BUSINESS OF SON
EXPLAINED BY Chief
OF SECRET SERVICE
Younger Wilkie Had Same
Information as Is Fur
nished Cashiers.

Donald w. wilkie, son OF John z.
Wtlkie. chief of the Secret Service,
whose business enterprises In New York
have attracted attention IN connection
with the charges made by Otto y.
Elincke against Capt. w. J. Flynn, had
access to only the game information
regarding counterfeits and counterfeit
ers that several hundred cashiers In the
United States have. according to the
statement of Chief wilkIe today.
The younger wilkie attempted to es-
tabiish o news service on counterfeit
ing and agreed to pay the face value Of
an counterfeit presented by A subscrib-
or which had not been described pre-
viousiy In HIS publication,
Il did not know OF this enterprise"
said Chief wiikie, until Donald told
me about II after 1t had been dropped.
The plan never got beyond The letter.
heads. and the mailing Of letters to
prospective customers. It failed, ana
1t was some tine afterward that 1 vas
told OF II.
The Secret Service maintains a pub
LEFTY service on counterfeiting, This
Information Ii sent to cashiers Of banks,
department stores, and institutions
handling large sums OF money. Donald
would have had access to this informa-
ton, just as the others have. We have
not objected to the publication of
counterfeit news sheets. They offer to
redeem counterfeits received by Gus
| toners IL the papr has not been de-
| scribed. This 10 the same offer that
Donald made.
Il want to say, also, that the grand
jury proceedings In New York were be-
gun at the instance Of our New York
office, and not because of newspaper
| demands for an investigation.
| I'VE wanted to get Kiincke to make
| his statements under oath. which he
did not do when talking for publica-
ton"
| Klincke. q former member OF the Se-
cret Service, was before the grand jury
yesterday, and was expected to be re-
called for further examination today.
The news service of the younger
Wilkie was intended to be made more
because of fuller descriptions OF the
peculiarities Of the counterfefted notes:
In getting his plan under way Donald
Wiikie referred to John K. Wilkis and
William J. Burns sreferences printing
their names on one corner Of the sta
tionery. In q second letter he said:

CELEBRATING ONION DAY.

The chamber of commerce. down in San An
ton, is sending out circular letter frankly asking
little publicity for Onion Day, which has been fixed
the thrtieth day of each returning May. The let
ter bears date of the day after the FEAST which is
not an appetizing method Of securing publicity, but
the request is so joyousy and candidly expressed
that we are moved to accede.
The onion usually succeeds in making itself
public without any artificial aid, but il anything Of
the kind needed the scrvener of the San Anton
chamber of commerce would easily supply it. He
pays tribute to the onion which glows like Tur-
ner sunset. He adds that there will yet arise "a
Rubens who will paint the onion field" Since the
gifted Dutch colorist was not ranked among our
leading field painters, this would be much like in
trusting the task to Harrison Fisher, or even Bud"
Perhaps, there has been misprint, and it is q
Reuben, who is, most Htdngly to do the held
painting.
This persiflage, however, is not altogether
worthy Of the great industry which Texas has brought
to a high degree Of perfection We gather from the
chamber OF commerce literature that Bermuda

The following from the Burlington
Hawk-Eye will be of interest in Keo-
kuk and vicinity as considerable in.
terest is being taken in the electric
interurban development in this sec
ton:
There are always busy rumors flying
about in Burlington and elsewhere. A
late one is to the effect that the West
ern Securities Co, CT Chicago, is dick
ering for the public utilities of Bur-
lington now controlled by the Walsh
interests 1t Is one of the stories
which can not be verified but the peo-
pie, who have heard it, are inclined to
believe that there is something in it,.
They state, that the company controls
the public utilities in the Tri-Cities
Davenport. Rock Island and Moline)
and Is now completing an electric line
between Muscatine and Davenport
AS announced in these columns early
last week, the Western Electric Co.
has secured an option on the public
utilities of Fort Madison. And the
fact, that Mr.. Walsh secured this
option for the Western people, lends
color to the belief that the rumor con-
corning Burlington's utilities is not
entirely unfounded. There are people,
who claim to know, that all the pre-
liminaries have been thoroughly dis
cussed, and an arrangement has been
reached and that the papers have been
drawn and are awaiting the signatures
OF the contracting parties.
There is the further rumor or sur
mise, that if the deal is on and is
closed, there will be an early ccnstruc-
ton OF an electric line from Burling-
ton southwark, to Fort Madison and
then farther. Conservative citizens,
/ who had heard the rumor, were in.
clined to the belief that it might prove
a good thing If true. as the big com
pany is said to be progressive and en-
terprising and to have vast means a
tits command The fact that the West
/ ern has secured options on the For
Madison properties and is thus trying
to break into what might be consid
cred Stone & Webster territory, ar
pears significant to some people who
have been discussing the rumor.

that thousands of acres of new trees
