Hoboken, July 21.-Chief Hazen, of
the secret service, with a number of
Hoboken policemen, went to Ruther'
ford, N. j., yesterday and made an I'M.
portant seizure of counterfeits and
counterfeiting apparatus. The seizure
followed the arrest of Richard p. Gen
ger in Hoboken on Thursday night He
had been frequenting a resort in this
city, and getting the barmaids to OBJ
tain change for $40 and 81 bills for
him. When searched at the station
house three tens and one twenty were
found on him. All were bogus, and
all so well executed that only experts
could tell they were not genuine.
GenZer refused to tell where he liv-
ed. Bank books on a bank in Pas
sale, which is close to Rutherford,
were found in his possession, as well
as tax receipts and a record of a
mortgage on property in Rutherford.
Chief Hazen, with assistants, went
to Rutherford. They located the house
which the tax receipts and the mort
gage record referred to. 1t was at
once surrounded In the house was a
young girl and a man. They objected
to the entrance of the officers, but did
not resist when the officers showed
their authority.
The house was searched from top to
bottom 1t was handsomely furnished,
and the prisoner had evidently been
living in luxury. Chief HaZen found
two large presses of fine make. There
were four lithographing stones in the
place They bore the impress and
lines for the printing of $40 gold GER
tificates, $40 gold certificates and 81
silver certificates. There was a lib
eral supply of inks of the colOrs need
ed for the bills, and also very fine
imitation of the government paper
used in genuine bills. The officers
found counterfeits aggregating $1,000.
The man in the place said his name
was Paul Jasen, 80 years old, and re-
fused to talk. The girl is Clara Gen
ger, daughter of the man arrested in
Hoboken. She gave her age as Is, but
looks older
The room in which the outfit was
located was most carefully laid out,
and when the presses were at work
there was no chance that any noise
could be heard outside

To Act in an Advisory Capacity With
No Routine Work.
Secretary Long has announced that Ad-
miral Dewey's relations TO the Navy De
partment in the future would be or an en-
tirely advisory nature and that he would
not be called upon 10 consider minor mat
ters such as constantly arise before the
department. and which often lead the bu-
reau chiefs into acrimonious and prolong-
ed discussions.
There is now no purpose TO form an ad-
miralty board unless the bureau experts
find they are unable to agree expeditiousIy
on the type and character Of the new ships
authorized in which event the whole sub
iect may be taken out Of their hands and
placed with that Of new board. compris-
ing high ranking naval officers, OF whom
Admiral Dewey will be the senior member
and presiding officer.
Secretary Long wishes to leave the Ad-
miral entirely free from vexatious subjects
and not TO ask for his advice except upon
matters Of the highest Importance. Should
the formation of some new naval policy
become advisable Admiral Dewey will be
looked to for advice. but smaller matters
will be left, as they are now, for settle
ment by the bureau chiefs and the Con-
structiOn Board, composed Of the depart
ment heads.
The AdmiraIs duties will not be onerOus
or trying, and unless some unexpected Oc-
casiOn arises he will probably have little
more oH~ially to attend to than did Ad-
miral TO. er
