SON PLANNED BUSINESS
TO DETECT BAD MONEY
Chief WiIkie Explains Why
Otto r. KIincke Received
Letters.

Chief John E. Willxie of the secret serv-
ice today explained that letters telling
of the organization of "A counterfeit de-
tecting business said to have been re-
ceived from his son. Donald W. wilkie.
by Otto F. klincke, former secret serv-
ice operative, undoubtedly were authentic.
Klincke who recently made charges
against Capt. William j. Flynn, chief of
the New York division OF the secret
service, yesterday was questioned BY
United States Attorney Henry A. Wise
before the grand jury i'm New York.
United States Attorney Wise is invests
eating Klncke's charges at the request
Of the secret service office.
Chief Wilkie said that about q year ago
his son informed him that he had spent ~
considerable sum in postage In an enofe
to establish a counterfeit detecting busi-
ness, but received no replies In response
to his circulars and accordingly gave up
the venture. His plan was To furnish To
merchants and any one else desiring the
service, cards on which were 10 be print
ed full descriptions OF counterfeits winch
had Just made their appearance. lie
planned to get iffbrmatlon regarding the
counterfeits from the Treasury Depart
ment.
Information Free to Public.
Such information, Chief Wilkie stated,
is free TO the public. As soon as the de-
partment is informed of a counterfeit.
hundreds of printed notices of warning
are sent out, and the press throughout
the country is notified. Chief Wilkie stat
ed that there are several companies
the country that make bust
ness of reprintng the information thus
secured In the form of booklets or on
cards and furnishing ii to their clients.
They guarantee to pay the face value or
any counterfeit note not mentioned IN
their circulars that Is passed on any or
their clients.
Sucn companies send out both weekly
and monthly booklets containing deserip-
lions of counterfeits. and often send out
daily notices should any be received from
the Treasury Department.
Chief Wilkie said that he did not know
his son contemplated starting such
business until he had made the attempt
and had been unsuccessful. He said that
had he known of his intentions he would
have advised him to refrain from doing
So Inasmuch as the business was never
in actual operation, Chief Wflkie be-
lieyes that letters from his son to klincka
will have no weight In the investigation
now being conducted by the federal grand
jury in New York.

Gompers Refutes Report.

President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation Of Labor today de-
nounced as absolutely without foundation
the statements reported as made yester-
day at Los Angeles by Bert Franklin. on
trial there for jury bribing in connection
with the Mcnamara case, in which
Franklin apparently tried to connect
President Gompers with the jury bribery.
Franklin. I'm response to quest ons by
Assistant District Attorney Ford. said
that Clarence Darrow. who was the at
torney for the McNamaras. told him the
money used I'm bribing jurymen was
sent by Gompers himself.
President Gompers. in his stateme mt.
said he did not believe Attorney Oar
row ever told Franklin anything OF the
kind.
Expects Darrow's Acquittal.
of the crime with which he Is charged"
said President Gompers land do not
think he will be. In any case 1 do not
believe barrow ever told Franklin or
anybody else that money had been sent
to him with which to bribe jurymen.
Neither do believe he ever told
Franklin or anybody else that he had
received sums of money direct from
me- because he knows that the money
for the Mcnamara defense did not
come from me. l never handled a dol
lar OF that fund: no part of II ever was
in my custody. If Franklin or anybody
else says that l ever sent a dollar tn
Los Angeles to be used for bribing
jurymen he says what Is absolutely
false"

Senator Sutherland's Address.

Senator Sutherland gave compre-
hensive resume OF the features of the
compensation act this morning, and 1t
was following his address that ii was
suggested that an Endorsement of the
bill would be in order.
Workmen compensation acts have
been in operation in European countries,
said the senator, for many years and it
seems there has not been an instance
where the employees wanted change
back to the old system of employers
liability. There has been some OPPOSE
ton to the proposed measure in this
country. but strange as 1t may seem all
of the opposition has been from employees
in states that have not investigated the
matter at all. No opposition has come
from the many states which now have
acts similar to II.
1.-THE railroads of the country now pay
out $1O.O>5NO annually in personal in
jury cases, and about one-half of this
amount is wasted through fees to at or
neys and to witnesses.
THE proposed compensation act says
that a certain amount shall be paid 10
an injured empoye and will eliminate
the worry and litigations.

Chicago and Baltimore

THE country is, in our opinion, to be warmly congratulated
on the work of the two conventions, that at Chicago. and that
at Baltimore. In their rejoicing over the nomination of Gov
ernor Wilson people ought not to foget that at Chicago represen-
tative government was maintained in its integrity as against as
dangerous an assault as is ever likely to be made on it. As a
result the institutions established by the fathers, under which we
have lived happily and securely for more than a hundred years,
were greatly strengthened. The value of the service rendered
by our Republican friends in this respect cannot be over-estimat-
ed.
Now we have at the hands of the Baltimore convention the
nomination of a man Of the cleanest character, of marked ability
Of absolute honesty, and of nnwavering courage.
FL Woodrow Wilson is a representative of the best type of our
citizenship, and a progressive who has met fairly every real
test to which he has been subjected. He was by all odds the
strongest candidate before the convention. Governor Wilson
was chosen, not only without the help Of the interests o their
political managers, but over their desperate opposition, Murphy,
Tammany, Hearst and Ryan who fought him to the last. The
candidate, therefore, owes nothing to those Misunderstanding
to any influences that would swerve him from the path of duty.
Indianapolis News.
COLONEL Harvey Of Harpers Weekly, has announced his
support of Governor Wilson. It's effect is doubtful. When the
Colonel first boosted him Wilson stated that his support was
more harmful than beneficial. This, with a refusal to take trac-
ton money, caused the Colonel to bolt on Wilson and he was
nominated. Between Watterson and Harvey both coming in
line and the New Jersey man establishing the fact that he was
right, the crow-eating must have been quite a feast in the Wat
terson-Harvey camp.

Stepping Along

THE work of the Interstate Commerce Commission in reg
ulating the express companies, is a step along the line of pro-
gress. For the past generation the express companies have
held the people up by their heels and the dividends declared
have been beyond all reason. The proposed parcels post was
originated to fight the express companies and to put Uncle Sam
in competition, as it does throug gin the letter and small mail.
With the trimming started in the express companies and
the eventual possibility of a parcas post, there is yet hope that
the day will come when one does not guess how much he will be
soaked by the company but will know that the express charges
do not exceed the value of the matter received.
While n o one hears any protest against this reduction, eX-
cept from the corporations, yet there are some who cannot figure
money in their pockets by parcels post, which would do the same
thing as the express companies and at a less cost. Between
trimmed rates o the railroads of freight and better rates
through the express offices there is yet some chance to compen-
safe for the higher cost of living.

No Back Off

FOR a time the Republicans had a fond belief that .Roose-
welt would back off the political board and eventually drop his
candidacy for the Presidency. In this the party leaders have
met disappointment. The Colonel has definitely announced that
there will be no backward step, that he is in the fight to the
finish and that the Progressive party is not for to-day but for
all time. There is no side-stepping on his part. He goes after
the oldline leaders rough shod and will commence on his cam
paign for election within a few days. 1t is the rock that has
split the ship.
The attempt to have Taft withdraw was a foolish political
move. 1t merely weakened his condition and there was never
any likelihood of even serious thought on his part of such a
move. Taft, like the Colonel, is in this fight to the finish and
the division Of the party is growing broader as the days ap-
proach election. No fusion is possible.
