NEW MONEY TO MAKE RAISING NOTESHARDER Portrait Changes to Help in Baffling Crooks, Sleuth Asserts. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Noteraising will be made practically impossible when the new paper money comes into circulation July 1, 1929, W. H. Moran, Chief of the U. S. Secret Service, declared before the House Committee on Appropriations. This will be true, Moran states, because of the restriction in the number of designs. George Washington’s portrait, for example, which in the past has been on not only $1 bills, but on S2O gold certificates, will be employed only on'sl bills. “We can go to the people and say: ‘You must not take a bill with Washington’s poi trait on it for more than sl.’” Saves Half Million The new paper money, which will consist of small-size bills in all denominations, will save the government half a million dollars a year on its paper bill. Four additional notes will be made from a sheet of paper. While note-raising will be made more difficult with the new currency. Chief Moran declares there will be no difference with regard to ease of counterfeiting. “It will not be easier to counterfeit. It requires just as much skill and labor to counterfeit a bill of small size as one of large size.” The largest part of the spurious American money coming in from Europe, Moran says, consists of raised bills. “For awhile there was considerable counterfeiting of our currency in Europe. That now has been largely suppressed through activities of European police departments.” „ Mexico Makes Good Imitations Though the chief source of counterfeiting activities is in this country, Moran states he has had considerable difficulty with some very expertly made counterfeits coming out of Mexico. The average citizen, Moran says, seldom discovers counterfeit money. “You would be astonished at the character of counterfeit money circulated freely among our people. Many of the counterfeit bills are nothing more than printed imitations. , . “Some of them have appeared m circulation recently that were nothing more nor less than carbon copies. Some even reversed the image. I think that is largely due to the practice that obtains among the people now of depending upon the distinctive character of the paper.” ARMY OFFICER KILLED Sister Here Gets Word of Death of Lieutenant R. 11.

CAPPER LOSES FARMAID HOPE Doubts Relief Will Be Given at This Session. Bn Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Senator Arthur Capper (Rep.) .of Kansas today expressed doubt that farm relief legislation would be enacted at this session. “The outlook is not encouraging at all,” Capper said after he had received a telegram from an associa? tion of Kansas wheat growers, urging that they be given speedy legislative relief. "Congress could pass farm legislation within two weeks if it got down to business, but it does not look as if it will,” he said. Capper said that unless legislation is passed at this session, wheat growers will get no benefit for their next year’s crops.

HOOVER TRAIN SPEEDS ACROSS BROADPAMPAS President-Elect’s Special Is Expected Tonight in Buenos Aires. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD THE HOOVER TRANSANDEAN SPECIAL, Dec. 13.—Out of the barren foothills of the Andes the special train carrying PresidentElect Herbert Hoover to Buenos Aires rolled swiftly across the Argentine pampas today. Farmers and their families along this flat country—similar in many respects to that found in the middle west of the United States turned out to watch the train, decked with flowers and flags, dash by. Throughout the trip over the Cordillera, as the South Americans call the Andes, Mr. Hoover showed great interest in the method of constructing bridges over the difficult gaps between mountains. From the moment the train entered Argentine territory it closely was guarded by troops and caribineros all along the route, to prevent any attempt on the life of the American statesmen or any effort to wreck the train. While such precautions are taken as a usual thing for any visiting foreign dignitary to a country, reports of a plot against the life of Hoover have caused the government to take unusual precautions. The train will not reach Buenos Aires until tonight, and Hoover used the day as an opportunity to discuss many problems with the Argentine welcoming committee which boarded the train at the frontier, where the Chilean delegation left the train.
