money brokers that he was a detective from police headquarters. He has
 asked that he might be allowed to ex- anime the firms sock of 100-kronor notes, and has expressed doubt when commercials were shown to him that they were really bad after all. He has stated that he would like to bring a more expert man 10 examine them. | The expert has appeared the next day, and after the notes have been handed
 to him to examine. he has introduced himself as Chief Hazen of the secret service and formally seized them.
 The counterfeits are described as the f1neS.t and most dangerous of foreign note ever produced, and in their way more dangerous even than the famous counterfeit S1OO United States silver certificate that gave the secret service officers so much trouble las. year.
 Owing to the remarkable ability dis played 6n the counterfeiting, the opin- ion was expressed by some of the money brokers yesterday that the countehfe5ing was the work of some American couGEerfeiter The notes are light blue in color. the shade Of the spurious notes being slightly darker than that of the genuine. The most important difference IS the absence in the commercials of s-hrea small points upon the first of a TOW of four crowns on the upper left side of the note, be- meath the Swedish coat of arms. This is an almost microscopic difference. The numbers of the commercials. which are of senies K run up 10 sos, 900. while none of the genuine notes of that series is numbered above S3,O0O. The watermarked paper of the genuine notes is also counte1teited. So dan gerous have the commercials been con sidered in Sweden that the Swedish government has called in the entire issue.
 It was reported yesterday that man believed to belong to the gang that has circulated the bad notes had been in the custody of the United States mar shal at Joliet, H., but had managed to escape.
