METAL WAS GENUINE
Bogus Coin Factory Dug UP At
Chicago and Its Owner in
Durance Vile.
He MANUFACTURED SILVER COIN
With as Much of the Real Stuff in
Them AS Is Used by Uncle
Samuel.

Chicago, July 29.-Behind the bars OF
the county Jail Alfred :. Cunningham
has been prisoner since Saturday aft
ernoon, and since the hour of his ar
rest, for the first time in four years,
Chicago has been free from the circp-
lation of the best counterfeit half dol
lars that were ever put ON the market.
The king of Chicago counterfeiters"
is what the government secret service
officers call their prisoner, and to sup
port this statement they have almost
GEO of the bogus coins and the best out
tit that was ever seized in this district.
Cunningham had eluded the secret ser
vice officers since 1898 and is con-
ceded to be one of the shrewdest max
ers of spurious coin in the country.
Found a Complete Plant.
The arrest was made in house at
the rear of 30 Morgan street, and be
hind the false wall of Il closet the gov
ernment found complete plant and
several sacks of bogus money. SO con-
fident of deceiYng the secret service Of
ficers was the prisoner that when
handcuffed by Deputy United States
Marshal Patterson he laughed at his
captors and said: "Eind any evidence
to prove your charge if you can
Twelve hours later. however, Opera
tives Porter and Gallaher had found
part of the plant. Then the prisoner
in the county jail, Il man of more than
60 years, broke down and cried. He
then told where every part of the plant
might be found, but before the mes
Senger returned to the house where
the government officers We're search
ing they had found everything they
were seeking.
Couldn't Tell 1t from the Good.
Cunningham was one of the few
counterfeiterS in the country who used
steel dies instead of plaster OF paris
mOldS for making the coin. As result
the money turned out of his fiat was
hardly diScernible as counterfeit. The
half dollars contained as much pure
silver as the genuine coins OF the gov
ernment, and for this reason the maker
never had any troublein passing them.
He admitted to the officials that he had
been making them since 1S9S. and as
serted that he had had no accomplice.
and that he alone had passed num-
ber which he could not estimate.
He Passed as an Inventor.
The counterfeiter was machinist
by trade. and the neighborS who saw
him for the last five years going to and
from his lonely workshop understood
that he was an inventor. His three
rooms in the house at the rear of 30
Morgan street, on the third floor. were
reached by narrow stairways and
walks which led around the house in
front. Occasionally he invited some
old man from the neighborhOod to
smoke or drink in his kitchen, but none
of his callers suspected that one of the
best counterfeiting plants in the country
was hidden carefully in an adjoining
room

Des Moines. July 29.-Interest in

morrow centers in the platform. In
view of the fact that Iowa has two

voice the sentiments of the admins
tration. The only contention is
whether the state platform of last

ty. Objection has been made to the
words. I'VE favor any modification of
tariff schedules that may be required
TO prevent their affording shelter to
monopoly" Gov. Cummins and his
following are in favor of the re-
enactment of this clause. The ma
iority members of the Iowa delega-
tion in congress and large follow
ing of the party lead by Lafayette
Young are opposed to this clause be-
cause of the implied meaning that
tariff is the father of the trust. The
matter of the platform Will be made
