Nnte Anainst Utah Senator.

Majority Of Senate Committee viii
Vote Against Utah Senator.
Washington. May "a poll OF the
senate committee on privileges and
elections developed that a majority
will vote to sustain the charges
against Seantor Reed Smoot, but that
the full strength of the opposition
cannot be held for a report recon-
mending the exclusion of the seantor,
which would require only a majority
vote of the senate In view OF this
showing. those who believe the
charges against the Utah senator were
proved. are seeking an agreement by
which a report can be made in favor
OF unseating Mr.. Smoot, and without
taking into consideration the consti-
tutional questions involved. If this Is
done. It would leave to the senate the
determination of the question whether
a majority or two-thirds vote is re-
Quired to unseat him.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.

crude Imitation II Is.
The banks of the city have recently
discovered counterfeit money among
tne deposits Of some of their Gus
toners. The Ardmore National Bank
came across two OF these coins. which
have bee nall tnat has been detected.
They were dollars, and a very crude
imitation OF the genuine American
dollar, They were at once returned
to the firm who deposited them and,
that firm happening to know where
they got them have returned them to
the ones they received them from. II
is now up TO the holders of the dol
lars TO stand the loss, unless they
know from whom they received them,
which is very unlikely, The dollar
is of recent date and is a very poor
imitation of the real thing, and could
be easily detected by anyone accus-
toned to handling money as they
are black from the amount of lead
which they contain, and have no ring
whatever to them. Il is probable
they were brought here by some pas
sing show or street peddler as they
would have been discovered before
had they been in circulation around
the city.
