Suspects Alleged to Have

Spurious $40 Federal Re-
serve Bills Since Saturday
Work of B Big Gang Barred
Prisoners, All Russians, Are
Arrested in Building at
42d Street and Broadway

United States Secret Service agents
raided building at Forty-second
Street and Broadway late last night
and captured five men charged with
counterfeiting They seized $50 5,000 in
bogus $50 Federal Reserve notes, with
which they allegc the men have food
cd New York.
No aid was asked of the police or any
outside organization. No patrol wagons
were used to transport the men to the
Custom House, where they were ques-
toned by Captain Tucker and locked
UP. All the men were said to be Rus
SLAMS, and it is believed they are the
leaders of q large gang engaged in dis
tributng spurious currency.
Notes Traced Quickly
Tho counterfciters began letting the
worthless notes loose in the business
centcrs Of the city last Saturday night
it is said. One OF the notes fell into
the hands of Secret Service agents and
the entire energy OF the local force
was used to trace it down. Every re
source at tho command of the agents
was used over the week end. and hy
last night the case was practically
closed.
A press for printing the notes was
seized, together with paper. ink and
other material for counterfelting on a
large scale.
The arrest of the five Russians is
expected to lead to a number OF other
captures and the braking up of one OF
the most serious counterfeiting at
tempts that the secret service has dealt
with in some time.
Press and Materials Taken
The press and materials with which
the notes were made we're coniiscated
by the agents. They say that 1t was
ono of The most complete outfits they
have ever discovered and chat the work
the gang turned out was almost perfect
The counterfeit note, which was
widely distri buted, is copy of the
Cleveland, issue of the Federal Reserve
Bank. and but for one minor fault
would have passed the examination OF
EXPERTS. The coat lapel of the figure
o. the note was clumsily executed, the
government men say.

return to Scotland Neck about
Wednesday, Aug. 3Oth. The ag-
ricultural agent is making a
special effort to get him back
to serve some Of the farmers who
are slow in having this work
done. A good many Of the farm
ers wait until cholera is next
door to them or in their herds
and then they call for a veter-
marian. We have had a persis-
tent case Of cholera in the low
CT end Of the county and if all
the farmers would inoculate their
hogs, we could get rid Of it.
DR.. Hunt has about twelve
counties to serve and it is only
on the good will Of DR.. Hunt that
the agricultural agent has been
able to get him back here as Of
ten as he has. When the agri.
cultural agent gets the services
Of these specialists, it is up te
the farmers to use them at the
time they come to this county
and when you do not take ad
vantage Of this work, you are
