A DANGEROUS FRAUD
ONE OF THE CI.EvEREsr COUNTER
FEITs EVER DISCOVERED.
SPURIOUS 500 SILVER CERTIFICATES
So Well Executed Arc They That
Secretary Gage VIII stop the Issue
and Can i'm All Of the Notes Out
standing.

WASHINGTON, u. c.. January g.
ono Of the most dangerous countorfeits
ever discovered has made its appearance.
AIR. John Cramcr. OF The sub-Treasury
40 Philadelphia. to-day brought 10 the
Sccrot-Sorvice Department Eve one-hun-
drod-d0llar silver certificates. head OF
President Monroe. Their general appear
ance is excellent. and they bear such a
close resemblance to the original that
even some OF the employees OF the de-
partmcnt were undecided as 20 their
genuineness. and only when the notes
were taken apart were they convinced OF
the fraud. In to-day's cash another
spurious note was discovered.
The notes brought over by Mr.. Cramer
had been turned into the Sub-Treasury
by two leading banks and the Philadel-
phia cusiom-house, who received them
as genuine. Agents OF the secret service
everywhere have been wired descrlp-
ton Of the notes. with instructions TO be
on the lookout FOR persons attempting TO
pass them. Enquiries have also been
sent 20 all the leading cities as 10 whether
any OF the notes have appeared elsewhere
t-'tttt 49, A'ttAf+N'-fitAti anu W tHlll4El ION.
and the best men In the service will be
pat on the case.
Following is a description of the aOte
as furnished by the secret service:
The note is OF the series of 1891. check
letter u, face-plate l: Tillman, register:
Morgan, treasurer; portrait. James Mon
roe. All numbers so Tar seen begin with
54'. The most marked differences be-
tween this note and the genuine. however.
d b.. found ID 81,
the former being q shade lighter than in
the genuine and the latter slightly diffe-
rent IN formation. Especially Is this true
of SIC and the 4. In the figure 8, the
.ower loop does not extend up as far
toward the centre Of the figure as in the
genuine. and in the figure 4. the space
between the base and the centre cross
line IS narrower than in the genuine
one OF the principal points OF difference
however. is that the new counterfeit is
one sixteenth Of an inch, or less, shorter
than the genuine.
In view Of the dangerous character OF
The counterfeit. Secretary Gage to-day de-
cided TO stop issuing and call in all SlO0
silver certificates, Of which there are
about S26.ool0l0 outstanding These will !
be exchanged for silver certificates Of !
smaller denominations. and the plates de- |
stroyed As soon as new plates can be |
engraved new series will be issued
Assistant Treasurers at all OF the Sub
Treasury cities viii be required TO send |
20 the Treasury in Washington all 800 !
silver certificates i'm their possession. and |
90 require all banks, trust companies, and /
other moneyed institutions TO do the |
same.
Secretary Gage desired the statement |
made that in his Judgment IL was unsafe /
for businessmen or others 10 accept sill |
Yer certificates Of this denomination, and |
in case any were now on hand. they |
should be sent TO the banks for trans
