BUT NOTHING TAKEN

Miss NJ L Hagner, who occupies an
apartment on the second floor Of the
Burlington, 1920 Vermont avenue
northwest, went out to make some
calls yesterday afternoon, and left her
latch key in the door so that her
servant could get in during her alb
sence.
When she returned, shortly before s
o'clock. Miss Hagner found that her
apartment had been ransacked- Wear
ing apparel was strewn about the
rooms and furniture was turned topsy-
turvy.
Miss Hagner called up Police Head
quarters and Detectives Warren and
Mullen were sent up to the apartment
The detectives learned that nothing
had been stolen. so far as Miss Hag-
ner had been able 10 determine.
A large box couch in the front
room. IN which Miss Hagner kept a
number Of gowns, had been turned up
side down and the contents scattered
around the different rooms. Bureau
! drawers had been pulled out and the
contents dumped on the floors A bot

WILKIE To HUNT
COUNTERFEITERS
In Chicago TO Aid in Catch
ing Makers of Bogus
S. Certificates.

CHICAGO. Nov. 4-Chief Wnkie. of
the United States Secret Service, is ex-
pected to arrive in Chicago from Wash
ington tomorrow to assist in the hunt
for the counterfeiters who have circu-
lated here more than $4,000 in counter
felt IS silver certificates.
That the counterfeiter is an expert
is shown by the ease with which he
makes the counterfeit bills correspond
with the genuine article. Only an eX-
pert would recognize the discrepancies
in the bogus bill The paper Is almost
Identical with that used by the Treas
ury Department, and silk threads are
run through It IN such a manner as 20
deceive the ordinary person.
According to Capt. Thomas I. Porter
a IS believed that one man is making
