coUNTERFEITs IN PANAMA.
Secret Service Man Back With All the
Details.

One of the operatives of Chief Wi1kie of
the secret service has returned from the
Isthmus of Panama. bringing with him a
description of two counterfeits of Ameri-
can money that have made their appear
ance there and in the republic Of Panama
Chief Wilkie is today sending out warn
ings to bankers and others, although he
does not know whether the notes will show
up in this country. The counterfeits are of
the buffalo $40 note and the s. note of the
American Exchange National Bank of New
York OF the buffalo note the series is
1901, check letter A. face plate 252, back
plate 1O4. Lyons, register. The national
bank note is of the series of 1902, check
letter B, charter 1894 containing the por-
trait of President Harrison.
Chief Wilkie says that while the notes are
fairly deceptive. being of the photo mechan-
zeal process. they bear ink marks instead Of
silk threads and the treasury and bank
number of the national bank notes are
printed in black instead of in red.
1t is believed the counterfets were made
in Italy and shipped to the isthmus for pas
sage among the many workmen on the
canal The man who first began passing
them in the city of Panama was promptly
arrested.

GUARDED BY POLICE.
Non-Union Workmen at Work on Lo-
cal Building.

Interest was added to the local labor sit
uation today by the report that non-union
men had been put to work on the building
being remodeled on the northwest corner
of 9th and G streets. and that police pro-
lection had been asked for. The alleged
reason for asking Intervention OF the police
was the fear that attack would be
made on the non-union men.
1t is learned that two non-union sheet
metal workers from a northern city WERE
brought here last night and put to work on
the metal cornice work OF the building this
morning. A Star reported visited the. build
ing at 2 o'clock this afternoon and there
was no sign of disorder or of any unusually
large gathering. A policeman was standing
In front of the building. and In response to
The Star mans question said he had been
stationed at the building since noon and
there had not been the slightest symptom
Of trouble. The non-union men were
working on a platform putting the copper
cornice work about the top Of the big show
windows and did not seem to be at all
worried.
1t is stated that another non-union sheet
meta worker was brought into the city
this morning, but the union men had a talk
with him and he refused to go to work.
Outside of this small Importation or
strike breakers there is no change In the
local labor situation in the past twenty
four hours.

that the worlds supply Of meerschaum in
Asia Minor was becoming rapidly exhaust

schaum. so highly priced by pipe manufac-
turers. and which has heretofore come
from Turkey, in Asia Minor. has recently
been found in New Mexico, and the ex
IRENE scarcity which has characterized
it's production will soon be at an end. The
mines are located in the Diablo range OF
mountains, about twenty miles northwest
Of Pinos Altos. to which a branch of the
Santa Fe railroad runs from Deming.
There have been stripped two true fissure
veins. continuous for 1900 feet each. in
which there is carried between strongly

twenty inches. A wagon road is now being
built from the mines to Pinos Altos a dis

scHMITz PUT OUT OF OFFICE.
San Francisco Supervisors Remove tho
Convicted Official.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 1s.-Mayor Eu-
gene E. Schmitz, who was elected for the
term ending January 8, 1908, was formally
removed from office by the supervisors yes
terday afternoon. Supervisor James Gal
lagher was named as acting mayor.
This Is the first step taken by the off,
Gals of the graft prosecution in the execu-
ton Of their plan to restore good govern
ment In this city. The ground on which
Mayor Schmitz was removed was that, ow-
ing to his Incarceration in the county jail
following his conviction on a felony
charge, he was no longer able to perform
his public duties
Gallagher will not hold the position of
acting mayor for more than a few days.
The resignation Of a certain member Of the
board of supervisors will make room for
the appointment Of a responsible citizen to
succeed him as acting mayor. 1t Is under
stood that several other supervisors will
then resign, and their places be filled by the
new mayor. Following this change. a clean
sweep Of the various departments will be
made. The police commission, Chief of
Police jeremiah Oman and the board Of
public works will be the first to go. 1t Is
probable that w. J. Buggy, the elisor who
has charge Of Abe" Ruef since the latter
arrest, will be appointed chief Of police. He
Is a man of aggressive honesty, and a great
shake-up in the police department would
follow his appointment. No intimation has
been given by the graft prosecutors as to
the man they will select for the mayoralty.

Causes Concern.

Secretary Metcalf will leave Washington
on the 18th instant for San Francisco to
make a special study of the shipyards of
the coast. with special reference to the pros
ecution of the. naval construction therein.
The disclosure of the fact that existing
labor conditions on the Pacific coast COM
bined with the high price Of material make
1t impossible for the shipbuilders there to
successfully compete for government con-
tracts with eastern shipyards has given ,e-
rious concern to the naval general board
as gravely affecting the plans for naval de-
velopment. While in Congress Secretary
Metcalf strongly resisted the abolition OF
the differential of per cent formerly al
lowed by Congress In favor of Pacific Goa

fairly represents the difference In the cost

strong appeal will be made to Congress 70

Formerly Prosecuting officer in New

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 1S.-Henry Shackes-
ford Davis, formerly an assistant district
attorney of New York county, was arrested
this morning at his home at 40 Columbia
Heights. Brooklyn, on a warrant charging
him with grand larceny in the second de-
gree. The warrant was issued by justice
of the peace at Riverhead, L. l., and Sheriff
Furey Of Riverhead made the arrest. He
was accompanied by Central Office Detect
i've Gomeringer and Private Detective Jacob
Hamburger
Mr.. Davis for the last few months has
been looking after the law business of Del

for Harry Thaw while Mr.. Delmas has been
absent In San Francisco. He was very in
dignant when placed under arrest. and as
serted that 1t was put-up job intended as
an act of personal revenge by Detective

grudge against him.

breast drill which Mr.. Marvin had identi-
fled as one of his stolen tools. When ques-

UNIFORM ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
United States and Canada to Follow
Identical Plan

Beginning with the present fiscal year.
there will be uniform system of railway
accounting practically all of North
America. Canada has notified the United
States that she intends to adopt the sys-
tenn of statistics and accounting that the
United States is going to put into effect,
and 1t remains only for Mexico to adopt
this system to have the entire continent on
a uniform basis.
The new system Of accounting has been
formulated by the interstate commerce
commission since the passage of the Hep
burn law. 1t has been the work of
the statistician of the commission in CO.
operation with the railroad traffic officials
of the whole country. The Hepburn law
provided for a uniform system of book
keeping and accounting, and after con-
siderabl trouble the commission has de-
vised a system to be used by all the rail-
roads, so that there will be no private ac-
counts not open to the inspection of the
government. The railroads will be required
to make monthly reports Of earnings. oper-
ating expenses and expenditures of all
sorts for betterments and the amount
credited to depreciation. These reports will
be in effect very much like the government
system Of crop reports and will furnish a
basis for the accurate valuation of any
railroad stock at the time the report Is
made.
IdSHe, CoHlIOiieT VI OF the
Canadian department of railways and
canals, has been in communication with the
Interstate commerce commission and has
written requesting full set of the books
and forms that the United States govern
ment will compel the railroads to keep. He
announced in letter to the commission to-
day that the Canadian government intend
ed to adopt the United States system in its
entirety that there would be entire uni
formty in railroad accounts between the
two countries. This is important from a
good many points of view. There are such
close relations between the Canadian and
United States railways that the operations
of the one are very vital to the operations
of the other. From statistical stand
point also 1t will be of value, facilitating
the comparison of results between the rail-
roads Of the two countries.
