The second and last week of polo comes
to an end Monday. after a moderately sue
cessful series of games. 1t was thought
that the new Casino might attract and
hold larger polo audiences, but the receipts

up to the average of several seasons past.
The excitement a Saratoga cut short the
stay of many people here, but there are
several other causes that contributed TO the
shrinkage, the most important of which is
the barrier that is steadily rising between

has operated to keep hotel folk from buy

some of the inn dwellers have cut out the

to the suggestion that base ball would pay

Denver Believed to Be the
Headquarters of Men Who
Turn Out Spurious Paper

DENVER, March 28.-A counterfeit
ing scheme, gigantic in its proportions,
which has as it's field the whole Of the
United States, has just been unearthed
by the Federal authorities. number
of Government secret service agents
are now in Denver following 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 so
far 1t is believed that something like
$50, 900 has been secured in the larger
cities Of the country.
The counterfeit is one Of the best du-
plicates Of the Buffalo series of $40 and
$40 bills which has ever come to the at
tention of the Federal authorities. A
description Of the counterfeits as fur
nished by the United States Secret Ser
vice Department follows: Series 1901,
No. 29513972; face plate, 159; back plate,
81; check letter, D; signed Lyons, reg
ister; Roberts, treasurer; portraits Of
Lewis and Clark.
The counterfeits are q shade darker
than the genuine. Secret Service Agent
T.. H. Wilson Is here working on the
case. Speaking of the counterfeiters'
method of operation he said
Their work is SO smooth that it is
almost impossible to detect them at 1t.
Several agents are sent out and pur-
chases for small amounts are made in
the stores of the town they are in. A
$40 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 then in a
great many cases 1t has been allowed
to go through, so perfect is the imita-
tion.
There is not only one gang, but sew
eral Of them scattered around over the
country. How many there are in the
deal we cannot tell yet"

BEGIN CRUSADE
At UNIVERSITY

BERKELEY, March 2S.-Thievery is
declared by college men to be so COM
mon at the University of California
that a crusade has been begun by the
newly formed students affairs commit
tee, with the object of detecting Of
tenders. securing their expulsion and
thus raising the moral tone Of the col
lege. The first step was taken last
night, when the students committee
recommended the expulsion OF j. A.
Harris. a self-confessed thief, and to-
day the campaign was given further
impetus by Editor ]. p. Loeb of the
Daily Californian, the representative
publication of the student body.
Loeb calls on all students to assist
in the work of purging the university
of thieves and others whose moral
character units them for association
with reputable college men and women.
His editorial is as follows:
For the first time the Undergraduate commit
tee on student affairs has had to judge the ac
tions of fellow student and recommend his
expulsion from the university. This first case

he was guilty as charged. and there was only
one thing for the committee to do. Now.
however they have undertaken a more difficult
task in announcing their intention to start an
aggressive campaign against all stealing In the
university. 1t will not be easy to detect the
offenders, If indeed there any left. The
committee can hope for success only IL backed
up by the student body. It has asked all vic
tins of thefts to report their losses immedi-
ately Some people will probably not do so.
either fearing to be called as witnesses, or else
not being sufficiently interested in cleaning
out the university to take that little trouble
If much of that spirit is shown the entire bur
den will rest the members OF the commit
tee and they Will probably fall The theory
of student control is that the entire student
body is interested in preserving its own purity
we must realize this fact and then cooperate
Loeb is a member of the students af-
fairs committee, which has been dele
gated by the students to act in cases
where disciplinary measures may seem
to be required. His name appears as
one who signed the report recommend
ing the expulsion of Harris. He printed
an editorial a few days ago which at
tracted attention because of it's plain
spoken words, the heading of the ar
ticle being I'VE Don't Want Thieves .

ROMANCE IN DENVER
Mrs. Stratton on Becoming
Wife of Blonde" Cooksie
Gives Him a Fortune
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

DENVER, March 2S.-Has Mrs. Mary
E. Stratton, beautiful. wealthy, re-
fined, fallen victim to the hynotic arts
of Blonde" NJ Cooksie, the prize
fighter? Mrs. Stratton last evening
took the ring gladiator for her second
husband. Immediately after the cere-
mony she presented her pugilistic
spouse with bill of sale for the finest
restaurant In Seattle. Then she poured
money into the pockets of Blonde"
and sent him forth to give largess to
the gamins. Finally she secured a COM
partment in sleeper. two tickets to
Seattle and departed with her new
lord.
Five years ago Blonde" Cooksie
was an itinerant hypnotist. He trav-
eled all over the West and gave exhi-
bitions of throwing himself into sup
posed cataleptic trance. In a confes-
sion written for local magazine he
admits that he was one of the most
arrant takers that ever took the dol
! lars Of the trusting.
Mrs. Stratton is a linguist and an
accomplished musician. She has lived
ture. Her aims are high and her ideals
of the best. Blonde" has been sue
| cessful barber, hypnotic subject, light
weight fighter and waiter. His has
been the hand to mouth existence of
sporting men. His language smacks
of the curb. How, then, ask those who
know Mrs. Stratton, could she have
been attracted to Blonde? They an
swer their own question thus: "She
must have been hypnotized."
Mrs. Stratton's first husband was a
young society blood of the Pacific
Coast, who died in Seattle about two
years ago from the effects of an auto
! mobile accident near Los Angeles. He
was the son of wealthy people, who
established him in business as an archi-
tect in San Francisco.

from which the following aticles were
distracted:

Yet the capacious receptacle was
not more than half filed by the plum
der described, and as she had visited
only few of the departments when
her arrest was effected, the special po-
hcemsn opined that he nipped her pill

her TO follow his lead, she was headed
for the household furniture section OF
the great general store and he face
