Is the Question that Is Now Before the

Board of Foreign Missions.
Boston, March 28.-The question OF
accepting or rejecting John D. Rock
efeller's gift of 100000 to the Ameri
can board of commissioners for for.
eign missions, was the principal bust.
ness scheduled to come before the
meeting of the president, and the com.
mittee of the organization today.
The widespread discussion which fol
lowed the formal action taken by con.
gregational clergymen in various parts
of New England last week in protest
ing against the acceptance of the gift
because of objections to the alleged
business methods of the Standard Oh
company created interest in todays
meeting.
DR.. James L. Barton, foreign secre.
tary of the American board, said today
that already SAL, 800 of the gift was in
the treasury, and the question to be
decided at today's meeting was, there
fore, that this amount should be re
turned or that it should be retained
and the balance accepted.

GIGANTIC SCHEME
OF COUNTERFEITINC
Secret Service Men Locate Big
Gang In Denver.
BEST INVITATIONS EVER FOUND

They Made $40 and 500 Bills of the Buff.
aIo Series-Their Field of Operation
Has Been the Entire United States.
Description of the Counterfeit.
Denver, March 28.-The News today
says that a counterfeiting scheme, gi-
gantic in it's proportions and rich in
results which has its field the whole of
the United States, has just been un-
earthed by the federal authorities.
A number of government secret ser
vice agents are now in Denver follow
ing clews which are said to have led
them to believe that the headquarters
of the gang are located in this city.
The operations of the counterfeiters
are said to extend all the way from
New York to San Francisco and it is
believed something like $4,000 has
been secured in the larger cities of the
country. The counterfeit is one of the
best duplicates of the Buffalo series
of $40 and $40 bills which has ever
come to the attention of the federal
authorities. A description of the coun-
terfeits as furnished by the United
States secret service follows
Series, 1901, No. 29,513,972; face
plate 159, back plate 81, check letter
D, signed Lyons, register; Roberts,
treasurer; portraits of Lewis and
Clark.
The counterfeits are a shade darker
than the genuine.
Secret Service Agent F. H. Wilson
is here working on the case.
Speaking of the counterfeiters' meth
Cd of operation, he said:
Their work is so smooth that it is
almost impossible to detect them at
it. Several agents are sent out and
purchases for small amounts are made
in the stores of the town they are in.
A $40 bill or $40 bill is presented in
payment, and they receive their cash
in change. The counterfeit is not
discovered until it goes to the bank,
and even them in a great many cases
it has been allowed to go through so
perfect is the imitation.
There is not only one gang, but
several Of them scattered around over
the country. How many there are in
the one deal we cannot tell yet"
