ACCEPT BAD MONEY
BOGUS COINS CIRCULATE FREE
LY IN MEXICO.
Only When They Get Into the Banks
or Government offices Are They
Taken Up-Work Done
systematically.

Counterfeiters find Mexico a good
field for their business. An enormous
amount. of spurious coin is in circu-
lation in that country. A remarkable
thing about these false coins Is that
they are readily accepted in the or
binary channels of trade. 1t is only
when they get into the banks or of
fees of the federal state governments
that they are taken up and retired
from circulation. The silver peso Is
the principal coin counterfeited, al
though the coins OF smaller demon
ination, particularly the five-cent
piece, are not below the notice of the
Illicit metal workers.
There is no way of estimating the
amount of false coin In circulation,
but 1t must be very large, as is evil
denced by the fact that one of every
ten coins of the peso denomination in
the ordinary transaction of business
usually is found to be spurious.
The average Mexican of the lower
class is an adept in filigree and gen.
eral metal work. The counterfeiting
outfits usually are crude affairs, and
the coins which they turn out are
good specimens, considering the
rough method of their manufacture.
Few of the counterfeiters take the
trouble to form an elaborate compost
ton for their goods. The majority
of them are content with ordinary,
lead. In many instances the coins
are cast in brass and then plated
with silver. The silver plated brass
coins are kept in circulation until the
plating wears on. when they arc no
longer accepted in the usual line u
trade. II
1t is said, that eounterfeiters IN
Mexico have little difficslty iniplscins
their product In circulation. In many
instances uncovered BY the police and

patrons OF these small stores and
raafk41 DiAces are people Of the lover
class for the most part, and the
rudsst kind of counterfeit coin is ac-
cepted by them without question or
comment
The counterfeiting of bank bills or
stamps has not been attempted in
Mexico for many years. The execu-
ton Of work of this kind requires the
exercise OF kind of skill that the ay-
erage Mexican counterfeiter is not
possessed of. The nearest approach
to this kind of counterfeiting took
place not long ago when many thou
sand dollars worth of fraudulent
street car tickets were made and sold
in Mexico City. These tickets were
engraved and were good limitations of
the originals, but 1t was only a few
days after they were put on the mar
ket before the fraud was discovered
and its perpetrators arrested.

CARVED OFF NOSE
New Haven Barber Breaks Razor Taking
 Revenge on a Collector.

New Haven. Nov. 2O-Because Dom enico Simone had a spite against Phil ip Golia. an agent for a sewing ma chine company from whom he had bought a machine and who was col lecting the purchase price from him by their instailment plan. Domenico took advantage yesterday of his oc- cupation as a barber to take his bad feeling out of his collector through physical violence. Golia came into the barber shop at 592 Grand avenue for a shave and in the course of the shave as result presumably of some re- marks regarding the sewing machine payments. Simone waxed wroth and made a motion to slice the nose from Golia's face. He came down with a fearful slash on the bridge of Golia's nose with so much force indeed that he broke the razor. Needless to say he inflicted a very painful wound on Golia's nose and might very easily have done very serious damage Si- none ran away, but was caught last night by Patrolman Lyons and is held at present under a charge of breach of the peace.
