Chemist Discovers No Trace OF

A New x-Ray Photo Definitely Locates
Bullet in a Fracture of the Fourth
Rib About Four Inches
From the Sternum.

DR. Arthur d. Bevan, it was decided
that IL was safe to remove the wound

to anv active part in the Presidential
campaign.
Schranks bullet fractured Mr.
Roosevelt's fourth rib on the r1ght
side. Immediately above which 1t en-

flected by the steel spectacle case
which Roosevelt habitually carries IN
right side pocket, and which was
far more of factor in saving his HE

day night The fractured RIB, II was
explained, had caused Mr.. RooseVeit
pain in his breathing.
BY the first N-ray plate the bullet Is
shown partly imbedded in the fracture
in the fourth rib about four lnches
from the sternum.
The radioeraph shows an eXtraordi'
nary spread and arch to the unln1ured
ribs, indicating the unusual size OF the
ColonePs lungs and development OF

the first definite location of the bullet,

admission the surgeons would make
regarding any such injury was that

Schrapk is sane was announced by

'On the other hand, Schrank is en-

SPURIOUS COIN
HARD TO DETECT
Bankers Wonder II Someone Is
Passing Queer"

Although IL is not uncommon for
bankers Ia discover spurious coin
among the deposits of their patrons
who have taken In the same at face
value, Teller Chris Gribble Of the State
Saving bank last week discovered a
counterfeit dollar which was so good
an imitation of the genuine. that II
AT once gave rise In the suspicion that
someone might be attempting To pass
the queer" here. during the busy holi-
day season. The COIN which bears the
date 1850 and has the worn appear
ance of coin Of that year, CORES
ponds with the genuine coin in the
minutest detail except that IL Is made
Of some other material than silver,
being only silver plated. and is several
grains shy In weight. That the dies
from which IL was cast were prepared
by an expert is evidenced by :he fact
that the most minute mint marks are
to be seen including a small letter M
upside down, at the very bottom of
woman's face. which can scarcely b.
detected on the genuine coin without
the aid of microscope. Each star
is in ITS proper place along the edges
Of the coin and IL is millcd in exactly
the same manner as the genuine It's
ring is such that only an expert could
tel! the difference and Mr.. Gribble
states that ninety nine of every hun
dred persons would accept IL as gen
nine.
The accuracy with which bank tell
ers work is shown by the fact that
Mr.. Grbble. whose suspicious had NOT
been previously aroused, picked the
coin from 1000 silver dollars. After
finding it short weight he applied the
silver test and satisfied himself that
1t was not genuine. In discussing the
incident he stated that he could not
state what had caused him 10 be sus-
picious, unless il was intuition, for
the ring of the coin seemed all right.
The silver plating had worn off slight
ly from the head of the coin and il
had "A slightly greasy appearance.
IL is believed the counterfeit Is
similar to others which were noted in
the upper peninsula several months
ago and which were first detected In
NanistiQue. Counterfeit coins of two
denominations We're noted. silver dol
lars and dimes Several of the latter
have recently been detected at the
State Savings bank. but they are not
as true to the genuine as the dollar.
As a general rule. from twenty tu
thirty spurious coins are detected at
| this bank each year.
