Large Denomina
tion Bills Plentiful
But Uncommon
AP Feature Service
CHICAGO — If you should
reach into your wallet some hap
py day and pull out a bill bear-i
irg the portrait of Samuel Chase.!
do you know what you would,
have?
Ten thousand dollars.
Did you know that the likeness |
of James Madison adorns the |
$5,009 bill; Grover Cleveland, the
$1,000; William McKinley the
$500: Benjamin Franklin the
$100; and U. S. Grant, the $50?
There’s plenty of this de luxe
lettuce in existence -$2,489,000,
000 worth in fact—but it doesn’t
get around enough for most mor
tals to see. Nor, strangely enough
for all bankers to see.
Officials of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Chicago estimate that
$1,200,000,000 in notes of $50 de
nomination and up have gone in
to hiding since 1933.
This idleness was attributed, in
part, to low interest rates on sav
ings accounts, hesitancy of some
banks to accept savings deposit
unless suitable investment outlets
are in prospect and purchase of I
American dollars by foreigners.
The biggest bill of all is the
non-negotiable $100,000 gold certi
ficate. A total of $2.8000.0(^0,000
worth was printed when the Unit
ed Slates went off the gold stand
= rd in 1934. They were given to
the Federal Reserve banks by the
Treasury Department as receipts
for surrendered gold.
These bills picture Woodrow
Wilson and are the same size as
ordinary $1 bills. But there the
similarity ends.
Two Widows
Are Rivals
For Wealth
SAN FRANCISCO, June — Su
perior Judge Fitzpatrick of San j
Francisco County rejected the
plea of Mrs. Lura Waters that
she be named adminstratrix of
the estate of her former husband
Millionaire James Waters. Tire
New York and San Francisco
automobile dealer was drowned
recently in the swimming pool
of his estate at Woodside, Calif.
He left no will.
Second Widow Is Administratrix
The automobile man’s widow,
Mrs. Ronnie Waters, was named
administratrix and was granted a
temporary allowance of $5,000 a
month.
Mrs. Lura Waters was given a
$50,000 settlement and an income
of $250 a month when she obtain
ed a divorce in 1936. She claims
that Waters then mislead her as
to the extent of his wealth. The
huge automobile business was
started with their joint savings,
according to the first Mrs. Waters.
Both Dressed in Black
Both widows were dressed in
black when they appeared at the
court hearing. Testimony brought
out that Waters and his second
wife were married in Mexico
only four days after an interloc
utory divorce.
They were remarried in Calif
ornia a year later.
Strikers May
Get No
Draft Release
WASHINGTON, June — Gov
ernment officials were under
stood to have discussed cutting
down on the draft deferment
privileges of men on strike in de
fense industries.
It was recalled that President
Wilson in the World War threat
ened armament workers on strike
would lose their right to claim
deferment under the so-called
“skilled workers” exemption.
Some officials were said to be ex
ploring the possibility that the
President under the present draft
law could even more drastically
curtail the deferment rights of
strikers.
This sort of "work or drill”
pressure of strikers appeared to
be only in the back office talk
stage so far.
