Certificates Lawful.
Washington, June 4. Treasury of
ficials have decided that the new cur
rency law does not prohibit the use of
clearing house certificates. They be
lieve that certificates Instead of highly
taxed emergency currency should be
used. ' . . .
It Is understood that Cortelyou does
not consider the failure to make cash

fect in the new 'currency bill.' His
opinion Is that any bank resorting to
issuing the certificates with new cur
rency available will meet with public
condemnation sufficient to cause a
change of tactics.

Union County Cherry Crop to Break
All itecortli).
Fruitgrowers who have kept a care
ful watch upon the fruit condition In
this county, state that the cherry crop
Is now assuredly safe and that the 1908
crop will be the largest Ini the history
of the county. There are two reasons
for this. One, that the trees are old
er and therefore able to produce more,
and then, again, many hundred young
trees come Into full bearing this year
for the first time. ,

editor of La Gaulols, with whom b
had been standing today, suddenly
quitted a crowd of newspaper men,
walked up to Major Alfred Dreyfus
and fired point blank at him twice
with a revolver. Both balls took ef
fect In the right arm. Dreyfus, though
startled, uttered no exclamation. Greg
ory darted into the crowd In an at
tempt to escape, but M. Mouquln, ,
hend of the municipal police, pounced,
upon the fleeing editor and hurried
him to Jail. The affair took place
near the close of the exercises In cole-1"1
br.ttlon of the transfer of the rfimain,
of Emlle Zola, the famous novelist and
defender of Dreyfus, I, Uin Mont Marte
cemetery to thi Pantheon, the French
Hall of Fame. A tremendous crowd
was present. Dreyfus showed the
greatest presence of mind, begging ths
people to be snH "c tt to let it
be known what bad happened.

and was rushed home, where surgeon
said the woundsVwsr, not necessarily
serious. Gregory stood within three
feet of President Falllores. As a pa
triotic song was being sung, Fallclresv
closely followed by Dreyfus, started
down the steps to review the parade.
As they paseed the press table. Greg
ory rose with others and as Dreyfu,
approached he exclaimed: "Here's for
parade!" The shooting followed. A
mob attempted to take Gregory from
the gendarme, and a fight followed In
which several were badly cut.
' In an Interview Gregory said:
"I didn't fire at Dreyfus; I fired at
Dreyfuslsm. It Is revolting to see tho
nnhle"French army mixed up In an
affair of this sort. , At best. It con cerned
