M0ONSH|NERAND
COUNTERFE|TER
ARRESTED
WHITE WOMAN ARRESTED IN
RIcHARDSoNToWN SAID TO
HAVE CONFESSED
Kept Negroes Drunk
Officer Finds Still and Eight Gallons
of Booze in Home of Gabe Dazzle,
Alabama Negro, at Camp No. s.
Dazzle Taken to New Orleans.

Two sensational arrests were made
by local authorities Tuesday when
counterfeiter and a moonshiner were
arrested The counterfeiter was
Mrs. Anna Jennings, white, residing
in RichardsontoWn. It is stated by
officials that she confessed to the
charge and said she had been at work
for two years. When arrested at her
home the house was searched and a
large amount in counterfeit coins was
found, as well as fairly good stock
of metal. The machine with which
she made the coins was not located
and up to the time of her removal
from this city she did not give the
officers and information as to its
whereabouts.
During the past two years she has
operated in this city and the Off
Gals have no idea as to the amount
of coin she made and disposed of.
According to the police she made
passable coin which was looked upon
as a clever piece of work. They also
say that Mrs. Jennings informed
them that her husband, who has been
dead for two years, followed the
same trade and it was from him she
learned the process. Police were
unable to secure any further infor-
nation.
For the past several weeks the ne
groes at Camp No. 3 have been Sc
curing an abundance of booze and
foremen as well as officials were
somewhat puzzled for several days
as to where the booze was coming
fgom. Every arrival at the camp
was closely watched, as were the
movements of several employees.
However, they finally traced the sell
ing to Gabe Dazzle, negro, and when
they went to his home they found
homemade still and about eight gall
Ions of booze. He was brought to
this city. He has been at the camp
for two months, coming here from
Alabama.
Deputy U. S. Marshall Wood took
Mrs. Jennings and Dazzle to New Or
leans yesterday.

clearly it would not be business proposition to do so if we had to buy gold at a high price in order to ex- change it at a lower price.
 Prices Expect to fall.
 "The London Chamber of Commerce apprehends that prices may fall rapid ly at peace, with disastrous results to industry, and contend that it might De in the public interest to take steps 70 prevent the rapid fail in the prices of commodities by stimulating the. pro- duction of gold at the expense of the raxpayer. We neither share their ap- Drehension nor accept their contention. We have no reason to believe that there will be forthcoming from the British Empire on parity basis T" much gold as we shall need for the purpose of strengthening our re erYes, but in any case the additional amount of gold that we can hope to secure Oy subsidy would, in the opinion of our witnesses, be no advantage to th'S country for building up reserves un- less we can afford to keep it"
 With this report staring them m the face, and the further fact that the United States already has a large gold reserve in the treasury more actual gold than any other country in the wOrd-the best that the West ern gold mining men can expect IS . ong investigation dealing with the whole subject in it's relation to othe countries. This would drag on for al east year.
 In addition there is the congress ;ional prejudice against the subsidy plans of any kind. Efforts have been made for more than twenty years past O get through a ship subsidy bill, but Congress has always voted it down. Under the circumstances it would ap- pear that there k little promise of q. boom in gold mining for many years.
 There is hope, however, that in many cases, the cost of equipment on ow grade gold properties will not 5e n entire loss. Those that have de- ,eloped sufficient cheap electric power md are within reach of spruce for. Sts, can be converted at slight eXpen ,e into pulp mills that will yield just IS much profit as did the gold.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
 SHOWS ATHENS WORKMEN HOW TO MAKE DUMMY LEGS

ATHENS, May l9-- The Balkan Commission of the American Red 'ross has brought to Athens an Am rican superintendent and assistants ith supplies in the rough for making
 tificial legs. At a Creek workshop n Athens, American workmen are 1aking American aItificia' mbs anu lre instructing Greek workmcn in the .rt.
 The American workmcn have taken cmporary charge of the school for he mutilated of the Creek army until 2 Creek superintendent and Greek ,orl;mcn can be trained to take over he plant. The artificial legs will be .ittcd and given to Greek soldiers. l. $ the intention of the Greek govern. nent to see that every soldier who ccds one is provided with an Ameri- an artificial leg.
 An artificial limb weighing onl. our pounds are now being supplied to hundreds of mutilated soldiers who 'ormcrly had crude pegs and cumber- ome twenty-pond artificial limbs of mother pattern. The joy of these mel Gt being able once more to move rround easily is daily expressed in the American Red Cross workshops by dancing about on their new limbs with expressions of gratitude which, if 1t were not so pitiful, would be amusing.
 As corollary part of this work, the American Red Cross also is sup porting a school for the reeducation of the mutilated. At this school the disabled are being taught useful trades of all kinds including tailor ing, shoemaking, carpentering, metal working, basketry, and stenography and typing. For this latter work, q large number of American typewriters with Greek characters are needed.
