The Albuquerque Journal says:
The young men who are putting
forth an effort to organize an Albu-
querque branch of the Young Mems
Christian association on a substantial
basis this winter. are working hard
this week. So far their labors have
met with very cheering encouragement
On the part OF the citizens whom they
have interviewed on the subject and
the plan will be well supported by the
city in general. The canvass will
be systematic and thorough and
il the association is to be started at
all it is to be started or a broad and
firm foundation.
The second meeting of the commit
tee was held last night at Sollie and
Boards office and plans for canvass
ing were perfected. This morning the
members of the committee will start
out with printed application blanks
and every section of the city will be
thoroughly gone over, The commit
tee as enlarged consists of Rabbi
Kaplan, Prof. A. b. Stroup, Pitt Ross,
II. r. Sollie, J. w. Anderson, +. H..
Strong, A. J.. Mitchell, d. T, Duckwall,
Jr. G.. M. Webster, F. w. Spencer,
u. Il. Wilson, w. d. Francis. The
committee will meet again to report
next Thursday evening.
In a week or two the committee ap-
pointed will be able to state positively
whether the Y. NJ. c. A. Is a sure
thing, and how much money is avafla-
BILE to see the project through.
II Albuquerque expects to keep up
with the procession she win have to
hurry. for Las Vegas Is setting a gait
lust now that is hard TO keep pace
with. The Y. Al. G. A. movement was
started In Las Vegas sometime ago
and is now almost TO the point OF
elimination, according TO james G..
BAltbI vi HHt iiS Nt6h6
Optic and one OF the enthusiastic
promoters of the movement in the
Meadow City.
Las Vegas has raised about $4,000
for a building for the Y. NJ, G. A."
said Mr.. McNary to a reporter for the
Morning Journal. more money Is
needed TO complete the building. but
We feel that we have enough TO justl-
fy us IN beginning work and We will
probably have construction under way
in a few weeks. The building will be
very pretty and will serve as just the
kind of meeting place for young men
needed In Las Vegas.
I'VE have been much interested in
the movement in Albuquerque and
hope to see it prosper as has our
own"

Counterfeiters
Increasing
Secret Service Agent Says
There Seems TO be an Epi-
demic Of Bogus Coin>M Making
in Last Six Months.

Daring the last six months, there
have been mor cases OF counterfeit.
Ing reported TO the United States de-.
partment OF secret service than for
the period of two years previously.
This applies 10 every state in the
union. In Colorado, the increase in
this class OF crime has been appalling
and the most rigorous methods are
now under way to check the manu-.
facture of homemade" money.
There seems to be. what one might,
for the want of a better word. call an
epidemic of counterfeiting of late
said a secret service agent Thursday
to a reporter for the Denver Republi-
al All classes of criminals seem to
be trying their hand at the manufac.
ture of legal tender and some have
been successful from an artistic stand.
point. although financially this crime
is usually disappointing. II is hard TO
understand just why criminals enter
this branch Of lawlessncss. do not
believe that there Is a criminal occll.
patton that nays as little in The long
run as does counterfeiting. The coun
terfeiter has to evade the most de-
termined, the largest and the most
complete department, of detection in
the world and their criminal careers
are usually short. The porch climber,
burglar and petty thief can make
more and keep his liberty longer
than The counterfeiter and it seems
a wonder that criminals do not use
their brains and cunning along these
lines"
What reason do You assign to this
increase in counterfeiling?' the
agent was asked.
There can be no reason assigned
to it, was the reply" unless it is the
excitement the criminal derives and
The satisfaction in the fact that he is
clever enough to initiate difficult dies
and e%ngravings."
Not one per cent of those who
make counterfeits escape punishment.
yet during the last six months, the
number of these criminals to com.
mence operations has been enormous.
They have manufactured every coin
and paper certificate from the scent
nickel to bank treasury notes of the
highest denominations"
