Ineffective w

-..r. Ineffective Wheel Guards.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In regard to tine death of DIR. Moffatt by
being run over by Columbia car lately
it was not so much the fault of the "fend-
err as the utter failure of the wheel
guard under the car. The fender is to
catch people who are standing on the track
The. wheel guard is to pick up those
who are lying on the track. Had the
wheel guard on the car that ran over
the doctor been a truly automatic safety
device he would not and could not have
been materially injured. 1t would not have
been possible to have run over the doctor
with, an effective wheel guard on the
car. This has been demonstrated time and
again in this city through experiments with
effective devices. ;. 20. -,..,s CITIZEN.

Stewardship.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-WiIliam P. Hazen, chief of the secret service, treas ury department, in hls annual report shows the total number of arrests made during the last fiscal year by the agents of his division and other qualified of ficers to have been 780 Of this number g8 were for manufacturing, passing, etc, counterfeit paper money l5 for al- tering obligations of the United States and 568 for manufacturing, passing, etc., counterfeit coins.
 Of the whole number of persons ar- rested 175 were convicted and sentenced, IA pleaded guilty and were sentenced. The remainder are either awaiting trial or sentence or not tried The fines amount to S45, 455. The sentences ag- gregate 720 years. The amount of al tered or counterfeit notes captured dur ing the year was S157, ,5531, and the coun- terfeit coin captured was $l0, ,678. There were also captured large quantity of counterfeit postage stamps, steel plates, dies, fiber paper, moulds. etc.
 Chief Hagen expresses the opinion that the distinctive paper in use is an aid to the criminal rather than 9 pro- lection to the public, because of the fact that note printed upon paper contain ing silk threads Gas number of the best counterfeits and all of the raised notes are) is accepted in a majority of instances without hesitation owing to the erroneous impression that the paper used by the government is manufactur- ed by Q secret process and cannot be counterfeited. He has also become con- vinced that the introduction of silk into paper tends to lessen it's wearing quality and is therefore responsible to degree for it's short life.
