POLICE BELIEVE THEY HAVE
LANDED COUNTERFEITERS

A small boy blundered yesterday
and as a result the federal officers be-
ieve they have discovered one of the
most successful counterfeiting gangs
in the West.
Michael Morelli, seven, tried to
pass a spurious half-dollar on Mrs.
Carmelia Cappelella, owner of a
delicatessan store at 1919 Clybourn
av. The woman noticed the coin.
She seized the boy.
A woman rushed in from the street
and beat Mrs. Cappelella off. The lat
ter called a policeman and had the
woman and boy traced.
Federal officers arrived and found
the woman and the boy at 1882 Lar
rabee street. She gave her name as
Mrs. Carlasto Madalene. She is %

Several bogus coins were found in
her possession. Her husband is said
to be working in Morocco, Ind, and
the federal officers will investigate to
find out if he is operating a counter
feiting plant.

held their annual sermon at Union
Congregational church. The Knights
met at their hall on Eighth and Null
berry streets and headed by Enter
prise Juvenile band, marched to
Tenth and Center streets, where they
were met by the ladies and children,
who had assembled in the parlors Of
the church, and marched from there
to the church. The Knights were in
full uniform and the ladies and chill
dren were dressed in white with full
regalia, which made very pleasing
and beautiful line of march. 1t was
the largest turnout of any of the Sc
cret societies this year. The main
auditorium of the church was re-
served for the order, which consisted
Of about 100 little children and 25O
men and women. The balcony and
lecture rooms were reserved for the
visitors, who occupied all Of the seat
ing capacity. Rev. S. Bates preached
a very stirring sermon along the line
of brotherly and sisterly love. which
was truthful and good. An excellent
program was rendered by members
of the order, after which neat col
lection was lifted, and the order re-
turned to their hall with memories of
an afternoon we'll spent, never to be
forgotten.

WHISKY POWDER in EVIDENCE

Wichita, Kan.-Western Kansas il
up against proposition of how to
do away with the whisky powders,
This section of the state is being
flooded with little brown powders,
which, mixed with pint of water
and dash Of alcohol, make drink
which it is almost impossible to dis.
tinguish from regular whisky. a
The chief of police hap been inves.
tigating this new way Of evading the
law for some time. Only a short
time ago he secured 4 quantity Of
powder, mixed one up with some
water and small quantity of alcohol,
and the result was brand of whisky
that could not be detected from ths
bonded stuff. The trouble with stop
ping this kind of whisky making is
that it is so easy to secure the pow
dor. For two dollars a small box Of
the powders can be procured and this
amount will make several gallons OF
whisky. Chief Kensler has always
contended that the bulk of whisky
sold here by the bootleggers has been
made by them and not shipped in, but
it is only recently that he has secured
evidence to bear out his theory.
There Is no doubt that large guam.
tity Of these powders are being ship.
ped into this state, and If the habit
gets prevalent it will practically null
lily the prohibitory laws. Kansas
has already practically failed in en-
forcing its prohibition law and with
this new menace what little enforce
ment there has been accomplished Is
likely to be nullified. ~

problem. 1t will be best for none Of
US to blame our neighbors, whether
they are parents or guardians oI
moral intructors to the boys. Nor i
it due to liquors alone. Some boys
60 wrong who never taste Of liquors.
We knew of one who never took .
drop Of liquor, he was so intent on
being dishonest and stealing. That
was his hobby of despair. Others
follow after bad women and still 9th.

Our appeals to them, our prayers for

does not help them. They still 60
wrong.
Our understanding of such matters
Is still primitive. Some day we may
understand such problems better. II
may be that these young man are
merely diseased. It may be : disease
Of the understanding or of the will
or Of the nervous forces in the human
body. Some day we may be able to
minister to them for these diseases.
Our present way Of dealing with
boys and men who 60 wrong in these
ways is still brutal. We arrest them.
we throw them in "bum" cells, where
they dsteriorate more rapidly than in
the gutter. We take away even the
shades of self-respect in them We
fine them so much and send them, in
default Of payment, to another Jail
that is worse than the first. And we
do this over and over and over until
the poor wretches are worn out and
then we bury them in the potter's
field. # !,
We must confess our methods are
bad and they are bad because we do
not understand their diseases. But
there is no use in US blaming each
other for their shortcomings and for
the faults and their misdoings. All
Of US would do the best we could by
them. 49,

was done, but to no avail. We must
