DEMAND FOR NEW
MONEY DIES DOWN
Companies Seek Old Currency
for Pay RolIs-Banks Are
Praised for Aid.

The big demand for new small sized
paper money, which characterized its
first day Of issue last wednesday, has
fallen off decidedly. much to the salts
faction of the Treasury Department
The curiosity demand" on the first
day turned out to be OF about the vol
ume that had been expected. Assistant
Secretary Bond said last night, but it
now has slowed up.
So many concerns are now asking
for the old money. especially In the
preparation of pay rolls, that Mr.. Bond
says the Treasury now anticipates no
dificulty in putting into effect its pre-
viouSly announced policy OF gradually
size Is produced in SUFFICIENT quantities.
I'VE are much pleased at the way
the banks have co-operated," said Mr..
Bond. They have shown splendid
spirit in helping the Treasury at this
important period of transition in the
currency of the Nation
With the big peak Of production Of
new money over at the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, the plant is re-
Stunning its normal production OF money,
of about 2.7o0, 900 notes per day. This,
however, is being accomplished with
much more ease than under the sys-
tenn Of production of old large size
notes, for the reason that IL small
paper and ink as eight Of the old
notes, and thus cut down the work per
note.
Swinging into its new fiscal year
operations, the bureau, under Director
Alvin w. Hall, now employs about
TOO persons. Director Hall expects to
make no further changes in personnel.

George Bennett StoIidIy
Awaits Action of Law in
ENLIGHTENMENT Case.
PRISONER AND FAMILY
DECLINE TO COMMENT
Youth, Charged With 100000
Shortage, Is Held in Jail in
Bond of 100000.

George Willard Bennett, q former
head bank teller at IS, strobe stolidly
into his cell at the District Jail yester-
day afternoon, apparently undismayed
by the penalty he must expect as the
confessed embezzler of over 100000
from the Farmers & Mechanics Bank.
Bennett has maintained an attitude
of singular reticence and composure
since q legitimate mistake in his &C
counts late Thursday prompted an in
vestigation that resulted in his arrest
early Friday, and uncovered series OF
defalcations covering four years.
Bennett waived q preliminary hearing
day noon, contenting himself with an
application for q reduction OF the
$iOO 900 bond asked Friday afternoon
by John w. Fihelly, District attorney.
He has retained Attorney William e.
Leahy, who represented him at the
arraignment. Both the defendant and
his family. with whom he made his
home in q walk up nat at 1857 N street,
refer all would-be questioners TO Mr.
Leahy.
600 reduction in the bond when Mr..
Ieahy informed him his client had AL
of the defalcation. specifically placed
at S104, 78o.24 in a warrant sworn to
by George o. VaSs, cashier of the
Riggs National Bank, parent of the
branch in which Bennett was en-
ployed.
Two Department of Justice agents
grilled Bennett at length before he ap-
peared In Police Court, but declined to
reveal what was developed by the In
terview.
one phase of the case over which offi-
Gals admit they are puzzled is how
young man of apparently frugal habits
could have made away with the six
figure sum.
Bennett says he mostly "dribbled" it
away. admitting he played small
amounts on games of chance and like
wise made lesser stock investments but
denying that he had been a heavy
plunger.
The little family, headed by Ben
his home, few blocks from the
Georgetown bank where he worked, live
in moderate II comfortable circum-
stances. Friends of the family say
Bennett was q quiet young man and
never appeared as a heavy spender.
Benefits method of defrauding the
bank, according to officers, to whom
he is alleged to have given q written
confession, was to pocket deposits,
which he covered with subsequent de-
posts. keeping a few days behind in
entering credit to the various accounts.
Bennett was taken to police head
quarters yesterday morning for the
daily lineup" OF prisoners, then re-
turned to his cell at the first precinct,
where he had been held since his ar
rest. He was removed to the District
Jail late yesterday afternoon.
