ed. Nothing is gained without

GIGANTIC SYSTEM

captured in Tuesdays raids here,
WHO will be treated the same way
the manufacturers are treated.
Joseph A. Palma, chief Of the spe-
cial secret service squad, which for
eight months tracked the makers
and distributors Of surious money,
gave evidence Of the widespread in
ternattiOnaf ramification of the plot
by announcing that Is persons had
been arrested in England, France,
Egypt, Germany, Cuba. Austria and
the Bahaif1s, as a result of informa-
ton furnished by the American Sc
cret service.
New York police who began an in :
dependent investigation protested to
find direct connection between the
counterfeit plot and scores Of hither-
to unsolved gang murders of the past
few years.
Several Of the murders were be-
lieved to have resulted from passage
of bogus money and from double
crossing in the ranks of the counter
feiters. A number of crimes. it was
said, had bee, committed in or near
the BrOome street cafe owned by
John hi Rosa, arrested yesterday as
one of the rings large wholesalers of
counterfeits.
Palma agreed that scores of i'm
portant criminals were among the
ranks Of the counterfeiters. He said
thcy were the "scum of the under
world" because they did not at
tempt to pass their spurious money
on banks or alert people, but preyed
upoh the ignorant.
Immigrants unfamiliar with Am
erican money were the easiest vic
tins. but the gang also hunted out
small stores kept by old women, and
stores left at times in charge of
children.
Mr.. Palma said it was probable
the countcrfeitcrs themselves had
nothing to do actually with the i'm
portation or sale of cOntraband liquor
or narcotics, but that the bootlegsers
and dope smugslers bought fake
money from them With which to
make their purchases abroad.
Secret service mcm are checking up
on all possible sources: of information
thrown open to them by yesterdays
roundup to ascertain whether the
countcrfeiting conspirators turned
over the vast quantities of narcotics
they bought to Independent gangs
or whether they used their own ma

Alvarez, remained silent. For two
months. while the Bellineham was
encountering storms of such fury
that the ships superstructure was
damaged and one sailor was swept

Bertha wept today when she was
separated from her lover. Alvarez
assured her that they would he mar
