CATCH 41O COUNTERFEITERs
That's the Number Uncle Sans Se-
cret Service Seuths Captured
Last Year.

According to the annual seport of
John E. Wilkie, chief of the Govern
ment Secret Ser ice. it has been a
busy year for the operatives who de-
vote their time to chasing counterfeit
ers. His figures show that 410 were
rounded up in various parts of the
country and 21S of them have been
convicted The others are yet to be
tried
One or the most notable arrests of
the year was that of Harry Porter, the
famous Denver Dollar Man" 1t took
nearly four years to run Porter to bay.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of the report of Chief WiIkie is
his statistics on the nationality of
counterfeiters. OF the AIS crooks his
record shows that 28l are native
Americans. Italy holdssecond place
with seventy-five. then comes Russia
with thirteen and Austria Hungary
with the same number, Germany and
two, while Ireland. England, Scotland.
Bohemia and France each have one
Chief Wilkie considers the greatest
piece of work of the department dur
ing the year was the nipping in the
bud of the plans of 'counterfeiters to
Unload millions in Mexican currency
in this country Next In Importance
he considers the arrest and conviction
of the BLACK Hand artists in New
York This was one of the moot dan
gerous gangs the country ever has
known.
Wilkie has spent much of his time
reIadjusting affairs in the customs
service, as in addition to being head
of the secret service he is now head
of the customs agents and is trying to
put that service on a firm basis. He
has brought order out of chaos in the
