Secret Service Men Break Up Gang
That Made Bogus SIS Bills-Six
Under Arrest.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-That the coun-
terfeit SIS bills which have been freely
circulated in Chicago, ST. Louis, Day
ton, Ohio; Cleveland, New Orleans.
Minneapolis and other cities in the
last two months were manufactured
by an organized gang operating in
Chicago, and that this gang is practi-
cally broken up, was said by the Unit
ed States secret service authorities
last night to have been determined by
a number of arrests. Some of the
men arrested are declared to have
made confessions, saying that 100000
worth of the bills were made; that the
plates were engraved by one of the
gang, and the bogus money was
struck off in wholesale lots at a place
in this city.
With Leo Brown, Edward Wheed
and Edward Wescott under arrest are
Dr. w. H. Young, George Anderson
and lola parkinson, the latter three
being held in connection with the cir
culation of the bills. A fire recently
in the building in which the plant
was located is said to have destroyed
a large number of the bills. After a
quarrel between the men over the re
ceipts the plates are declared to
have been thrown into the Chicago
river. Although printed upon a poor
imitation of the government paper,
the counterfeits were not easily de-
tected Business men readily accept
ed them, but bank officials at once
saw the defects.

ASKS NEW OIL REVIEW.
Takse Position COURT of Appeals Was
Without Jurisdiction.


Washington, Nov. 25. Attorney
General Bonaparte filed yesterday a
petition in the supreme court of the
United States urging that court to is
sue a writ of certiorari to the circuit
court of appeals for the seventh cir
cult to review the judgment Of that
court reversing the rulings Of Judge
Lands in the case in which the Stand
ard Oil company was fined $29,000,000
on the charge of violating the anti
trust law. The attorney general takes
the position that the court of appeals
was without jurisdiction when it re-
versed Judge Landis' decision. The
rehearing is urged On the following
assertions:
1t is highly desirable to promote
ju ;tice in the further prosecution and
final determination of this particular
case.
It is indispensable for the instruc-
ton and advice of the government.
1t is necessary for the control and
guidance of the federal courts in dis
posing of similar cases.
The issue of the writ is necessary
also in order that the business com
munity and the people at large may
be informed as to the meaning of
the law by the judgment of this court.
The wording of the governments
petition indicates that the department
of justice is fully aware of the courts
practice of denying 80 per cent of
such petitions. The court grants these
petitions only when constitutional
questions are involved and the attor-
ney general makes strong effort to
have it appear that the present case
falls within this category.

ARCHBOLD TAKES The STAND
Proves Mine of Detailed Information
Under Direction of COM
pany's Counsel.

New York, Nov. 26.-With sigh of
relief, John D. Rockefeller, king of
the Standard Oil, yesterday afternoon
gave up the witness chair in the gov
ernment's suit for the dissoluti N Of
trusts. He was not out of the room
before John D. Archbold was called
to the stand.
Although freed from the ordeal Of
the searching inquisition conducted
by Trust Buster Kellogg, Mr.. Rock
efeller was not quite through with his
days experience with the courts.
There was a lively scene in the corri-
dor of the customs house as he was
leaving the building at the conclusion
of his testimony.
Has Narrow Escape.
A process server tried to thrust a
subpoena into the hands of the
Standard Oil chief, but a law clerk
accompanying Mr.. Rockefeller saw
his purpose and before the subpoena
could be served pushed Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter into an elevator. The elevator shot
downward, carrying Mr.. Rockefeller
out of the mans reach.
Some light was thrown upon the
vast sum which the Standard Oil
holds in Wall street for loan invest
ment when interest rates are high or
stock is to be manipulated. Mr.. Kel-
logg thought this loan fund amounted
to about $10O,000,000 Mr.. Rockefeller
smiled and said:
Excessive"
He finally put the proper figure a.
100000 and declared his belief i'll
short-time loans as a form of invest
ment.
Tells of Railroad Stock.
Mr.. Rockefeller threw some uneX-
pected light on the popular question
of into what channels of investment
he turned his tremendous earnings
from the oil combination. Mr.. Rock
efeller was loath to state the names
of the railroads in which his invest
ments were made, but did so after en-
tering his objections. Rockefeller
said he held stock in the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western, the New
York Central, the Pennsylvania, the
Western Maryland, the Missouri Pa
cifc, the Texas Pacific and the Colo
rada Southern. He said he owned no
shares in either the Union Or the
Southern Pacific.
Archbold on Stand.
John D. Archbold, vice president of
the Standard, proved a mine of de-
tailed information under the direction
of the company's counsel regarding
the early production Of crude oil and
the development of the pipe line sys-
tenn. Mr.. Archbold likely will be on
the witness stand for several days.
Mr.. Archbold beamed with satisfac-
ton in telling of the Standards early
history. His clear blue eyes twinkled
when he told Of the industrial fights,
saying that he kept careful watch on
his competitor and then tried to beat
him"

THREE NEGROES
lYNCHFD BY MOB
Reelfoot Lake Region Is the
Scene of Another Tragic
Occurrence.
CAUGHT AFTER HARD CHASE
Hastily Summoned Court Condemns
NegrOes-Mob Breaks in and
Finishes Job.

Union City, Tenn, Nov &c. = The
little town of Tiptonville, bordering
On Reelfoot lake, which has been the
scene OF many stirring incidents the
past month, witnessed the lynching
late yesterday afternoon, of three ne
groes who were arrested yesterday
morning for numbering Special Depu-
ty Sheriff Burruss and fatally wound
ing John Hall, a deputy sheriff.
The negroes names are: Marshall
Stineback, Edward Stineback, Jim
Stineback.
Negroes Fight Officers.
The three brothers created a dis.
turbance at religious meeting near
Tiptonville Saturday night When the
two officers attempted to arrest them
a fight ensued in which the negroes
were victorious and made their es-
cape. 1t was barely daylight Sunday
morning before posse of citizens
from Tiptonville and surrounding
country was in pursuit of the negroes,
but they successfully eluded the white
men until 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when they were surrounded and
captured in a swamp near the village
of Ridgley. The vicinity is known as
the old river bed canebrake, and 1t is
difficult to trace man Or beast
through it's tangles. Once captured,
however, the negroes, covered by a
hundred guns, were quickly landed in
jail at Tiptonville. The negroes when
arrested had two guns in their posses
sion, but had run out of ammunition.
Mob Gathers Quickly.
The news of the capture spread rap
idly to the surrounding territory, and
in addition to the posse men began
arriving by every road, and soon the
jail was surrounded by mob which
had no hesitancy in threatening a
lynching.
Several prominent citizens made
speeches appealing to the mob to let
the law take it's course Taylor Hall,
a brother of the wounded deputy sher-
if, told the mob that postponement
of the lynching until night would be
satisfactory to him. The mob, how
ever, was very restless, and it was
soon seen that it would be impossible
to stem the tide of feeling.
AS a last resort Sheriff Haynes
went before Justice Davis and eX-
planned the situation, telling him OF
the menacing attitude Of the mob.
Justice Moves Swiftly.
Justice at once agreed to open
court at 5 o'clock, summon jury and
allow the negroes, after all the evil
dence was heard, to be duly sentenc-
ed to death.
Meanwhile Gov. Patterson was adj
vised of the situation and ordered out
a company of militia, but the soldiers
failed to arrive in time to prevent the
lynching.
At the trial all the evidence OF
those who had seen the killing was
heard. and in an incredibly short time
the Jury brought in verdict Of guilty.
fixing the penalty at death. The SEN
tence had barely been passed when
the mob, with a whoop and yell,
swarmed the court room, seized the
prisoners, rushed them to large tree
near the edge of the town and hanged
them, firing volley after volley into
the air as the bodies were drawn up
from the earth.

Top of Rock Pile Fell.

Panama, Nov. 26,-Lieut. Col. Goe-

canal, said yesterday that the damage
done to the Gatun dam was of small
consequence. He stated that the rock
pile on the south toe of the dam had
been raised to sixty feet above the
sea level, resulting in heavy pressure
on the clay foundation. The heavy
rains and the great weight of the SUI
perstructure had disturbed the equili-
brium causing falling in of the top
of the rock pile. Slips of this kind,
he said, are not infrequent.
