DISCOVER COUNTERFEIT RING.
Five Arrested in New York in Connec-
ton With Huge Plot.

New York. Aug. 3.-FederaI agents
believed today they had, in a gang of
five men under arrest, only a fraction
of one of the largest squads of scoun-
tArfeiters that have operated in the
east in years.
The counterfeiters, who were highly
organized, and had their headquarters
in Brooklyn, are believed to number
thirty in all. The appearance of coun-
terfeit fives, tens and twentIes brought
William H. Moran, chief offthe Wash
ington secret service, mere a month
ago. His investigations led to the
summoning of a gigantic corps of his
best agents here from all parts of the
country.
The federal agents had hoped to
work in secret until the trap was all
set. but were forced to act more
quickly, seizing not only counterfeit
ing apparatus, but several hundred
dollars worth of the money" when
they swooped down upon the bakery
and butcher shop of Filipo Samfillo,
in Rockaway avenue, Brooklyn. All
the men held are Italians.

Marcus Crockett, colored. aged IT
years, went into the r. w. Swing gro
cery store at 1903 Kansas avenue
Wednesday night and asked Mrs.
Swing, who was alone in the store, for
10 cents worth of ham sausage.

containing $2O3.75 in casn and checks.
He was arrested this morning by De-
tectives e. v. Glynn and Clarence
Bundy. The pocketbook containing
the checks and part of the money was

sas avenues, where Crockett was en-
ployed.

Independence, Kan, Aug. 3.-The
opinion in this part of the Third dis
trict is that CampbelTs defeat was
due solely to Ku Klux Klan which, in
Montgomery and Labette. counties at
least, got out ballots showing its mem
bers how to vote against Campbell.
When the Klan was investigated by
a congressional committee last fall,
Campbell had several sharp verbal
tits with w. J. Simmons, Atlanta,
Ga, wizard of the khan and it is said
that Simmons then threatened to
