work. He was the most painstaking
workman / ever knew. but aR he had
worked IN the treasury department he
knew the kind Of game he was up
against, and did not want to make any
mistakes. He made two dies and
threw them away. because they did
not suit him. The money that was
made from these rejected dies would
have passed anywhere except among
experts, but Billy was in the game to
beat experts. In my opinion he had
not his equal in the world as an en-
graver and tool maker.
Billy finally finished his dies. and
then had the parts Of . stamping ma
chine built in different foundries and
machine shops.
It requires a heavy pressure tc
stamp coin, and our machinery was
not quite as weighty as the machine
In the mint, but our SO and $40 coins
were Just as good as any that ever
left the mint, with the exception that
the impression made on the front and
back of the coins was not quite as
heavy as the genuine. After the
stamping the money was put into a
milling machine. to corrugate tho
edges, and an oiled roller. to give the
coin the appearance of age.
The coin, as fast as 1t was made,
was put into kegs, and when we got
enough the kegs were shipped to Eng
land, and after satisfactory arrange
ments had been made upon the other
side. were reshipped to this country
through regular broker. Gold was
at that time selling at premium Of
from $50 to 240. and the kegs Of gold
were consigned to Wells & Co.. reput-
able brokers in this city, to the credit
Of Nathaniel Storms, the represents
tive Of foreign syndicate. There
were any number Of bidders for the
gold when 1t was offered for sale. and
we got rid of the whole lot for about

tonnes may be used for the less I'm

Some Of the materials are partly
covered with birds and butterflies. or
trees yielding roses. peonies or fruit

pastoral effects on cretonnes, much
used for bedroom windows. It Is well
to touch on the necessity Of restraint,
not only in coloring, but in pattern.

With plain carpet and wall paper
a good background can be formed for

DETECTIVE ADAMS STORY.

There never was a Job, said Detec-
tive Adams, worked in this country.
which could match the great gold coin
swindle SO successfully carried out
upon the expert dealers in money in
Wall street. No class of people are
easier to beat than Wall street men.
provided they are met upon their own
stamping ground by fearless men who
deal with them upon an apparently
solid platform.
As / recall 1t, the bogus coin dis
posed of was worth, face value, about
100000, and the thieves were kind
enough to go in and get the premium
upon this sum. The Arm which han
died the gold in this city was Wells &
Co., and they were above suspicion.
The coin was sent to them from Frink
& Beaman, an honorable London firm
Of bankers, and every connection
from start to finish had all the marks
of genuine transaction. There was
nothing to arouse suspicion except the
gold itself, and that was not critically
examined at the time. because it had
been shipped in q perfectly regular
manner Inquiry would probably not
have been made into the transaction
for a long time II 1t had not been for
the disappearance Of Nathaniel
Storms, who had completed the tran
saction with Wells & Co., and collect
ed the money for the gold.
Storms came to this country with
the gold and had letters Of introduc-
ton equal to the best certificate OF
character. He represented that he
was the agent of syndicate Of for
eign capitalists who had been quietly
gathering up all the gold they could
get hold Of in Europe at their own ng-
ures, and had got together several mil
lions of dollars which theyVuntended
to put upon the American market to
get the benefit of the large premium.
When Storms collected the money
for the gold. he made an appointment
to meet Wells & Co. the next day
upon a matter of Importance, and he
did not show up. He was stopping at
the old Astor House, and q letter was
sent there by a messenger, who
brought back reply that Storms had
given up his room there ih the morn
ing, before he went to Wells & Co.'s
office. His baggage consisted only of
a handbag, and he took this away
with him. 1t also was learned that
Storms had not stopped at the Astor
House at all. He hired room there
by the week, but never went to 1t, and
only called at the hotel to get his
mail.
Storms had told one Of the members
Of the flrm that he had given a din
ned to some Of his English friends at
the Astor House and related some Of
the stories which were told by his
friends of American life. It was con-
sidered very strange that Storms, who
carried all the marks Of honesty In
his face and speech, should have He'd

A P|C-HEADED PRESIDENT
Trying to Maintain the Useless
Commerce Court

Washington, Aug. 22.-Within ar
hour after President Taft sent back
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill TO Congress yester-
day. with his veto upon Ii for the Sec
ond time. the House had by more than
the necessary two-thirds majority
passed 1t over his veto. The vote was
156 TO SO.
The bill was Immediately sent on &c
the Senate for action. 1t is hardly be-
lieved the Senate will be able TO dupli-
cate the action Of the House and thus
make the hill into a law without the
consent of the president.
The president gave as his explana-
tion OF the veto the fact that the bill
carried with 1t the amendment abol-
ishlng the commerce court. This
amendment and another which limited
the tenure of employees under the civil
service act. caused Mr.. Taft to veto the
bill the first time ii was sent to him
The bill he vetoed yesterday did not
carry the amendment regarding the
civil service.
AS the legislative, executive and
judiciary appropriation measure must
be passed in order to provide funds
for the operation of the various de-
partments of the government, it seems
certain that the two houses of Con-
gress will have to appoint conferees
to agree upon a measure that will get
by the president, This will mean a
partial victory for the president.
