FRAUD POSTAL CARDS
Counterfeit Believed to Have
Originated in Chicago.
AN OFFICIAL TALKS
FIRST INSTANCE OF ANY MAGNI-
TUDE KNOWN.
Poorly Executed and Thought to Have
Been Sent Out in a
Lump.

The discovery of a counterfeit postal
card in circulation. believed to have origt-
mated in Chicago, and the attempt OF the
New York postal authorities to locate the
counterfeiters has aroused much interest
among postal officials generally, and par
ticularly among those who have to do with
postage stamps and postal cards
This instance of the counterfeiting Of pos
tai cards is believed to be the first OF any
magnitude in the history Of the service, and
certainly within recent years. 1t may be
that there were one or two other instances
but these We're inconsequential and are not
now recalled, but this time great quantity
is believed to have been thrown upon the
market. In fact, the counterfeiting of post
age stamps has not been attempted within
recent years. Once in a while stamp viii
be caught up and held for examination,
but II is found to be washed or otherwise
improperly and illegitimately treated, but
not counterfeited.
THE counterfeiting of postal cards"
said a well-informed postal official TO a
Star man this morning. lis new and OF de-
cided interest. The public, however need
nave little fear that the inspectors will not
sooner or later apprehend the counterfeit
ers. L have seen a sample of the counter
feits. They are poorly executed as regards
printing and the quality of paper, and have
not the new, fresh look which distinguishes
the real article How were they showed
upon the market and into the hands of the
public and dealers? Well, that to a large ex-
tent in the light Of cur present Informal
uon is matter of conjecture. They were
probably printed in large quantities and
sold in bulk to business houses whose mall
order and postal card advertising business
is extensive. Perhaps the sample Of sale or
few cards on the top Of each package
were genuine At any rate II is my opinion
that the counterfeiters concentra ted their
sales at one time, destroyed or buried their
plant. and are keeping under cover with
the money received.

FOR BIPARTISAN BOARDS
President Shiveley. of the Reformatory.
Predicts a Change.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April s.
Charles E. Shively, of Richmond,
president of the board of manag-
ers of the Indiana Reformatory,
at Jeffersonville, predicts that
the legislature of 1903 will make
all state institution boards bi-par-
tisian. 1t is his opinion that
trouble would not often arise at
the Michigan City prison if the
board were bipartisan. The
Michigan City prison board is the
only state institution board COM
posed of three republicans.
The Jeffersonville board is COM
posed of four members, two re-
publicans and two democrats.
Mr.. Shiveley was asked whether
a board of four does not resultin
troublesome tie votes. He ans
wered that there had never been
the least trouble IN the Jefferson
vile board. He says institutions
in several eastern states have
boards of four. AS a member of
the state senate, Mr.. Shively, in
1895, advocated measures doing
away with partisan boards.
''They pointed me out as man
to be pitied as If 1 were not quite
right in the head" he said.
He thinks "non-partisian," as
applied to the boards of three,
composed of two members of one
party and one of another. is a
misnOmer. He would have all
the boards composed of four
members. two of one party and
two of another.

HIS DEBTS WIPED OUT
Man Once Worth S2.OOO,O0O Discharged
From Bankruptcy.

CHICAGO, April 6--Henry V.
Lucas was one of the 16 bank
rupts for whom the United States
District Court yesterday wiped
out $4,000 in debts. The
schedule fled by the petitioner
contained no assets and showed
that, in 1882, Mr.. Lucas fell heir
to 50, 900, 600 as his portion of a
S9,000,0 600 estate left by his faith
er. Twenty years ago Judge
Lucas, the petitioners father,
was reckoned the wealthiest man
west of the Alleghenies. He was
a money king in ST. LOUIS, where
a street is named in his honor.
Among other ventures, the son is
said to have lost $500, 1000 by the
failure of a barge line, which he
started between St. Louis and
New Orleans. Mr.. Lucas's for
tune slipped away rapidly, and
he came to Chicago to work for
a living.

Cuban Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The
great battle over reciprocity,
which created such protracted
struggle among the republicans
both in caucus and in the com.
mittee on ways and means, will
be fought out on the floor of the
House this week. The ultimate
passage of the Payne bill, pro-
viding for a 20 per cent. reduc-
ton on tn products of Cuba after
the negotiation of a reciprocity
treaty and the enactment of our
immigration laws by the Repub-
lie of Cuba, is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion, but the situation
is a complicated one, owing to
the divisions among the Demo
Gratis as well as among the Re
pubiicans.

PRODUCTION INCREASING
Oil Shipments From Indiana Are Grow.
ing Rapidly.

MONTPELIER, Ind, April =
The pipeline reports Of the runs
and shipments of oil from the In.
diana oil field for the month of
March make a very creditable
showing. 1t is the best month
yet for the new year. During
March the total shipments of
crude oil from the state were
923, 141 barrels, 5O,O92 barrels
more than in February and 90, 265
barrels more than in January,
when the shipments naturally
should be heavier. The average
daily shipments for March were
90, 779 barrels.
The total runs of crude oil from
the wells of Indiana for March
were 655, 1876 barrals, or an aver
age per day of 81, 169 barrels.
This shows increase over the Feb
ruary runs of 106, 907 barrels and
over January of 18, 971. This IN
dicates that the production of the
various fields is gradually in
creasing, and the time is not far
ahead when the production of the
state will be close to that of
northwestern Ohio.
According to the figures the
pipe lines purchasing oil haye
paid to the operators and farmers
the magnificent sum of 1924, 932..
80 for March alone, while for the
past three months the total paid
out for the crude product at the
wells amounts to 81, 474, 095. 20.
This industry means much to tire
people of Indiana and puts a mint
of money in circulation. The
most notable increase in the new
comes from Grant
county.

went over the American falls at 6
o'clock yesterday evening. 1t
was the most sensational cataract
suicide in years. The woman
jumped over the railing of Goat
island bridge about ten feet from
shsre. William Connors, of Liv-
erpool, England, who was on the
bridge at the time, ran down the
shore and waded into the river.
A rake was passed to him, which
he succeeded in fastening to her
clothes. Miss Tansey begged
piteously to be saved. He tried
to draw the woman toward the
shore, but her clothing tore and
she was carried over the brink of
the falls. Two hundred people
saw the woman 60 to her death.

WHEAT HOLDS FIRM
Kansas Crop Report Turns Local Senti.
ment Bullish.

CHICAGO, April 8-Crop re-
ports were the important factor
in yesterdays wheat market.
The most attractive were from
Kansas. The trade had more
official crop information than on
any day so far, and most opera
tors placed confidence in it.
Kansas reports showed a condi-
tion of 20 instead of "a, as given
out Saturday, and loss of 1,OOc-
900 acres. Last year Kansas IN
April showed a condition of 105.
A comparison'with other state re-
ports in most instances recorded
lower conditions than last year,
although not enough so to be SEN
sational, but they had good ef
feet on local spectators, and
made a conservatively bullish
feeling. But with the outsider
they had little weight. Prices
advanced &c early on the Kansas
report, but broke &c on realizing
and selling by the southwest, only
to rally &c on covering by shorts
and closed with a gain of 4c to &c.
May sold between 70s@714c, and
closed at 714c. July opened
about &c higher at almost the top.
1t sold at II 15c,and closed at 714c
getting to 4c over May, against
4c Saturday. September ad-
vanced to 4c over May and closed
at 718@714c.
