PLOT
DISCOVERED
Secret Service Finds $500
SIS Bogus Bills on Ital-
ian Engineer.

Washington, D. c., Dec. S.-A
counterfeiting plat extending over
two continents has been discovered
by the secret service. The climax
of several months detective work
came yesterday when Chief Wilkes
men arrested Cesare Paoletti, as he
stepped from the steamer Italian in
New York.
The report to Acting Chief Moran
says the secret service men found
on Paoletti $500 S. national bank
notes, counterfeits on the 'Mechan-
les and Metal National Bank of New
York" The counterfeits had been
made in Italy by a gang whom the
American authorities have often
called to the attention of the Italian
government without avail. Paoletti
worked in the engine room of the
steamer and the secret service men
say he has been bringing bad notes
to New York for several months.

PUBLIC Walks ESQ
MILES FOR 75C
Location of Letter Drop in
Postofice Works Hard
ship on Patrons.

It is estimated that the people of
Weantchee are compelled to walk
forty miles every day in order to
save the post office employees from
walking two thousand feet.
The letter drop is located in the
extreme rear of the room. When
asked for the reason of placing it in
the most inconvenient spot in the of
flee, so far as the public is concerned,
the Daily World reporter was told
that it would be inconvenient for
employees to gather mail from the
front of the office.
The distance from the front en-
trance to the rear where the drop
is located is about 100 feet. If there
are 1900 people who come each day
to deposit outgoing mail, they are
compelled to walk 200 feet greater
distance than if the letter drop were
placed near the front entrance. Their
combined travel foots up total dis
lance OF 20 miles walked by the pub
lie each day.
If an employe walked from the
rear Of the office to the front ten
times a day in order to gather mail
from a letter drop placed there. his
extra steps would cover 1000 feet,
To walk that distance he would use
up about five minutes of time and
would save the public not less than
ten hours of weary travel.
Counting the salary of an employe
who would perform such a task at
fifteen dollars a week, it would cost
the government seventy cents per
week to save the people of Wenat-
chez from walking ESQ miles during
the same amount of time.

be acted on by the house committee
on agriculture to which they have
been referred until after the holi-
days at least and perhaps not at all
according to the present indications,
The committee cannot see why the
report was referred to them except
for the conservation question in

ports should have been left on the
speakers table instead of having
been referred TO any standing COM
mittee.
The democrats and Madison, in
surgent republican. are fighting on
what action to take. After the pre-
scribed seven days have elapsed af-
ter which the rule from the commit
tee on rules will be in order, the
democrats will have recourses tC

may bring up the question Of speech

ILLINOIS IN PRIME
CONDITION
Football Eleven From Oak
Park School in Strict
Training.

Chicago, Dec. S.-"Beat the best
the far west can offer on prep
gridiron." is the slogan at the Oak
Park high school, of Chicago. Tho
champions of Cook county, and pro-
badly the best high school eleven in
this section, are sticking grimly to
the daily training grind to keep in
top-notch condition for the trip that
is planned for the holidays. Just
where games will be played and when
they will be played is still unsettled
but distance can raise no bars to the
aspiring globe trotting youths.
One thing is so far certainty and
that is the Christmas day attraction
to be played at Denver. The oppo-
nents of the local props will be either
team representing the title holders
OF the Rocky Mountain district of the
Champions of Denver. This date is
certainty and outside of few mi
nor details the arrangements have
been completed.
With the Colorado metropolis date
fixture plans are being laid which
will carry the team through to the
Pacific coast. Tacoma is being per-
sistentIy mentioned and the promot-
ers of the jaunt are now making an
effort to arouse a bit of enthusiasm
among the merchants of the thriving
Washington metropolis. The journey
to the far Puget Sound country has
been receiving a great amount OF
publicity here and if the prep eleven
is successful in completing arrange
ments for a game it will bring about
the longest trip ever enjoyed by a
high school eleven anywhere in the
country. This is not excepting the
journey to Seated in 1907.
Salt Lake City and Kansas City
are also slated for games and 1t is
probable that one of these two places
will be visited. The Utah eommun-
ity had almost agreed upon date
when it occurred that snow might
interfere with the play and for this
reason there has been hitch in the
deal. There is hope, however, of set
Ting upon something definite before
long and the west will be assured
of seeing in action one of the best
elevens q Chicago high school has
turned out in recent years,
