Bernard's Billions.

NJ. lean Bernard has made a great
discovery in Paris. He has been dig
sing into some old records and has
found out that the United States. in
stead of being the creditor of France
for about three billion dollars on ac.
count of the war loans, actually owes
France money. He has computed GER
tain alleged claims due France on ac-
count of aid given during the revolu-
tionary war amount at present wit h
principal and interest to ninety bill
lions of francs. At the present ex-
change rate this would amount to
about $500, 900 900. Or at the full par
of franc value S17,370 600. 900 Then
as little extra NJ. Bernard counts in
a reckoning of eighty million francs
lana. Inasmuch as the entire pur-
chase price for the territory Of Louis
lana was $15,000,00O, it would look
as if M. Bernard were claiming the
United States never paid for it at all.
Be that as it may, the State and Treas
ury departments Of this country are
not taking the Bernard proposition
seriously. Since the receipt of the
news of this profound discovery Il
search has been made of the record
without any disclosure of unpaid bill
lions or even millions. and it looks as
though NJ. Bernard had really been en-
gagged in a bjf of finn with hi, o1uy,
countrymen. At all events, until the
French government itself presents the
claim there will be no anxiety here

INCREASE In NEEDY
SHOWN BY REPORT
Associated Charities Spent

needy familiesin this city, accord-
ing to the report submitted BY the
District Visitors Of the Associated
Charities to he Board Of Managers
yesterday, showing an excess over
any month in the history OF the
society except in mid-winter.
The report also shows that the
Penny Provident Fund Of the society
fell 20 per cent under last years,
only $1.636 being deposited.
The chief causes for the increase
of needy families in the city, ac-
cording to the report, are sickness,
unemployment. and the nonsupport
and desertion by shirking husbands.
Responses to the recent appeal for
funds issued by the joint finance
committee of the society are being
daily received: 452 persons have
made contributions or pledged sup

many small children who gave large

GOLDEN ACQUITTED
OF MURDER CHARGE

Edward Golden, who was charged
with second-degree murder In con-
nection with the fatal shooting of
Andrew Carlson at a garage in the
rear OF 2112 Massachusetts, avenue
northwest, December 9. 1920, was
by a jury yesterday be-
fore Justice Siddons in Criminal
Court No. 2. The jury was out only
long enough to walk from its seats
to the jury room and back again
with a verdict of not guilty.
Carlson was shot to death as he
approached the garage. a charge of
bird shot from Golden's shotgun. it
was alleged, tearing a hole in his
right breast. Revolver shots, said
to have been nred by Carlson, went
wild. The two men had a disagree
ment over a business transaction in
volving a change of ownership of
the garage from Carlson to Golden.
Golden claimed that after receiv-
ing a threatening telephone message
from Carlson, he telephoned for a
policeman, but before the policeman
came Carlson arrived and began
firing, after kicking the door open.
Golden then picked up a shotgun
and fired and Carlson dropped. At
torney T. Morris Wampler defended
the accused.
