MINISHING ESSENTIALS
INFLATED VAULES COVED d.
U. S. THIRD WORLDS GOLD
Banking Power of this
Country Has Increased
Over 900 Percent.

Washington, Feb. 12.@The warning
that the prosperity and activity indi-
Gated by banking figures may become
artificial and deceptive is given today
by John Shelton Williams in his an
nuaI report as Comptroller of the Cur
rency.
Remarking that in nineteen nine
teen there was no a.national bank fail
ure involving loss to its depositors,
and that the banking power of the
country had increased nine hundred
per cent in the last thirty years, Mr..
Williams added: "tfhis large volume
Of money cannot mean an increase in
real wealth while there is a decrease
of production. The accumulation and
movement of securities and currency
represent abnormally influated val
ues put on an diminished supplies of
essentials"
All the gold in the world, aside from
the three billion, hundred and thirty
five million held by this country. was
estimated by the Comptroller as six
billions.

In a downpour of rain that literal

today. the last work in the primary

ished late this evening and tomorrow
it will be battle of ballots. Quite
a spirited race is being run for COM
missioners' places and for tax collec-
tor and for sheriff The coroner's Of
fee is also being contested.
Unless the weather modifies before
morning, there will be more dampened
ardor tomorrow. 1t has been an IN
usually rainy day and little work
could be done, but no one need be-
lieve things are quiet. There is plen-
ty to entertain the man who gets shut
and their friends are shut in from the
incessant rains.
Crisp's primary So far has been a
quiet one from many fiewroints and
the balloting Friday will not stir an
unusual amount of interest. This
more than likely will be stalled by the
extremely rainy weather.
Tax Collector Warren Musselwhite

have to be shown by the count who
wins. Tomorrow is Friday, the

Small Boy Only Guard Over
Treasure
WAS TO MEET PAYRoLLs
Man Offers Help; Dashes OF In Auto
bag Dropped From Train For
Pullman PayroIls, A. ls
Done Daily.

Chicago.-The system of handling OF
valuable mail by the Postoffice Depart
ment gave an easy opening to a pair
Of thieves whose successful coupe re-
suited in the loss of 100000 in cur.
rency. There was no blood letting;
no guards to overpower, nothing but
to seize a registered mail sack that
was under the care of a small boy
and drive off with the money.
Forty thousand dollars in twenties,
$4,000 in tens and $4,000 in fives was
sent from the Merchants Loan and
Trust Bank to the Pullman Trust and
Savings bank to meet payrolls. The
pouch was conveyed to an Illinois Gen.
trail train and thrown from the train
20 a platform at the Kensington One
Hundred and Eleventh Street Station.
The station is elevated and there is a
chute for mail leading to the street
'evel. The pouch was tossed down
:he chute at 2 P. M. There Slifer, a
postal employe, was to receive it, take
t to the postof1ice block away. His
primitive mode of transportation was
! push cart.
Several newsboys in the vicinity
Usually help him to load the mail. Lee
Wilgus, Is years of age, seized the
300, 900 pouch and began dragging it
coward the push cart. What the postal
employe was doing at this moment has
not been determined.
AS the boy tugged at this load,
grave, elderly man stepped up to him
and said: That's too heavy for you,
ny boy; let me help you." The man
look hold Of the pouch and carried it
% an automobile 10 feet away. He
:ossed it in the machine and before
:he boy recovered from his surprise
nan at the wheel stepped on the gas
and the machine and mail disappeared.
"The man who took the bag had on
big trimmed glasses and his hair was
gray" said the boy.
The Pullman bank is in the same
building as the postoffice. Money Is
received in this manner every day
from the big city banks consigned
through the postofices to various Pull
nan banks. The push cart and one
:one postal employe has been consid-
cred sufficient to transport and guard
the treasure.
d. R. Bryant, cashier Of the PullmaI
bank, said: For many years we have
employed this method of having con-
signments Of money sent to us. It is
not uncommon for the amount to ex-
Iced that contained in the pouch to-
day. So far as am aware, the money
has not been guarded or means taken
to anticipate situation such as has
arisen in this instance. The RESPONSE
bility for the safe conduct and deliv'
cry of the money lies with the reg
istered mail department of the post
Office"
The pouch was insured and it's con-
tents were to go to the Pullman COM
pany and other manufacturing COM
panies.

official Accused in snacCurs
tain Crime Murdered
BURN NATIONALIST HOMES
Killing Reprlsal For Jailed Mayor
General Strike Planned Unless
Cork Mayor Is Re-
leased.

Belfast.-Rioting to large extent
has been in the assassination Of Police
Inspector Swanzy.
An attempt was made to wreck the
shop of a Sim Fein leader within 40
yards of the scene Of the crime, and
only Intervention by Ulster volunteers
prevented it.
The crowds were out to burn the
house of every Nationalist in Lisburn.
The local fire brigade declined to in
terfere and the Belfast brigade showed
reluctance to respond to calls, as seven
hundred men from Lisburn travel daily
to Belfast to work in the shipyards. A
renewal of trouble here is feared.
Large crowds assembled outside the
Cork jail and prayed for the hunger
strikers there. Special prayers and
masses for the men were offered in all
the Catholic churches of Cork today.
Inspector Swanzy, against whom
verdict of willful murder was given by
a coroner's jury in connection with the
assassination of Mayor MacCurtain in
March, was shot while proceeding to
his home from church.
The killing of Inspector Swanzy was
among the most daring of a long
series. The congregations were leav.
ing all the Protestant churches at the
time and covering on the scene OF the
shooting The officer had been with
his mother and sister in attendance
upon the service at Christ Church and
had reached the corner of Railway
street, where he resides.
Here three men, armed with rifles,
confronted Swanzy and fred on him in
the presence OF his Mortified family.
Swanzy fell, but to make doubly sure.
the assassins discharged their weap-
ons again into his body.
Turning, the assassins ran along
Castle street. The congregation was
just emerging from Lisburn Cathedral.
Captain Woods, commandant OF the
Lisburn branch of the Ulster Volun-
teers, made dash for the assassins
although only armed with stick the
assassins fired on Woods, a bullet
shattering the stick in his hand, but
he escaped injury.
The murderers then fired at other
persons who had joined in the pursuit,
but without effect, and jumped into a
waiting taxicab and drove off toward
Belfast. All the roads coverging on the
city were promptly patrolled by police
and military, but the assassins es.
capped.
The verdict at the McCurtain in.
quest found Premier Lloyd George,
Viscount French, Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, and others, including Swanzy,
guolty of murder.
Applause followed the mention Of
Swanzy's name and it was deemed ad-
visable to transfer him to Lisburn an
overwhelmingly unionist center.
