ENGINEER IS HELD
As SCOUNTERFEITER
Adam McLarren Taken Into Gus
tody at Plant of Los An
geIes Brick Company
DOG ON GUARD AS MAN WORKS
Secret Service Man Says He Saw
Suspect Making Coin Over
Gasoline Furnace

Leading the dual existence of en-
gineer and counterfeiter, according 10
the officers who arrested him, and with
a bulldog to guard him, Adam McLar-
rem, alias Jack Cassidy, worked as
night engineer at the plant of the Los
Angeles Brick company and in the early
morning hours toiled beside a gasoline
soldering pot, casting counterfeit coins.
He was arrested at o'clock yesterday
morning, after George w. Hazen, Unit
ed states secret service agent, and
Frank Roberts, a police officer, had
watched him work with his molds and
molten metal for several hours.
For two months many complaints
have been made to the federal officials
about counterfeit halves, quarters and
dimes being circulated. The majority
of these complaints were made by
street railway conductors, who had to
make good to the companies the change
they gave for the counterfeit money.
Hazen and Roberts worked on the
case running down every possible cleW'
Wednesday night the trail led them to
the yards of the Los Angeles Brick
company, where McLarren was en-
ployed as q night engineer.
DOG ON GUARD
The plant is located on the Chavez
ravine road, three blocks west of Col
lege street. When the officers neared
the building a bulldog owned by the
prisoner came toward them, and they
retreated a short distance, not wish
ing to let the dog give the alarm to its
master From their hiding place the
officers saw the watchman working
over a gasoline soldering pot, and from
his actions they felt positive that he
was casting counterfeit coins.
At o'clock in the morning Hazen
and Roberts placed him under arrest.
He steadfastly denied that he had been
engaged in counterfeiting. BY pre-
arranged plan both officers relaxed
their watchfulness, being convinced
that if given a chance~he would rush to
the closet in which he kept his street
clothes and would attempt to take from
his pockets the counterfeit money and
conceal it. AS they expected, McLarren
darted to the closet and was caught in
the act of concealing a purse contain
ing many counterfeit halves, quarters
MOLDS FOUND
The officers discovered his molds and
other paraphernalia concealed above a
brick kiln which has not been in use.
When confronted with this evidence the
prisoner stated that he was only eX-
perimenting. When told by Hazen that
he had experimental well. McLarren
replied that he had always been noted
for doing all things well, and that he
did not think the coins were as good
as he had hoped to make them,
Concealed with his outfit were eX-
tracts from books on alloys, and the
secret service agent, who has handled
thousands of counterfeit coins, declared
yesterday that the money turned out
by McLarren showed that he must be

JAPANESE STEAMER
CARRIES AWAY HINDUS

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 4.-Captain
Ishawaka of the Japanese steamer Ava
rendered himself liable to arrest by
the Canadian authorities on his re-
turn from Japan, when he sailed from
here tonight carrying fifteen Hindus
deported from Seattle, in the face of
an order issued by Judge Lampman,
who granted a writ of habeas corpus
ordering the production in court to-
morrow of the Hindus The Ava was
delayed here two days making repairs
to a steam pipe which burst after the
vessel sailed from Seattle, and the
local Hindus took advantage of the
delay to apply for a writ of habeas
corpus, on the ground that the Hindus
were British subjects and were unlaW

an old-timer at the game Of counter
feiting.
McLarren claims to be 60 years OF
age and stated that he has been all
over the world. He kept a roll of blan-
kets at the brick plant. and during the
day slept on top of a deserted kiln,
while at night he attended to his duties
as engineer. According to the arrest
ing officers, he made coins during his
spare hours, being only employed there
at night.
The prisoner will be taken before a
United states commissioner tomorrow
morning, and as he has not denied
making the counterfeits the officers
believe he will plead guilty. Hazen is
looking up his record, for he is of the
opinion that McLarren has made and
passed counterfeit money in many
