SLOT MACHINE ''WORKERS"

nished by F. H. Baldie, the slot ma
chine monopolist, secret service men
today arrested Ed Stickney. Charles
Harmon, M. P. Anderson and A. F.

ey, which, it is alleged, was to be used
in playing the slot machines of the

The four men were caught in the
home of Charles Harmon, 1909 South
G street. and it is said they were in
the very act of minting the bad
money.
Secret Service Agent Bell, of Sc
attic, who arrived in the city this
morning to ferret out the criminals,
was assisted in making the arrests by
Deputy United States Marshals Cros-
by and Davisson and Detectives Fitz-
gerald, Ellison and Sullivan of the
police force.
All the morning the officials shad-
owed the place, and when they we're
sure that the men were inside they
closed in and arrested them.
The paraphernalia used in making
the money was lying about on the
floor. The method used was simple
and showed that they were inexperi-
enced in the business.
In the outfit seized by the officers
in their raid were several boxes con-
tanning plaster of paris. The men
would make an imprint Of a nickel
or a quarter in this and then fill the
molds with molten metal. In some
of the boxes the coins were still hot
when the officers arrived.

rested, was the victim of a slugging
