DODGE LAW
CoUNTERFEITERs UNSAFE IN ALL
 NATIONS.
IJnderstandine Between Different COun- tries Makes Possible Detection of Spurious Coin and Its
 Makers.

Washington, Aug. 23-The arrest of John Roberts in Kentucky on the charge of making counterfeit Mexican national bank notes. is of interest in illustrating the manner in which coun- terfeiters are run down in all nations. In the United States there is a statute making it an offense to make counter felt money of any nation. either of cur rency or bank notes. The offender is tried and punished in this country. The secret service agents of the Treasury Department do not go outside of the United States to run down all legged counterfeiters of American cur rency but in practically every country there is a law similar to that of this country with regard to spurious ma kers of spurious foreign coins. In the event that a counterfeiIer, who has made the illegal money in this country, goes to the country whose currency he has counterfeited, the offender may be extradited by the American authorities if they have evidence of the making Of the imitation coin in this country.
 Owing to the difficulty experienced by counterfeiters in disposing of foreign imitation money in this country, few cases of this kind have been reported Expert money changers. usually detect the imitation money as was the case with Roberts and his brother.
 The secret service officials lR Wash ington received samples yesterday of the bank notes found on Roberts and while confident that the notes are spu- rious, they will submit them to officials of the Mexican government to certify that such is the case.

BALLOON WRECKED
RUSSIAN DIRIGIBLE TORN BY THE
 WIND. v.ns 61fll
Made a Successful Ascent But Is Swept From the Grasp of Men Who
 Held

Paris, Aug. 23-The dirigible balloon built recently by the Bayard-Clement Company for the Russian government was wrecked today near Maisons-Lar- titte during its preliminary trial.
 The aviators aboard including Col onel Mach of the Russian army were not injured.
 The airship made it's ascension suc- cessfully, remained in the air and came down without damage, but while on the ground, violent gust of wind tore the balloon from the grasp of the forty men who were holding it. It was thrown against some trees and tele- graph poles nearby and the gas bag ripped to pieces
 The ship then fell into the river Seine. The four occupants who had stuck to the car during the happenings left the shattered ship and swan for the shore. They were picked up by small boats
 By the terms of the contract with the Russian government this balloon was to have maintained an altitude of $500 to 4.500 feet for one hour.
 Colonel Mach described his experi- ence as follows:
 We made wonderful ascension, at- taining a height of 4.600 feet. This beats the worlds height record for dir igible balloons We remained aloft for over an hour. never coming below 3, 500 feet. Just after tho car had come down it was struck by a gust of wind and wrenched from the hands of the men holding the guide ropes. Our fuel was exhausted and we had practically no control. The balloon came down a second time and was ripped open by contact with trees. It then fell into the water and We swan until We were picked up."
 It is believed that the Bayard- Clem- ent can be repaired.
 The Bayard- Clement dirigible bal loon was built in Paris last fall. It is about 1S0 feet long and has a capacity of $500 cubic metres. The car Is built of steel tubes. The airship is fitted with a steel-covered ensIne house and shelter for the protection of the pas sengers. The motor Is attached to the frame by springs, so as to prevent the vibration from being transmitted to the frame work. The balloon is driven by a wooden propeller about fifteen feet in diameter which has a speed of $50 revolutions a minute.

 bitratiOn.
 Chicago. Aug. 23-Negotiat tions were renewed today between traction of- ficials and representatives of street car employees of the city, in an attempt to avert a threatened strike on the sur face street car lines. Several impor- tant conferences had been planned for the day. The first one of these was a joint conference of railway officials, wage scale committees representing all of the men, President William D. Ma hon. of the International Street Car Mems Union. and Waite L. Fisher, who represents the city in the negoia- tions.
 Nothing was accomplished, however, in the joint conference and the meet ing will continue tomorrow. Heated tits between John M. Roach, president of the Chicago Railway Company and MT. Mahon lent interest to the debate on increased wages for street railway employees of the city.
 The clashes occurred over the pro- posed system of grading employees ad- vanced by the companies and to which the union leader is vigorously opposed The possibility of the controversy being referred to arbitration grew stronger during the day as neither side appeared willing to yield a point

 Standard Oil.


 Washington.

 Indianapolis Ind, Aug. 23.-The Ex- ecutive Committee of the American Au- tomobile Association probably will be called upon to decide the ownership of the big $10,000 Wheeler-S -Schebler tro- phy cup offered for the winner of the 300-mile automobile race at the Indian apolis speedway last Saturday. which was called off in the 235th mile be- cause of the accident resulting in the killing of three men.
 The Jackson Automobile Company to- day entered a claim for the trophy. The Company's report sets out that a Jackson car. Lyttle driving. had a safe lead when the race was stopped and barring further accidents, surely should have won. and that the trophy should have been awarded to Lyttle.

THEATRE MANAGERS MEET.
Southern Men Discuss the "Open Door''
 Policy


 Atlanta, Aug. 23.-Tha managers of all the first class theatres in the South were in session at Atlanta today. The question to be decided is wheth- CT the theatres of the South are to have the "open door, in attractions or whether the so-called syndicate" Is to have exclusive booking rights. Some of the managers are inclined to let the Klaw and Erlanger forces have their way while others favor giving the Shu- berts time. The Klaw and Erlanger people are said to have declared that if the Shu- berts are given chance with attrac- tions, that they, the Klaw and Erlang- CT Company, would not book in the South. The meeting was stormy but no decision was reached. While no authoritative announce ment was made. it Is understood that the proposition of an "open door" pol icy failed to meet the approval of the majority of the representatives. An- other session will be held tomorrow.
