SILVER COINS GALORE.
Crooks Held at Baltimore Working
Mexican Half Dollar Fake.

BALTIMORE. Dec. 26.-Two suit
cases filled to their limit with nearly
1000 bright silver Mexican half dol
lars. which are now in the private of
flee of Captain Humphrey. chief of de-
tectives, proved an interesting feature
of Il case upon which the police have
been working during the past week
and which has resulted in the commit
ment to court of Frank T. Gibson,
whose residence is not known, II
James Williams of Columbus, o., upon
the charge of obtaining money under
false %pretenses.
The Mexican coin is worth only "a
cents in United States money, and the
men. it is alleged, would buy five cents
worth of something in a store and put
down some of the Mexican coins, re-
ceiving A. cents in change. One side of
the Mexican coin resembles the United
States coin. but the other is very diff
ferent. Numerous merchants in this
city have complained of having been
victimiZed, and the police department
suspects that the two men under ar
rest have beer operating in other cities.

gave a family dinner at the White
House, Representative Nicholas Long

IN NEWARK HOSPITAL

one of the most familiar characters
appearing in local police court rec
ords because of her drinking habits,
passed AWAY in the city hospital at

N. Y. He was there until a short
time ago.

about fifteen years ago, and soon af-
terward was arrested on a charge of

dicted as a habitual drunkard, was
tried and convicted. She made a
strong plea before the court, asking
that she be not sent to prison and or
her promise to sign the pledge Judge
Strong suspended sentence. She went
to work for a family in Highland
Park. Since then she had gone to
Newark and it is known she resumed
drinking rs only a shert time ago

there to the hospital She was about
so years old.

only a few doors away and did not
return to their home until about 10
o'clock. They were surprised to find
everything in disorder. The base
ment had been ransacked and every
small article of value taken. Up

bureau drawers about the floor and
taking all the i2welry and small sill
yer articles they could get. They
also obtained a good sum in cash.
