MAKING BAD MONEY.
Secret Service Unearths Bold Coun-
terfeiting Scheme.


terfelting Scheme.
A Washington dispatch saysi
The secret service has unearthed
what appears to be a bold and ex-
tensive attempt at counterfeiting ma
tional bank notes.
1t Is intimated the country may be
flooded with them. Notes Of the
same denomination and issue were
found on the Pasadena, Cal, national
Bank issued on the First National
Bank Of Willlamsport, Pa.
Chief Willkie Is convinced that all
the bills are being made by the same
gang and has rushed orders by tele-
graph to every secret service man in
the country to spread the dagnets
National bank notes in every city
viii be examined Immediately by Sc
oret service men to determine how ex-
tensive the issue has been. The fact
that the first was made on a bank in
the west and appeared simultaneously
with another on q bank in the east,
convinced Chief Wilkie that the plans
Of the counterfeiters have been we'll,
laid and that the extent of their RAM
iflcations is problematical. The char
acter Of the engraving on the notes
teatjf1es that they have a complete
plant.
The Williamsport counterfeit is OF
a higher degree of perfection than
those on the Pasadena bank, which
were pronounced by the secret service
men to be the best they had seen in
recent years.

Many Lives Reported Lost and Yes
sells Driven Ashore.
Many lives are reported lost in tel
rife gales which have dashed the
North sea, hurting several wrecks on
the coast, says a London dispatch.
The steamer Welcome foundered in
the gale off Cromer. The engineers
were drowned and several stokers
were reported missing, The others
on board were saved after long
fight against the sea. Dispatches to
mercantile marine agencies reported
that several other vessels, most OF
them fishing craft, are believed to
have been lost.
Life saving stations at a number OF
points along the coast reported res,
cues. Disabled ships drifting helpless
before the gale were also reported,
The tempest was one of high wind
and driving rain and at points along
the coast the beaches were strewn
with wreckage.
CIomer is known in marine circles
as dangerous place. Treacherous
tides and currents run off the prom
ontories at that point and the sea
beats with terrific force against the
great sea wall.

had been in i'll health for several

MANY SAILORS
LOSE Their LIVES
Forty Perish by Capsizing Of
a Crowded Barge.


Large Barge Filled With tackles Re-
turning TO the 5atteshlp New
Hampshire From Shore Leave Cap
sized In New York Harbor.
There was given out from the bat
tleship New Hampshire Sunday list
of twenty-n!ne men who were suppos-
ed to nave persisted by the swapping
Of a barge or whaleboat which was be-
iig lowed to the vessel at anchor In
the Hudson river Saturday night. APP
pended to the list are the names Of
eleven men who are still absent, but
who were not recognized as having
been In the swamped boat
The generally accepted version of
the cause of the catastrophe was that
the barge, heavily loaded with sailors
and marines, returning from shore
leave, was towed into the heavy swels
Of a passing steamboat. Rising for
a moment, like cork, the barge then
plunged into the trough between two
wnves, one of which broke over the
side and swamped II.
Instantly the choppy water became
dotted with struggling, shouting men,
intermingled with floating packages,
suitcases and personal belongings
that the men were taking back to the
ship. The whistle Of the little steam
launch that was towing the barge rent
The air with sharp calls for assist
ance.
Few boats were in the vicinity, how
ever, for the river was running high
In white caps, kicked up by the strong
wind. What few there were put quick
ly across the 200 yards that separated
the distressed craft and the shore.
Many of the sailors and marines were
pulled aboard these boats: others held
tightly to the swamped barge. Still
others, unequal to the battle with the
heavy waves. and tide, floated up
stream and disappeared.

Select Henry L. stimson as candi-

A state convention that will go
down in political history as one OF
the most remarkable in the history OF
the democratic party closed at Roches-

chairman of the party's state commit,
tee, and a lthy Washington county
business man, to run on progressive
platform of the widest type.
The platform, framed to cover the
issues which the democratic leaders
believe were inadequately met by the
republican convention at Saratoga,
gained no less attention and approval
than the candidate.
Regarding the platform there was
from the first little or no division OF
opinion.
