Question Of Returning Stamp Dies and
Plates.

The question of returning to their original
owners the dies, rolls and plates used by the
government in the production of proprietary
revenue stamps, has been under considera-
ton by the acting commissioner of the inter-
nal revenue, and it has finally been decided
that in all cases when it is practicable to eff
fectually cancel stamp engraved upon such
dies, rolls and plates, land leave them availa-
BILE for printing wrappers or labels, to return
them upon application Of the original owners.
All cost incurred IN such cancellation must
be borne by the original owners Of the dies,
rolls and plates.

Bosrox. May Il.
There are some new Developments in the
cases of the men arrested at Bangor ard
Canton, Me-, Friday. who are alleged to have
been svindling people in Maine, under the
firm name of '.Fac Smile Company" The
firm advertised ''thirty-eight dollars for one
dollar A decoy letter showed the firm sell
ing the photographs of several United States
notes on pasteboard, the denominations Of the
bills aggregating s3s. In the matter of the
80 cent gold pieces they were advertised $500
for sl25. $1,000 for $500. Detective Nc
Ilraith, of the secret service, traced the die
with which the pieces we're stamped to d. W.
Thomas, jeweler at Livermore Falls. He
is an expert jeweler and die sinker. He is
believed by the government officer tn be merely
a tool and will probably be used as a govern
ment witness. The alleged State bonds
found on the persons arrested were beauti-
fully engrossed and bore a handsome seal,
and were signed by the president and treas
urer of the company in Washington. They
issued ten per cent intere.t and were placed
with many farmers as securities for loans. -Four
thousand dollars in these bonds were bought
BY Harmon of one J. A. Balloch of Washing
ton for ninety dollars. The metal from which
the bogus fifty cent gold pieces were made
was the same material as used in the manu-
facture of cheap jewelry. About thousand
of these remnants were bought by Harmon
from J. Briggs & Son. Prov idence, to be used
as he stated in the manufacture of ''bangles,
bracelets. etc. Harmon and Bicknell, chief
members of the firm, were held in $1,000.
