FIVE ARRESTS IN .COUNTERFEITCASE
Ex-Convict And Four Others, Including Two School
 Girls, Are Held

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Another step in the roundup by secret service men of what they declare Is one gang responsible for the largest dlstribu- tion of counterfeit money the country has seen in years came to- day with the arrest of an alleged ex- convict and a family of four, includ ing two school girls.
 The arrests were made under the direction of Capt. Thomas l. Porter, head of the federal secret service in Chicago, those taken into custody be- ing John Shea, Charles Thompson, his wife, Florence, and two daugh- ters. Several other arrests have been made in other cities In connection with the circulation of bogus bills, according to the secret service men.
 Secret service operatives for months have been following the trail Of several persons suspected of circulating counterfeit SIC federal reserve notes. Between S5O0,000 and S1, 900, ,000 of this money has been put in circulation In cities between the Atlantic coast and the Rocky noun tains. Reports from merchants in New York city and Chicago show ed they had been particularly active in these two places.
 Only trained bank employees and others expert in handling money have been able to detect the counter feits. All the bills discovered thus far arc in tho s10 denomination, federal reserve notes, series c, with a portrait of Andrew Jackson.

NEW, U. 5. WEAPON BEATS BIG BERTHA
Gun Developed Which Hurls Projectile TWenty-three
 Miles

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Army or dinance experts have developed what they believe to be the heaviest and most powerful gun of its type in the world.
 A new weapon is of the l4inch, 50- calibre type and is postwar de- velopment. It is capable of hurling an armor piercing projectile of 1,66O pounds for distance of 23 miles and can be mounted on wheeled carriages and drawn along railroad tracks.
 An electrical apparatus is provided to lower the gun in position for passage through railroad tunnels and elevating it to firing position. The total weight of gun and carriage is 1000, pounds.
 One feature of the monster weapon is it's ability to fire either from it's carriage upon the tracks or when rolled to a concrete emplacement For thls purpose, wheeled supports are provided which can be removed within 30 minutes.
 Because of the great weight of the gun. war department officials believe some railroad bridges may not bG sufficiently strong to carry it across, and department officials have opened communication with railroad com panies in an effort to have stronger bridges built in the future.

Sixteen blocks of excellently To- cated residential property within four blocks of the business section, have been reclaimed and will be opened for development by the Bes semer Coal, Iron and Land company within the next two weeks. This property is located between Second and NintN avenues, ranging in an irregular strip between Eleventh to Thirteenth streets. During the past few months an extensive drainage system has been installed by the company.
 Much of the property reclaimed was formerly traversed by Halls branch, and a part of the drainage program was the strengthening of this stream, confining it's course to a single straight strip of land This canal will be completed in two weeks, according to the contractors and the engineer in charge, and by changing the course of the stream scores of the most beautiful lots in the city will be ready for develop ment.
 The land company is also working on the opening up of about 80 acres to the north of the city, where several subdivisions will be located. Streets and driveways are being put through, and plans are being worked out to carry water to this section. The Alabama Water company has 8 petition before the public service commission to extend its mains to this section and to Dolomfte.
 Opening of the lots along Halls branch Is the first of a number of developments during the coming year. All realty agents and others in touch with conditions expect this to be the banner year in the sale of property and the building of homes

RAILROADS BREAK ALL OLD RECORDS
Handled More Traffic And h. vested More Capital Than
 Ever Before

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-(By As- sociated Press.)-Railroads in 1923 handled an amount of traffic unpre- cedented in previous transportation experience, invested a record break ing amount of capital in new facili- ties and equipment, and will finish the year with increased earnings and with equipment and appurtenances in better shape than ever before. Their situation was summarized and the above statements made in a report Railway association.
 As to the traffic, the association estimated that the total freight handled during the war would amount to 49.s44,000 carloads, or 15 per cent greater than the loadings those of 1920, the year when the postwar commercial boom was at it's heighth. The earnings from this business by Class l roads, the re- port said. would be about $980, 900, 900 for the year, representing 5.16 per cent on the estimated capital value of railroads, and constituting q failure to realize the moderate re- turn contemplated by the level of ex- isting transportation charges"
 In the new capital investment dur ing the year the railroads made their most impressive increase. In 1922 expenditures for new lines, addi- tional tracks, larger terminals, and more rolling stock amounted to s429,272,0OO, but in 1923 they jumped to SLOTS, ,S97 000. Appropriations made and work begun in 1923, but not yet completed call for an addi- tional investment of s3O0,S06, 900 in 1924. This expenditure. the associa- tion said, Represents one of the main reasons for the expansion of busineS and the employment of in dustrial labor" during 1923.
 Cut of railroad gross income dur ing the year, there was S1,S00, DOC, 900 expended for fuel, materials and sup plies, an additional factor in com mercial transactions.
 In spite of the tremendous volume of traffic offered for carriage, the roads have 225,00o surplus freight cars in good repair, but held in re- serve on lines. At the latest date available, December 1, freight cars, in need of repairs on lines numbered 155,626. or but 6S per cent of the total of freight cars owned. Loco motives needing repairs at the sam time numbered 10,572, or 1e.4 per cent of the total, this figure like wise being represented as a decrease under normal. 4
 more efficient use of equipment. Dur ing October, the average freight car travelled BOT miles a day in freight service, while for the first 10 months of the year the daily car movements averaged 27.9 miles. During the same period last year the movement was 22.9 miles.
