TWO PASSERS ARRESTED

They're showing the queer in on rs
for fair" said downtown resident this
morning, after hearing of the local arrest
of two agents of counterfeit concern
last night. They've got down to the
dime racket now. There are some people
who don't care, at least, they don't seem
to care when they are buncoed out Of a
double eagle gold coin with counterfeit
change. But us poor fellows as hands
up dollar don't want several lead or
brass dimes covered with lead or tin
foil handed back as change"
Throughout the city spurious dimes are
in circulation. The poor and the ignor-
ant naturally suffer more than the wise
The local police arrested yesterday af-
ternoon a couple of scamps who were
palming off lead dimes on proprietors of
little stores. These counterfeit dimes
have flooded Manhattan, Brooklyn, the
Branx and Jersey City and Hoboken.
It's small game, but the stakes are
large, for so many poor people suffer.
The ssget rich' concerns are not in it
with these petty dime counterfeiters.
They play for the wise suckers. The
lead dime counterfeiters play for the
child in receiving change at the little
grocery stores.
The arrests of the two men were al
most simultaneous.~ Complaints had been
received at various stations from the
proprietors or the proprietresses of small
stores about spurious coins being passed
off on them. The description of a couple
of gents who were suspected of being
among the culprits was furnished each
policeman from the desk of their re-
spective station houses.
Patrolman Nicholas Collins responded
to a scream of Mrs. Mary Nicalous, pro-
prietress of a little candy store at No.
33S Third street. She told him a Hebrew
gave her bad dime for cents worth
of chewing gum. The policeman fol-
lowed the man and arrested him. He
gave his name as Herman Jacobs, of No.
so Allen street, New York. In his pos
session was found forty-three counterfeit
dimes and $456o in good money.
Just across the line dividing the first
from the second precincts and within a
few minutes of Jacobs arrest, Patrol
man Barry arrested Oscar Gluckman,
who said he lived at No. 80 East Eley-
enth street, New York. He had in his
possession a number Of spurious dimes
and a sum of good money.
Chief of Police Murphy telephoned the
Government secret service men that it
would be well to investigate No. so Allen
street, New York The result was the
capture of brass screw press used in
coming the counterfeit dimes.
The two men arrested in this city yes
tcrday were held for the Federal Govern
ment authorities.

gardin gthe retirement fund

mittee on Legislation, and the Exc
cutive Committee of the Retirement

"Your joint committee appointed in
accordance with resolutions adopted by
the New Jersey State Teachers Associa-
tion. December 81, 1902, to present to the
State Legislature request for the pas
sage of laws whereby the money contrib
uted by the teachers for the Teachers
Retirement Fund shall be applicable only
to the payment of annuities-reports
that. in presenting the case to the Legis-
lature and to the Governor on Wednes-
day, March 18th, statements were made
in opposition to our plea which are err
roneous, and calculated to injure the
fund.- for this reason, we submit here
with statement (prepared by the Sec
rteary of the Board of Trustees of the
Teachers Retirement Fund of the condi-
ton of the fund on March i, 1908, to-
gether with a statement fer the fiscal
year 1901-1902, and an estimate for the
year which ends June Both, 1908, which
shows
Il. That the income of the Teachers
Retirement Fund for the last fiscal year
was $S,25ZSS more than expenses.
''2. That the estimated surplus for the
current year is S7,S56.06.
%. That the fund has paid above fifty
600 in annuities and expenses, and
4. That on March 1st the surplus
above all liabilities was ST, ,76o.s0
Your committee submits that an en-
terprise, starting six years ago without
a cent, that is able make such showing
appears 0 be in an especially fourishing
condition.
Your committe reports further that
Assembly bills No. 277 and No. 27S were
introduced on March 4th by Mr.. Treacy
without the knowledge of your commit
tee, and that Mr.. Treaey withdrew No.
PIT when he found it did not cover the
object for which your committee was ap-
pointed. Subsequently, March 18th, he
introduced No. 312 as a substitute for
No. 277, and these bills-No. 27S and
No. 312-will accomplish the objects
sought. No. 312 appropriates from the
public funds $500 annually, or such
patr thereofas may be necessary, to pay
the current administrative expenses of
the Teachers Retirement Fund; and No.
27S apprcpriates $40, 80 to reimburse
to the fund the amount, with interest,
taken from it for administrative expenses
