TIE NEW YORK ARRESTS
Are Believed to Be Part of the Same
Big Gang.

New York, Dec. 6.-Thc seven men ar
rested here. Benjamin Farber, Jacob Far
Der, Harry Stein, Nathan Stein. Morris
HOLDEN, Morris Isenberg and Benjamin
Morganstern. were arraigned before Gem
missioner Shields in the federal building,
Saturday, and held in heavy bail till
Thursday. charged with making, torS-
ing and concentrating a lo-dolar silver
certificate of the United States. lsenberg
was released on $1,000 bail, while $JCG0 bail
was ordered for the others. The six men
not securing bail were locked up in the
Ludlow street Jail.
William J. Flynn. head of the New
York district of federal secret service
men, said that the capture of the 10 men
raid made in Lancaster Pa. in 1899, when
the secret service. after q hunt OF IA
months. bagged Il gang of counterfeiters
now serving long terms.
enc of the men arrested here, he said,
had a sample OF "onion skin" paper, and
as late as Friday afternoon was trying
to buy lot of such paper to ship to Re
we're. He said each completed counterfeit
bill was made by pasting two ''onion
skin pieces of paper together after in
sorting the silk fibre between the two
layers of paper 1t was the evident in
tention of the Revere gang, he said, to
make Q lot of counterfeits and then de-
stroy the plates.
According to Capt Flynn, Davis. the
engraver caught at Revere, was brought
from Belgium by the local band for the
feit money. otto A. Rosalsky appeared
as attorney for the prisoners here. Mon.
day morning. he will make an application
for a reduction of the bail.
For fully eight years Chief Flynn and
his men have been hoping to catch John
Davis. whom they regard as one of the
greatest counterfeiters in the world. but
they. little suspected that he would be
finally trapped as the leader of "a New
York band. When a band of COUNT rfeit-
ers was arrested in 1885 charged with
making and passing $40 silver certifica ties,

A MYSTERIOUS BLAZE
Does $4,000 Damage on Middlesex
Street at Lowell, Mass.

Lowell, Mass, Dec. GA fire, the or :
igin of which is a mystery, occurred,
this evening, in the brick building
owned by Davis & Sargent at CSC Mid
dlesex street, doing damage to the
amount of $50,O0O covered by insurance.
An investigation will undoubtedly be
entered upon, for it was openly talked
that the fire was the work of an incen-
diary. The case is all the more tangled
up because of a bad blaze which took
place in an entirely different part of
the works in the morning. The fire was
principally confined to the third floor
of the building occupied by Marshall q
Crosby, cabinet manufacturers. This
firms loss will be 100000.
Davis & Sargent, box manufacturers,
who owned the building, state that their
loss will be principally by water. They
had the lower floor and a large dry and
seasoning house at the rear.

THE PRICE OF COTTON
Practically Unchanged, Saturday, from
Friday Nights Closing.

New York, Dec. 6.-Persistent talk of
curtailment the world over in the cot
ton industry made holders of specula-
tive lines of cotton timid, Saturday.
The result was that there was a dis
position to sell and secure profits. The
offerings were readily absorbed, how
ever, and the prices of the staple for
the various months of the year re-
manned practically unchanged.
The kilograms from interior towns
of the South say that dealers have to
pay II cents a pound for cotton to full
fill contracts. On the other hand, the
spinners in both the North and South
are considering the question of shut
ting down the mills. Conflicting influ-
ences We're ut work in the cotton mar
ket, therefore, and the movement of
prices was highly irregular. At the
close the prices of the leading futures
were almost identical of those of Fri
day night.

no boat could live in the sea which was
running where the doomed craft lay, and
nobody could reach them from the hill

of cotton and the increase in the price
OF cotton will have no immediate
effect upon the Lowell mills.
Eventually there may be curtail-
ment. but for the present there is alb
solutely no occasion for worry. Mills
in other New England cities will prob
ably be forced to lessen their output in
order to force better market for fin
ished goods. 1t is admitted that there
is no profit in manufacturing with cot
ton bought at the present prices, and
with no increase in the figures for the
finished product.
The Lowell mills have been more fav-
orably situated than the mills of other
cities for the reason they have been US

THE CURTAILMENT.
Fall River Asked to Join Southern

Fall River, Dec. 6.-Cotton manufaC
turers here have received circulars
from manufacturers in North Carolina,
inviting them to attend meeting to be
held in Charlotte. N. c., next Tuesday.
for the purpose of considering some
plan for a united curtailment to meet
the cotton crop conditins. What eff
feet, if any, this movement will have
here cannot be told.
Two of the local mill owners have
gone to North Caroline in an unofficiai
capacity, but if they report that any
strength exists in the movement in the
South, it is quite possible that an effort
viii be made to bring about a further
curtailment here.
