| Of promise against Major George A. Armes,

tary Gage by Chief Wilkie to-day, shows e5.
arrests during the year, with 21S convic-
tions, 25S awaiting action of the courts. and

with 52 Indiana with 81 and Texas with 40
! OF the persons arrested 454 were born i'm the

sented all parts of Europe and Asia The

amounted TO $55.OO0. of which $4,000 was in
notes and $4,000 in coin. The captured
| plates for the printing of counterfeit notes
numbered 2O9, while 26 steel dies and 30.
| pairs of molds for the manufacture OF
| counterfeit gold and silver coin were Sc
| cured. Ten new counterfeit notes made
their appearance during the year. though
only five of them were deceptive enough tC
be considered dangerous, and the makers
| of all but one of these notes were arrested
| Cuba and Porto Rico, which were visited
| by agents OF the service. were found to be
| comparatively free from counterfeits.
| In view of the fact that repeated arrests
/ and convictions do not seem to act as a
complete deterrent to criminals who make
| counterfeiting their speciality. Chief Wilkie
| recommends an amendment to the Revised
Statutes. which shall provide for the addi-
| ton of five years to the sentence of the
| court for a second conviction, ten years
upon third conviction and a life sentence
| upon fourth conviction. A pleasant ac-
| acknowledgement Is made OF the cooperation
which has been received from the local
| authorities all over the United States, the
| assistance thus received having simplifed
the work of the division in many instances
