The graduating exercises of the Baron dc
Hirsch Trade School in East Ninth street were
held last night The graduating class was COM
posed OF thirty.seven boys. of whom eleven were
In tho plumbing department, eight In tho car
pentry department, eleven in the machinery de-
partment, and sovon in the sign painting de.
partment. During the afternoon and evening
visitors were invited to examine the work Of
these pupils.
The school was organized for tho purpose of
training Russian and Roumnnian boys under 10
years to become apprentices and helpers In
various trades. The course lasts flvo and u half
months. Shop methods are followed as closely
as possible, and the pupils make frequent visits
to shops and factories under tho guidance OF
their instructors, who. are practical mechanics.
superintendent Walden says that in spite OF tho
recent hard times many Of the pupils who had no
earning capacity when they entered have been
able to find work upon graduation which paid
them as high as 20 u week. The school 10 embar-
raised at present by lack of room.
Through the generosity OF baroness de Hirsch dc
Gereoth a school building is being. erected in
Sixty-fourth. street, between Second and Third
avenues. and when 1t Is completed the SCOPE OF
the school will DO enlarged.

AFTER the 500 toto Coun.erre,.er..

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-Extraordinary efforts
are being made to apprehend the makers Of the
500 counterfeit note. Chief William p. Hazen
of the Secret Service Division of the Treasury
has been instructed to spare no expense in
prosecuting his inquiries, and unlimited leave
OF absence from his office in Washington has
been given him. Major Bracket, chief Of the
Treasury Appointment Division, was to-day
designated to be acting chief of the Secret Ser
vice Division in Mr.. Hazen's absence. Despite
the fact that no countcrfeits Of the 800 de-
nomination have been found for several days
spurious notes are in circulation.
1t was said at the Treasury Department late
to-day that Chief HaZen had obtained informn-
tion which will probably result in the appre-
hension Of the counterfciters within a few days.
Three counterfeit $40 gold pieces were sent to
the Treasury Department to-day from Dnnville:
Va. The coins were found there by the Chief OF
Police. They are made OF copper, with o thin
plating Of gold, and bear the date Of 1881. They
are eighty-one grains short in weight. Spurious
coins of this denomination have been discovered
only once before by the Government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-ohicial reports con
corning the murder of Frank Epps, an appren'
tice on the United States flagship Olympia, NJ
Nagasaki, Japan, were received at the Navy
Department to-day from Rear Admiral NC
Nair, commanding the Asiatic naval station
They show that Epps was assaulted and thrown

no greater effort to apprehend the murderers
than they did in the case Of Montgomery, a
sailor on the Yorktown, who was murdered at
NaRasaki last September. According to tho
Admiral's account, liberty had been granted
Epps from / o'clock on the afternoon OF Dec.
IL to z o'clock the next morning. Ho was with
companions until 8 o'clock in the evening,
when he left shore in a small boat for the
Olympia. Several Of the crew of the British
ship Saint Enoch saw three men scufiing In
the small boat at the time, and heard cries for
bolp. One Of tho men was struck with q stick
and thrown overheard. The Saint Enoch sent q
boat to render aid. BY the time 1t reached the
place where tho trouble occurred the sman

THE MONEY ORDER FRAUDS.
Postmaater-General Gary Thinks They Are
small In Proportion to tho Amount Handled.

small In Proportion to tho Amount Handled.
Gary is inclined to depreciate the discoveries
In the Auditors office for the Post Office De-
partment of frauds in the money order system,
as he believes that in proportion to the i'm
mense amount of money handled yearly and the
vast number of money orders the loss Is infn-
itesimal. So far, he said to-day, q loss Of $3.50
only had been discovered. He attributes the
smallness of the loss to the honesty of the Post
masters and their clerks, but the greatest
number of those familiar with the operations of
the money order system attribute it to the fact
that not one In a thousand knew
enough about the system of checking accounts
ment without fear Of detection. Now that the
system has been changed, and any Postmaster
who attempts to play the game can be easily
detected, 1t Is interesting to see just how the
eminent out of millions of dollars annually and
never have been found, out. AS 1t Is, the de-
partment will, have a hard years work before
1t to go over the accounts to find out how much
have been stolen as easily as $40, the only req
uisite being a sufficient number of Postmasters
or clerks who were shrewd enough to take adj
vantage Of the opportunity.
Castle the Deputy Auditor. Mr.. b. D.. Lawshe,
submits q number OF recommendations. and
points out the different methods by which the
department was liable to extensive frauds.
The principal change from present methods. he
tenn of checking the debit side OF money order
statements by the paid orders instead of tho
coupons. The system Of checking by the cou-
pons was devised to enable the office to audit
money order statements Immediately upon their
FeCeiDt.

Representative Wright of Massachusetts doubt
less led many memoers to the belief that the de-
bate on the Civil Service law would be post
poned, and when Speaker Reed took the chair
hardly threescore members were in attendance.
1t had been arranged. however. to carry on the
debate two hours. and at the end of that period
enter upon the execution of the special order.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Burleigh of Maine
was agreed to. setting apart next Saturdays
session for the delivery Of euloRies upon the life
and services of his predecessor. the Hon. Seth

Mr.. Corliss tRep., Mich.) was the first speaker
of the day. He antagoniZed the Civil Service

gigantic monopoly and trust of modern times.

he said, the other system Of making appoint

Contrasting the methods Of the two systems,
MIR. Hepburn expressed the opinion that the old
men acquainted with the service then and now
that there had been not only no improvement.
this. Mr.. Hepburn said, was natural. Nothing

MALNE's HUNTING SEASON.
res Thousand Deer Estimated TO Have Heen
Killed By sDortAmen In 1907.

BANGOR, Jan. S.-Reports from the 1916 reg
iStered guides in Maine show that in the hunt.
ing season OF 1897 they piloted through the
woods about 1000 nonresident hunters and
1000 resident. They were employed for
3g.3l2 days, at So q day. making a total Of
9lI7.036 in wages earned. an average OF Sss. so
each. .
II is now estimated that there were killed In
Maine last year 10000 deer. $50 moose, 1853
caribou, and $50 be ,rs, and that the visiting
Dportsmen spent fully 81 500. 600. There is great
opposition TO the plan lately proposed OF licens-
ing nonresident sportsmen and making them
nay a tax, either 80 much for the privilege of
Hunting in the State or SO much for each deer,
moose, or caribou taken by them out of the
State. Opponents Of the plan fear that 1t would
diao0praEQ visitors from coming 70 Maine.
