SECRET SERVICE WORK
CHIEF WILKES STATEMENT OF
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN A YEAR.
Forty-Four Convictions in Indiana
for Counterfeiting-Bogus Money
and Models Captured.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The annual re-
port of Chief Wilkie. of the secret-service
division, Treasury Department, 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
counterfeit notes against an average of
about ten for each year during the preced-
ing 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 currency which
came into the possession of the division
during the year amounted to s30,056. while
sls.117 in counterfeit coin was coniscated.
Coin counterfeiting decreased all over the
country, except in New York city and
vicinity, where there has been a gradual in
crease in this class of crime, particularly
cases in which genuine silver forms the
basis of the limitations. The arrests for
twelve months show a total of 59i- OF these
40 were for manufe turing, passing and
having in possession cCdnterfeit coin. There
were ninety arrests for altering United
States obligations. OF the persons arrested,
262 were convicted; 146 are awaiting the ac-
ton of the courts; one is a fugitive from
justice; one committed suicide while await
ing trial, and IS were acquitted. New York
State leads the list with sixty cases; Illinois
is second with fifty-four; Pennsylvania
fifty-one; Missouri. forty-seven; Indiana,
forty-four; Alabama, twenty-five. The re-
naming four cases were scattered over the
country. There were two cases In Cuba.
OF the prisoners. thirty-ive were Italians;
twenty-four Germans and six Swedes. Four
hundred and thirty-two were born in the
United States.
The contraband property captured in
cluded 272 sets of molds, of which twenty
four were metal and 26 plaster paris. There
were forty-five metal dies for the striking
Of coin and POP plates of various character
for the printing of the currency of this and
foreign countries. Eighty-one plates for
the printing of forbidden advertising ma
terial were also confiscated.
A large amount of work was performed
for the other departments of the govern
ment in connection with national bank de-
falcations, naturs- lzation frauds, thefts of
government stores and property at the
United States mint and assay offices.
The drafting of a habitual criminal act
for submission TO Congress is urged.

A FIvE.P0UND M
II. $. fucker Writes a True Romance
About Maine Fishing.

In a letter to a friend In this city II. s.
Tucker. who is with his family at Upper
Dam. Me-, says: when we came to this
place the old fishermen began telling me
OF their success. One was bemoaning the
loss of a big salmon. He said he had one
on his hook for an hour that weighed from
ten TO twelve pounds. and that IL broke the
leader and went off with IL and a part Of
the fly hanging to It. All the other fish
ermen said IL was the largest salmon seen
or hooked IN this pool this season. OF
course, L was very sorry for his misfor-
tune.
This morning I took my daughters Rena
and Eleanor down below the big dam at
the upper edge of the pool. We saw a big
salmon several times. | cast for him, and
with a little No. 10 hook and fly l hooked
him I'm short order. l landed him by Rena's
help. and To and behold. he had a hook
and fly and part of a leader. which my
friend. the unlucky fisherman. recognized
as those he had lost with the big salmon
a few days before. The fish weighed five
pounds five and one-half ounces. You see
how fish shrink when they get away The
old guides took off their hats TO Rena for
the way she handled the net. They said
IL was never done better
