COUNTERFEITERS
HERE BELIEVED
In COAST RING

A package mailed at San Fran
cisco December 26, 1881, was direct
ly responsible for the arrest of
Frank j. Hamilton, 81, alias Joe
Spurgeon, and Lima Fitzmaurice,
40. who are held at the Imperial
county Jail today awaiting the ar
rival of federal officers to take them
into custody on charges of counter
feiting.
That the arrest of these two here
this week may touch upon the bor-
ders of CALIFORNIA; largest coun-
terfeiting ring Is the belief ex-
pressed today by officers.
Technically, the two are held for
violation of Section 149 of the GRIM
inal code of the United States.
Federal officers said the charge
placed against them deals with as
sertedly counterfeit $40 bills, con-
tanned in the package mailed from
San Francisco to j. r. Mccoy at
Los Angeles.
A return address placed on the
package by the woman, who put
it in the mails, was the medium
through which officers traced her
and the man. The package was in
tercepted in the mail and found to
contain counterfeit bills, the Off
GERS declared.
Miss Fitzmaurice said today that
she did not know the contents of
the package, which was given to
her by Hamilton. with instructions
that it be mailed. Post office au-
thorities told her to place re-
turn address on the package, and
she did SO, she told officers.

REPUBLICAN ATTORNEY DEFENDS
ROOSEVELT ON GERMAN MARKS

Hoover, I believe that fair play
requires that I write you my un-
derstanding of the situation, y
Paine wrote.
"It is therefore inaccurate, in
fact totally incorrect to charge
that the investors lost money in
the transaction.
"The par value Of each share of
stock was 10000 German marks
and as the actual marks were re-
ceived from subscribers they were
shipped to German and there in
vested in high grade German
equities.
cat the time the company be-
gan to function the market value
of 10000 marks was approximate
ly $3.50. AS result of the in
vestments made, the book value
of these shares reached nearly So
a share, whereupon in late 1924 or
early 1925, the company, under my
supervision, liquidated.
"Its shareholders were paid at
the above rate which yielded ap-
proximately three times the amount
of the value of the marks at the
time of their deposit"
Roosevelt, it was learned, direct
ed his immediate attention today
to formulation of the three major
speeches he will deliver at Pitts
burgh, st. Louis, and Baltimore

in the heart of the theatrical dis
trict, stared in astonishment when
COW walked in the door.
The COW gazed benignly about,
and seeing no hay, walked out.
Outside, bystander phoned Ma

None was present. So several spec

failed.
Patrolman G. L. Smith appeared,
and with all the skill of a trained

it to attract the cows attention,
then slipped a moose over It's head.
The COW had escaped from a
van delivering three cows to near

REJECTED LOVER
OPENS FIRE ON
GIRLS FAMILY

MARLBORO, Mass, Oct. Is. U.P)
The entire family knelt after
supper last night to join in reciting
the rosary-a nightly custom at
the home of pious James Soucy.
The parents led the prayer, with
responses from the children, AL
bert 26, Hermanci, %, Bertha 10,
and Arthur 18.
Suddenly a door flew open. A
wild-eyed youth with a revolver in
either hand, stood before them.
The Soucy family recognized him
as John Chicoine, %, barber, who
had been counting Hermanci.
"I've got IL bullets in these
guns. They are for the first one
that moves!" Chicoine announced.
Albert rushed at him, but fell
with bullet in his hip.
Arthur grappled with him, but
was mortally wounded in the heart.
Hermanci retreated to pantry
and Chicoine fired six times, one
bullet piercing her right shoulder.
The mother tried to telephone
police but Chicoine fired at her,
knocking the instrument from her
hands.
After driving other members of
the family from the living room,
Chicoine methodically placed one
cum on chair, lifted the other to
his right temple, and ended his
life.
Arthur died enroute to a hos
pital. The other victims will re-
cover.
Last Tuesday, Hermanci had told
Chicoine that their romance was
ended; that she never wanted to
see him again
