Late today Alexander McBeth, coun- ty detective, made an information against Stanley Smith, a brother of the fugitive and Elizabeth Husher, who was released from the jail last Nturday.

BIG HATS CAUSE CHANGE IN SERVING LCRD'S SUPPER Minister Asks Women to Stand While Partaking of Wine. New York, July 3.—Such is the do- minion of fashion that summer styles in hats have forced the Rev.

His parishion- ers were astonished vesterday at an order to receive the elements separate- ly—bread while kneeling and wine while standing. Today he explained. Women's hats are now so large, said the rector, that in passing the com- munion cup he can seldom see the kneeling communicants' face, and he is always afraid of spilling wine down her frock. Hence the order, which will_continue while the sisles con- tinue. BANKS NO LONGER OPPOSE POSTAL SAVINGS PROJECT. Are Sending in Applications to Receive Postal Funds.

GOVERNMENT LAUNDRY TO WASH OLD BILLS. Accomplishment of Philadelphia Wom. an Suggests an Innovation. Have Averted | Washington. July 3.—A Philadelphia | woman who several months ago wash- ed an ironed a dirty dollar bill so neat- | ly that many experts pronounced it a | counterfeit was indirectly responsibie for experiments which have convinced treasury officials that the government can wash paper money instead of al- ways issuing new bills for the old. Quite a saving thus would be ef- fected. As_one of the results of this wom- an’s ingenuity, contracts have been let for one laundering machine and the government will construct another in its own shops. The problem of laun- dering money long ago was almost giv- | en up as hopeless. | COUNTERFEIT $100 GOLD CERTIFICATE DISCOVERED. Was Contained in a Shipment of Mon- ey from a Louisville Bank. Washington, July 3.—A new counter- feit $100 gold certificate so well made in many detalls that the secret service regards it as highly dangerous was found today in a shipment of money from a national bank in Louisville to | its correspondent in New York. The new bill is lithograph and al- though it has many defects is printed on the government's money paper, which the counterfeiter must have ob- tained by bleaching a genuine note. It bears the portrait of Benton, which is very flat. A careful examination of the back is likely to betray it. BODIES OF COLONEL GREEN AND WIFE EXHUMED.

Strikers Gain Concessions. ~The strikers have not gained all they demanded, but they have obtained sub- stantial victories, including the recog- nition of their unions, which proved the chief obstacle to a_settlement in Liverpool, Glasgow and other ports and led to the holding up of numerous Atlantic liners. These steamers have now secured crews which will enable them to sail at an early date. Third Conference Proved Successful. In Hull, where the struggle was the most bitter and the strikers were ob- durate and riotous, a third conference between the board of trade representa- tive. George R. Askwith, and the rep- Tesentatives of the disputing parties was held today and proved successful. A mesting of the strikers tonight unanimously confirmed the agreement. Board of Trade as Arbitrator.

Juarez, Mexico, July 3.—Telegrams received tonight from Columbus, X. M., say that the country south of Pa lomas, N. M., is full of revolutionary bands whe style themselves liberals or loyals.

GERMANY IN FAVOR OF UNRESTRICTED ARBITRATION German Ambassador at Washington to Receive Instructions. Washington, July 3.—That Germany will not be far behind Great Britain in her acceptance of the principle of unrestricted arbitration of all issues, including those involving national hon- or, is regarded here practically as a certainty in view of the developments of the past few days.
