BAD COINS ARE
IN CIRCULATION

Secret service men and other gov
ernment officials are investigating and
warning the public of an influx of bad
silver dollars which have been making
their appearance in Tampa for some
time, the latest victims of the bad
coins being the internal revenue office.
In one way they were not victims. as
Deputy Collector o. L. knight dis
covered the bad dollar before he had
given anything in exchange for it,
and in place of turning it back, follow
ed out the instructions to government
officials and seized the coin, to be later
turned over to the secret service men
in charge of the case.
The bad dollars are almost a per-
feet imitation of the real thing and
those who have seen them believe
thew have been cast from regular gov
ernment dies. They bear the date OF
1902 and except for being underwelg ght
are hard to distinguish from the gen
uine coin of the realm.
Pedro Cassalas came into the reve-
nue. office this morning and rendered
the bad silver dollar among other good
coins in exchange for stamps, and the
coin was taken up. Mr.. Knight has
another of the species which came
from the factory of Joseph E. Reyes,
prominent cigarette manufacturer, and
it is believed that the source of dis
tribution is. somewhere in 4bor City.
Those who have rendered the coins at
the internal revenue window have
been innocent of the fact that the
money was bad, as have others who
have been "stuck" with the bad dol
lars. Several of the banks of the city
have a collection of the coins as well
as the stores, and the government men
are hot foot on the trail of the coun-
terfeiters, and expect to make an ar
rest before great while longer

Who has been Ill
Now Recovering

Mr.. j. C. Beekman has been quite ill
during the past week, but is now re-
ported to be on the road to recovery,
and will, no doubt, be able to attend
to his usual duties in few days.
Mr.. Beekman is an Independent can
didate for county tax collector, and
his illness during the finish of the
campaign was unfortunate. He is an
old and highly respected citizen OF
this city and if elected will make a
most efficient officer.

Hobo's Best Friend

century ago he fought Tom Allen for

Although fighting continues at va

taken Alitsa, on the left bank of the
Struma, from the Bulgarians.

CAME FROM BERMUDA.
Present Heat Wave is the Worst in IS
Years.

Washington, d. c., July 2S.-A Der
muda high is the official cause OF the
worst heat wave that has enveloped the
country in 10 years. That means that
a great area of high pressure air, mob
ilized in the Atlantic off Bermuda, has
now let go its full power from the sea-
board to the Rocky mountains.
For weeks it has stood like solid
wall against heated currents trying vain
ly to move out from the interior over
the ocean, and now as it swirls rapidly
along it is gathering heat and moisture
from the tropics and sweeping them
northward over the continent into the
vacuum of so-called ''low pressure areas" !"
No relief is promised from the phenom-
ena which in the east has caused swell
tering city dwellers to light fires in their
homes to dry out the humidity, or which
in the Mississippi valley is threatening
to destroy millions of dollars worth of
food crops Chief Forecaster Franken
field said yesterday that the heat wave
only had begun. 1t is certain to con-
tinue through the week and probably
longer None of the conditions essen
tial to a breakup are yet evident.

STRANGE CRAFT CAME IN.
Later 1t Was Identified as Norwegian
Tramp Steamer.

New York, July 2S.-After persistent
reports had been circulated here for two
days that the German submarine mer-
chairman Bremen had arrived off Sandy
Hook some excitement was caused last
night by the appearance in the lower
bay of a small vessel of 'low visibil.-
ty.'
The craft which, when first seen, was
lying so low in the water it was barely
discernible, was the Norwegian tramp
steamer Alderney, from Bombay. The
darkness, coupled with the fact that the
British steamship Adriatic closely fol-
lowed, caused many persons along the
shore who thought the Alderney was
to rush to telephones OPP
orators in the various newspaper offices
were kept busy for some time answering
inquiries from all parts of the city.
1t was not until the Alderney had
passed some distance into the harbor
that persons who had caught hazy out
line of her were convinced she was not a
submarine.
