COUNTERFEIT BILLS.
Why Many OF Them Remain in Or
culation for a Long Time.

Why Many OF Them Remain in Cir
cuIation for Long Time.
From the Chicago MALL
Several persons have expressed
great SURPRISE" said one Of Uncle
SANS secret service men last night,
that street car conductors make q
practice of pa ssing all the counterfeit
money they take in. There Is nothing
very startling in that. And the street
car conductor Is not alone in such
work either. He does no more
than the average citizen does
who finds that he has been duped by
a shower Of the queer. A bogus bill
or a spurious coin does not retire from
circulation just as soon as its worth
lessness is discovered by the holder.
The innocent party who has paid S.
for bit of worthless paper isn't con.
tent to lose his investment. He Is not
q counterfeiter and even if he were
caught in an attempt to pass the boz
gus bill he could plead innocence and
escape the laws penalty without
doubt because he himself was Victim
lied, you see, and who can prove that
he had discovered the fact before he
attempted to get rid of the bill? Thus
good deal Of counterfeit money re.
mains in circulation and it seems
almost impossible to suppress
it. The governments efforts
are directed toward the punishment
Of the makers of the spurious stuff
and the professional showers of it. 1t
is impossible to do more than that.
Counterfeiting nowadays has reached
a point approaching perfection. Very
often bogus bill remains in circula-
ton long time and performs all the
functions of money. Half of the coun-
terfeit that comes in to our hand in any
other way than by a capture of the
"mint" show actual service. 1t is
pretty difficult for an inexperienced
man to pick out bad bill. The other
day Capt. Porter overhauled q man
i'm Southern Indiana who had been
displaying counterfeit bill. The
fellow claimed to be an expert and
was selling 8 counterfeit detector"
publication. But the bill In his
possession was genuine Treasury
note and not counterfeit at all. The
assistant cashier of one of the biggest
banking institutions i'm Chicago &C
copied Sl0 bill the other day and af-
ter banking hours was surprised to
find the word counterfeit" stamped
upon the back of the bill in red ink,
the letters being large enough to be
easily read across the room.
