ENeLANo's PRIVATE "MiNTs."
"coiners" Thrive In Spite of the Ma.
ture OF Their Calling.

1t is estimated by the police that at
the present time there Is more spuri-
GUS money In circulation, exclusive OF
forged bank notes, than at any period
during recent years, says the London
Mail. The ranks of the 'smashers"
are being augmented yearly. and as
fast as the police smoke out" one
coiners' den, they become aware that
another hos sprung into existence, the
rate of increase being greater than at
any time during the present genera
tion.
An experienced detective estimates
that there are in this country no fewer
than 1000 persons engaged directly or
Indirectly In coming. counterfeiting or
uttering bad money. The number OF
private ''mints.p he considers, is proba-
bly, not iar short of 100 fes
Why the profession should prove SO
attractive he, is at a loss to understand,
as the profits are. after all, very small.
The expenses Incidental to obtaining
the. molds, tools, machinery. etc, for
this Illicit traffic are great, and 1t is
calculated that the net cost of turning
out a spurious half-crown Is as much
as Is, Cd, as the necessary implements
have frequently to be destroyed for
fear of detection.
Then the money is passed on to the
persons who In turn circulate it. and
who either buy the bad money at
cheap rate or exact payment for the
service they render and the risk OF
prosecution that they run. They In
their turn have to waste portion of
the money by buying articles that are
often unnecessary-us drinks--so
that the margin of profit is still furth-
er reduced all round.

ARCH CRIMINAL .
OF THE AGE MAY BE OR. OLIVER
sons-Now Accused Of Muir
dering Father, Mother
and Brother.
CROOK HAUGH OF DAYTON
With New Drug He Is Believed to
Have Killed a Halt Dozen Per-

Dayton, O., Nov. tO.-The crimes of
DR.. Oliver Crook Haugh, OF this city.
may rival those of the notorious Jo-
ham Hoch, and reveal him as the
arch criminal of the age.
Il may have killed them when my
mind was blank" he said tonight,
when asked whether it were true that
he married women in Chicago, Mil
waukee, Toledo, Lorain, Ohio, and
other places and killed them with
new drug, called hyocine-hydro
bromate.
Haugh was arraigned today on the
charge of numbering his father, moth
er and brother last Sunday m:rning
and then crcmating their bodies by
firing the house, His attorney plead
ed not guilty for him.
That the doctor is one of the arch
criminals of the age and has commit
ted numerous murders is evidenced~by
the reports coming to the coroner,
which while lacking form and sub
stance of irrefutable testimony, yet
are sufficiently convincing to DR.. Wal
ton Kline, coroner, as to confirm the
belief that DR.. Haugh is without a
modern rival, a poisoner and muir
derer In his peculiar line. His fav-
orite poison In sending his victims
to their graves Is hyoclne-hydro brom-
ate, new drug. One of his murder
ed victims was Mrs. Mary Twohey, OF
Lorain, Ohio, who died IN April. 1904.
DR.. Haugh lived in Lorain at that
time and practiced medicine. He be-
came infatuated with and spent most
of his time in the company of Mrs.
Twohey. The doctor fed the woman CO.
caine and other drugs and in the opinion
of the woman's brother, DR.. Herman,
a prominent physician, of Lima. fin
ally administered hyocine that caused
her death The purpose of the crime
was to obtain the woman's money
and jeweiry, The lorain woman is
believed to be only one in the list
of victims. In the ten years that tho
doctor had been separated from his
wife it is believed that he has been
twice married and consorted with
half dozen women in the guise. in
in each case as husband and wife. One
of these lived in Toledo and another
in Chicago. He told Coroner Kline
that he lived with a woman in Mil
waukee as his wife, but did not know
whether or not they were married.
He explained this by the statement:
You know whatra dope fiendi is
doc?" q
Coroner Kline said tonight that he
fully expected to have enough EVIL
dence to convict the man and that he
did not want the slayer of innocent
men and women to escape the chair
and finu refuge in an asylum.
Il know that the doctors record
Of twice being an inmate of an asy-
lum may save his neck" said the
coroner, 81 want. however to make

nounced today that Il. d. Reilly, who
was elected as the minority party

rectly any money or other valuable
thing to procure his nomination or
