Johnny Clayton was the i'll used son

teachers bscsme accustomed to it and

But when the bishop came to town
and talked to the Sunday school he
lined up the boys and girls in class
room form to ask them some questions
from the catechism. Johnny Clayton
happened to be ut the upper end Of

him the first question:

the bishop severely.

NEW YORK FLOODED
WITH BOGUS MONEY
Clever Imitation of Belgian Bank
Paper Accepted Readily by Metro
poiitan Concerns.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-Local agents
of the United States secret service
have been giving thorough investi-
cation of the wholesale circulation Of
1000-franc notes Of the Banque Ma
tionale Of Belgium, the existence of
which was revealed through a Wall
street banking and brokerage firm,
which says a number of notes were
seized after being presented for COL
lection. The inquiry progressed under
the direction Of William J. Flynn chief
of the local division of the secret
service. Indications are that the work
was done by very clever gang of
international swindlers. The counter
felt notes are said to be the best that
have been worked off since some bo-
gus Swedish notes were scattered over
the country about six years ago. One
banking firm is said to have been vic
timized to the extent of taking 300
600 francs Of the counterfeit Belgian
issue. Chief Flynn has taken charge
Of the notes which were held by Zim-
norman & Forshay, the firm whose
suspicious first brought the swindle
to light.
