TWO KIDS MADE
PH0NEY MONEY

PITTSBURG, Penn, Jan ls.-Two
young men. still within school age,
were arrested here today charged with
counterfeitng. They had about $780,
600 in bogus bills on hand. and a
complete equipment for manufacturing
spurious money. Had the youths been
able to pass the money, their for
tune would have been swift and sure.
However, it was the occasional passing

arrest. AS usual, the stuff was not
SO hard to make as to pass off on
the unsuspeCting. Soon as bogus mon
ey was reported to be in circulation
in Pittsburg, the secret service men
got busy and ran it to its source in
a small frame house in the suburbs
where the boys had their quarters.
The bill showed considerable genius
on the part of the makers, but was
not we'll enough done to pass any

were perfect enough. hut the incorrect

HAM LEWIS THE
TALK OF LUNNON

LONDON, Eng, Jan. is. James
Illinois, is the street sensation of Lon
don at present The English are awed,
charmed and then tickled at sight of
his brilliant, reddish beard which
spreads out over his breast like a
great bush, and at the var-colored
clothes that he wears. The street
chins who do not know of his disni-
fled position at home, consider him a
very funny looking person whom they
take delight in following.
Lewis has been notified to get him
self back to Washington and attend
to his country's business, but so far
has shown no disposition to obey.
He is brainy man, an eccentric man,
and very attractive man. When
he went to the coast to practice law
in Seattle, it is said of him that he
worked as longshoreman until his
allen, as practitioner had been
established Always he has been vain
of his wealth of fiery-red beard, most
ly perhaps for the attention it at
tracts to him. Londoners are them
selves given to much oddly in dress,
but Senator Lewis seems to have
aclipsed the vainest of them. He is
sightseeing in England and furnishing
a sight for the English. but his long
absence at a time when his country is
debating grave national problems will
probably put him in the ranks of the
eX-senators at the next election in

The Boston people do not object to

RACE HATRED WORSE IN
AMERICA Than EUROPE

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S-At a Republi-
can party luncheon which was given
here yesterday, Rabbi Schulman and
Or l. Yenasa made a strong plea
for the eradication of the race preju-
dice prevailing in this country. Both
speakers asserted that the race feeling
is stronger right here in America
than 1t is in Europe and stated that
only in Russia is the hatred greater
than il is here In their arguments
the two men showed that race feeling
is only sign of lack of breeding
and narrow mindedness They show
ed that the Jews and the Japanese
were the best class of people and are
among the most progressive in the
world, and are doing much toward
The upbuildinG of the United States.

AGAINST PROPOSED Law

provision of the proposed new cold
storage law which provides that no
meats can be held in storage over
two months. The scandinavian Of

so far from the United States it
would be impossible to hold the fish
less than two months and be able TO
place their product in the American
market and gain a ready sale within
the limit allowed by the law, They
assert that the provision is discrimin-
atory and urge that fish be not in
cluded under the classification of
meats.

one had broken into his hangar and
that his monoplane was missing. ON
inquiry he found that several per-

the noise of motor about o'clock
in the morning. Apparently some en-

the machine. In the suburbs of

The Agile Rev. Hill.

Probably the leading critic OF the
Mexican policy of the Administration
is the Rev. j. Wesley Hill, subsidized
minister, who has been on the pay roll
Of the Republican National Committee
during the past several campaigns. Rev.
Hill spoke before the National Associa-
ton Of Piano Merchants Of America in
New York few days ago, and he took
advantage OF the occasion to make an
attack on President Wilson. The New
York Times said his hearers resented
his remarks" and that his voice was
drowned by the singing Of the Star
Spangled Banner" and cheers for Will
son.
IL the Rev. Hill does not take care
his services may not be in such great
demand at the Republican National
Headquarters this year.
