Capture Of a Gang Of Expert Coun-
terfeiters.
HAD BEEN MAKING GOLD CERTIFICATES
Skillfully Executed Plates Taken in
the Raid.
@ A q G. HIT BY DECOY

NEW YORK, August 6-The World says:
The expert counterfeiters who for two
years past have been engraving and print
ing $500 and 500 United States gold GER
tificates and flooding Canada with notes Of
smaller denominations have been discovered
by secret service detectives, and four of the
gang of five are now locked up in Jersey
City. The fifth member-the hacker Of the
plant-was arrested, but escaped from the
officers
Brockway, the most expert forger and
counterfeiter in this country, is probably
the principal of the gang. He is now
seventy-three years old. When caught he
had in his possession $500 gold certificate
and $3.50 in Canadian money, supposed to be
counterfeit.
The man who supplied the funds for the
plant was DIR. o. E. Bradford, dentist,
who heretofore has managed to escape sus-
picion
The other members of the gang are Libbie
Smith, cousin of Bradford, and Sidney
Smith, the engraver of the party, who is
said to be Libbie Smiths husband, and VIM.
S. Wagner. Smith was arrested late last
night with counterfeit plates in his pos
session.
The plates and paper captured by the de-
tectives show this to be the most skillful
gang that has operated in this country for
years.
The building was raided on Saturday
night last. Besides valuable plates for both
United States and Canadian notes, 100000

Consolidation of Carpenters.

The conference committee, composed of
delegates representing each of the -carpen-
ters' unions in the District who were ap-
pointed some weeks since to consider the
question Of the consolidation of all the
unions into one body, held an interesting
meeting last night at the hall of Local
Union No. 100, No. 627 Massachusetts
avenue northwest, that society having adj
journed it's regular weekly meeting in
order that the conference might be held.
The subject of consolidation was gone
into to some extent, but no definite conclu-
sion was reached. 1t Is the opinion, how
ever, of some of the best informed members
of the various bodies interested that the
consolidation will not be made at this time,
at least.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 6-Congress-
man VIM. J. Coombs of New York, one of
the government directors of the Union
Pacific railroad, is in the city. He is on a
tour of inspection of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn for the purpose of obtaining sufff-
Gent Information to enable him to agree
with the four other government directors
upon some feasible plan for a fair settle
ment of the reads Indebtedness to the gov
eminent.
In speaking of the prospects of the road
he said: with good management the
Union Pacific ought to experience great
prosperity, but there are some serious mis-
takes which will have to be fixed on a
sound financial footing. This overcoming
evil effects. The road has got to get down
to business basis before it can be oper-
ated with profit, and in a manner that will
permit the payment of it's obligations.
Il am greatly encouraged account of
the improvement in business especially on
account of the settlement of the dispute
over the receivership of the Oregon Short
Line. That matter is still in the courts,
but You can rest assured that the Oregon
Short Line will never be taken from the
Union Pacific system. If the Oregon Short
Line were to be placed under a separate
Ieceivership it would be a serious blunder
for both roads and fatal to the lines in the
middle states. 1t would divert large
streams of through business to the lines
in the north and south and Utah would be
left on side track instead of on a main
line"
Mr. Coombs will leave for Portland in

of virtually ending the cut rate business in

have their shirts done up in Chinese style.
With the Incarceration Of these poor Chi

haps suffering. All Sing has wife, who is
soon to become a mother, and he also had
her aged father to support This old man
is Christian Chinaman. His wife was an
Irish woman, and since her death he has
spent great part of his time with his
daughter.
They are almost without food to eat, and
the little half-breed woman has received a
notice to leave the premises for non-pay-
ment Of rent so her counsel Gays
But the men will have to remain in jail
until Thursday at least, at which time
they will be given a hearing on a charge
of perjury. Judge Mills, in granting the
prosecutors a continuance, fixed the bail
at 81, 900, an amount which they could not
give because they have to pay the men
for such a bond is so large that they could
not raise the money. Lawyer John A.
Clarke has been called in the case to assist
Messrs. Sterling and Aughinbaugh and an
interesting trial is expected.
The victories of the Cinnamon who have
been making every effort to get rid of the
cut-rate celestials hat been the cause Of
much rejoicing in Chinatown, and the in
terest taken in the cases is shown by the
large number of Cinnamon who attend the
Police Court hearings.
Should Judge Mills hold the accused
Cinnamon for the grapd jury when he
hears the cases they vii have to go to Jail
and the cut-rate busin,ss will be ended.
This, it is thought, will end the local Chi
nese war.

Judge Cole today refused to grant a man.
damus on the application of W. A. Whaley
and Harry Taylor for writ of mandamus
against the Secretary of the Treasury and
the treasurer of the United States to COM
pei payment to the petitioners of a draft
for $4,000
Whaley and Taylor erected two buildings
at Willetts Point, N. Y, for the govern
mert, and the amount of the draft is due
them on the contract. The draft, it was
claimed, has been withheld under instruc-
lions that it be delivered to them in the
presence of certain alleged creditors in
New York. The petitioners claimed that
it should be delivered to them in this city.
The matter was argued at length about
two weeks ago.
In delivering his opinion Judge Cole
stated that the treasury officials have ex-
haLsted their power to pay. The case, he
said. was fully covered by decision of the
supreme court of New York, the validity
of which has been sustained by the Su-
preme Court of the United States. The
decision in question ruled that the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury possesses discretion
in the matter of making payments, and in
accordance with that stand Judge Cole re-
fused to grant the writ.

ALTON, ILL.,, August 6.-Another letter
has been received from w. L. Sachtleben
who Is conducting the LEM searching eX-
petition. He Is at Erzerum waiting for
governmental authority to proceed with the
prosecution of the murderers of the lost
American wheelman. Having established
the identity of the assassins, he is COM
PEELED to lie idly by until the United States

the guilty parties. He has recently had a
telegram from tho American consul advis-
ing him not to move for the present but to

taken to procure him the needed authority
The State Department is earnestly backing
up United States Minister Terrell in his
demand upon the porte for the punishment
of the three Kurds who murdered young
LEM, the bicyclist who was making a
tour of the world on a wheel. Justice moves
slowly, however, in oriental cour tries, and
it may be soma time yet before the MUIR
derers are arragned. At the last report,
the minister had not been able to secure
the necessary order for the arrest of the
men, and it is probable that this accounts
for the delay which is complained of by
the representative of the periodical which
sent LEM on his last journey, but it is
fully expected here that Mr.. Terrell, who
is much interested in the case, will succeed
in bringing the murderers to justice.

Charles w. Bowman of Bennfng Dies
From His Injuries.
Mr.. Charles W. Bowman, a young man
who resided near Benning, died this morn
ing at Providence Hospital from injuries
supposed to have been received by being
thrown from his buggy near the corner of
Maryland avenue and 18th street northeast
yesterday evening. From all the accounts
Mr.. Bowman appears to have been driving
quite rapidly out Maryland avenue, when
he tried to turn the animal down 18th
street, and was thrown out or fell out of
the vehicle. When he was picked up he
did not appear to be very seriously injured,
although he complained of being hurt
about the body. There was a small red
mark on his forehead near the left temple.
He was removed to Providence Hospital
and his wife notified. She came to the in
stitution, where everything was down to
relieve her husbands sufferings, but with
out avail. The coroner, upon being noti-
fed of the death and the circumstances
connected with it, ordered an inquest in
order to determine the cause of death.
