ENCOURAGING TO THE MIDDLE AGED

Perhaps the suggestion that young men are
lazy has come at an oppOrtune moment In what
has frequently been referred TO as a young
mans age TO call halt 10 the somewhat unreal
sonable demand that middle aged men shall step
out to make room for younger ones. While the
demand for young blood is always strong in New
York, because Of the drains made by its nerve
racking life upon the strength OF those who en-
gage in its work, the age limit has been set more
or less definitely In SO many places that Just
now this may be called young mnn's country.
In railroad and many other lines of work il Is
extremely difficult for the man past forty to get
employment, and In some cases there Is a more
or less insistent demand that a man who has
reached such an advanced period OF life as two
score shall make room for the youth of twenty
Under these circumstances, the statement that
young men are lazy is entitled TO some consid-

Di Paolo explained
to his friend, the laborer, that he

The saloonkeeper produced two
of the SIS bills and told him that
when he passed them Mrs. Ricci
would expect half of the $40.
Richey took the bills and later
turned in to Mrs. Ricci SIS. She
was pleased, and asked him If he
did not want more of the counter
felt money. The next day Richey
said he was ready to buy two
more of the bills, and Di Paolo
took him upstairs.

Woman in Counterfeit

Ends; 3 Caught
Thursday, July Is, 1909

CHICAGO, July 15.-After
working on the case four years,
during which time he ingratiated
himself with the alleged culprits,
Secret Service Operative Law
renee Richey accomplished the
arrest of two men and a woman
who were held under $4,000 bonds
each by Commissioner Foote on
charges of counterfeiting So bills.
The man whom the government
Idesignates as the leader of the
gang is in Italy, but the secret
service will be satisfied IL he
keeps out of the country, and they
will have him indicted with that
end in view.
The prisoners are Antoine Di
Paolo, Antonio Vacca and Mrs.
Dominick Ricci. Richey says he
had actual transactions with
them in counterfeiting money
which they sold to him at half
price. The ferreting out of the
gang and the spectacular raid in
a saloon at 1877 Ewing street
reads like the most imaginative
fiction.
In 1905 Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island were flooded with
spurious SIS notes. Dominica Rec
CT was suspected, but the secret
service men were unable to get
sufficient evidence upon which to
base an arrest. While they were
still watching him he disappeared.
Spurious Bills Reach Chicago.
Soon afterward the same coun-
terfeit bills-the Indian head is
sue of 1905-began to appear in
Chicago. Richey was assigned to
tract them to their source. Final
ly he decided to learn If Ricci was
in Chicago and found him operat-
ing saloon at 1877 Ewing street.
CARRIED as laboring man, the de-
tective made Rici's saloon his
idling place. He played cards
with Ricci, his friends and his
wife. He even partook of spa
ghetti with them and was accept
ed as member of their little
circle.
In exchanging condolences Ricci
often would talk of counterfeiting,
going to the extent of admitting
that he had done some money
making of that sort himself. But
he baffled every subtle effort of
Richey to gain sight of some of
the bad bills in which he believed
Ricci was dealing.
Six months ago Ricci went to
Italy, and the secret service men
learned that the object of his
trip was to get model of a note
more suited to his purposes and
plates with which to make the
bills in this country. Up to that

MONEY OF SUICIDE
MYSTERI0USLY
VANISHES

(By United Press Leased Wire. J
LONDON, July 15.-With the
announcement that Frank O'Brien,
brother Of Mrs. Agnes Ruiz, with
whose suicide the name OF a well
known American millionaire was
linked, is here today seeking her
estate; it was learned that Mrs.
Ruiz left money, clothing and
jewels of greater value than was
at first supposed.
O'Brien informed his London
attorney that Antonio Ruiz, faith
er-in-law, gave Mrs. Ruiz 1000
in cash and that this sum was
transferred to her London account.
Since the day that Mrs. Ruiz
shot herself, supposedly because
she was Tilted by her rich Ameri-
can admirer, no trace of the mon
ey, clothing or jewels, beyond her
immediate effects in her apart
ments. has been found.
From investigation it appears
that money and possessions all
vanished simultaneously.
