COUNTERFEIT DOLLARS.
Spurious silver Circulated ia wash

Spurious silver Circulated ia wash
ingtOn During inauguration Week.
Among tho money presented at the Treas
uTy by local banks and from other sources
for redemption since the first of tho present
month thore has been an unusually large
number Of counterfeiG silver dollars de-
tected. Six of these spurious coins were
detected in single day, all having como
from local sources. The inference is that o
large quantity Of counterfeit silver coin was
put in circulation in this city during tho
period that the inaugural crowds were at
their height.
Chief Of the Secret Service Brooks atten-
ton was called TO this fact, and he said;
1t is almost inevitable that some swim
dlers will avail themselves of an immense
crowd and period OF hustle and excite
ment to endeavor to dispose of counterfeit
coin. They naturally assume that under
such circumstances money Is less carefully
examined, and the passage of counterfeit
pieces is attended with more ease and less
risk.
"In view of this fact had some of the
shrewdest detectives In the country in
Washington during Inauguration week and
no effort was spared to detect counterfeits
and prevent their circulation. AS con
sequence of the presence of these detectives
there was no extensive circulation of coun-
teTfeits.
81 have scarcely heard complaint.
There were no cases that indicated systom-
atized efforts and none that showed the
presence Of professional men. There was
never an event of such Importance, at
tended by such immonse crowds of people,
in which so few cases OF swindling or other
crime occurred
