Lighter Than for Many Years.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The annual
report of Chief Wilkie of the secret SER
vice division of the treasury depart
ment, submitted to Secretary Gage to-
day, indicated that this has been the
most successful year in the history of
the division. During the twelve months
ending June 80, 1901, there were placed
in circulation but four new counter
felt notes, against an average of about
ten for each year during the preceding
ten years. Only one of these new notes
was at all dangerous, the others being
the product OF unskilled workmanship.
The total amount of counterfeit money
which came into the possession of the
division during the year amounted to
$3O,056, while s1S,117 in counterfeit coin
was confiscated. Coin counterfeiting
decreased all over the country except in
New York city and vicinity, where there
has been gradual increase in this class
OF crime. particularly cases in which
genuine silver forms the basis Of the
limitations. The arrests for twelve
months shows total of 594.

POLITICIANS AND REFORM.
Discussed by the National Social and
Political Conference in Spite of
Heat.

DETROIT, July despite the op-
pressive heat, this mornings session of
| he National Social and Political Con-
Terence was better attended than any
preceding one Ex-Congressman John
| J. Lentz, Of Ohio, was the first speaker,
discussing Should Political Reforms
Precede Social and Economic Re-
|forms?" Mr.. Lentz said:
Political reform must precede So
cial and econmic reforms, for at present
political parties are not organized as
reform forces. With the machines OF
leach party ready to commit any crime
Ito secure preferment and power there is
no hope to secure any reform from
them. We must educate the masses"
Mr. Lentz also contended for govern
ment ownership of the telegraph and
telephone lines and municipal owner
ship of all public utilities.
Are political parties necessary, or are
they obstacles to progress?" was dis
cussed by Mayor Jones, of Toledo. He
took a strong stand against all politi-
cal parties and political conventions,
saying: Il am a man without a party,
because consider parties positively in
imical to liberty in this country He
declared that candidates nominated by
convention do not represent the people,
blu. the bosses who nominated them.
Can reform be gained through the
parties?" the next topic, was discussed
by J. B. Howarth, OF Detroit, business
partner of the late Ex-Governor Pin
gree, who was to have read paper on
this subject; Hon. Geo. Fred Williams,
Of Massachusetts; 10 A. Parker, chair
man OF the national committee of Mid
