DECREASE IN CONTEMPLATING.
But Chief Hazea Says There Has Beeu q
Large Increase In "Rnised Notice.

less
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE annual report of
MIR. W. 7. Hazen. chief OF the secret service.
says that the CONTRIBUTING OF paper money has
materially decreased during the past year. This
can. in part. be ted for by the large in
crease in raised or altered notes found
in circulation. some OF which are most skilfully
executed. He attributes tho facility with which
the public are deceived by raised notes to the
frequent changes in the designs OF United
States notes. which make 1t almost impossible
for the public TO become familiar with the cur
rency. 1t Is also made plain, he adds. that
the distinctive paper in use Is an aid 10
the criminal rather than n protection to
the public, because of the fact TINT a note
printed upon pape. containing silk threads as
anumber OF the best counterfeits and all OF the
raised notes are is accepted In n majority OF in
stances without hesitation. owing Ia. tho err
roneous impression that the paper used by the
Government is manufactured by n secret process
and cannot be counterfeited. He has also be-
come convinced that the Introduction of silk
into the paper tends TO lessen its wearing quail
ity. and Is therefore responsible. to a degree. for
its short lie.
The counterfeiting OF gold and silver coins
has been on the increase in all parts of tho
country. Some counterfeits OF silver coins have
appeared on the Pacific coast that nre quito as
good as tho genuine. both In weight and fine
ness. and made from dies OF excellent workman
