Sam Ststson, an snsravsr, were kept
busily at work getting out the plates.
III a They had some new trick that they
were experimenting on for long
while, and. after . lot q failures,
they found what they were after.
Plates wsre made for the bills Of .
dozen or moro banks, and Forbes,
who was Q good Judge. said that they
were the finest plates ever used to
stamp bogus money, Peters was
very reticent about the way the plates
were made. and, - e was none of
our business, We didn't care. Taken 1t
the very worst, Peters was only q
halfhearted crook. He came Of q
very good family In Georgia,
When the plates were about done
I went with Forbes and got three
presses, which he had sent to . VI.
cant store In Harlem, and, removed
them ourselves to the ranch In Fiat
bush 20 no questions would be asked.
The only delay We met with was in
getting paper similar to that used by
the government. I tried to make con-
nectfon with several big firms in
Massachusetts,. but they were all dead
leary about going into tho scheme, al
though we offered them big money.
Forbes and finally took trip to
England and found . paper manu-
factuter who was willing to make the
paper. He knew what we were after
without being told and charged price
for his work that was highway rob-
berry. But We had to get the goods
ct any price and gladly paid him his
figures. We got the paper through
the custom house under . false In
voice. with tho aid Of an inspector
who was not above taking money for
favors. and after keeping It In . stor-
age warehouse for several weeks We
sent It to Flatbush. The paper was
40 good as the genuine paper, and It
did not take US long to start the
presses. Stetson was . practical
printer, and fixed the colored inks for
the different plates. Then We all took
a turn at the presses, and fellow
could not help having q thrill Of de-
light 90 the piles Of beautiful bills
were stacked up I'm the cellar.
we kept the presses moving until
We had about 100000 In money.
After all the bills had been rejected
that showed any defects, the good
ones were aged by q colored auid. We
were now ready for the real business
to begin. A careful comparison Of the
counterfeits with q magnifying glass
did not show the slightest difference
from the genuine. SO confident was
Forbes Of the money that We sent one
Of the bills to bank to have its gen
uiceness tested. It came back all
right.
Instead Of trying to push the queer
In small lots, as 10 coD.monly done
by showers. We divided the money
Into five parts. and the members Of
the gang took equal share and went
respectively to New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago. and st. Louis.
Then we put out the money In govern
ment and railroad bonds OF the gilt
edged sort. and got rid Of ill the
money. We made the biggest life on
record. and sold the bonds In London
inside Of month"

NED oRMseY's YARN.

The Forbes gang Of counterfeit
ers," said Ned Ormsby, 'swas without
doubt the greatest gang In their spe-
cialty ever got together. The gang,
as It was at first made up, consisted
Of I'D Forbes. Little Jack Vaughn,
Sam Htetson. Curley Peters and my
set. We were all in the same Georgia
regiment, and enlisted In Atlanta, en-
pectfng to go through until the end
Of the war, which It was considered in
the south would not be very far OF.
I'VE kept banging away with guns
tor a couple Of years and got pretty
sick OF It. The scraps we got into

turned out to be dandy lighters. Be-
sides. there was no money In war, az
It WAS being carried on. Forbes told
% ono day that he was going to quit.
This hit us all just right and we quit
with him.
Il did not know that Forbes had
any purpose in giving up war as q
profession until we got well clear Ct
the lines. We were not deserters, be-
cause we had all served for longer
time than our enlistment called for.
We went on the bum for q few weeks,
and then Forbes gave out the scheme
that he had been studying over for
long time. This was nothing less than
to flood the south with bogus counter.
1eit Confederate notes. He believed
that the south would DO successful
and that we would not have any DIFF.
dculty In rolling In millions Of dollars.
The game looked like q cinch, and we
did set up a stock Of bills represent
ing enough money to buy Q small
state when the Confederates won
their final battle. but the cinch turned
out to be tainted with foolishness. and
We were badly left In the end.
'Our glorious scheme was Knocked
to smithereens when Lee surrendered.
The whole gang went north with q
pretty rgesized stock Of property,
which We disposed Of at good prices.
We came out pretty large winners, but
It made us sick when We thought Of
what It might have been.

course Of our travels. and everything
seemed to be booming. Everybody
had money to burn. and We jumped

Washington.-It is believed certain
that the Borah three-year homestead
bill must be materially amended be-
fore 1t can get out of the House public
lands committee. The secretary OF
the interior and all the bureau heads
of the General Land Office are op-
posed to many of its provisions, and
with this opposition 1t is practically
certain the measure cannot hope to
pass. Secretary Fisher is preparing
amendments to the bill which will be
presented to the House committee.
The House committee on public
lands discussed the bill and other
Western land matters with officials of
the Interior Department and General
Land Office. The officials declared the
Borah bill entirely too liberal and in
definite. The six months leave clause,
Secretary Fisher declared, was so in
definite that under its provisions a
homesteader might prove up on his
claim after less than nine months ac-
tual residence. He wanted definite six
months periods of absence incorporat-
ed in the measure. The secretary was
convinced that his exaction of the cul-
tivat!on of one-eighth of the land dur
ing the first year was too severe, and
told the committee he would consent
to a reasonable modification of that
feature. He has also agreed that set
tiers under reclamation projects
should have title after five years resi-
dence. the deferred water right pay
ments being made lien on the lands.
Senator Guggenheim introduced a
bill to provide an appropriation of $685.
900 to enable the secretary of agricul-
ture TO purchase seeds for distribution
in those sections Of Colorado where,
on account Of the drought Of the last
two years, the crops were failure.
Also a bill to appropriate s3,305,257

rendered by the United States Court
of Claims Feb. 13, 1911, in favor OF

Sherwood Bill Defeated.

Washington. - The Sherwood So
called "dollara-day" pension bill was
rejected by the Senate committee on
pensions, and another measure, which
would involve an annual expenditure
Of s24,O00,0O0, proposed as a substi-
tute by Senator Smoot Of Utah, was
adopted. Senators Brown of Nebraska
and Curtis of Kansas gave notice that
in the Senate they would press the
Sherwood bill as a substitute for the
Smoot bill Senator Shoots estimate
of $24,000.000 as the cost Of his plan
is based on the pension bureaus COM
putation Of age and length of service
of the veterans. The Sherwood bill,
according to the pension bureau,
would have cost about $75,00O,0O0 a
year.

The thermometer is device which in
