JOE McLANE CAPTURED
A NOTORIOUS CoUNTERFEITER
LODGED BEHIND THE BARS.
His Gang Made and Circulated Bogus
Five and Ten-DoIlar
Gold Pieces.

Chief John e. Wilkie of the secret service
Is in receipt of information of the arrest
at Natchitoches, La, for murder, of Joe
McLane alias S. A. McLane, alias j. E.
kennon. notorious counterfeiter. 1t is
quite certain Chief Wilkie and his officers
will breathe the more freely with McLane
behind the bars for a long period. He is
regarded as one of the most dangerous
counterfeiters of gold coin In the country.
According to the files of the secret serv-
ice McLane has had long career of crime
and his picture Is one of the conspicuous
features of Chief Wilkes gallery of
rogues. For many years he and the mem
bers Of the gang who operated with him
have given the United States officers a
deal OF trouble. They have made all sorts
of counterfeit coins, but devoted their time
chiefly to the manufacture OF five and ten
dollar gold pieces. The counterfeits were
good ones. too, well stamped and milied
but of no intrinsic value. They had little
difficulty, evidently. In getting rid OF the
bogus coins, for they operated principally
in the country districts Of the south and
southwest. and 1t usually took some time
for the coin to reach bank, where, OF
course, 1t was denounced instantly.
A Lucky Guess.
For long time the secret service opera
tives were unable to ascertain where the
bogus coins came from. They found many
OF them In circulation and picked up many
others at banks where they had been stamp
ed mo good but the makers had left IT.

Magistrates Attached Vessels for
Wages Due to Sailors.

Through its legation here the Dutch gov
ernment has lodged with the State Depart
ment protest against the action OF the
local authorities at Port Biakeley, Wash.
In attaching the Dutch ship Emanuel for
wages alleged to be due two sailors The
department has therefore been obliged to
address the governor of Washington re-
minder that such an attachment is in di-
rect violation of the treaty rights OF the
shipmaster, and that any issue between
himself and the members of his crew must
be adjusted by the Dutch consul. The de-
partment has been obliged to thus admon-
ish several local magistrates two cases =

OF finding the persons who had put It In
circulation, although he received a fair de-
scriplon of the man who had passed the
coin Going to the railroad station later
in the day to take train he saw four men
sitting on a baggage truck. He did not
approve OF them at first glance and he
looked them over the more closely Then
ne discovered that one of them fitted the
description of the man who had passed the
gold coin. He took chance and arrest
ed the whole crowd. After that his work
was easy. From evidence found on the
persons of the prisoners the officer I'M
earthed the coiners' outfit and lot of bo-
gus coin. Two of the men weakened and
confessed and all Of them were convicted
and sentenced to terms in the penitentiary.
