C0UNTERFEITERS
WORKED IN JAIL
How They Made Plates in Prison
Cell.
PROMINENT LAWYER ON TRIAL
CHARGED WITH BEING IMPLI-
GATED IN SCHEME.

Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 1S.-John L.
SempIe, a lawyer of Camden. n J..
was placed on trial today in the Unit
ed States district court before Judge
Mcpherson, charged with aiding and
abetting Arthur Taylor and Baldwin
Breden in making, issuing and at
tempting to circulate counterfeit $40
notes.
Semple is the thirteenth man ar
rested in connection with the Ian
caster, Pa. revenue stamp counter
feiting conspiracy, conceived by Jacobs
K Kendig, cigar manufacturers of
that city, in 1897. Nine men have gone
to the penitentiary after conviction on
charges growing out of the conspiracy
and three others are in the county
prison awaiting sentence.
Semple pleaded guilty. After the
jury had been selected and United
States District Attorney Holland had
made his opening address, the court
took recess.
In his address District Attorney Hol-
lard told how Taylor and Bredell, in
their prison cell, under the direction of
Lawyer Semple. had secured a small
press, having it made at Snow Hill;
how three plates and an engraving tool
had been bought for them in New
York in December, 1889; how they
made the plates in their cell, working
at night by the light of an oil lamp;
how the cOunterfeits were shown to
Semple and approved by him, and fin
ally how they were put in circulation
by Harry Taylor, brother Of Arthur.
The district attorney said he would
prove all this and in addition show
that Senple had secured the $50 new
81 certificates and had given them to
Bredell and Taylor, who washed them
and impressed them with the $50
plates.
The principal witness at the after
noon session was Taylor, who ex-
planned in every detail how they car
ried on their counterfeiting work in
Jail. He told how he and BredeH had
constructed a hood out of blankets so
that the keepers could not see the light
of their lamp as they worked at night.
I He told Of how they secured the tools
and said they usually did the work at
night. After they had finished each
night they would conceal their tools in
a valiSe and the engraver's plate in a
magazine. The valise and magazine
/ had not been inspected by the keepers
or prison inspectors in six months.

MINER is RESCUED
FROM LIVING TOMB

Pceahontas, Va, Nov 1S.-The work
Of removing fallen slate and debris
from the Baby mine continues. This
morning Fritz MOulton was found en-
tombed in a room on the west side. He
was living, but a few hours more
would no doubt have brought death.
For six hours physicians worked with
him before he was restored to con-
seriousness. He is yet feeble, but will
likely recover.
There. was great rejoicing when the
news spread that he had been recov-
cred alive. MOulton says that all
within the mine Thursday night COM
mented on the heaviness of the at
mosphere, and that a number of the
men left their work ahead of him. He
soon found that danger was imminent
and, along with several others, started
running from the drift.
A heavy report that shook the noun
tain was heard and an instant later a
huge cloud of smoke and flame was
seen coming. He lost sight of his COM
panions, but he turned into a side
room as quickly as possible and was
shut of by falling slate

Augusta. Me-, Nov. 1S.-Although the
last legislature passed a law imposing
a maximum penalty Of ten years i'm
prisonment or d fine not exceeding
81 200 for negligence or carelessness

FRUIT JAR COMBINE
WAS NOT A SUCCESS

Marion, Ind. Nov. 1S.-The affairs Of
the fruit jar combine have been closed
and from this time every firm viii be
independent J. P. Mccullough, presi-
dent of the Marion Fruit Jar & Bottle
company. said today:
For the last two seasons the fruit
jar manufacturers Of this country
have sold their entire product through
one selling agency. The scheme Is a
practical one if t were possible TO fix
an equitable ratio of interest between
the different firms, but this could not
be done. Under the selling agency ar
rangement too many manufactu rers
in other lines of glassware had begun
TO enter the fruit jar field, This was
already having an effect to disrupt
the favorable market conditions
From now on each manufactures
will sell his own product at whatever
price ne thinks best.

intentions. As to the Colorado Mid
land, have nothing at present to say,
but may later"
The rumor is persistent that the Mid

the Clark road near Salt Lake.
It is believed locally that the an
nOuncement viii soon be made that
Colonel Dodge has become the head Of
the Colorado Midland, and that the
road viii be extended toward Salt
Lake. General W. J. Palmer and
Colonel Dodge were understood to own
a half-interest in the Midland while
they were in control of the Rio Grande
Western At the time they sold the
latter road it was reported that they
had also disposed Of their interests in
the Midland. Developments since then
have indicated that this is not true.
George Gould denied it, and several
straWs have pointed in the same direc-
ton.
The Rock Island, Burlington and
Santa Fe would like connection be-
tween Denver and Salt Lake, as this,
together with the San Pedro, would
give them an outlet through Salt Lake

Grande, now in the hands Of their
rivals.

DEATHS CAUSED
BY VACCINATION

SEVEN VICTIMS SUccUMB
MUCH EXCITEMENT RESULTS
AND OFFICIALS TAKE ACTION.

Philadelphia. Pa. Nov. 1S.-The
alarm that has beer caused by tetanus
following vaccination in Cambridge, N.
J.. has caused the city officials there
to take official action. The board Of
health and the board Of education each
held meetings today. The former de-
eideG TO request physicians to cease
vaccinating persons until an investiga-
tor as to the cause of the lOckjaw
cases has been made. and the latter
regciuds the order of compulsory vac

nine cases of tetanus so far reported,
seven of the victims have dieo and the
other two are still in a dangerous con-
dition
The board of health appointed a COM
mittee of three to act in conjunction
with the county physician and make z
complete investigation o. the whole
matter. DR.. II. H. Davis, president o
the board, in stating the purpose Of
the call said he did not believe that
the vaccination was the direct cause
of tetanus, but that he was thorough
" aroused and the people were looking
to the board for some action He,
therefore. believed something should be
done.
Cases in Philadelphia.
There have been several cases OF
tetanus following vaccination reported
in Philadelphia, but no official action
has been taken. The question of com

and teachers has been taken to the
courts and resulted in a verdict for
vaccination. The case was that Of a

vaccinated. She was suspended by the
school board and she carried her case
to the court. The board was sustained
and the teacher was dismissed from

CARGO OF COLD
Big Shipment of Yellow Metal to
Europe.
OVER $1,000, 600 GOES OUT
LARGEST AMOUNT OF TREASURE
EVER CARRIED By SHIP.

New York. Nov 1S.-A new high record
for gold. engagements to Europe from
this port was established today when
gold 10 the amount Of S70S2, 5S1 was taken
from the assay office for shipment on
the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm DER Crosse,
which will leave tomorrow. The gold was
ordered in the regular course OF business
and according to report, all but Sl,0JO,O90,
which goes to Berlin viii be sent to
Paris the steamship dropping the greater
part at Cherbourg. The shipments We're
made possible by the high rate Of ex-
change and it was figured today that Ut
less rapid change of rates occurs, fully
SIS 100000 more win follow.
The shippers and the amounts follow;

bank. 81 ,2435Z5: Goldman Sachs & Co,
SI,005533 Barring, Mag0un & Co, $75S, go
The departure of this big amount OF
gold marks a change of attitude on the
part of marine underwriters in this coun-
try For a long time. even with the mod
crate and safe Ocean-gOinS vessels, 1t
was the custom of underwriting officials
not to risk any more than about S40O,O0O
IN any one bottom.
How Gold Was Packed.
All the gold going out tomorrow will
/ be IN the form of bars. The packing of
this vast amount Of gold was done today
at the assay office and was not com
pleted until a late hour The 100000
gold to Germany was packed in OblOng
boxes. The remainder was put into new
oak kegs, which were strongly bound
with iron hoops and carefully sealed, top
! and bottom.
To offset the heavy exports of gold,
there were unusually large tenders of
government bonds for redemption at the
sub-treasury. One house turned in 81
6S5, 600 of the fours of 1925. for which 81
34S,521 was paid out and other payments
for bonds were made, the total being in
excess of s2,500,O00 The bank Of Mon
treal has received $1.005.0O0 gold from Aus
tralia.
The Mail and Express today said: An
/ explanation of the unusual engagements
of the day is found in the fact that to-
morrow's gold steamer is a very fast
boat which means a saving of interest, a
very important matter in gold exports"
The German shipment attracted atten-
! ton because most bankers do not see a
profit in sending gold to Berlin at pres
/ ent- Some time ago, while exchange was
/ far below current prices, $2500pO gold was
