new S. COUNTERFEIT APPEARS
SPURIOUS CERTIFICATE so PER-
Feet AS TO DECEIVE EXPERTS.
Regarded as Most Dangerous Imita-
ton of American Currency
Since 1898.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Alarm seized
officials of the United States treasury
upon the discovery of a remarkable
counterfeit S. silver certificate, the
most dangerous imitation of Ameri-
can currency since the famous Mon
roe head" 500 bill was suppressed
in 1898.
So nearly perfect is this spurious
note that officials of the cash room of
the treasury declared it was genuine
and unswervingly held to their belief
that it was a washed note. Herman
Moran, assistant chief of the United
States secret service, detected slight
variations from the original, however,
and stamped it unqualifiedly as a
counterfeit.
The note is so dangerous that it was
brought to the personal attention of
SECRETARY MacVeagh and Robert o.
Bailey, assistant secretary of the treas
ury. In the case of the Monroe
head" bill the whole issue was with
drawn from circulation because of the
dangerous imitation. 1t will hardly be
w ISoo1 ~ Illlo pa SNdu-
ton in connection with the new count
erfeit because the SIS Indian head
silver certificate is so generally in
circulation.
The counterfeit was discovered in
New York City where two specimens
were obtained by the secret service.
Treasury officials have Undertaken to
investigate the extent of it's circula-
ton, which as yet is unknown.
Widespread warnings to the public
were issued yesterday by w. J. Flynn,
chief of the secret service.
THE general appearance of this
counterfeit" says Chief Flynn's no
tice, lis calculated to deceive ever
careful handlers of money"
The imperfections of the note are
detachable only to the eye of an ex
pert with the aid of a glass. Appar
emily it is printed on two pieces of pa
per between which silk threads have
been distributed. The number of the
specimen which reached secret service
headquarters is E69421159.

and suspended sentences were inn
posed upon the ~thirty-eight labor union
officials convicted in the dynamite
conspiracy cases.
Judge Reads Statement.
Judge Anderson, after the sentences,
read from the bench a statement in
which he said: ''The evidence shows
some of the defendants to be guilty
of murder, but as they are not charged
here with hat crime this court can
not punish them for it."
Frank M. Ryan, president Of the
Iron Workers International union,
was given a sentence of seven years.
Olaf A. Tveitmoe, of San Francisco,
convicted on charges of aiding in plot
ting the destruction of the Los Ang-
eles Times building, and Eugene A.
Clancy, also of San Francisco, were
given six years each. Herbert S.
Hockin received six years.
Taken to Prison.
All the prisoners who received
prison terms were taken to Leaven-
worth, Kan, at once.
A remarkable scene in the struggle
of the wives of the prisoners to reach
their husbands attended the sentences.
1t was ordered that all the spectators
should be cleared from the room and
the prisoners be allowed to talk with
the members of their families.
Some of the men made pleas for
mercy, others wept in the arms of
their wives. The court, however, pro-
nounced the sentences one by one, re-
CARELESS of the pleas.
Six men were given their liberty
through suspended sentences. These
included Edward Clark, of Cincinnati,

another confessed dynamiter, was not
sentenced at this time.
In several cases sentences of one
year and n day were imposed SC
that these men might be confined in a
federal prison. Prisoners with terms
of less than one year are kept in
county jails.
Federal Judge Albert B. Anderson
had many of the prisoners whom he
said he considered less guilty than the
rest, brought before him to make
statements. For an hour and a hall
the judge in a conversational way
talking with prisoners, asking them
whether they believed in byzantine
as a method of promoting a strike. AL
of the men professed innocence.

interrupted by the court.
Arrangements for taking the prison
ers to Leavenworth on a special trair
already have been made.
The entire proceedings in court, as

two hours.
Before Judge Anderson passed sen
tence he said he desired to read c
statement, He then reviewed the his
tory of the dynamite conspiracy as
well as the evidence introduced.

TURK DELEGATES
SEEK MEDIATION
eEllEVE GREAT POWERS WILL
OFFER BEST SOLUTION OF
DIFFICULTY.
REFUSAL ARoUsEs IRE.
Allies Want Proposal in Writing
Balkan ENJOYS Plan to
Present Ultimatum
to Porte.

London, Dec. 31.-The Times pub
fishes the following dispatch from
Belgrade:
1T is reported that the ministry
of war has received a telegram stat
ing that Scutari has fallen to a Serv-
ian attack"
A naval battle between Turkish and
Greek forces occurred off the island
OF Tenedos, in which the Greeks suf-
fered severe losses according to a
news agency dispatch received here
from Constantinople.
Turkey Shows Hand.
After a fortnight of sparring and
feinting Turkey has finally shown her
hand in the peace conference.
Mediation by the great powers is
the Ottoman scheme for emerging
from the war with the best face for
the nation and for the plenipoten-
tiaries which the situation will per-
nit. The Turkish delegates proposed
this solution in diplomatic guarded
terms at yesterdays session.
The meeting vas brief and more
strained than any which preceded it,
and the Turkish tactics we're charac-
t~eristic. The delegation had received
fresh instructions from the porte, Re-
chad Pasha announced, but part of
the telegram was undecipherable and
must be repeated to Constantinople
for translation.
Refers 1t To Powers.
Then Rechad Pasha came to the
point, to which the Ottomans had
been leading up since the beginning,
in the opinion of their opponents. He
declared that he was able to state
that most of the questions under dis
cussion should be referred to the pow
ers. The boundary between Bulgaria
and Turkey was an exception; that
was a matter, ne said, for direct set
Element between the two governments.
Then the Turkish delegates attempt
ed to discuss the questions at issue
informally, but the allies insisted that
they should put their propositions in
writing, which, after a conference, the
Turks said they were not prepared to
do.
Allies Propose Ultimatum.
The allies propose to bring affairs
to a crisis by a statement in the ma
ture of an ultimatum at the next ses-
sion of the conference, on Wednesday.
They express the determination not
to waste more time in waiting for tele-
graphic consultations, real or pretend
ed, between Constantinople and the
Turkish delegates in London, and will
meet at an early hour tomorrow to
decide upon their policy.
Mediation has two advantages from
the Turkish viewpoint. First the ten,
dency of such an arrangement always
is in the direction of a compromise.
In the second place mediation would
ave the Turkish governments prestige
in the eyes of the people by making
it appear that Turkey comedies the
sacrifices, which she inevitably must
make to the pressure of all Europe,
instead of at the dictatlon of the here
tofore despised Balkan states.
