Defraud Medical Firms.
San Francisco, CAL A counterfeit,
Ing scheme of gigantic proportions has
been unearthed in San Francisco by
detectives sent here by the Charles II
Fletcher Company of New York and
the f. A. Stuart Company of Marshall
Michigan.
These concerns are the manufact
urers of several proprietary medicines
These goods have an extensive sale
all over the world, and the arrest Of
Matt A. LarlSin here discloses a scheme
OF counterfeitlng which for careful
planning has but few equals.
Larkin is the local manager for the
Mills Novelty Company, who are large
dealers in slot machines with branches
all over the United States. He had as
sociated with him one August Hanson,
who has a large printing establish
ment here. Their plan was TO make
absolute counterfeits of all the labels,
wrapping, etc, which is used by the
Fletcher and Stuart Companies, and
food the country with spurious prep
arations.
Hanson attempted to reproduce the
work here, but found he could not
have certain parts OF the finest work
done here, so he sent plates, etc., to a
nephew of his who is manager Of the
Kureier Company of Hildersheim,
Germany. Here the fine Italian hand
of the counterfeiting was supplied
When finished the labels, etc, print
ed both here and in Germany, were
shipped to Troy, N. Y, where the
goods were to be put up. 1t would
seem that the proprietors of these
preparations learned of the scheme
last February, and have had de-
tectives on the case both here and
In Germany, and succeeded in seizing
all the counterfeit tabs, and also the
plates from which they were printed
before the conspirators got possession
of them; consequently not a package
of the Counterfeits has been put in
the market.
The plates from which the tabs were
printed were made by Bolton & Strong
of this city.
Hanson and Strong have both con-
fessed to their connection with the
work, and will testify against the real
conspirators, of whom Larkin Is said
to be the ring leader. Larkin has al
ways borne an excellent reputation. He
was formerly an alderman at Troy, N.
Y, his former home
Criminal prosecutions will follow,
duplicating several we'll known people
in the East for their connection with
the case. A representative of the pros
ecuting companies stated here that it
had cost over $4,000 to run down these
cOnspirators.

Secretary Taft Going to Berlin.

Manila-As the result Of volumin
GUS cable correspondence between
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft it is understood that the latter
will leave Manila, Nov. 2, in order to
reach Berlin at the earliest possible
moment.
1t Is impossible to communicate
with the secretary at present, and the
officials are silent regarding change
in his plans. 1t is understood, how
ever, that he will leave here on the
flagship Rainbow.
Rear Admiral Hemphill received a
cablegram on Monday, asking wheth-
er he could make the cruiser ready
to sail on Sunday. He responded in
the Affirmative and was informed un-
officially that a matter of the utmost
importance Is pending in Germany
and Secretary Taft's presence there
is necessary Immediately.
The hasty departure of Secretary
Taft will cut short his stay In the
Philippines one week.

Big Strike of Mil Workers.

Lawrence, Mass Dissatisfaction
with conditions that have ex.s cd II
the worsted weaving Of the Arlington
mills since the advent Of j. b. BoltoI
as Oyerseer eliminated in strili,
Wednesday, which involves upward o
1900 hands. 1t is the largest strik,
that this corporation has ever had anl
resulted In the closing down Of the de
Lartment
1t started in the morning in a sym
pathetic action because of what wa
regarded as practically the disch lrgt
of second hand, Fred Hardy, Tn
weaVers of shed No. 2 refused 10 star
up their looms until Mr.. Haldy hat
been reinstated, and coupled with thi
was the request for the discharge oi
Overseer Bolton. A confe ence wit
the mill officials being without resnl
the operatives left in a body, and
the afternoon their number was abou
doubled by the operatives of wcav,
shed No. /.
According to the strikers, Secon,
Hand Hardy was given his choice o
being transferred to another room
with an accompanying reduction CT
SG.36 per week in compensation, OF
leaving the employ of the corpol alton
He elected the latter, aad the knowl
edge of his retirement was sufic'ea
to start the discomfort. A de.ega / /
was named to confer with Agent Harts
horne and 1t was referred by him t,
Supt. Mercer
OF the latter the committee demand
ed that Overseer Bolton should be dis
charged. They were told this was on
of the question.
The uncertainty of the situation
gave rise to feeling of discon.e .ent, ac.
cording to strikers, and demands were
made upon them which they felt were
unreasonable. Operatives would bs
summoned to the Office, it was said [,
learn that they had been slated for
discharge and the action with refer
ence to Second Hand Hardy proved
the breaking point between the man
agement and the operatives.

folk Downs, DR.. Albert Cushman Day
committed suicide. The brilliant young
City HospitfI interne, rather than
face the world as the story of his
dual life was to be unfolded, walked
to Weld Field on Saturday and sent
bullet into his heart The first wed.
ding took place in Brockton March
l6, 1904, by Clinton F. Packard, Jr,
justice OF the peace.
His second wedding took place last
Wednesday.
With the discovery of his clandestlne
marriage to the pretty young girl who
was a grammar school pupil at the
time Of her wedding, which took place
three years ago, and the barring OF
his pseudo engagement to Helen
Mbrse, the beautiful young school
teacher of Haverhill, all mystery sur
rounding the motive that impelled the
young surgeon to end his own exist
ence was unveiled.
On the fatal day when DIR. Day shot
himself in the Weld Field, on the
very spot that was the scene of his
ardent wooing of the young Roslindale
school girl, he first went to the store
where the real Mrs. Day was employed
about 10 o'clock in the morning, and
admitted that he had married the Cal
lahan woman and told his first wife
that she could take any action she
chose.
A hot interchange of words fol-
lowed, the young wife, who has bare
ly turned her goth year, gently up
braiding her husband for his faithless-
ness, and the latter readily admit
ting that he had been guilty of a
crime against her and the law. At
that time he made no threat of COM
mitting suicide, and the surprise OF
the young wife was great when she
learned that her husband had taken
his own life.
With the knowledge that her hus-
band had died by his own hand, the
young widow insisted on her rights
as a wife and went to the City Hos.
pital Sunday morning and claimed the
body.
Accompanying her was her father
and mother, and with the disclosure
made at the hospital by. the legal
widow that DR.. Day had been guilty of
duplicity in his relations with his wife
and Miss Callahan, there was a scene
that bordered on the dramatic.
When she learned that DR.. Day, to
whom she was legally married, had
welded Miss Callahan, Mrs. Day was
averse to taking any action, but her
father, filled with the wrath of an
angry parent who sees his only child
wronged, determined to prosecute DR..
Day for bigamy.
He engaged General Charles w.
Bartlett as counsel, and had fixed on
an early prosecution of the doctor
when the family was startled by the
news of his suicide.
When the Thompsons heard of the
sad tragedy, the members decided to
drop all proceedings, and to save the
memory OF DR.. Day.

that Great Britain will soon follow

and establish a Government printing

governing colonies" What fat Jobs
