BROTHERS FINED FOR
HITTING SISTERS

Two men we're fined on charges
of assault and battery on their sis
ters by Judge Hastings in Municipal
Court this morning. Stephen Black
well was fined $3.50 and costs. with
the alternative OF serving 80 days in
jail, and Pasquale Bullion was fined
So and costs
Mrs. Ethel Frederick was the
prosecuting witness against Black
we'll her brother. She testified that
when she called at a house last Sun
day afternoon to see a man her
brother came to the door and threw
her down and struck her and later
at the home of her mother, she said
he threw her to the floor twice and
kicked her.
Blackwell testified that the woman
who occupies the house where his
sister was calling did not want her
there and requested him to go to
the door and keep his sister out. He
said he merely pushed his sister
away from him after she had
knocked his glasses from his nose.
In the scufie, It developed. Mrs.
Frederick's glasses were broken.
At his mothers house. he said, he
smacked his sister after she had
thrown a plate at him. Ethel, he
testified. was intoxicated. He told
the court that he himself has never
had a drink OF intoxicating LIQUOR
in his life. One witness testified
that Ethel had been drinking and
was looking for trouble" She de-
MED she was intoxicated. Philip
l.. Garrett and Everett E. Borten
represented Blackwell.
Bullion was accused Of assaulting
his sister. Mrs Agnes Campanella.
Their troubles, It appeared, grew
out Of a board bill that Mrs. cam
PAMELA claimed her brother owed
her. This the man denied, saying
that his sister has never liked him.
Mrs. Campanella charged that while
she was hanging clothes in the yard
of her home. her brother struck her
with a clothes prop. Bullion and
his aged mother, who had TO give
her testimony through an Interpreter,
denied this charge.
Before the court went into a hear
ing OF the case, Mrs. Campanella
said she did not want to prosecute
her brother on the assault charge
but only wanted him held under a
peace bond so that he will not mo-
| lest her.
Il suggest that she be placed un-
der a peace bond; she never minds
her own business" was Bullion's
quick response. She's a woman
who always invites trouble"
Bullion denied his sisters accu-
sation that he mistreated her chill
dren.

THINKS SMALLER
PAPER MONEY O. X.

Il think it's good idea and will
be a benefit 10 the banks and the
public" is the opinion expressed
by John S. Rosseil. president OF the
Security Trust and Safe Deposit
Company, in regards to the govern
ment's plan to change the form and
size OF paper money.
Mr.. Rossell said: Making the
bills smaller will enable bank
clerks 70 handle money faster and
with greater ease. IL will not neces-
state any change in our equipment
The compartments used to contain
paper money will not have to be
changed in size, as they will be large
enough to hold the large sized bills.
and will be able to hold more money
of the smaller sizes"
Mr.. Rosseil also pointed to .ae
great paper saving that would re-
suit from making paper money
smaller. and approved the plans
TO practically prevent successful
counterfeiting by so making the
money that possibilities OF initiating
It will be practically eliminated.
Treasury officials recently an
nounced that the radical changes
plsnned will be made soon to the
form OF paper money, which ha.
remained -naltered almosl since tn,
foundation OF the republic. Econ.
omy is the first reason advanced
due to the high cost of the paper
used. which is the result of a secre
! process in possession OF a paper mil
In Dalton, Mass.
Another reason is that the bill.
now in circulation are really adapt
ed only TO persons with large hands
and long fingers. Protection against
counterfeiting Is another reason fol-
the changes.
Il is proposed 10 make the notes
range in size according to their de-
nomination. This will make II inn
possible for a 50 note to be raised
TO a $50 or 5000 one as has been
done in the past. other changes
contemplated are the use OF distinc-
tive backs. and the placing OF the
legends required by law on the race
OF the notes instead OF the back as
at present, with large colored mum.
