viii be even
greater Although it is not probable
that the advent of peace will bring
about such a large volume of trade as
many expect, it is almost certain that
our volume of trade will be greater
than that of any other country. Hence
it is fair to assume that the dollar will
become the unit of international com
merce like the pound sterling, whether
any legislative action is taken out or
not.
1.-THE plan will be to create a 25
franc piece in France, and bring the
weight of gold in that coin as well as
in the pound sterling and the 30 mark
piece to 1925 grammes, or the amount
of the gold in the s. piece. Then these
coins will be exchangeable in all these
countries; at least accounts can be set
tied on this basis.

earlier and not be delayed into the
hours of darkness.
s'The plan was put into operation in

the board of trade renewed the exec
utiva order last year and will make it
permanent at least during the war.
