Horton Was Able to Save
When City Was Fired
Extols American Heroism
He, Wife and Daughter Were
Compelled to Take Refuge
ON Vessel for Athens

Official records of his office, which
re on the way here on a destroyer,
md thirty small coins were all that was
saved by George Horton, American Con-
| sui to Smyrna, when that city was de
stroyed by fire following the invasion
of the Turks. Mr.. Horton arrived here
last night on the United States liner
America and hastened to the Pennsyl-
vania Hotel where the coins we're
placed in safe deposit vault
Although Mr.. Horton is coming here
primarily on leave of absence, 1t was
understood by passengers on the Amer
lea that he is going to Washington to
discuss with the State Department the
disappearance of six naturalized Amer
lean citizens who have been missing
since the city was burned. Mr.. Horton
refused to discuss the political phases
of European politics in reference to
Smyrna and made no comment on the
rumor OF the passengers.
The coins which Mr. Horton brought
have par value of $4oo, but are in
trinsically worth more than $1,000. 900
and probably could not be purchased
at any price. They are among the oldest
IN existence and were excavated on
the site of the ancient kingdom of
Lydia, which flourished in the time of
Croesus, about 500 B. c.
Coins Cast in Gold Die
When discovered they were contained
IN a small glass jar and were given
to Mr.. Horton for safekeeping by rep
resentatives of the American Archae-
ological Society, which found them.
The outline of bulls head on one
side Of each coin and lions head on
the other are still sdiscernible. Mr..
Horton explained that they had evi
IDENTIFY been cast in die of pure gold
and then trimmed rather crudely to
circular form.
Mr.. Horton, one of the founders of
The Chicago Herald" in the days of
Cyrus Field, was first assigned to
Smyrna in 1912 by this government.
When the United States entered the
war he fed with the other members
Of the American colony to Berne.
Switzerland, but he only remained
there short time when he left for
Saionica. With the signing of the
armistice he returned again to SMYRNA.
Mr.. Horton estimated his loss as re-
suit of the confiagration there at about
$4,000 for his home, furnishings and
an automobile.

The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1922-05-05

Putting aside everything else, ev-
eryone admits that the Dark Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association,
now being organized, deals absolutely
fairly with the growers. AT no time
and in no way, does the Association
try to take advantage. Before ask
ing for pledges, the Association con-
ducts in each county an educational
campaign by mailing out sample con-
tracts and other literature, by public
speeches, ETC., all of which is purely
for the purpose of informing the
growers as to what the terms of the
contract are. how the Association pro-
poses to handle his tobacco and to
pay him for it. Then, when it
comes to asking for signatures to the
membership pledges, the most favor
ed plan and the one usually follow
ed is for farmers themselves who IA
Vor the Association to visit their
neighbors in their own homes and
there talk the matter over. At no
time is undue pressure brought TO
bear upon the farmer who has not
signed. The advantages of the As
sociation idea, its strictly business
nature and the financial benefits it
promises to every grower and the
entire dark district, are presented but
if the grower can't see it and doesn't
want 10 sign, his decision is final.
The Association realizes that this is
n matter for each man to decide for
himself and that is the basis upon
which the solicitors work.

Of time, and the accuracy Of detec-
ton is deadly. During the last year
1,025 counterfeiters and check rails
ers were arrested, the greatest num-
Der in the history of the service.
Counterfeit notes amounting to
$196.99S were seized; $12,293.53 in
counterfeit coins, III counterfeit
note plates, IA engraved dies and As
sets of molds for coin counterfeting.
The Latest Scheme.
within the past year the activities
of bootleggers has developed an en-
tirely new criminal industry with
which the service has been called
upon to cope-the counterfeiting OF
internal revenue strip stamps re-
quired on bottled in bond" liquor.
Secret service agents arrested during
the year many persons engaged in
this crime, and seized truck loads Of
these counterfeit stamps and labels
counterfeiting the trade marks OF
popular brands of Whistles and gins.
In many instances il was found that
these counterfeit stamps were being
used on poisonous concOctiOns which
were being sold by bootleggers as
bottled in bond" whisky.
An entirely new phase of the
bootlegging situation has arisen with
in the last few months. Bootleggers
along isolated stretches of the Can
adam border are counterfeiting and
using the bogus money to buy their
supplies in Canada This situation
is causing the secret service consid-
cradle concern, because OF the dlf-
ficulty in reaching CounterfeitinG
plants sequestered in desolate wood
land An instance of this Kind re-
Gently took place in the mountain
country of northern Alabama, but
the "moonshiners" squealed and the
secret service walked in and captur-
ed the men who were buying their
supplies of hooch with bad money;
another illustration Of the old max
i'm that when thieves fall out, hon
est men profit"
The swift and effective detective
work Of the secret service is rein
forced by the courts. Heavy SEN
tence are usually imposed upon
those who try to make their own
money. Anywhere from eight to six
~ years is imposed upon these male
factors, in order that they may have
plenty of solitude to ponder their er-
ring ways. The result is that when
the Jail doors open, most of them are
willing to agree with Chief Moran
and his able assistants when they say
"counterfeiting doesn't pay"

u. S. COMBATS
BILL RAISERS
(By w. Bruce Macnamee.)

(By w. Bruce Nacnamee.)
Washington, April 29.-Tucked
away in a dark corner of the big
treasury building there is an incon-
spicuous little office whose occu-
pants are entrusted with one of the
most important tasks of the govern
ment.
There is no sign on the door. and
the handful of executives and clerks
inside give no outward indication Of
the tremendous responsibility of the
work.
But their task is nothing less tan
preventing the spurious duplication
of Sc coo, 100000 of money IN circu-
laron turnout the country.
The unprecedented activities Of
counterfeiters during the past year
have kept this force of secret service
operatives on their toes every min
ute, but 20 succ essful have been Their
methods of running down the men
who print their own" that the
amount Of counterfeit money actual
ly in circulation amounts to rnly
comparatively few thousand dollars.
Altho .eplete with enough re-
nance and thrills to fill dozen
detective NOV els, the secret service
operations are so little written about
that they are almost hearsay. The
very nature Of the service has here
tofore prevented publication OF its
workings. which are probably tie
most interesting in the government
service.
Everybody with dollar in his
pocket wants TO know that il IS
genuine. That's where the secret
service comes in, and take it from
those who know, 'counterfeiting
doesn't pay" Always the long arm
of the law descends upon the coun-
terfeiter. often with such disconcert-
ing swiftness that his pile Of fake
notes or coins are "pinched" with
him. Here's the way it's done:
How They Work.
John Smith, for instance, a teller
in the Blankville Bank, reports the
finding Of 10-dollar bill that looks
bad" He Immediately reports it to
the secret service. An agent calls
on John Smith as soon as he can get
TO him. The bill is examined, its de-
nomination and workmanship are
studied and a minute description and
warning flashed to every bank in the
vicinity.
Sooner or later, for the counter
feiter must repeat, second similar
bill appears. If in the same town,
the secret service knows that their
man is stationary. If the spurious
note is turned up elsewhere, it means
that the cOunterfeiter is on the move.
In the first case a tracer is sent out,
and the bad bill is inevitably traced
back to its maker. In the case of
migratory 'passers' the secret serv-
ice operative tries to get ahead Of
him and nail him when he arrives
in a new town.
These methods have stood the test
