to illustrate the point But the one
which particularly appeals to me ia
that Of John Davis, who recently
| pleaded guilty In New Haven, Conn.
to making plates for counterfeit five
| dollar notes. Davis Is an old offender,
and tho illustrative case which ! have
in mind was one in which he was the
central figure years back. 1t was
known as the Bank of England plot.
Davis had manufactured in London
and had planned there to lay down
counterfeit Bank Of England notes
representing a value In excess Of
100000. His scheme was to have bis
confederates in each of the great
money centers-London, Paris, Der
lin, Vienna, st. Petersburg and New
York. simultaneously exchange the
notes at foreign money exchange bro
kers' Offices.
The workmanship Of the product
was almost perfect. The notes were
the closest imitation to the Bank OF
England notes that have ever been
discovered
Soon everything was In readiness
for the grand unloaiing-except one
thing. The coEspirators had not tried
out the money to learn how readily 1t
might be accepted. Accordingly two
of the men assigned to the New York
end of the plot went over to the State
bank on Grand street and offered
counterfeit notes representing value
Of $3.50. The conspirators erred in
presenting so much foreign money for
exchange at one time to bank in that
neighborhood. The officials of the in.
stitution compared the offered notes
with genuine notes Of the Bank OF
England, but could find no difference.
Still the officials were suspicious, babe
the conspirators wait a few minutes
and called up the secret service office,
which hurried men to the bank.
Inevitable Detail Overlooked.
A close examination of the offered
notes by the government agents
showed the color of the printing to be
true; the color, ply and size OF the
paper to measure accurately with the
Bank Of England requirements, and
the strong main features of the etch-
ing represented in the print were true
to a shading.
Yet, as always, the detail was there
to prove the counterfeit work. The
watermark Of the spurious notes wal
more pronounced than the genuine.
Further, and to me more wonderful
still, tiny guard, carefully placed on
the genuine note, was lacking In the
counterfeit. 1t was a little thorn
shaped protuberance extending from a
certain letter in the word denominat-
ing the value of the note. The tiny
little sentinel could be observed only
with the aid of a fine magnlfying
glass. 1t would be found only acct
dentally except by one knowing ex-
actly where to look for 1t.
The New York members of the con-
sDracy were arrested, but released
when they stood on the assertion
that they had found the notes in the
street.
However, that was not all for the
Later, Davis was arrest
ed in London. He turned kings evil
dence, received a suspended sentence
and a reward. and came to this coun
try to try his hand. His confession
resulted in Is Of the conspirators go
ing to prison.

MAKE IMPROVEMENT
IN POULTRY FLOCK
OF Just as Much Importance to
Farmer as the Use of Pure
and Improved Seeds.

Just now the agricultural press and
the country publications, too, for that
matter, are calling everybody's at
tention to the Importance of pure and
improved seeds. Poultry raisers, why
not take the hint and pay special at
tention to improving your flock Of
fowls. This is equally as important
as seed grain. If not more 80, for
there is mighty difference between
the dunghill kind kept by too many
and the graded-up kind kept by too
few.

JAPAN MAY STOP
ship SUBSIDY,
ISREPORT

The Togo Kisen Kaisha has been hit
hard in the reported reduction of sub
sides granted by the Japanese govern
ment, according to officers OF the
Anyo Maru.
Officers in the Anyo Maru admitted
that at a recent cabinet meeting at
Toxic the question of eliminating the
subsidy of 100000 yen for 1915 was
given serious consideration.
The steamers in the transpaCific
line, including the Shinyo, Tenyo, Chi
70 and Nippon Maru are each provid-
ed for in former government subsi-
dies A considerable sum is allotted
10 the maintenance OF the AnyO and
its sister ship. Seiyo MarI
1t was said today the term of the
subsidies granted to the Nippon Yu-
sen, Kaisha, the OSAKA Shosen Kaisha
and the Togo Risen Kaisha thus ex-
pires with the new year. At the last
ordinary session of the Imperial diet,
bil providing for the renewal OF the
subsidies was introduced, but failed to
pass the legislature, owing mainly to
the retirement of the Yamamoto cab
met At the council, the communica-
tions authorities urged the importance
of opening a tri-weekly Panama ser
vice, with eight steamers. each of 5000
tons, and asked for a subsidy of 1900
900 yen to a company ordered by the
government to operate the new ser
vice. This proposal was, however,
shelved. owing to the fear that the in
auguration of the new route might Sc
riously affect the Tacoma, Seattle and
San Francisco services now maintain
ed by the aforementioned compan-
les. 1t is understood that the new
service is ready to De opened as soon
as the circumstances permit.
