COUNTERFEITED In PEN
Pennsylvania Convicts Occupied Their
Time Making Bad Money.
BY THE INSPECTORS.
There is a Belief That Certain Employees Who
Did Favors for the Prisoners, Such as
Mailing Letters, In Violation Of the Rules oil
the Institution, We're Given the Bogus
Money as Tips.

Philadelphia, Pa. (SpecaD.-Coun-
terfeiting within the walls OF the East
ern penitentiary, where more than hall
score of men are now cXplating SIM
liar crimes, is the latest sensational de-
velopment in the investigation that Is
being made into the alleged loose meth
DDS i'll the institution.
Criminals, principally men who are
undergoing sentences for countertelting
and it is believed at least one employe
of the institution have been dlscov
cred in combination to manutac-
ture and put into circulation large
quantity OF bogus dollars, half-dolars
and quarters.
1t is known that large quantity OF
the coin is already in circulation in the
prison. but how much OF it has gone
outside is undetermined. Enough evi-
dence has been established to show that
at least dozen men arc concerned in
the conspiracy.
1t was learned from man who was
released from the prison less than a
week ago that the discovery OF the
crime has been the sole topic OF dis
cussion within the prison walls for
weeks past among prisoners as well as
employees
That the conspiracy, bold in its con-
ccptiOn, daring i'll its execution, dis
playing a cunning that has so tar bat
fled the secret service men, reveals
criminal condition that is almost with
out precedent, is the view expressed by
prominent police officials to whom the
details are known.
According to the statements of the
man referred to above, it has been ap-
parently established that the man who
is looked upon with the greatest suspi-
cion by the officials and the detectives
is J. {. Hoffman, the expert colncr,
who was arrested in this city in De
Cember last ior SHOWING the queer i'll
Schuylkil county. a companion OF his,
who was arrested for the same Ofcn$c,
is believed to be in the institution also.
Another, whom the same informant
indicated was looked upon with Su5-
picion is Bart Rucllo, who is probably
the most notorious Of all "concrs.'
In the same institution are members
OF the notorious gang OF "colncrS'
known as the Julian gang,
From statements made by this man it
was apparent that the knowledge OF the
cOunterieiting conspiracy was known
throughout the prison Tor long time,
A statement issued by the prison in
speetor incrS the countericiting has
not been extensive. This is not bclicv-
ed is the case.
There is a report to the effect that
five men we're engaged in the work. the
head OF the counterfcitcrs being a Phil
adelphian now completing his second
term for this offense.
The others were professional crimi-
mails. who secured through the plumb
ing department OF the prison the nee
cssary metal made OF solder, tin and
ground glass The molds, it is bclicv-
ed, we're made OF plaster OF paris scrap
ed from the walls OF cells. Some OF the
coins got into circulation, but in what
manner has not yet been fully deter
mined.

Rough on the Convict.

According to an old document JUST
discovered in Australia, says the Cold.
en- Penny, gold was first found by a
convict near Parramatta in 1889. The
unfortunate fellow was at once
charged with having stolen q watch
and "boiled it down." and. being con-
victed by the rude court of those early
days, was given $50 lashes for his
pains. In later years the record of
this incident was closely examined by
an undoubtedly competent authority.
who was quite convinced of the genu-
ineness Of the convict's story.

BOOKS AND PAPERS SEIZED,
President of the Democratic Labor
Union Said to BE in sympathy
With Insurgents.

Manila, May 30.-Following the seiz-
ure and examination of the books of
the Democratic Labor union, the gov
eminent, Friday, arrested President
Dominadnor Gomez on charges of mis-
appropriating funds, brHandage,
fraudulent sales of stock and organ
izing an illegal association. Over a
hundred pesos were collected in dues
and contributions. The books show
a deficit of 1000 pesos. 1t is believed
to be possible that part of the amount
was stolen before Gomez was elected
president. The government charges
that part of the fund was used to
furnish arms and food to the insur-
gents of Rial province. This, with
Gomez correspondence with CUTLER
mo and other leaders in the field
forms the basis of the ~brigandage
charge. The union has a membership
of $4,000, is closely affiliated with the
nationalist party and is strongly in
sympathy with the insurgents. The
arrest of Gomez has excited the ma
tives. No disorders have occurred, but
the governments action will increase
the feeling of unrest in Manila, which
has been disturbed lately by reports
of the landing of arms. The situa-
ton, however, is not serious.

REDUCTION OF SALARIES.
Result of a Thorough Overhauling
Of the Rosters of the Coun-
try's Post Offices.
UNAUTHORIZED INCREASES CT: OFF.
Boston,, Brooklyn, st. Louis, wash
ington, Los Angeles, Louisville,
Chicago and Eight Smaller Offices
are Affected.

Washington, May 30.-As q result OF
the thorough overhauling of the ros-
ters of the post Offices throughout the
country, Postmaster-General Payne
has announced his approval of in
structions reducing the salaries of as
sistant postmasters at IA second-class
post offices to so per cent. of the sal
aries of the respective p~ostmasters.
Among them are Cairo, ILL.,; Clarinda,
Ia; East st. Louis, Ill.,, and Ponce
and San Juan, Porto Rico. He has
found SO officials in the postal service
who hold offices under designations
not authorized by law, and directed
that their positions be changed to
conform to the law governing them.
They were in New York, Boston,
Brooklyn, ST. Louis, Washington, Los
Angeles, Louisville, Chicago and eight
other offices.
Among these designations not au-
thorized by law are superintendent
of stations (although there is a SUI
perintendent for each separate sta
tom, auditor of stations" "inspec-
tor of stations" etc. Violations OF
the law which fix the maximum sal
airy of clerks in second-class post of
fees at $1,000 a year, except in the
case of assistant postmasters, will be
corrected at LeadviIle, Col, and three
other places.
The investigation disclosed eight
post Offices at which in all 13 clerks
receive more than the salaries to
which their designated positions as
assistant superintendent entitle
them, and in these cases the postmas-
ter-general has directed the salaries
be accordingly reduced. This order
affects four positions in ST. Louis
The maximum salary of these by law
is a stated percentage of the salary
of the postmaster. The postmaster
general has directed that such OF
these changes as involve corrections
of the violation of law shall take eff
feet next Monday, and changes made
to conform to the rules and practice
of the department will be operative
July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal
year. Most of these excessive allow
ances were made during the admins
tration of George w. Beavers, who
suddenly resigned as superintendent
of salaries and allowances immediate
ly after the investigation of affairs
of the post office department began.
Samuel A. Croft, who was arrested
Wednesday for completely in the
Machen bribery case, appeared. Fri
day, before United States Commits
sioner Taylor and renewed his bond
of $1,000 for his appearance June 9,
when he and mis- brother will be given
a hearing.
