A NEW SIS COUNTERFEIT
PLATE FOR THIS DANGEROUS BILL
MADE IN SOUTH BEND.
Martin Misner, the ''Dupe," Brought
Here-MatOr Carter Hunting for
the EngraVer i'm Detroit.

Deputy United States Marshal Rose, of
Angola, arrived in the city last evening in
charge of Martin Misner, who was arrested
at South Bend for passing counterfeit
money. Misner had hearing at Goshen
yesterday before Commissioner Sherwin,
and was bound over to the federal grand
jury. The counterfeit that he passed is one
of the most dangerous that has made its
appearance for some years The plate for
the BILL which is of the f1ve-dollar denomi-
nation, was made by a brother-in-law of
Misner named Dore. Dore il a Polak,
photographer by trade. who formerly
worked in South Bend, but was last en-
ployed in Grand Rapids.
Misner is a simple minded young man,
who seems to have been a dupe of Dore.
The latter wrote Misner saying he would
be in South Bend on a certain evening and
asking him to meet him at a hotel in the
outskirts. Misner kept the appointment,
and in the course of their conversation, his
brother-in-law asked him to get a roll of
bills changed into silver for him, giving him
thirteen of the counterfeit bills. He said
he had some errand to do and would not
have time to attend to it. Misner took the
bills and got them all changed, turning the
money over to Dore that night. The next
morning two of the bills were brought to
him, and when he learned they were coun-
terfeit he redeemed them, but ne had no
money to redeem the others However, he
went to every place where he had got the
bills changed and notified the people that
they were bad bills. He told his story pc
fore the commissioner in a. straightforward
manner.
When Dore was in South Bend he aroused
the suspicion of the police. He rented
room behind the lithographing establish
ment where he was employed. and had
the windows and transom painted and hung
with curtains. They thought he was con-
Quoting a gambling den, and got room
above him. BY boring holes they watched,
and could see him working alone upon
something with instruments. They came TO
the conclusion that ne was making model
for some patent, and dropped the investiga-
engaged in making the plate. Where he
got the paper, which is very fair imita-
ton of bank-note paper is mystery. Ma
jor Carter is in Grand Rapids trying 10 10

Interstate-Comm Decision.


The InterS tate-commerce Commission, in
an opinion by Knapp, commissioner, has
announced it's decision in the case Of the
New York. New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road Company Thomas c. Plat and
Marsden j. Perry, receivers Of the New
York & New England Railroad Company
The question involved in this proceeding
is the right of one carrier to issue a So
called joint tariff of rates between it and
its connecting carriers without the consent
or concurrence of said carriers. Defendant
published a schedule purporting to be
joint tariff Of rates on coal from point on
its road to a number of destinations
reached by the complainant railroad COM
pany whereby the complainant company
received it's full local charges to said
destination from junction points with the
cepted the remainder, which was in each
instance less than it's established local rate
from the place of shipment to the point of
connection. Complainant, which also car
ried coal to the same destinations from
longer route over its own rails, thereby Sc
curing greater compensation than was af-
forded from coal coming to it by defendants
by defendant in said so-called joint tariff
and protested against the use of such
rates by a connecting carrier unau-
thorized and unlawful for want of mutual
consent One decision holds that the COM
plant should be sustained and the de-
PENDANT company be required to cease and
desist from publishing applying
lines which are less than the sum of their
respective local charges.
