COOKS SECRETARY
ADMITS DISTRUST
Walter Lonsdale, Who Carried Records
to Copenhagen, Has His
Doubts

Copenhagen.-Walt Lonsdale is the
most recent of the former associates and
employees of DR.. Frederick A. Cook to
admit distrust of the man whose
claim to the discovery of the north pole
was rejected by the University of
Copenhagen.
Lonsdale was private secretary to
United States Minister Egan up TO the
time of the arrival here of DIR. Cook,
with whom he then associated himself
in similar confidential capacity.
He accompanied the explorer to the
United States, made the typewritten
duplicate of the polar records and
brought the data here for examina-
ton by the university committee. He
has remained loyal to his employer I'M
til now, when he says he is beginning
to doubt him.
Lonsdale states that he received a
letter from Cook under date of De-
cember "a and mailed from a city in
southern Spain. According to this let
ter Cook was on the sea from Decem-
Der IA to December "a, and therefore
was not acquainted with the decision
of the examining committee when the
letter was written. Since the receipt
of this letter Lonsdale says he has
heard nothing from Cook, though he
has addressed several kilograms to
him at point where he thought the
explorer could be reached.
Lonsdale estimates that Cook cleared
$4,000 from the exploitation of his
arctic reputation.

MADE BOGUS MONEY
C0UNTERFEITERS NABBED In
SAN FRANCISCO.
Federal Authorities Claim This Will Be
Very Important Capture-Doors
Battered Down to Gain Abundance
Plant Located in Shack-One Of
Gang Makes Escape.

San Francisco.-The most complete
and expensive coin counterfiting out
fit that has ever fallen into the hands
of the federal authorities was captured
here by secret service men recently and
with it three men were arrested. The
secret service men admit that the seiz-
ures are of the greatest Importance and
followed months of unremitting eff
fort, with trails leading in many direc-
tions.
The plant was located in a lonely
shack on the rocky summit of Bernal
heights, the highest hill in the city,
and was captured after a spectacular
assault. Secret service operatives
Harry Motif and j.. M. Nye were on
the job and after definitely locating
their quarry they called City Detect
ives Regain and O'Connell to their aid.
On Hands and Knees.
Last night the detectives on watch
in the shrub-covered rocks saw four
of the men they had marked enter the
shack, but the attack was deferred in
the hope that other members of the
gang might come to cover. They were
disappointed in this and late this aft
ernoon Operative Motif decided to
act.
Creeping on hands and knees the
four officers approached the shack and
on signal made a rush, but the house
was well barricaded and they were
onrnnal1aI 10 haitian xrtth
axes. While they were smashing in
the doors one member of the gang es
capped, making his way down cliff
on whose brink the hut stands. The
three men gave their names as Michael
Angelo, Samuel Dicola and Samuel Ar
man. These are probably assumed
names, and there is reason to believe
that at least two Of the prisoners are
important captures.
After securing their prisoners the
officers examined the plant, which
filed the little hut, and were astounded
at the complete mechanical excellence
of the machinery. It was a miniature
mint. They found almost perfect dies
for every coin from ten cents to ten
dollars, and lathes, saws, stamps and
other accessories of the finest workman
ship.
Stamps Same as in MINIS.
The stamps are said to be of almost
the same pattern as those used in the
United States minis. The largest
stamp was so massive that it could not
be carried into the federal building.
1t is too powerful for hand operation
and probably fearing the noise of a
motor or other power engine the gang
had devised and installed a compli-
Gated and ingenious system of levers
and graduated weights applied by a
long steel beam. No coins or metal
were found, the raid having been
timed just before the plant was to
have been placed in operation.
1t is said the clue to the counter
feiters began with the purchase of the
big stamp and has been followed for
months. They refuse to say, however,
where the stamp was bought.
"Coins from dies identical with those
we have here now," said one of the
officers, "are now in circulation in the
east and may have been made with this
machine. 1t is probable, however, that
the gang is part of a countrywide or
ganization."

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

MY mother used to have a very bad
hnmor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for IT l had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did IL no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't yov try
Cudcura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching.
burning and scalding Of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an Old lady
Of seventy-four.
MY own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
