Omaha, Dec. 2.-The federal court au-
thorities today received evidence that
counterfeit money in small quantities has
been turned out of the Nebraska peni-
tertiary. The story came out through
J. G. Fraser, an ex-convict. while testi-
flying in the United States court Fraser
said the counterfeit money was made in
the penitentiary and put into circulation
from there.
When asked If he had received any Of it
he said no. because he did not belong to
ode gang" and it would therefore do him
no good. He explained the gang as mean
ing the officers of the institution. He did
not mean the warden. but some of the
men in the employ of the contractor. He
gave the names. including that of one
man who was foreman in the penitentiary
until the state bought out the contract.

Philadelphia, Dec. A.-The committee
appointed by the local councils of the Ju-
Nor Order of United American Mechan-
les to raise fund for the purchase of
the Betsy Ross mansion on Arch street,
where the first American flag was made,
have decided to make the movement ma
tional and to ask patriotic citizens
throughout the United States to contrib
ute to the purpose. The executors of the
estate of the late Amalia Mund have
given the committee an option on the
property for the sum of $4,000, and which
is considered very reasonable figure.
Members of the order have pledged an
initial sum of $1,000, and it is thought that
no difficulty will be encountered in Sc
curing the full amount. 1t is proposed
to turn the old flag house into public
museum, in which flags and other pa
triotic relics may be preserved for all
time.
