Use Cotton
In Currency
Banker Explains Why
Dirty Banknotes Haze
Flooded US. Markets.
BY RAYMOND c. CARROLL.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-The keen
Drained manager at the Madison
avenue branch of the Equitable
Trust Company was talking: Fact
is. we have had nOn-washsble bank
notes since the United States en-
tered the war. This was due to the
scarcity OF linen, and the discovery
that very serviceable money could
be made from cotton. But while the
cotton money looked just as good as
the linen and cracked as loudly, il
does not stsnG up in the laundry,
That is the reason why We have so
much dirty money in circulation.
MI the new money that goes into
circulation has to be printed at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
which has had its presses busy
enough turning out Liberty Bonds
restaurant owner operating on
the Upper West Side was out giving
his thoughts: We have had to put
yeast cakes on the menus. The de-
mand became so great for them that
we concluded to serve them like
any dish from the kitchen. II is q
part Of the reducing fad that seems
to possess the souls of all of our
women customers, and they also
say yeast helps to make them more
beautiful, improving their com
pleXion and erasing their wrinkles.
They eat them spread like butter
on bread or crackers or dissolved in
a drink"
DR.. William ]. O'Sullivan, attor-
ney, physician, expert on poisons.
and one of the most adroit cross
examiners at the criminal bar, who
recently died from the effects of
chlorine gas, lost his life in behalf
of the apartment dwellcrs along
Riverside Drive. He inhaled the
deadly fumes while making an in
vestigation Of the gases at the New
Jersey plants, which, when the wind
came from the west. had aroused
the protests of Manhattanites.
When l first met DR.. O'Sullivan. .
quarter of a century ago, he was al
the crest of his reputation as
medico-legal authority. He was
born in 1858 in Ireland and educated
at Dublin University, where he be
came an expert in chemistry. He
was admitted to the legal profess
sion shortly after his arrival in
this country. He first won distinc-
tion in the trial of Carlyle Harris,
the medical student, tried in 1890
for poisoning his young wife. He
also took part in the trials Of Mrs.
Mary Alice Almont Fleming, accus-
ed of poisoning her mother. and DR..
Robert w. Buchanan, charged with
poisoning his wife.
His snow-white hair, acquired
early in life. gave him a distinction
and impressiveness when either on
the witness stand or as an exam
iner. He was an ardent member OF
Tamnany and an intimate friend OF
Richard Croker, and a decade ago
came within an ace Of being the
Democratic candidate for mayor.
Instead, Representative George B.
Mcclellan was nominated and
elected.

MRS. JOHNSON BRINGS
SUFFRAGE MEMORIAL HERE.

To have lived with two genera
tions and yet to have had the fac
ulty of understanding and appre-
ciating the aims and ideals of both,
still keeping their relation to their
age, this is the distinction enjoyed
by Mrs. Adelaide Johnson the
American sculptress. who arrived in
Washington yesterday from Italy,
bringing with her the suffrage
memorial statue which is to be pre-
sented to the National Capitol Feb
ruary la.
For Mrs. Johnson is not merely a
sculptress, but a philosopher and
historian as we'll At the heart OF
the greatest movements of the last
haIt century, which she declares is
part OF the greatest period OF transi-

EXHIBITED SCULPTURE AT
WORLD EXPOSITION.

Mrs. johnson was just beginning
her work as a sculptor when susan
B. Anthony used to come to Wash
ington every winter to prepare for
the National Suffrage Convention.
She was desirous of making bust
of Miss Anthony, and 1t was finally
decided that this should be done.
The bust was exhibited at the
World Columbian Exposition II
1898. Miss Anthony insisted, how
ever, that the busts of her CO.
workers, Lucretia Mott and Eliza
beth Cady Stanton. be made at the
same time.
The busts were exhibited in the
Woman's Building and were ad-
mired by visitors at the exposition.
After the close of the exposition
1t was proposed to place the busts
in the National Capitol, but nothing
came of the movement until just
before the passage of the suffrage
amendment, when the National
Woman's party decided to offer i'm
proved copies of the original bUNts
to the Capitol in the event of SUI
frage victory.
Mrs. Johnson has just come from
Carrara, Italy, where she completed
her work of carving the three busts
out of a single piece of marble, Ia
stead of putting each one on ped
estal, as at first planned.
She experienced great difficulty in
securing Italian assistants to help
carve the marble and workmen to
convey the sculpture to the liner
from her studio.
When the monument was ready
for shipment from Genoa it was
necessary to get it down to the
water. since it was decided that
freight would be too slow from
Carrara,

SAYS THIS AGE MARKS
DAWN OF NEW EPOCH


After she had formulated her own
creed which she says is an eclectic
one and which, although it serves
hor as an anchor, she never permits
II TO distort her perspective Mrs.
Johnson began to look at men and
things in the light of her hypothc-
Sis that this was the most import
ant age N the worlds history. the
end of the old and the beginning
of the new.
How best to preserve the record
of the great forces which are play
ing in our day and time was her
next thought, and then she resolved
to devote her art to making por-
traits in marble of the great spirit
ual and moral leaders of our era.
'In critical time such as ours
she said. nothing permanent de-
vclOps in art. literature. or music.
The permanent fruits of such a
period come later. l decided, there
fore. that the best approximation
to a faithful record of the events
of our day would be the delinea-
tion of the features of the men
and women who had been instru-
mental in shaping those events"
Susan B. Anthony, in Mrs. John
sons opinion. is the outstanding
and challenging figure of the last
century, the leader OF not only
American womanhood but the lead
er of the womanhood of all time.
Mrs. johnson knew her Intimately
and says that she had the peculiar
faculty of dealing with three en-
tirely different generations and still
achieving her end.
when the first suffrage con-
gress met in Washington in 1883"
said Mrs. johnson, only seven ma
tions sent delegates. Miss An
thony had been in the movement
fofty years then. In 1904 no less
than twenty-seven countries sent
delegates to the last council which
Miss Anthony attended"

movement, through all its vicissi-
tudPs for the last thirty years, Mrs
johnson has carried the concept OF

 It was learned today that the Wis., iting Nurses Association has furnish ed 20 children with clothes and shoes and has supplied food and other ne- cessities to equally as many families who are in dire need throughout the town. Very few persons realize the poverty and suffering prevalent in Fraii field.
 One official, prominent in welfare work fin Fairfield, stated today that the greatest amount of poverty and suffering is in the Holland H:lI dis fric+ where a great many of the peo- pie who were employed in the Bridge port factories live. Most of the peo- pie living there, live in shacks built by themselves. These ShackS have only three rooms and, as a rule, large families are crowded in the three rooms.
