BAD DOLLARS IN oMAHA.

OMAHA, Neb., March 2O.-Half a mill
lion perfect silver dollars IN circulation,
unauthorized by the government, is the
subject over which many detectives
and Omaha bankers are disturbed
Last week the headquarters of the
United States secret service bu-
reau at Des Moines was com
bined with the Omaha station
and all the special agents in both are
in hot chase after two gangs of coun-
terfeiters who are flooding this city
with the product of their work 1t has
been necessary 70 secure reinforce
ments and four special agents of the
government, In addition to Marshal
Whites forces, have been cooperating
with the division chief
Hot on the Trail
A good clew TO one gang has been
found and some arrests will be made
within few days; in all probability.
This latter clique has been making
clumsy imitation of silver half dollars,
which indicates that its members are
amateurs In the business. But the other
gang is regarded as a professional
money making magnitude IL has
practically established little mint in
Omaha right under the nose of Uncle
Sam. and is working SO smoothly with
such clever product that the secret
service men are mystified as well as
amazed at the extent TO which this
monetary deception has been practiced.
Coined over 100000.
For months Omaha and vicinity have
been the hotbed of smooth crowd of
''minters. They have coined, so it is
said. $500,0O0 or more Of dollars which
contain the same amount of silver and
alloy placed in the regular dollar by
the government minis. These men have
simply started an opposition to the gov
eminent and their money cannot be de-
tected from the genuine. They are
making money fgurativcly and liter
ally.
seigniorage of Fifty-one Cents.
It is said they realize fifty-one cents
profit on every dollar they turn out
So cleverly have they worked that the
cash drawers and banks of this city,
Council Bluffs, South Omaha and else
where have been receptacles for thou
sands of these homemade dollars. II
Is ''seigniorage" On the sly, and has
finally attracted the attention of the
government
The purchase of several thousand
dollars worth of silver at the Grant
smelter in Omaha weekly by persons
unknown to the trade gave the authori-
ties the first clew TO the affair. The
dollars are exactly like those coined
by the United States mint
