JOHN BOIGH ARRESTED
And Held With TWO Others on Unexplained
Felony Charge.


John Bough, described as a broker OF
s48 Greene avenue, Brooklyn; Jurdon E.
Seeley. lawyer, and Thomas Gibbons,
clerk, we're arrested here yesterday by
Central Office detectives and held at the
Tombs in S. 900 bail each for examination
on Saturday. The charge ia grand larceny
and the detectives said that the Boston
police had asked to have the arrests made,
and that another arrest was coming. The
Boston police professed to know nothing
about the case, but the New York men
say the prisoners are fugitives from justice
In Boston and are not concerned in the
Norfolk and Western forgery case.
John l., Bough is the name Of an ex-
policeman who was accused Of being the
head of the Valentine gang of commercial
swndlers that operated here and in other
cities from 1885 to 1895. The gangs pet
swindle was to buy some comfortable
little business of established credit-say
in the lumber trade-pay something on
account and then order quantities OF lum-
ber from widely separated points.
The firms credit rating was good for any
one of the orders. and all the lumber came
along. Then the gang sold it, cleared out
and resumed operations somewhere else
under a new name. Bough was arrested
as late as 1904, charged with running bogus
fire insurance company and collecting pre-
miums on 81, 900, 600 of fictitious insurance.
BosToN Jan. 1l.-At Boston police head
quarters tonight the statement was made
that no request had been sent to New York
for the arrest of Bough. Seeley and Glib
bons as fugitives from justice here. The
only record of Bough having come here
was in July, 1896, when he interested George
!. Robinson, Jr., State street broker, in
some worthless notes. but Robinson got on

TO CONSIDER SCHOOL CENSUS.
Board OF Estimate Expect Ell to Act To-iay y
Arguments In Favor OF One.

Several organizations have called for a
school census. and communication on
the subject from the Department of Educa-
tion is to be considered by the Board of
Estimate to-day. This communication does
not deny the necessity for the census, but
it contends that there is no money for the
taking of it and asks that any appropria-
ton for the purpose be not deducted from
the school allowance,
The necessity for a census of children
has been urged by the National Child Labor
Committee, the Association for Improving
the Condition Of the Poor, the University
Settlement Society and the Normal College
Alumne House. 1t has been approved by
the State Board of Education.
Here are some of the reasons submitted
to Mr.. Grout, when Comptroller, requesting
census
Without true statistics the city does not
know where it stands as to accommodation
for children Of school age; public officers
ought to know how many children Of school
age there are in the city and whether they
are in school or not; many children of school
age are on the street in school hours and
the public want to know why; enforcement
of child labor laws is handicapped when
information is lacking as to the number of
CnltlTen Ol SCHOOL age, IL IL lfnpOSSlDle 10
determine whether the compulsory eduoa-
tion law is fully observed; nobody can tell
whether the foreign children" are being
promptly put to school; it is desirable to
know whether schoolhouuses are placed
where they are needed d-many children have
to go twelve blocks to school.
Mr.. Grout's Investigators reported that
Athe law has been now for some eight years
practically dead letter, and in view OF the
unsatisfactory results of the census as al
ready taken it might be we'll before reviving
the act to consider the advisability OF
amending 1t. This might be done in time
for the taking Of a census In 1905. 1t would
seem that action, if any to be taken by the
Board of Estimate would be at the most
but advisory"
This is the action that is expected to be
taken by the board to-day "n an endeavor
to secure appropriate legislation for the
taking Of an efficient and satisfactory school
census as often as may be doomed necessary
to compliance with constitutional and
statutory requirements in regard to MAIN
tenance of the public school system"

TO MAKE MONEY FOR MEXICO.
Philadelphia Mint to Coin 400 600 Gold
Pieces Worth Ten Pesos Each.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1l.-Within a few
days the officials Of the United States Mint
here will start the coinage of 81 100000
worth of gold coin for the Mexican Gov
ernment. This is a result of the recent
establishment Of the gold standard in the
currency of that country.
The coins will be of the value Of ten pesos,
which will make 400 600 coins to be struck
from the dies which are now com pleted
For the purpose gold bullion now in the
vaults of the mint will be used and when
the coins are delivered the Mexican Gov
ernment will reimburse the United States
Treasury with like amount Of bullion.
No profit will be made by this country as
a result of the work, the only charge to
Mexico being the actual cost of the labor
employed and the wear and tear upon the
machinery in the coming department,

Winnipeg, Man. July 27.-Chief
McRae has secured the assistance Of
detectives from the south to assist
in looking after the 'pickpockets and
other crooks who have come to Win
nipeg with the idea of working the
exhibition. Last night two of these.
Detectives Clayton and Jackson,
rounded up three men who are ac-
cused of being professional light
fingered artists. The three men gave
the names of Clayton, Reece and
Baird, and are we'll dressed and most
respectable looking. They had about
$1,000 in their possession when ar
rested.
Detective Jackson stated last night
that they are three of the best in the
business and are we'll known to the
police across the line He stated that
there are number of other members
Of the gang at present in the city, and
that more of them will be behind, the
bare within couple of days.
There can be but little doubt but
that these men were preparing fer a
big campaign. When arrested two of
them had Owners" badges on, and
Baird carried an attendants" pass.
These had evidently been secured from
the exhibition management to give
them standing in the grounds, and
would permit them to move about
freely wherever there was a crowd
congregated
