BAD FOR COUNTERFEITERS
Secret Service is Hard Pushing
this Dangerous Class of
Criminals.
Detectives Kept on Alert to Cope With
Clever and Brainy Schemes for
Passing Illegal Money-The King
of Counterfeiters.

This has been a bad year for crimi-
mails. This statement is based on data
brought out at the convention of the
Police Chiefs Association of New York
State. an address delivered by the
president of the International Associa-
tion of Police Chiefs and by
the operations of the var ious police
bureaus of the United States govern
ment The secret service division Of
the Treasury alone caused the arrest of
532 persons charged with serious
crimes. OF those taken into custody
forty-one were arrested for counter
feiting the currency, fifty-two for max
ing alterations in the currency. 344 for
counterfeiting coin and the remainder
for various violations of the United
States statutes. OF the 532 alleged Of
tenders, 1872 were native Americans,
forty-two were Italians (some of whom
were naturalized) and thirteen were
Austrians. The largest number of ar
rests were made in Pennsylvania where
those apprehended numbered ninety
four. New York followed with seventy
seven arrests, Ohio with thirty-flve,
California with twenty-nine, Missouri
with twenty-three and in the remaining
instances every state and territory with
the exception of Alaska was represent
ed
As compared with last year there
was a decrease in the amount of count
erfeit currency seized by government
officers and an increase in the amount
OF counterfeit coin confiscated. The
total face value OF the notes seized was
s36. .s34, against s44,350 the preceding
year. and of the spurious coin. $24,l1O
as against s1G,419 the year before. The
number of plates for printing counter
felt bills captured by the government
was 165 and the number of dies and
molds for casting and stamping count
erfeit coins was 454. Nearly all this
stuff was seized by the Government
before it had been placed in circula-
tion. Nine classes of counterfeit notes
were placed in circulation and of these,
in the opinion of the Treasury of
firers only four were cleverly enough
executed to be called dangerous.
RAISING SMALL BILLS.
The feature of the work of makers
OF false money this year was in raising
the denomination of bills. There was
rather a remarkable increase in this
Illicit industry and the raisers were
particularly busy in circulating these
altered obligations in Ohio. Indiana,

west. 1t Is believed by the officers of
the secret service that the leading of
tenders in this division of criminal
work were captured. though there is no
doubt that many altered bills are still
passing from hand TO hand in the chan
nels of trade. Counterfeiters in the
United States do not restrict their
operations to the manufacture of Amer
lean money. and one of the skillful
pieces of work done by the secret ser
vice men was the apprehension OF
three groups of counterfeiters who
were Issuing fraudulent obligations of

ENGLISH COUNTRY ROAD BRIpeE CROSSING TRICK

Il,
1t Is not due TO any peculiar advan-
tage Of soil, and certainly not to any
advantages of climate that English
roads are better than American roads,
for II one leaves the highway in the
English country, the lanes will be
found, by travelling American, to
have most homelike appearance IN
their rutted condition, and very
great contrast in the matter of holes,
boFs md houlders to the highway left
behind. No climate could be more
threatening TO the solidlty OF q road
way than the moist and changeable
weather Of the British Isles
STURDY APPEARANCE OF THE
BRIDGES.
In the matter OF bridges. solidity
seems to be the purpose in view. The
arches and retaining walls are built
Of stone. approaches are gradual, and
when once the finishing touch is put
upon one of these structures, II will
with little supervision and care out
last even to many generations the men
whose handiwork It Is. The solid ma
sonry arch, the heavy stone-capped
wall, and the gradual rise Of the road
way to the centre OF the bridge are
the builders, but they possess q GER
tain sturdy character of their own
which is a form of beauty welcomed
by the eye. Time softens the colors.
Ivy creeps over the stones and In a
short space, even II newly built, one
Of these English country road bridges
takes a permanent place In the land
scape giving the impression Of always
having been there and of intending
always to remain.
THEIR VALUE TO THE TEAMS
/ TER.
Aside from the beauty, strength and
durability Of these macadam roads
and stone bridges. they possess an
economic value which plays a large
part in the conduct of an English
farm where the margins OF profit are
email, and there Is no reason to be-
neye but that the American farmer.
especially in regions where the culti-
walton Of the land is more or less In.
tensive, we would find similar roads
and bridges of enormous value
through an appreciable increase IN
his ability to reach his market IN the
shortest time at the minimum ex.
pense and with the least motive power.

SHOW GIRL
WAS PLEASING

sHO L6UOttEU
There was great Tapping of
wings at the Grand opera house last
night upon the occasion of the first
annual benefit of the Clarksburg
Aerie of Eagles, No. AIS.
A performance of B. G. Whitney's
"Show Girl" was given under the
Auspices Of the Eagles and the pro-
ceeds derived will be given to the
sufferers from the recent earth
quake and fire in San Francisco.
The aerie had been arranging for
this benefit for several weeks past,
and as result a large audience of
Eagles, Mrs. Eagles and Eaglets, be-
sides numerous other birds were
present, to enjoy and applaud the
performance.
The "Show Girl" made her mi
tial bow some years ago under the
sponsorship Of Mr.. Edward Eferves-
cent Rice, and from that day to this
has had a more or less checkered
theatrical career, common to most
show girls. About all that is left
Of the "Show Girl" at present is the
title which everything considered is
iiquite enough. Give a dog or a
musical comedy bad name, and you
might as well hang it or send it to
the warehouse. But, as in this case,
give it good name and let the
comedians, both male and female, do
NE work. AS presented last even
ing the performance was an enjoy
able one in every respect; every
member Of the cast and chorus SEEM
ed to be in good humor and spirits,
and each and every one seemed to
be imbued with the intention of
making the first benefit of the
Eagles a complete success.
Miss Hilda Thomas and Mr..
Lone Hall, who are the features of
the show, sustained their reputation
as fun-makers, and Mr.. John Miley
who isn't featured, but ought to be,
was at least in the money even if he
was pulled in the stretch. (This
last sentence should be read while
setting on the rail at the new fair
ground.) Mr.. BIiley's illusions to
several prominent local Eagles were
received in the same good humored
spirit they were given and bursts Of
Laughter followed each jest.
1t was almost eleven o'clock when
the performance ended, but even
then the audience could they have
possessed Mr.. Miley's wishing cap"
would have "wished for more"
The complete list Of membership
of Clarksburg Aerie No. 445, was
published in the program, and it
was a surprise to many, that while
comparatively a young organization
in this section of the country to see
the local order is composed of such
"a large and representative body of
men.
Among those who labored earn
estly for the success of the benefit
might be mentioned Messrs. Joe
lCohen, Charles Dallas and R. A.
ISphar, besides the interest mani
tested by each officer and member.
The receipts will be Immediately
sent to the persons who have charge
of the dispensing of funds to the
Earthquake sufferers, a most worthy
Iobject of charity and one worthy Of
the efforts of any order. The Eagles
Having as it we're made their first ap-
Ipearance in such a successful manner
their next entertainment will be an

GROSSCUP ON CORPORATIONS
Evils Growing Out of Their Actions
Due to Lack of Control by
Their Creators

CHICAGO, Feb. H-"The people of the
United States still believe that the thing
in their national life bigger than all others
is the individual man, his development and
his destiny" This assertion was made by
Judge Peter s. Grosscup of the United
States circuit court in an address before
the members of the Hamilton club at Il
good fellowship dinner tonight Judge
Grosscup's subject was THE Relation of
the Corporation to the Future Of the Coun-
try
Continuing he said in part:
Two forces confront us. The first of
these is the prevailing Indifference OF the
states and the nation to the character
their corporate offspring shall sustain; the
other is the rising current of general
public ownership. THESE two currents,
however. How from the same source. The
reason why the corporate domain of the
country's property Is thing apart from
the people at large, and the reason why
the propaganda of general ownership Is
rising everywhere like waters in the spring
time, is Just because the corporate domain
of the country's property is becoming more
and more in the feeling of the people, Il
thing apart, ard the reason why the cor
porate domain is II thing apart is because
the corporation, born out OF the IONS OF
the state is abandoned even before II is
born. The danger that this indifference
has brought upon us is not the sin or the
corporation, but the outcome OF our own
sin.
The thing to be done now is not TO spend
our energies in Pronunciation nor hawk at
the corporation In mere spirit OF pcrse-
cution, but to begin at once the work OF
its regeneration.
In closing Judge Grosscup drew pic
ture of what could be accomplished in this
direction by strong political party which
took up the work sincerely and with the
interests of the public at heart
