District Attorney Childers Scared by

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Wylie B. Child

ritory of New Mexico, has just written
the Department of Justice the details OF
which he considers dangerous conspir-
acy, says the Washington correspond

organization known as the American

A COUNT OF THE CASH
SHOWS THAT THE TREASURY
WAS ROBBED
A Literal Nigger in a Literal Wood
pile Stole Almost Nine Hun
dred Dollars


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-A recount Of
the treasury cash, which was completed
late this afternoon, disclosed shortage
of 1858. The recount, made necessary
by the appointment in June last Of Ellis
II. Roberts as United States treasurer
in place of D. N. Morgan, was begun on
July / and since that time about $797,
O00,0 900 in cash has been counted. No
errors nor shortage Of Importance were
discovered until the treasury commit
tee had begun work in silver vault No. 1,
in which there were 1O3, ,653, 900 standard
dollars.
A colored man named Martin, en-
ployed as labOrer, was one day discov-
cred in the coal and wood basement un-
der suspicious circumstances, and a
search resulted in the finding of num-
Der of silver dollars which presumably
he had distracted from some of the
bags. Martin was arrested and made

CANADIAN ENGRAVERS
MAKE BILLS FOR CIRCULATION
IN THE STATES
Tho Counterfeit Silver Certificates
Charged UP to Our Neighbors
Across the Line

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.AThere is strong
reason to believe that the counterfeit
800 silver certificates recently discov.
cred were made in Canada. Secret serv.
ice agents, aided by Canadian police
are now searching through that region
their efforts being principally directed
to the Province of Quebec, says the
Washington correspondent of the Her
aid.
Extraordinary pains are being taker
to trace all paper of the kind on which
Canadian notes are being printed, with
! the idea that it may have formed the
source from which the paper used by the
counterfeiters was obtained Great care
is taken in Canada, as here. to prevent
any of this paper being obtained by out
side persons, but it is understood that
defects have been discovered in the
Canadian offices whereby the paper
might have been stolen. At the Bureau
of Engraving every sheet of paper is
numbered and must be rigidly account
ed for.
Nothing will be given out by the Secret
Service Bureau OF the Treasury De-
partment. but it is known that the
expenses of the investigation now being
made in Canada are large and more
money is needed. On this account Sec
retary Gage sent a letter to the House
Committee on Appropriations. asking
that the appropriation for the detection
of counterfeits be increased from SIS, zoe
10 500, He gave as his reason the
great expense Of the 500 certificate work,
and added that IL would be necessary to
carry the search into foreign country.
He asked that $4,000 of the amount be
made Immediately available. He also
said that there are ordinarily two secret
service agents in the country west of
the tenth meridian. which runs through
Indiana and Alabama. and that none of
the eighteen employed east Of that line
can be spared for Western work for any
length OF time.
II the secret service clue proves accu-
rate. the scope Of the investigation be-
comes wider. It is obvious that counter
felt United States notes made abroad
and brought 10 this country only for cir
culation exposes the criminals to far
less danger of detection. It increases
the possibility. already discussed. that
British engravers did the work. and
vastly enlargeS the NUMBER OF men who |
have TO be shadowed.
1t is understood that every engraver
who has been employed in government
offices both here and in Canada and who |
is known to be Of sufficient ability TO
have done the work, is now under con-
slant surveillance
1t is believed another counterfeit will |
soon follow the first, unless the criminals
are run down and arrested
About So, 1000 900 of the s26, 900. 900 of 500
certificates originally outstanding has
been turned into the treasury for re-
demption. and nineteen counterfeits
have been found.

NOT GUILTY
But Is Convicted and Will Probably
Be Shot

MUSKOGEE, I. T.. Feb. 5. - Judge
Springer, sitting in the United States
Court here, has been compelled to re-
fuse succor to a condemned man who
has been, the Judge admits, illegally
convicted.
The prisoner is William Tiger, Creek
Indian, who has been sentenced in the
Creek courts to be shot for the murder
of another Creek Indian. Tiger was
brought before Judge Springer by a writ
of habeas corpus. He proved to the sat-
isfaction of Judge Springer that he had
not had fair and impartial trial; that
he was not permitted to introduce the
testimony of important witnesses; that
one of the Jurors before whom he was
tried had assisted the prosecution in
gathering evidence against him, and
that the Judge who presided over his
trial was relative of the man for whose
murder he was convicted.
Judge Springer announced. however.
that he was powerless to interfere, mas
much as Federal Judge had no power
to review the actions of the Creek courts
as they existed prior to January 1st last.
Tigers only hope is an appeal to the
Appellate Court of the Indian Territory.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--The consd-
Grafton of the labor arbitration bill by
the house committee on labor will be

every case of labor agitation up to date

NICE NEW GUNS
Are of No Use When Ammunition Is
Lacking

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-Tests Of
artillery ammunition have been resumed
at the Preside. A gun belonging to
Captain Potts light battery of the Third
Artillery was used by Lieutenant Bah
bitt of the ordnance corps. Two rounds
of shrapnel were fired and both shells
were found to be defective.
The Call says: The shells are not old
The ammunition was manufactured by
the contractors to supply the new 3.2-
inch breech-loading rifled cannon with
which the light batteries of he United
States army were recently equipped
All the ammunition for the breach-load-
ing artillery is new. There has not been
sufficient time since the new guns were
introduced for the powder to lose its
strength by age. Continuing. the paper
suggests that the testing officer of the
department may have condemned the
shells and that an investigation may
show that his report was tampered with
or defective ammunition substituted for
the accepted article after the test.

The oath also contemplates. says Mr..
Childers. a struggle with the national
government, as each member is pledged
to proceed on orders to accomplish the
death of the President and his Cabinet

program the members of the New Mex
leo contingent have applied to the Ad5u-
tant-General of the Territory to be en-
listed in the National Guard Of New
Mexico, to be equipped with arms and
ammunition and one or two Gatling
guns for battery purposes. The Adju-
tant-General has replied that until the
various companies are fully enrolled and
organized no arms can be issued.
Mr.. Childers informs the department
that the threats Of these men, high flown
though they may be, are not to be treat-

A STAGE ROBBED
P. n. Barrett Charged With Commit.

REDDING, Cal, Feb. 5.-P. II. Bar
ret has been arrested here charged with
having attempted to rob the Bonneville
stage September 2S. 1897, during which
j. S. Barnett, wealthy citizen of Men
docino, was killed.
EX-Sheriff Sandley has worked on the
case ever since and thinks he has the
right man in Barret who, he says. form
erly resided in Fresno, having been en-
ployed as an engineer by the Southern
Pacific Company prior to the great
strike of 1894 at which time he lost his
position.
Local officers are trying to connect him
with the Keswich Station affair of De-
cember 81, 1897, when one Sharp was
killed. A German who knew Sharp has
identified Barret as a companion Of
Sharp. Barret claims he can prove an
