Paper to Foil Counterfeiters

HIS precautions start with the blank paper on
which he prints his notes 1t is peculiar paper
with silk threads running all through it. paper that
can be manufactured only by powerful and expensive
machinery, out of reach of the ordinary counter
eitcr. Experience has proved that this paper is the
greatest safeguard OF all that surround the work;
for, far Is known, cOuntcrfeter has ever
perfectly initiated it. The nearest they have
come has been to paste two sheets of thin paper
together with silk threads between them. Any
thing better than this has always been stolen, not
manufactured.
So Uncle sam has established the most rigid rules
about this paper. He contracts with certain firms
to supply him with 1t, and no others are allowed 70
make II at all, and the favored ones only under the
most rigid bonds for its Satckeepng; ANYBODY else
having II in his possession is liable long ial
tence. Every sheet that is made is counted. and
recorded again and again Just carefully though
it already thousand dollar bill. After it is
delivered TO Uncle Sans representatives, it is fol
lowed even more carefully than before. Between
the manufacture OF the paper and the finishing of the
note each piece OF paper IS counted more than fifty
times by many different counters.
Before the paper reaches Uncle sam the plate with
which the printing is to he done has been engraved.
To the plate duplicates are used in printing.
The process begins with the preparation OF designs

work Uncle Sam has a
clear field. Nobody in

about all this work almost
without reference to out

energetic body of competi-

1t is to protect the people, that Uncle Sam

TO CRITICIZE BLINDLY.

Grand Juror John Kidwell had a kick

court at noon today to make its final

wanted to know if a report to the court
should be made in the case of per-
son speaking to a juror about an in
dictment already found The judge
thought that unless the case was an
aggravated one it did not cali for ac-
ton. 1t was as if someone should tell
him his decision was bad, after he had
given 1.-THE would simply tell such a
person to go to the Supreme Court and
reverse it.
Kidwell rose in the jury box to say
that some juror must have revealed
secrets, to enable the party in question
to speak to juror as he had done.
Kidwell thought the judge ought to
severely roast the juror. De Bolt didn't
know who he was. Kidwell said roas st
anyhow. De Bolt said he wanted to d {
the right person. A general roast
would he roasting all the innocent
ones. However" he added. Of the
juror who gave away the secrets, if
there is one, will rise will administer
rebuke."
Kidwell sat down no one else rose,
and the incident closed.
