learning that his wife was attending
performance at the japanese theater
on Wednesday evening, went there and
found her in the company of another
man.
Sometime during Thursday evening
Kato went to visit his wife on Wyllie
street. What passed between them is
not yet known as the woman is not in
condition to make a complete state
ment About midnight, however, the
pair evidently had a quarrel, with the
results as above. The sad plight of
the woman was not discovered until
yesterday morning when somebody
heard screams. Yoshi was lying on the
floor, blood still flowing from her
wounds She was almost unconscious
from the assault and from loss of blood.
The police were telephoned for and the
woman was taken to the Queens Hos
pitaI in the patrol wagon.
A little later the wagon used by
the U. S. army hospital, which is loeat-
ed on the same street was passing the
Hoffman, place. The driver, in glanc-
ing into the yard. was Mortified to see
the body of a man dangling from the
end of a rope attached to a mango
tree. He gave the alarm and the po-
lice were once more called to the scene.
Kato was the suicide, and he had been
very deliberate in his operations. He
had climbed out on a limb fastened the
end of a very small sized rope securely
to a branch. The other end he tied
about his neck, and then dropped to
his death. His feet We're about twelve
feet from the ground. The rope had
cut deeply into his neck, and death
must have come almost instantly. The
body was cut down and conveyed to
the morgue. A coroner's jury was sum-
moned and visited the scene of the
tragedy. The inquest will be held this
evening at the police station.

Recent Report Shows That Very
Small Proportion Of Our
Money Is Bad.

The annual report Of the operations OF
the secret service division for the f1sfical
year ending June so was made to Secre-
AIRY of the Treasury Shaw by Chief
Wilkie Among other things, says a
Washington report, reference is made TO
IN effort on the part of the division to
secure an estimate of the amount OF
counterfeit money in circulation in the
United States
Thousands of letters of inquiry were
sent to banks in every city of Importance
IN the country. More than 1000 of the
national banks reported that they had
not seen any counterfeit money during
the period covered by the inquiry, Janu-
airy l to December 81. 1903. Fifteen hun
dred banks reported decrease in the
amount they had received, as compared
with previous years, and 100 reported
an increase.
In order to be certain that the esti-
mates should be over rather than I'M
der the actual facts, the figures were
doubled. both as to coin and notes. Even
with this liberal allowance the figures
indicated about three dollars in coun-
terfeit coin for each 800 900 of gold and
silver in circulation, and a little less
than one dollar in counterfeit notes for
each 100000 Of paper circulation.
There are % new counterfeits de-
scribed in the official circulars issued by
the division during the year but only
few Of these notes fell in what is
termed the deceptive Or dangerous class
The makers and passers of IS Of the 25
counterfeit issues were arrested. and in
nearly every case the plant was cap
tured and destroyed.
The total arrests for the year were 419
and Of the prisoners 3O6 were born in the
United States. The largest foreign con-
tributor was Italy. In the number of ar
rests New York led with 81
