SECRET SERVICE LED
LONG CHASE BY HOAX
Demand for the Return Of
$4,000 Sent to Conscience
Fund a Joke.

WAsHISGToN. Aug. 3-Scenting an
attempt TO impose on the tabled good
heart of Uncle sam, officers of tho secret
service came N the end Of a long and
involved chase to-day which seems to
have terminated by uncovering n hoax
in the pursuit started when a letter vas
received at the Office Of Secretary McAdoo
ton from n New Yorker, asking the
Secretary to return the donation to the
wife" of the man who had donated
IL on the ground that the d'nor has
been laboring under a delusIon about
owing the Government conscience money.
The writer said:
"My crazy husband, nearly dead, sent
you u short time ago $4,000, He is
now dying. Please return the money
TO me, No sound mind would do the
thing he did"
The letter was signed with the name
OF a woman and mailed In n railroad
train between Sterling and Peoria, In
Illinois. The letter asked that the
money he mailed TO the postmaster at
Rochester, y. Y. The investigation pur-
SUED by the secret service men disclosed
that the postmaster at Rochester had
received a note directing him to forward
any mail that might come TO the post
master nj Van Patton, Ill.
That postmaster when seen by the
secret service men said he had directions
TO forward the package OF money when
received to the brakeman at Nelson.
III" There are several brakemen who
pass through Nelson daily On trains
and the direction given would have made
IL impossible for the Government to de-
liver the package to Its final address
had there been any power or disposition
to do so.
It was thought NJ first that somebody
was trying to swindle the Government
through fraudulent representations. Thi,
led to the chase by the secret service
men. The secret service admits that the
Government has been hooxcd. They in,
t.ma,cd there would be no attempt tc
apprehend the brakeman"

now one by two private contractors
who are paid by individual citizens sub
scribing $4,000 for the purpose. The
Street Cleaning Commissioner would have
the streets flushed by night, instead OF
sprinkled by day, since flushing would
be more clcanly and safer.
The danger to automobiles and even
to horses from sprinkling is what has
caused the protest. a distinguished
physician of this city whose car re-

chiefly on account Of the incident when

Several letters written by officials Of
other organizations begging them TO
keep out OF New York State while the
