New Paper Money To Make
 Counterfeiter's Job Difficult
Latest Designs For Bills From $ To $I00 Approved By
 Secretary Mellon

and Benjamin Franklin, respectively, have been selected.
 The seal, sequence numbers and symbol letters will be overprinted in colors on the face of the United States notes and silver certificates, and the same plan will be followed for the federal reserve notes, which also will carry the name of the is- suing reserve bank. The overprint- ing on the silver certificates will be blue; on the United States notes. green, and on the federal reserve notes, red.
 The whole design with the excep- tion of the portrait and the over printing therefore will be uniform and the difficulty of raising" bills to higher denominations, Chief Mo ran of the secret service, believes will be greatly increased.
 S2 Bills Unpopular.
 The backs of the new bills will be of the same general character as the present gold notes, consisting with lathe work border and not pie lures, and thus the design of any one denomination will become well known, whether 1t be United States note. silver certificate or fed eral reserve note.
 As for the $2 note. the statement said the committee had been unable to find reasons for it's unpopularity but new design for it was not included in the changes approved by MT. Mellon since its discontin uation is being considered. If It finally is decided to continue the bill, however, a portrait of Thoma Jefferson will be used and a design In accord with the new program will be worked out.

MEMPHIS THEATRES IN
 TOLLS OF CLOSING LAW
Operators Arrested On Charges Of
 Violating State Statute

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Sept 9-Ten op- orators of motion picture theatres in Memphis, who were arrested last Sunday, charged with violating the statute enacted by the last state leg
 islature prohibiting Sunday mortion pictures, were arrested again today on the same charge, after their the, atres had been open thrc ughout the day. Last week they were bound over to the Shelby county grand jury, but no indictments were returned. Individual members of the grand jury said that insufficient evidence was produced against the theatre owners.
 If indictments are returned against them, the operators intend carrying the case to the supreme court for ruling on the constitutiCnality of the statute, their attorneys have de- clared. The statute provides that mo- tion picture operators who are twice convicted of operating theatres on Sunday shall surrender their licenses.

PINCHOT WANTSI7 DESTROYERS ARE
 CURB PLACED ON WRECKED WITH COAL BROTHERS OVER SCORE DEAD
(Continued From Pnge one)

 you were good enough to indicate that suggestions from me concernine anthracite would not be unweleome l am writing to suggest that real ad- vantage to the public would result if the interstate commerce commission would take up and consider anew the rates charged for the transportation of anthracite coal, with a view to re- ducing them if justification of such reduction should be found.
 On my part, I propose to ask the Pennsylvania public service commis- sion to consider anew the reasonable ness of all freight rates on anthracite within the border of Pennsylvania. CDlIs For Report.
 T realize that the action of na- tional and, state bodies having au- thority ovef freight rates on anthra- cite coal cannot alone solve the prob lem of fair cost to the consumers. Other factors also have weight, such as efficiency in operating the mines and reasonable profits in distribu- tion. It would greatly assist the public In reaching sound Judgments in these matters if the findings of the United States coal commission on profits and costs in mine operations and in wholesale and retail distriBu- tion were made public in great de- tall at the earliest pOSSlDIe moment. This information would be of the greatest use to me as to others in making plans to protect the public interest. Hc t,
 "The margins and profits of whole salers, brokers, jobbers and retailers are mainly local matters which must be dealt with as mnch- Accordinggly, you will, I am sure. be glad te know that I am preparing to invite the governors of all anthracite states to go into this matter with me.
 To Resume Mining.
 T am exceedingly glad to tell you that the mining of anthracite Is likely to be resumed before the twen- tieth of this month. You will realize as fully as l do, the desirabillty of reducing at the earliest possible mo- ment whatever protection can be pro- vided for the consumer against any undue and unnecessary increase in the cost of coal.
 Since the public is deeply and properly interested party in this mat ter and since public opinion will have so large an influence in securing justice I have taken the liberty of making this letter public in the con- fident belief that I have your ap- proval in doing so.
 With approval appreciation of your courtesy in this whole matter, believe me.
 Sincerely yours,
 "GIFFORD PINCHOT."

 GONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 9.-(By Associated Press.)-Religious con- servatives. throughout Turkey are much excited because the minister of religious affairs has ordered and the religious court has approved the sending of a telegram to fix feast dates. Conservative newspapers op- pose the methods as too progress sive." view which has many sup porters.
 The trouble began recently when a national religious feast day was ob- served. Customs provide that the feast open when someone sees the new moon. But different Turkish cities saw the new moon at different times this year. So there was a sue cession of services which should have been simultaneous
 The Angora government decided to offset this by putting all power in the hands of the religious minister. who, on being properly convinced someone had really seen the moon, could send out general telegram. Older churches appealed the order, but the religious court upheld it.
