FIND BAD MONEY DEN.
May Be Undong of Big Counterfeitins
Gang!

A party of small boys on sap
ping expedition on small island in
the Mississippi near La Crosse, dis
covered what may lead to be the I'M
covering Of one of the largest coun-
terfeiting gangs which ever operated
in the Northwest
In a small hut built of willows in a
densely wooded spot and covered
with boughs and limbs, the young
up by. In scratching in a pile of pa
pers in a corner for fuel they heard
something clink and uncovered a pile
of several hundred newly nodded
fifty-cent pieces A search of the
shanty revealed large number Of
the coins and a quantity of bullion
from which they were made. The lads
investigated further and found the
perfectly formed dies with which the
coins were made. There were evil
dences about the hut that it had been
recently inhabited and by more than
Ollt DCISOu.
The lads carried the money and the
dies to the North side, La Crosse,
where they were turned over to the
police. An investigation is being
made, but it is likely the case will
be turned over to the government de-
tectives.
1t is the theory of the police that
thousands Of dollars of spurious mon
ely have been manufactured there and
that the counterfeiters are part of a
large gang. This theory is borne out
by the excellence and perfection of
the dies. They are SO nearly perfect
that it would be impossible to detect
the counterfeit if the regulation bull
lion used by the government were
put into the coins. What the compo-
sition of the counterfeits is is not
known, but they have the appearance
Of being real money.-W.

TAFT LEADS IN
STATE CAUCUS[S
Most OF Delegates Elected to
County Conventions Favor
the Secretary.
NO CONTESTS ARE EXPECTED

st. Paul, April S.-The returns from
the caucuses that were held through
out the state Saturday night and last
night to elect delegates to the county
conventions which will elect dele
gates to the Republican state conven-
ton fully justify the statement of
those who have Deen claiming Mime
sofa for Taft. Ramsey county held
its caucuses last night and everything
went for Taft. Hennepin and some
other counties will hold their eau
cuses this evening, and some counties
will not elect delegates to their coun-
ty conventions until Wednesday.
The returns from the counties that
held caucuscs Saturday night and last
night are not complete, but they are
sufficient to make it certain that
every single district in the state will
send a Taft delegation. Wilkin and
Clay counties SO far are the only
places where anything else than Taft
men were elected. Breckenridge, in
Wilkin county, is town populated
almost entirely by railroad employees,
and they elected La Toilette delegates
to the county convention.
GAINESVILLE, in Clay county, last
night also elected La Toilette men to
the county convention.
In Cannon Falls, where J. c. Apple
gate has been working hard for La
Toilette, Applegate himself was de-
feated and a Taft delegation was
elected, and the Goodhue county con-
vention will go for Taft solid In
Red Wing there was only one list Of
delegates voted for, and these all go
to the county convention pledged to
Taft 1t is understood that delega-
tons from every precinct in the coun-
ty is for Taft. No contests have been
reported from any precinct.
In only a few places in the state
were there contests, but none have
reported anything else than Taft vic
tories so far, while in some of the
cases it was personal contests be
tween men who wanted to go and
vote for Taft.

Marnette Works Have First to BE
Used in the Twin Cities.

Several large power knitting ma
chimes have been installed at the
plant of the Marinette Knitting works
at Marinette The machines are the
first to be installed in the two cities.
Heretofore all of the knitting has
been done with hand machines. The
new machinery will not only greatly
increase the output of the local plant,
but it will also mean more work and
more skilled labor. The plant is
starting on its busy season, and
enough large orders have been re-
ceived to keep it operating steadily
for several months. All of the sample
lines have been completed, and the
regular orders are now coming in in
large quantities. Sixty girls are now
employed and a number of new ones
will be. added In the neighborhood

The report is made by w. C. He'll
'fprn. one of the deputy examiners,
r covers about thirty pages, includ-
ing mass of figures. The report in
cludes a copy of a letter written to
Mr.. Schefer by George w. Peterson,
assistant attorney general, in which
he states that the National Surety
company, which was on Mr. Warmers
bond for $4,000, is liable for that
amount for any shortage discovered.
The Items.
The aggregate alleged shortage re
ported by the examiner is made up of
the following items: Difference be-
tween the collections in the Minneap-
oils division and the money turned
in to the state treasurer, $5,S2643;
Shortage on account of "out ship
ments,' no af1davits showing them to

make total of $4,000.
No Shortage, Says Warner.
Mr.. Warner was unwilling to make
any extended. comment on the dis
crepancies in the oil department
charged to him.
All l will say at the present time
is" said Mr. Warner, that as far as
| am concerned there is no shortage"
Il have repeatedly said this, and I
stick to it, Because an inspector says
thGre is a shortage does not make it
