sure, whereas it usually is easy to
slice a small piece out of the edge
of a counterfeit coin, Macy said.
Detection of bogus paper money is
not quite as easy, he said, but should
not be difficult for a close observer,
except in the case of a remarkably
clever counterfeit.
Bogus bills also have a greasy
feeling, he said, together With a
somewhat grayish smudgy appear
ance, and usually a lack CT dis
tinctness about the eyes of the
portrait and the shading of the
bill.
Most counterfeit paper money is
mace by rephotographing a genuine
bill, and in the process some of the
distinctneSs is lost.
Ordinarily a counterfeit can be
detected by comparison with a
known genuine bill, Macy pointed
out Comparison of the two bills
under an enlarging glass almost in
variably will reveal a counterfeit
by the crudeness of the lines and
by showing up the spots which have
been touched up with pen and ink
or with a brush.
Raised bills also can be detected
by close observation. In some cases
genuine 81 bill is used by the
counterfeiter, who paints out the 81
and alters it to represent IS, $40
and $40 notes.
In other cases, the criminal splits
a 81 and SIS bill, pasting the
halves together to show 81 on one
side and S. on the reverse of each.
Then he hands the bill to a victim,
with the IS bill side up, for change.
Few persons take the caution to
look at both sides Of the bill.

Kept Bouncing Back

Questioning the persons named,
agents found each had been given
the same coin by the same driver, at
different times, but later had dis
covered its character and returned it
to the driver who since has left the
city.
Officers believe the driver him
self received the coin in change and,
rather than lose so cents. risked a
prison term to pass it on. The coin
kept bouncing back, they believe,
each time he passed it.
After having passed it on the po-
liccmans relative, they said, appar-
entity the driver feared he might be
sent to prison, and he abandoned
his breadwagon in an alley, and
left the city.
Federal law provides that any per-
son knowingly passing counterfeit
money, even though having received
it innocently, is guilty under the
countcrieiting laws and, upon con-
yictlon, shall be imprisoned.
Detection Is Difficult
Detection of counterfeit coins and
bills usually is not difficult. accord
ing to Charles Macy, secret service
operative in charge Of the Indian
apolis office.
Inc only reason cOunterfeiterS are
able to pass most counterfeit bills
and coins, he said, is the careless
ness OF the person receiving the
money.
whenever genuineneSS Of a bill or
coin is questioned, he suggested, it
is good policy to study the actions
of the passer, who usually will give
himself away to a close observer by
his eagerneSs, or nervousness.
Counterfeit coins usually are UNI
derWeight, although this is not al
ways the case, and almost invari-
ably have a greasy feeling and a
dull appearance, unless, as happens
occasionally, they have been silver
plated.
Scrape Off in Flakes
Most counterfeit coins are mold
ed of babbit or other soft metal
and the face can be scraped off in
flakes with a knife. A genuine coin
can be made to shine by scraping
with a knife, but the fakes will
be almost imperceptible.
Another test for coins is to at
tempt to cut a piece out of the edge
of the coin. With a genuine coin,
a knife will penetrate slightly into
the edge, but none of the metal
will be removed without great pres

SOUTH PLACES
ALL ITS TRUS
IN ROOSEVELT
Faces Lifted to Him on His
Visit Are AIight With
Hope.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times Stan Writer

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Jan. IL
There is something appalling and
frightening in the hope and trust
which the people of the south place
in Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The faces lifted to his as he rides
through city streets and country
sides are alight with expectation.
The radiance his presence produces
can be compared only to the smiles
and cheers that greet Alfred E.
Smith from the sidewalks of New
York.
This particularly was true in Ala
bama, where he promised the peo-
pie to revive industry and business
in the Tennessee valley by re-
awakening that sleeping giant Of
power, Muscle Shoals.
1t requires visit to understand
the faith the people in this vicinity
have in the potentialities of the
Shoals. In each town, and at every
crossing, the President-elect saw
signboards begging him to "un-
shackle this giant and give employ
ment to labor"
Pays Jeff Davis Tribute
Just as the prospect that his
power program may be realized
brought tears to the eyes of old
Senator George w. Norris as he
and Mr.. Roosevelt shook hands on
the bluff overlooking Wilson dam,
so everybody else looks to benefit
from the Roosevelt program.
Major A. Poyet, the army officer
who has tried to keep the gray
factories trim and efficient over
twelve years, thrills at the prospect
that this ugly beauty will be awak-
ened after its long sleep.
At the beautiful capital of the
south, Montgomery, this eager atti-
tude of hopefulness was quite as
striking.
Although he paid unusual tribute
to Jefferson Davis from the very
spot where the latter took oath OF
office as president of the confeder-
acy, Mr.. Roosevelt evoked equal
cheers with his pledges on Muscle
Shoals. The south apparently has
tempered its sentiment with econ
omics.
Keeps His Old Tactics
Political observers note that Mr.
Roosevelt, in visiting and travel
ing through the south, is applying
to national politics the same tao
tics he did to New York when he
was Governor. He was the first
Democratic leader to cultivate the
Republicans above the Bronx, anc

committee, which has the utility
bill, already passed by the house. If
it is rejected in committee he will
fight for its adoption on the senate
floor when the bill reaches second
readin, weiss said.
Here is his theory regarding it:
Appeals to federal district courts
in rate cases now are taken on the
ground that the fourteenth amend
ment to the federal Constitution is
being violated and property confis-
Gated without due process of law.
Under my amendment, that due
process will be provided. Rate ap-
peals will be taken to one of the
five judges of the Marion superior
court. Therefore. an adequate rem
edy at law will be provided and
the way closed for admission to fed
eral court.
With the basis for rate-making
defined by statute, this theory of
the law will hold and will overcome
previous objections, such as were
levied against the proposal that ap-
pealS must pass through state courts
before going into federal court.
Il have presented the amendment
and eXpounded my theory of law

the Indianapolis bar. without ex-
ception. they have granted its
soundness; that is. those vino are
without big utility connections.
Weiss admits, however, that the
utility influence is powerful now, as
it always has been in the past. and
he may encounter great difficulty
in securing approval for his amend
ment.
The utility bill already has been
emasculated so that it likely will
make municipally-owned plants
charge higher rates and make
further extension of municipal
ownership nearly impossible" he
asserted.
About the only decent thing left
in it is the clause defining the rate
base. and utility lawyers. in and out
of the legislature and administra-
ton, already are declaring that I'M

Nearly Ten Times as Many Now as

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Nearly
ten times as many Americans now

various kinds as there were sixty
years ago. it is revealed in the re-
port of the Presidents research

The advance has been most strik-
ing in the newer professions, the
number of engineers of all classes
having increased more thar thirty
fold between 1870 and 1890, the re-
port shows.
Changes and increases in the

statistics furnished by the United
States census.
Noting the growth in the number
of engineers. the chapter states: In
a special sense the machine age
is the creation of the technical
engineers. whose numbers, exclud-
ing electricians, have increased
from 1000 in 1870 to a total of more

KOKOMO MOVIE
FIRE LEADS TO
ARREST OF ONE
City Man Is Held After Long
Investigation by State

First arrest as result of several
months investigation by deputy
state fire marshals of a mysterious

in theft of a car stolen fer use by
participants in the Kokomo theater
alteration.
The car was stolen from Dr. Rus

NAKED warfare carried on by
stencil bombs, some of which were
thrown in the Indiana theater at
