Local Bank Received New Coin Which Attracted Much Interest.

WONT FIT SLOT MACHINES

BELIEVES IN OCCULT.

COMPLAINT IS REGISTERED, BUT TIME WILL MARK CHANGE . WHEN RIM WEARS DOWN FROM FRICTION.

"Have you seen the new Lincoln penny?" This . question worked overtime on the streets of Richmond today. A small supply of the new pennies was received this morning at the Second National bank and there was quite ft "run on the bank" for a time as everybody wanted one. Only a few of this particular kind have been issued owing to the fact that the designer at Washington put his initials, V. D. B. in small letters near the lower edge of the coin. This is a violation of the law and the initials will be taken off on all future Issues. Doesn't Fit Machines. There Is much complaint among the slot machine men over the new penny. They aHege that it will not fit their machines and are loud in their walls over the matter. However it is only a question of time according to Mr. Eggemeyer of the Second National bank until this will be rectified and everyone will be satisfied, as the large edge of the penny will soon wear off and easily slip through the slots. The new coin Is of an unusually attractive, yet simple, design. It consists of the head of Abraham Lincoln In profile, on one side. Directly over his head Is the inscription "In God We Trust" while on one side near the center Is "Liberty" and on the other, "1909." The reverse side of the penny has "One Cent" in large letters, and directly underneath In smaller letters, "United States of America." "E. Plurlbus Unum" Is at the top of this side.

WERE HAUGHTY BOYS

Now the Probation Officer Is Camping on Trail and May Mean Reform School. PUT A BUGGY ON TRACKS

Andrew Coleman and Earl Walters, aged 7 and 9 years respectively, recently tried to teach the younger bloods of Dublin In the ways of devilment. As a result their conduct has been investigated by Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, probation officer, and it is probable that affidavits will be filed in the juvenile court charging the lads with indecency and delinquency. It is alleged a few nights ago the two took the buggy of William Floyd and taking it about a half mile from the town placed the buggy on the interurban track. Returning to town, the two started to pay a visit to every part of the town and perform some depredation.

THIEVING IS A SPECIALTY

LIKES NICE CLOTHES AND JEWELRY, SO TAKES PROPERTY FROM OTHER PERSONS AND SELLS IT AGAIN.

An affidavit against O'Neil Rhodus, a 11 year old Hagerstown youth was filed In the juvenile court today by Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd, charging delinquency. The youth is one of the youngest examples of criminology ever in this county if tales coming from Hagerstown are true and on which the affidavit was based. Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, probation officer made the investigation recently. The list of articles stolen by young Rhodus is quite large. Recently he stole $18 from Harry Bndsley and spent the money on two suits of clothing. Two bicycles which were missed by Hagerstown residents were afterwards recovered from young Rhodus. Much of the stuff which the lad stole, he afterwards sold and purchased some object of his eye's desire as shown by the purchase of the two suits of clothing and two watches. The child is entirely beyond the control of his father. Mr. Ladd stated this morning that he would endeavor to have the child sent to White's in

stitute. A sister. Ladle Rhodus, was

recently sent to a girl's reform school.

Steamship companies are relying upon soldiers to work as laborers. Ferries

The railroad men. are expected to go out but they have hesitated so far. The strike leaders today declare that the railroad men will soon join- the ranks. Poor Are Starving. Privation, starvation, and the actual suffering in war time are inforced upon the people. The stores are closed and food is getting alarmingly scarce. Restaurant prices have been, placed so high that the poor have turned beggers. In sections of the city famine already reigns. In the country the situation is brighter. Companies of soldiers escorted wagons containing provisions which were brought into the city through the day.

New York1, Aug. 6. The importers who raced against time and the pass

age of the new tariff bill and lost a

fortune thereby served notice on Col

lector Loeb today that they woul make

a fight.

The liner carrying a cargo which would be assessed $20,000 higher un

der the new tariff bill than the old schedules, was within three miles of New York when the custom house closed at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon pounding through heavy seas at top speed and trying to nose in before the fatal hour. Owners Make Fight. . The Hamburg-American line, owners of the Pennsylvania, will make a fight on a technicality but Mr. Loeb today declared that the manifesto of the captain should have been delivered at the custom house before the closing hour. Yesterday afternoon saw the most eventful time the new custom house ever had with a long line of customers waiting to pay duties under the old schedules, but what happened yesterday was not a marker to the lively times today. Mr. Loeb discovered that the old strenuous days when he defended Bwano Tumbo from the newspaper correspondents and impetuous cowboy friends were tranquil compared to what the importers had to offer.

(American News Service) Chicago, Aug. 6. Arrested in their apartments at the Congress hotel at night, three fashionably dressed women are in cells in jail today, charged with passing worthless checks at the Willard hotel in Washington. They gave their names as Mrs. M. N. Edwards of Philadelphia, Miss C. C. Ol-

cott, said to be a daughter of Mrs. Edwards and Miss Croake of Paterson, N. J. The women were taken to Central police station. Mias Croake at first

insisted she was Miss Olcott's maid, but later admitted she had passed the checks complained of. "I was sure they were alright," she said. "They were given to me by B. M. C. Durfee of Philadelphia In payment for furniture I sold him. One was for $195, the other for $60 and the third for $30. If they were not good, then I was imposed upon." Simultaneously with the complaint from the Willard hotel, came similar stories from the Fort Pitt hotel, in Pittsburg, the Bellevue-Stratford hotel of Philadelphia, Youngs hotel, Boston, and the Waldorf-Astoria, New York. At all these places the three women are said to have passed checks signed by "B. M. C. Durfee."

The picnic of the former trustees of Wayne county whose term of office expired last December, at Glen Miller park yesterday, was attended by nearly aU of the former officials, their wives and children. Altogether about 45 persons were present. The county officials were guests of the trustees.

The most exciting event of the day

was the game of horse shoe contest in which Albert Anderson, ex-trustee

of Franklin township, and Mr. Wll Hams, a former resident of that township, won over all contestants. Chas

Potter and George Bishop were vic

tors in the morning contests but lost

out in the finals.

WANT WIDER WALKS

The county commissioners have ordered that the sidewalk between Third and Fourth streets on South A street, adjoining the court house yard shall be twelve feet wide instead of six feet as provided by the board of works. The side walk ie eighteen feet wide and a small walk such as ordered by the board of works would not be very attractive according to the commissioners. Work on taking up the bricks along the walk preparatory to commence work was started today.
