CHIEF WILKIE EXPLAINS WHY
COUNTERFEITING is NOT ACCURATE

why il il that counterfeiters have
never been able TO turn out Il perfect
reproduction of paper money issued
by the government" was asked John
+. Nilkie, chief of the secret service
division of the treasury department,
the other day.
The answer is simple enough re-
piled the man who has the reputation
| of being one of the shrewdest crimi-
'nal catchers in the world. IF the
man who engraved the original bills
which counterfeiters try to initiate
tried To reproduce his own work he
would make a miserable failure of it.
Write your name 50 times on a piece
of paper and trace one over the other
and YOU viii find that no two agree
exactly. That i the difficulty expert
enced by counterfeiters which makes
their work easy TO detect. Machines
cannot he made which can do the
work of photography by hand. They
lack that quaver and gentle touch
which the hand gives in making a
curve, nor can n hand reproduce eX-
actIy curve once made"
This, then, is the simple solution.
which aids the government experts
and oftentimes the bank officials To
detect a counterfeit bill almost the
minute they see one. There are. how
ever. various arts of the counterfeiter
with which the experts have TO con-
tend and the secret service bureau and
its assistants are kept busy through
the year passing up queer" money
which Is sent for inspection. All
money thus sent in is kept for a year.
at least. and then destroyed. Ere
quently the track of counterfeiter is
determined by the appearance of a
certain peculiar bill in different parts
of the country and oftentimes large

packet of one kind of bill will accumu-
late before the criminal is run TO
earth. There are not only the litho-
graphers. but even crude printing -
tried and oftentimes, as in one Of the
latest cases. expert photography is
employed in making counterfeit bills.
The photographs, however. do not re-
main long in circulation without de-
lection, because they fade rapidly. In
the latest case it is estimated that
within one month of exposure to- the
air the bills would fade until they
became mere pieces of white paper.
I'VE get many grades of counterfeit
work here" said Chief Wilkie. ''Some
of it Is done by expert photographers.
and i every bit as good as the origin
al. save only that il i not like the
original for the reason stated above.
The methods of counterfeiters are
multitudinouS, but il is u traffic that
cannot be carried on long. That is
why counterfeiter moves from
place to place"
Chief Wilkic is one of the most
modest men in public life. He takes
as much pleasure in his work as pos
sible for any man. possesses the true
Undertaking instinct. which rarely
leads him astray. and when his eff
forts are crowned by success he dis
plays the citation OF boy. Not many
years ago John WiIkie was city edi-
tor If a big Chicago daily newspaper.
His previous experience in detective
work was limited TO the usual activi-
ties of a night police reporter. He
has. however. ali the abilities of a born
leader and the ingenuity of Sherlock
Holmes in real, practical life.
