Nothing endures Ilka truth—

GIVES RULE OF PRECEDENCE
by Ty ’ Cobb. It turns out, however,
that "Ty" didn’t sign any currency,
but the incident will hereafter keep
many a well-behaved capital tourist
out of the treaeury’a “strong box.”
The Detroit center fielder went
sightseeing sightseeing In the treasury.
He was immediately recognized and
received ail sorts of attention. Upon
be ing ushered into the big vault con-
taining national bank notes he was
permitted to write his name along the
edge of a sheet of notes.
Cobb Is a director of a Lavonia (Ga.)
bank. Immediately the report went
forth that as such an official "Ty" bad
signed some bank notes for hls bank.
The value of these notes climbed high,
so high that It would be worth the
bank's time and trouble to elect Cobb
president, vice-president or cashier, so
that he could legally sign the cur-
rency. Then the bank could sell the
notea for any old price.
As soon us Acting Comptroller Kane
heard of the matter be Issued an order
that no one waa to be permitted In
the vault.
The margin upon which Cobb wrote
bis name Is clipped from the sheet
when the notes are cut out.
