U. S. TREASURER
WANTS NEW MONET.
Washington, October 2. Lee
MeClung, treasurer of the United
I States, wants to see a sanitary
currency. In his annual report
he recommends that the govern
ment increase its facities for ex
changing worn and dirty bills for
crisp new ones and suggests that
the public might be willing to
share the expense of doing so.
Treasurer MeClung makes a
; radical recommendation that the
national banks bo obliged to de
posit an additional 5 per cent re
demption fund for these nob's
early in January each year in ad
dition to the 5 per cent now re
quired all the year round, llede
j dares that during January, A
pril, May. and June and July,
the regular 5 percent fund is
not enough because of the drains
upon it. Consequently the treas
ury has to advance money for
the banks.
Such advances are taken up
again when the redemptions
lease off. As the notes areobli-i
gat ions of the banks and not the
government, Mr. MeClung roc-1
ommends that the banks be re
quested to deposit more money
to cover them.
The balance of the report is
devoted to a complete review of
the finances of the United States
treasury during the fiscal year,
1910, which closed June 30.

FITZGERALD MAN IS
ACQUITTED OF CHARGE.
Fitzgerald, Ga., October 3.
Willie Porter, the yong man who
was arrested l>y Henry Stewart,
charged with stealing lus dia
mond ring, faced the charge
against, him and was released;
the prosecutor having withdrawn
the wnriant.
The young lady in the case,
Miss Mao Mulligan, a vaudeville
actress, was brought here from
Cordole under a warrant sworn
out. by .Stewart, and, after a brief
examinat ion the case against her
was dismissed and she was re
tained only as a witness.
The contention was t hat young
Porter had given the girl a dia
mond ring that Mr. Stewart loan
ed. It. was proven that Miss
Mulligan never had the ring,
that Mr Porter does not now
possess the ring, and finally, that
Mr. Stewart has undoubtedly
lost, Ins ring. Just, where the
ring is, no one seems to know.
The case was of more than us
ual interest, as the parties involv
ed are of some prominence, and
t he circumstances which preceded
the trouble between the young 1
,ineu were of rather a romantic
and unusual character.

THE ELECTION IN
MONTGOMERY.
The regular election, as held in
Montgomery county yesterday,
j "as a very quiet affair, and but
very few votes were polled. Up
to the hour of going to press this
I morning the ballots had not
been consolidated, but it is safe to
say that more than three hundred
and fifty or four hundred votes
were cast in the county. The Mt.
Vernon precinct polled 84 votes.
At, each precinct in the county
Mr. brown was given a compli
mentary vote, and it said that he
really carried one precinct in the
county, it being understood by
all well informed citizens that
Mr. llrown was not a candidate.
It, is understood that no election
was held in the Longpond dis
trict,, but tins cannot bo confirm
ed this morning. During the
I mst week cries of illegality have
been rife, and a certain disgrun
tled element throughout the coun
ty sought to overthrow the entire
matter. Everything passed off
quietly, and all nominees were
elected.
