GREEN GOODS MEN ARE
VERY HARD TO CONVICT
Inspector vieksry, Formerly Of Gin
cinnsti, Ohio, Tells About the
Methode Of Crooks.

Commercial Tribune. "The only
way 10 convict green goods man is
TO catch him IN the act Of dealing with
HIS victim, and this is not an easy
natter IL statement made by Chief
PostoffIce Inspector vickery
He says It is an error to suppose
that the "green goods men are run
10 earth by the secret service officers
Of the treasury department. This
class Of work IL done by the postoffice
inspectors.
Mr.. vickery asserts that no green
goods man ever has a dollar of coun-
terfeit money in his possession; that
he uses genuine money. and turns the
exact amount promised over to his vic
tim. That the latter never succeeds
In getting away with the good money
is proved by the complaints received
and investigated by the inspector.
In the event they are caught in the
act OF dealing with their victim the
penalty is light, and the swindIers can
afford to put up the amount OF bail
and then forfeit 1t. The only charge
that can be brought against them Is
fraudulent use Of the mails, and this
offense is punishable by imprisonment
for a term not exceeding is months
In speaking OF the green goods op-
orators, Mr.. vlckery says:
1T Is generally supposed that the
secret service officers Of the treasury
department handle this kind OF COM
plants. but such IL not the case. There
is no violation OF the treasury laws,
but there Is a violation OF the postal
laws, inasmuch as the operators use
the mails for fraudulent purposes.

CHINESE AID THE JAps.

Portland Telegram: Local Chinese
are indirectly aiding the Japanese gov
ernment in its war with Russia. Near
ly $500 has been subscribed BY Port
land Cinnamon To- the Ladies' Patriotic
Association Of Japan, which has for
Its object the protection OF the widows
and orphans Of Japanese soldiers killed
In the war against the czar. The head
Office Of this association is at Kudan-
zaka, Kojlmachi-ku. Toxic. Japan, and
the president is Princess Hisako IVA
kura.
The movement was agitated here
but recently and number Of Port
lands leading Chinese merchants Inn
mediateIy subscribed sums ranging
from so to s25 for the new aasocia-
tion. Princess Kan-in. OF the imperial
family OF Japan, is honorary patroness
and superintendent and all relief work
ana distribution Of funds are done un-
der her direction, she having more
power in the association than the pres
ident herself. In the regulations Of the
association the objects Of It are stated
and the members divided into three
classes--honorary members, composed
of members OF the imperial house; spec
cial members, who pay yen a year
for ten years. or who make a single
payment OF Is yen or more. and ordin-
airy members, who pay yen a year
for ten years, or who make a single
payment or yen or more. A yen
is equal to 90 cents in United States
coin.
The new association. of which many
Portland Chinese, as well as Japanese,
have become members, Is In no way
connected with the Red Cross Society
OF Japan, although both societies will
work In harmony. The government Of
Japan is at present unable TO perform
the work the new society was organ
lied for, on account Of the tremendous
fight 1t is waging against Russia. Con-
sequently the Ladies' Patriotic Assoc
