SECRET SERVICE MEN SEEK CROOKS
Making Swift Roundup Of Coun-
 terfeit Operators

Chicago, March s tPl-Secrot serv- ice men in san Francisco. New York, Detroit and several other cities today were working swiftly to round up members of band which floated S5oo,o in spurious S2o bills as result Of confessions obtained here from six men held after a series of raids.
 The printing plant also was sought.
 The counterfeit money had been passed in number Of American cities, including St. Louis. New or leans, Boston, Pittsburgh and Cleve- land. and also in Budapest, Hungary, where two Austrians were arrested and given long terms two months aeo- State department officials there obtained the leads which re suited in the Chicago raids.
 Three secret service men. warned that death would be their portion if they betrayed the band, posed as Texas gamblers and bought coun- terfcit money from the "clrculation department" of the outfit. Infor- nation they obtained resulted in nine raids yesterday. Six places raided were announced by officers but thrr" were kept secret, presumably because il was hoped 10 obtain fur thcr information there.
 Tony Carona, described as the head of the 'circulation department" and his alleged chief aide, Samuel Romano, were two Of those arrested. Twenty men were taken to the foG- "ral building, but officers said only six wer" held after questioning by secret service mon.
 A member Of the band Saturday told one Of the secret service mon, who ostcnsibly was one of the or gantzation, that the gang planned assassination of one member who. they believed, had reported them to the government.
 The bogus bills all bear the series number ''E 311" over the signature of Frank White. treasurer of the United States. They are imitation gold certificates bearing Washing tons portrait, and are engraved upon bloaChed one-dollar bills.

STATE DIVISION

On November 10. 1851, only two
wears after it's formation, Con
vcntion to Divide the State of
California assembled in Los An
geles. This was the result of unequal
legislation and taxation. State
taxes paid on real estate and per
sonal property by the approximate
ly 5000 persons in the six south
ern counties amounted annually to
$4,000, while the twelve counties
engaged chiefly in mining, paid
only $21 900. Add to this the fact
that the southern section had but
twelve representative in the legis-
lature as compared with forty-four
from the mountain counties, and the
desire Of the south for separation
would seem just and reasonable.
However, adjustments were grad,
uallv made and division averted.

During the six months Of the

liquor system will be in force. the
administration anticipates that it

On the basis of this estimate It
predicts q net surplus of $50 900
