MANY PROMINENT MEN
Involved In This Case, Which
Has Called Up the Best
Work OfSecret Ser
vice Officers.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-Tt e
United States treasury department se-
cret service agents have arrested in
Philadelphia the last of the notorious
band of counterfeiters who for upward
of two years have been operating ia
this city and Lancaster, Pa.
The capture is most impor tant one,
as the conspiracy outrivaled in the
magnitude of its scope and its possible
consequences anything OF like nature
hitherto known in the history of the
United States.
The men gathered in by the secret
service dragnet are six in number:
Arthur Taylor and Baldwin S. Bred ell,
expert engravers; Harvey K. New lit,
prominent young lawyer of Philad ell
phia; James Burns, William L. Ken
dig and William Nj. Jacobs, of Lsrcss-
ter. The two last named are extensive
cigar manufacturers and dealers in
leaf tobacco.
The execution of the plates, from
which were printed the notes and
stamps that for a period baffled even
the government experts themselves.
was accomplished in Philadelphia. A
complete counterfeiting.o vas cap
tured in their establishment Ut Lam
caster, run ostensibly by Kendig as q
cigar mandatory, and the plate of the
famous "Monroe hesd' 800 silver
certificate equally dangerous. was
seized along with the printing equip
ment and several tons of paper used in
the manufacture of the spurious re-
venue stamps.
Two million cigars were also seiz-
ed.
The ceunterfeit was first discovered
In Philadelphia in January. 1898, and
the Investigation began simultaneously
In New York, Chicago and Philadel-
phis Philadelphia was the place
where the spurious character of the
300 notewas discovered ,and as quite "
number of them had appeared the
more hopeful than in other great CEN
res.
According to the theory advanced by
he government the conspiracy 20
lefraud the government out of millions
If dollars was'originated five.yesrs ago
" William NJ, Jacobs, who John E.
chief of secret service of the
department, says is the king
lin of the stupendous conspiracy
.gainst the integrity of the govern
nent's currency system. and it was at
lis home in Lancaster that the actual
york fof manufacturing the spurious
liver certificates and internal revenue
lamps was carried on.

CROMWELL DAY
Made.the Occasion of an EnthusiaS.
tic NOn--Conformist CeIebra-

LONDON, April 25.-To the rituals
tic controversy with which all England
is now agitated is due in q grea,
measure the intense enthusiasm which
was thrown into today's celebration
of the three hundredth anniversary OF
the birth of Oliver Cromwell. In Lon
don and elsewhere the noL-conformists
and free .churchmen have seized the
occasion as an opportunity for demon
strstions against the established church
and it's Cat b olic tendencies.
Throughout the Kingdom memorial
meetings are being held, the speeches
and addresses being devoted almost en-
tirely to laudiDg Crom wells services
to Professionalism.
The most pota ole demonstration WAS
that held in Northamptonshire. The
scene of the ceremonies was Naseby
battlefield. where Cromwell attained
his greatest triumph. An a1l-dsy ju::
bilee celebration was held and among
those taking part were hosts OF men
and women who have taken prOmi

THElCO6HLAN CASE
Excites Hostility Among German
Americans

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Capt.
Coghlan's reply to Secretary Long was
received at the navy departmental q DON
but it is not believed it will be made
public before the secretary makes his
decision in the case. 1t may be said
that on account of Germany's protest
his case stands to some extent prejudic-
ed.
The belief that he will be relieved of
the command of sthe Raleigh in due
time or, otherwise disciplined, is gen
eral.
The German American public is
taking a rather hostile interest in the
case. Todaysa newspaper likeness of
Coghlsn reached the secretary from
New York. The forehead is branded
"Loafer' and beneath the picture is
written: "We German Americans have
votes. We won't do q tLing to the
party that backs this loafer.'
