WASHINGTON. July Gloom
plants have come to the United States
secret service headquarters of the oir-
culation of one. two and five dollar
notes of the old state bank of the city
of New Brunswick. N. j. The con-
plants call upon the secret service
officials to hunt down and prosecute
persons who pass the notes. The
secret service officers have no author
ity In the matter. The circulation
of the notes under the existing curious
conditions is not an infraction of the
laws against counterfeiting. Al
though the state bank circulation cets-
ed to exist under authority OF the law
in 1864. it is supposed the person now
circulating the notes has secured n SET
1
which they were originally printed.
Samples of the bills have been sent
to the secret officers and they are pro-
nounced excellent in design and exc
cution. The department. however.
can do nothing in the case except to
warn the public against accepting the
notes. The secret service officers
arrested John Wilson in St Louis
last spring for passing the same kind
of notes. but after an attempt to work
up a case against him it was finally
nolle prosecuted. The department be;
lieves the only way to reach the par
ty circulating the bills is through a
prosecution against them for secur-
ing goods under false pretenses, 1t
is said that probably s20OO,O00 of the
notes are in circulation.

balk." he continued, "but we don't
mind little heat like this"
The words of the colonel echoed
the sentiments of his men. who learn
ed in their recent experience in the
rederal service how to take care of
themselves. The excessive hpat
has had little i'll effect upon the cJfn-
mand Not case of serious illness
has developed.
