COUNTERFEITERS NABBED in
San FRANCISCO.
Federal Authorities Claim This viii Be
Very Important Capture Doors
Battered Down to Gain Admittance
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-
lions.
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
compelled to batter an entrance will
axes. While they were smashing il
the doors one member of the gang es
capped, making his way down a cliff
on whose brink the hut stands. Tht
three men gave their names as Miehae
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 ar
important captures.
After securing their prisoners tn,
officers examined the plant, which
filed the little hut, and were astoundet
at the complete mechanical excellenc
of the machinery. It was a miniature
mint. They found almost perfect die
for every coin from ten cents to te
dollars, and lathes, saws, stamps an
other accessories of the finest workman
ship.
Stamps Same as in MINIS.
The stamps are said TO be of almos
the same pattern as those used in tn
United States mints. The larges
stamp was so massive that it could no
be carried into the federal building
It is too powerful for hand operatio
and probably fearing the noise of

had devised and installed a compl

and graduated weights applied by

were found, the raid having bee
timed just before the plant was
have been placed in operation.
It is said the clue to the counte
feiters began with the purchase of tn
big stamp and has been followed fC
months. They refuse to say, howeve
where the stamp was bought.
"Coins from dies identical with thof
we have here now," said one of tt
officers, "are now in circulation in tt
east and may have been made with tn
machine. It is probable, however, tn;
the gang is part of countrywide o
ganization.

Part of the provocation for the hos

the chancellor's unusual course in ad

which has never obtained before il

Liberal Maiority Rednced.


The results of the polling tend to
confirm the forecast that the liberals
win retain control of the government
with a greatly reduced majority. The
unionists have gained an encouraging
number of seats, although less than 20
which they expected to take away from
the liberals out of the IA balloted for.
The popular vote goes strongly
against the liberals. The members of
that party who hold seats won them in
this election by majorities ranging from
80 to 60 per cent below their majorities
in 1906.
Manchester and Birmingham give
heavy unionist gains. Birmingham has
been strongly conservative, the result
of Joseph Chamberlain s crusade for
protection. The unionists carried the
| city solidly by increased majorities,
nearly 5000 larger than in 1906. In
Manchester the unionists increased their
votes, for while the liberals still have
five of the six seats, the liberals ma
jorities were decreased nearly 5000.
The most sweeping change in Lon
don was in Fulham borough, where the
middle class population went enthu

THE CAMPAIGN OF TRAFALGAR By Julian
s. Corbett LII. M With charts and diagrams
Svo, PIP. xvi, AS Lonsmans, Green & Co
The naval battle of Trafalgar has been de-
scribed innumerabIe times but the campaign OF
which it was the elimination has received only
scant attention from English historians The
victory achieved one of the purposes of tt,is
campaign. the assurance to England Of her con-
tinued supremacy at and her consequent
safety from attack at home or in her colonies,
but Pitts strategy, in its wider, Continental
scope was defeated by the lightning campaign
of Napoleon that ended at Austerlitz. The Eng
Iish statesman gained for his country what ne
sought to accomplish; he lost the planned re-
suits of the Russo Austrian-En alliance on
land which was to have crushed the Corsican.
Napoleon forcstalled him with blaze of his
military genius
It is this wider campaign in all its bearings,
from the Mediterranean to vac1llatnS Prussia,
which Mr. COrbett treats in this book, which IS
packed with information well presented, if
casionaly requiring the closest reading where
naval strategy and tactics concerned. The
point upon which he lays constant stress is that
the campaign of Trafalgar not as is popu-
larIy held, q defensive one against the threat
ened invasion from Boulogne, but an aggressive
one, whose centre was not SO much the Channel

in the other other it was an instructed instinct
that was alive in every centre of direction.
The study Of diplomatic and military and
naval moves leads up, of course to the battle
of Trafalgar. Mr.. Corbett gives vivid account
of NIlleneuVe's descent upon the West Indies
his difficulties there, his return to home waters
and Nelson's pursuit. He devotes some We'll de-
served space to the exploits of the young French
admiral Allemand. romantic a record of abil-
ity and good luck as find in the history
Of naval warfare, and he turns as matter of
course, to the question whether Nelson fought
his great battle on the plan originally LAID oG1
by him or not But the campaign OF Trafalgar
in its larger aspect did not end with the naval
victory; 1t ended with the defeat of its ultimate
object at Austerlitz. 1t gave England the I'M
disputed dominion of the sea. but it left Ma
poieon the dictator of the Continent. The vic
tory brought the dying Pitt but small comfort
and he departed this life believing himself de-
feated. So barren was the triumph that the
English people were driven for consolation to an
exaggeration of the invasion legend in order
to forget. if it ever really understood EngIand's
Continental defeat. Pitt died among the ruins
of the coalition he had planned He had frus-
trated Napoleon's attempt to control the Medi-
terranean, he had safeguarded India by taking
possession of the Cape, he had destroyed French
naval power beyond the ability of striking Eng

as the Mediterranean. Nelson is, therefore, not
the principal hero of the book, that roe belong
ing to Pitt. Napoleon is of more Importance
in it's scope than is Villeneuve, while finally
the author places on historical pedestal Lord
Barham, First Lord of the Admiralty, director of
the naval campaign, to whom British historians
have thus far done little justice. at best and
oftener, according to Mr. Corbett, fragrant in
justice. Barham had begun his naval career
Charles Middleton in the middle of the eigt-
teenth century, and in his eightieth year
when he succeeded Lord Melville at a critical
moment in the Parliamentary and naval affairs
of the nation. for Melville's fall was due to
financial irregularities in the navy, and Vile
neuve had succeeded in slipping out of Toulon
with his fleet, and at large, knew
where, or whittier bound.
Mr. Corbett presents abundant evidence to
support his contention that this octogenarian,
Barham, who had rendered brilliant service
throughout his long career, Intellectually
still at the height of his power that his famil-
iarty with the fighting traditions of the British
navy was unriyalled that his knowledge of its
administration was thorough, and that from
the moment he took office, his firm, mastery
hand is traceable in the direction of the fleets.
The higher direction of the war was this mans
uninterrupted work. says the author. In the
truest he the real director of the
naval war Side by side with the ability of
Barham, Nelson and Corvallis Mr.. Corbett
