Tribute to McAdams

Mir. Foster was reticent about his own work, as are all the secret service men, but talked interestingly of the secret
 service In general, incidentally paying a fine tribute to Capt. E. P. McAdams, who is in charge of the local secret service office.
 MT. McAdams came to Birmingham about 12 years ago, believe" said MT. Foster "and at that time this district had an almost national reputation for counterfeiters. At present there are few and the district of northern Alabama Is about as clean as any in the United States We have the most trouble with counterfeiters in the east, principally in the large cities.
 And all kinds and classes of people are gathered fin the drag net of the gov ernment. It is a mistaken idea to think that all scounterfeiters are professional kcrooks I have known doctors. lawyers and even ministers to be caught in the tells. And once counterfeiter always a counterfeiter. They never quit, no mat ter how often they get caught The rec ord for convictions of one man for the department think is Il. There seems to be fascination about it that lures and holds. I guess it must be the making of money without labor.
 But no one ever got rich at counterfeit
 Ing. man may run along for time,
 perhaps year or more, but sooner or later, as sure as fate. a man with a United States badge will tap him on the back and tell him he is wanted by Uncle Sam.

High Percentage of Convictions

High Percentage of Convictions
 "The highest number of arrests for a single year, I believe was 963, and nine tenths of those were convicted. That year the government contiscated counter felt bills with values at s115000 with $75,- coo worth of coins. The apparatus cap tured was worth at least $100,000 so you can see the magnitude of the work
 Coins are much more easily counter feited than bils but there Is less money fin it. The highest counterfeit coin that can be made is a double eagle valued at $20, while commercials In bills run very high. The Monroe gang were making hundred dollar bills,
 ''Yes, that's the way the secret service names the gangs, by the head on the bills that they work. And the work of a gang or single person bears an indelible stamp that can be told at a glance by an expert. That Is how we caught the Mon roe head gang the second time. They were using the money to pay their ex- penses in fighting the government and as soon as we caught sight of the bills we knew they were making them.
 Yes, my work is very interesting, if you think of 1t that way. To me 1t is a business We get some odd coins and bills and the stories that cling to them are interesting We used to have a mu- scum connected with the department in which were exhibited clever counterfeits and the things used by counterfeiters in making money. but Chief Wilkie ordered 1t torn out because 1t was having a bad effect on the youngsters of Washington. The museum was crowded daily with boys who appeared very much interested in the work and asked all kinds of ques- tions After observing this for a short time Chief Wilkie decided that the ex- hibit was having a bad effect and or dered ii removed.
 "There is more esprit de corps In the se- cret service. I think, than in any other body of men in the world. Operatives are always ready to help one another and there Is nothing too hard for them to do to oblige a comrade. And if a man is on a big case and needs a little help all he has to do is to send wire to Wash ington and he gets 1t and gets it right now
 q have been in the secret service for the past 15 years and the longer I stay in 1t the more I am impressed with the patience of the government and the surety of conviction of counterfeiters No man ever got rich at counterfeiting.
 'It is a good game to let alone.'
