GOVERNMENT OBJECTS.
Plates and Printed Matter Seized by
Secret Service Agents.

The secret service department of the
treasury today confiscated a lot of printed
matter and plates a. the establishment of
j. w. Meara Il Co.. I'd and n streets south
west, this city. The establishment handles
glue. and has a printing outfit in connec
ton They had been reproducing confed-
crate currency with advertising on the
back. In addition to using this for their
own advertising. they had sold the imita-
ton currency to others to be used for the
same purpose.
Complaints have recently reached the
treasury of the extensive circulation of re-
productions of confederate currency with
advertising matter on the back of the
rotes. The complaints came from this
city and New York city. the treasury
holds that the reproduction of these notes
is III violation of sections 3f0S and J4,;O of
the Revised Statutes, although it has been
generally supposed there was no violation
of the law this work
As result of the complaints. the con-
fiscations were made here and in New Yor-,
city today. In New York 100000 sheets of
the notes and eighteen plates were seized
from a novelty company. The conf1scation
from Meara & Co. was of two tons of print
ed notes and twenty-eight plates
In both cases the printers of the notes
agreed to cancel all orders they have re-
ceived or might receive in the future for
this material. The department makes no
charge of bad faith on the part of the
printers. in both cases they believed It
was legitimate to use the faces of the Cd
notes. Consequently no prosecution will
follow and no reflection is cast on those
from whom the property was seized.
1t is stated that one of the most objec-
tionable features in connection with this
form of advertising was the offer, extern
sively circulated, to give varying large
sums of confederate money for small sums
of good money. an offer which might be
misunderstood and tend to mislead those
not thoroughly familiar with the facts All
of the confiscated material will be de-
strOyed

PLUCKED 4 PENSIONER.
A Money Lender Charged $3.50 for n
Loan of -.


The dispositions of the pensioners who
pledged their pension certificates with pen
sion attorneys and money lenders as col
lateral for loans have all been taken and
the pension officials are engaged compiling
them When this is done the evidence will
be laid before the United States district at
proceedings will follow.
The last witness was examined yesterday
and his testimony was conclusive. He was
an aged colored man. quite feeble, and told
a Straightforward story. He said he would
tell the truth. 1t was true that he had
pledged his pension certificate to obtain
money, and he told the examiner the name
Of the money lender
When pressed for details he said he had
been a laborer up to within few months
ago. when his health failed and he became
practically helpless. 1t was during the
summer that he applied to a money lender
for a small loan. He wanted 81 to pay his
house rent and get something to eat. The
money lender told hin he would let him
have 1t if he would promise to pay him 81
interest and leave his pension certificate
as security. He needed the money so bat
Iy. he said, that he agreed to the PROPOSE
ton and left his certificate. But he
couldn't get the money even then The
money lender told him to come around the
10Th of the month and he would fix him UP
In the meantime he obtained several small
sums. and when the middle of the :, nn.h
arrived the money lender told him he want
ed $50 for the use of the 81. He was des-
perate and had to have the money and he
agreed to pay il. The 81 was then handed
out, and the money lender made him agree
10 have his pension voucher sworn to be-
fore him when it became due To tn he
also agreed. making 10 for the use of 81
for fifteen days.
This is perhaps the strongest case tn,
government has. although it has been
shown by large number of witnesses that
eXcrbitant rates of interest were charged
Tor loans upon pension certificates as COL
lateral.

McKIssON CARRIES PRIMARIES.

Cleveland Mayors Victory May Re-
suit In State Control.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 11-Mayor
Mckisson carried the republican primaries
here last night against the Hanna forces.
The factional lines were not closely drawn,
but last nights results are clearly McKis-
son victory, and will probably enable the
mayor to control the county convention.
He believes that by winning IN this coun-
ty he can also control the next state con-
vention, thereby placing himself in position
to help ex-Commtteeman Kurtz In getting
the control of the republican party In
Ohio. The mayors announcement of his
intention to contest Senator Hanna's seat,
coupled with his victory last night, have
sent hanna stock In northern Ohio down
several points.
