CARBLED 81
BILLS IN
TRADE
Silver Certificates Marked "E"
instead Of ''E" Are Widely
Circulated.

Garbled 81 silver certificates
which have been pouring from
the presses of the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing for the
past two weeks have found their
way into circulation, it was
learned today from an authorita-
tive source.
Escaped Sharp Scrutiny.
Despite the careful check which
hitherto kept errors from creeping
into United States paper currency,
thousands of these bills, it is said,
with the baldest sort of error in
them, escaped all eyes until after
they were issued at the Treasury
Department.
Assistant Secretary of the Treas.
ury Winston denies that any OF
the bills are in circulation, but it
is known that secret service men
are working on the case, and that
frenzied efforts are being made
today to get all of them out OF
the market at the earliest possible
. moment.
Inc defect Is in plate No. 90,541
| an eight subject one silver face
plate. The error can be discovered
by anyone, as on the bad bills the
letter "E" appears in the lower
right hand corner near the words
"pay bearer on demand" and the
letter ''F'" on the left side OF the
bill between the eagle and the
figure 81" On all of the bills the
same letter should appear.
Scores Of girls are today go1ne
over every bill in the bureau aud
"sponging' them for the purpose OF
detecting the garbled ones.
Serial Numbers Mixed.
Estimate is made that the error
will cost the Government thousands
Of dollars and that it will entail
days of labor to make an audit
owing to the fact that the serial
numbers on the bad bills do not
tally as they should.
Plate printing union officials said
today that the error was doubtlessly
due to the fact that many of the
employees at the bureau are in a
hysterical state owing to Director
Hills speed up orders and alleged
"swe, shop" conditions.
Gag" Applied by Hill.
The union officials claim that the
errors were very likely overlooked
because the girls who are sup
posed to catch them are in fear
that If they do not make speed
records that they will be dis
charged.
Director Hill when questioned
about the garbled bills last night
denied the error had been made and
has issued orders for all employees
to keep silent about the mistake.
and commanded the guards not to
admit newspaper men to the build.

eminent Compensation.

Conspiracy indictments against
eleven Washington coal dealers,
charging violation Of the Sher-
man antitrust law today were an
nulled by a decision of Justice A.
A. Hoehling in the District SUI
preme Court.
The indictments against the
coal men were returned to the
grand jury Of March, 1921, for
alleged conspiracy in restraint Of
the coal trade. After more than
two years of legal pickering,

down q ruling that the indict-
ments were Illegal since one Of

sation from the Government.

plea in abatement, on the grounds
that George I'll. Van Kirk, .I10w de-
ceased, was at the time OF doing
