SP0TTING BAD MONEY.
THERE is BUT ONE DANGEROUS
COUNTERFEIT IN EXISTENCE.
4 Talk with Chief Drummond, of the

Brooks-It Is Harder to Float Bad
Money Than to Make It
Especial Correspondence !


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The newspapers
having had great deal to say of late about
the extent to which counterfeiting is car
ried on in the United States, l asked Chief
Drummond, of the secret service, for some
facts concerning the bad men who make
and deal In bad money. There are many
more counterfeiters than counUerfeits," he
replied. 81 mean to say that while every
year we find it necessary 70 arrest a large
number of men and women for connection
with the counterfeit industry, at the pres
ent moment there is but one really danger
Gus counterfeit in circulation in the United
States, and there are probably but three
or four persons engaged in the making of
counterfeit notes. Last year we arrested
aboUt350 persons, but of that number only
one was for manufacturing counterfeit
paper money. The remainder were charged
with making or passing counterfeit coin,
