midnight in Philadelphia, was up
early Saturday and was in Bristol be-

fact, the committee was ready to go
ahead before the witnesses had ar

DR.. William II. Martin, the Bristol
physician who examined Oscar Booz
as to his physical condition previous
to his entrance into West Point, was
the first witness. He was merely
asked to identify the report he made
to Congressman Wanger, who ap-
pointed Booz to the military acad-
emy He was followed by DR.. Willis
P. Weaver, of Bristol, the Booz fam
lily physician, who did not complete
his testimony Friday.
DR.. Evan j. Groom, of Bristol who
attended Oscar, said he treated him
last year for acute tubercular laryn-
gifts. The witness thought tobasco

had been treated for 1aryngitis, but
did not, believe that it made him less

GANG CAUGHT At LAST.
Eight Italian Counterfeiters Ar
rested by United States De-
tectives at New York.
DIES, PRESSES AND COINS CAPTURED.
AlI-Silver Counterfeits Were Being
Turned Out and Made the Work
of Detection Much More Difficult
Slender Clew That Resulted In
the Final Arrest.

Washington, Jan. THE officials of
the secret service OF the treasury de-
partment, under the direction of Chief
Wilkie. mads number of highly i'm
portant arrests in New York Friday
night and Saturday morning. For at
least two months the secret service
people have been at work to discover
the makers of a large number of all
silver counterfeit coins, mostly quar-
ters and. halves, which were being free
" circulated in New York city. The
result has been that Pho Paris and
seven companions. all Italians. were
arrested and are now in jail awaiting
the action of the United States commits
sioner. The fact that large numbers
of these all-silver counterfeits were
being freely circulated in New York
during the last two years has given
Chief Wilkie great deal of trouble.
The coins being of almost pure silver,
9C0 fine, and fairly we'll made, they
readily passed wherever presented, and
rendered extremely difficult the task
of locating the makers and passers.
The arrests came about in this way:
Important Clew Discovered.
Some time ago two Italians called on
Messrs. Platt & Co., of Gold street,
New York. large dealers in sheet sill
yer and gold, and purchased 1000
ounces of sheet silver. One of the men
was observed at the time of the pur-
chase to compare one Of the sheets
with a coin which he took from his
pocket. probably with view of deter
mining whether the sheet was of the
same thickness as the coin he had in
his possession. This circumstance was
made known to the secret service Off
cials by Messrs. Platt & Co.. and a
force was Immediately set to work
upon this new lead. From the fact
that the men took away with them
only small part of the purchase it
was assumed that they would shortly
return for the rest. After time. the
two men again appeared and took
away another small quantity to Ill
Mangin street. on the East side of
New York. From there they were
shadowed to 95 Watt street. on the
West side.
Well-Equipped Plant
The Mangin street house. as well as
the house on Watt street. was fully
equipped with modern machinery for
rolling silver. punching blanks, etc In
one of the places a new screw press.
weighing five tons, was in operation.
About hundred ounces of silver and
quite large basket full of steel dies
were secured. Many of the dies, how
ever, had been so mutilated as to be. be-
yond use. 1t seemed that as soon as
the policemen had given the alarm
the coupterfeiters began to file away
the faces of their dies to prevent them
from being used as evidence. Two of
the men lived at 112 Mulberry street
New York, and others were scattered
about the neighborhood.
Chief Wilkie said Saturday that the
gang probably was responsible for at
least so per cent. of all the silver coun-
terfeits which have been put in cir
culation in New York during the last
two years.

His influence is so great that any meas
ures which he may recommend for the
defense of Cape Colony and for bring
ing the campaign to an end will be
adopted by Mr.. Brodrick Probably
he has not waited for special reports
before advising the secretary for war
respecting the conduct of the cam
paign. His presence at headquarters
is a source of strength to the govern
ment. There is already more buoy
ant feeling respecting the military
operations.
Nobody can understand what is 60

where the bands of marauding Beers

where mysterious westward trek is
in progress. The dispatches from
Cape Town describing the landing of
marines ana guns and the enrolment
of new colonial defensive force are
read with amazement, especially when
the invaders are reported to be with

strength. While the situation is per-
picking, there is no feeling of anxiety
here, for Earl Roberts. who knows
what is wanted. is where he can

wind up the campaign.
