MAKER OF SPURIOUS
MONEY IS TRAPPED

IFrom a London Letter to the West
minister Gazette1
Not for the first time is the Bank
of France worried by counterfeit notes
so cleverly forged as almost to defy
detection. 1t went through an alarm
ing experience of the kind in the reign
of Louis Philippe, when an adventurer
happily named Gatebourse put 500
1000 franc notes in circulation in
single month He Jared sumptuously,
entertained extravagantly and had
even the audacity to offer hospitality
to the governor of the bank, who told
him all about the forgeries and admit
ted that if the forger were not soon
caught the bank would find itself In
Queer Street.
Two days later Gatebourse walked
into the bank and presented one of
the notes, but there was one detail
which he had overlooked. 1t was the
custom in those days to pin notes OF
that value together in packets of ten
The cashier looked for the pin pricks
and, failing to find them, summoned
the police, who arrested Gatebourse
with the result that he was presently
sentenced to penal servitude for life
Another successful forger from
whom the Bank of France has suf
fered was a certain M. Barrot, who
happened to be on intimate terms with
a highly placed official of the bank
NJ Manceau.
How on EARTH" he asked hi:
friend, across the dinner table, "dC
you know a forged note from a genu
inc one?" His attention was draw
to a minute flaw in the genuine notes
which the cashiers were taught t.
look for
Armed with this information, M
Barrot proceeded to forge notes IL
which the crucial flaw duly appeared
but his run. nevertheless, was a shor
one. The forgery was not, after al
quite perfect, and NJ. Manceau cam
TO the conclusion that the forger coult
be no other than the gentleman L
whom he had been so indiscreetl
communicative. He therefore pai
him a surprise visit, in the compan
of the police, and caught him in tn
act of forging more notes. So Barro
also got a life sentence, though h
avoided serving it by jumping into tn
sea when about to embark for Ca!
enne.

HOPI INDIANS SEEK
$50 SERPENTS FOR
THEIR SNAKE DANCE
tRy Associated pressl

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 29.-On the
Painted Desert of northern Arizona.
Hopi Indians next month will hold
their noted snake dances, which an
nually attract thousands of tourists.
This year the dances will be held in
the villages Of Walpi and Mishong-
novi
Most people believe the snake dance
is a Hopi rain dance. This is not
correct, according to Emry Kopta, a
sculptor, who claims that tn" ceremony
is a form of Indian ancestor worship.
Mr.. Kopta has been living in Walpi
village for seven years, and say the
Hopis always hold their rain dances
in June and July and the snake dances
in August.
Describing the ceremony, Mr.. Kopta
declared the dancers open the dance
by stamping upon plank laid over a
pit This is intended to notify the
dead that the ceremony has begun Be-
tween 100 and $50 snakes are needed
for the annual dances.
Origin of Dance.
Out OF the scores of Hopi traditions,
has come story telling of the origin
of the snake dance. according to the
sculptor. The traditions tell of Hopi
youth. dreamer, who once set out to
find what lay beyond the far hills. He
foated down the muddy Colorado until
he came to a land believed to be Cali
fornia. There he met and wed a
maiden of strange tribe and took
her back to his Hopi village.
The first children of the young
couple were snakes, and the Hopis ey
PEELED the two from the village. Then
y the crops failed, the Indians suffered
from starvation and the old village
priest said the trouble was brought or
by the expulsion. He declared rain
would not fall or crops mature until
the couple was brought back.
Acting on the priests advice, thf
Indians searched the deserts for the
two and eventually found them. After
leaving the village, the woman had
borne human children and these were
brought back. But the snake children
had glided off into the desert.
In celebration of the couples return
the Indians danced the first snake
dance and, since the snake childrer
could not be found, they brought al
the snakes they could find to attenC
the ceremonies.
