Federal Agents Hunt for
Makers of Counterfeit
Money
WORKMANSHIP IS GOOD
Counterfeit quarters and half drllar"
In considerable numbers are circulating
In Philadelphia and nearby towns, ac
cording to Federal officials here, who
have been aslgned to nn Inveht Ration.
These officials believe that makers of
the spurious coins have made this city
their headquarters.
Not In many years has such a good
counterfeit of the twenty-flve-cent piece
appeared ns that now In circulation.
said operatives of the United states
Secret Service today. So far the
"phony" quarters nil have been Imita
tions of the coinage before 1917. when
the tvventy-five-cent piece of tji? new
coinage were first minted. This tends
to aid the counterfeiters, the Secret
Service believes, as the general public
seems less likely to be suspicious of the
old quarters than the new.
The counterfeit half-dollar pieces are
much easier to detect, it Is said as they
are noticeably less in weight than true
currency and are more poorly ntampd
than the quarters. They are detected
almost as soon -as they cime Into con
tact with the fingers
Xot so with the counterfeit quarters
Their weight Is only a fraction let.-,
than that of the sound coins, and thc
are almost perfectly stamped In the
old days of counterfeiting in this coun
try spurious silver money was made in
molds, which left the edges, which
should have been Krooved, round and ,

gress without the hacking of ih re. . the lumberman, and the Philadelphia
doubtable "Bill" McMullen. of the
Kourth Ward There was much of real
affection In McMullen's regard for Ran
dall. The latter understood the fight
ing qualities of McMullen, and always
relied upon him for the practical politi
cal work he was capable of doing. The
case of Alfred C. Harmer, for some' time
Father of the House of Representatives,
and John Vlrdln. of the eighteenth
Ward, who was carried to his last rest
ing piace recently, was somewnat simi
lar. Vlrdln loved Harmer ns a son loves'
his father. The Congressman had ob
tained for Vlrdln his first political Job,
that of sparmaker at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard. Vlrdln subsequently organ
ized the A. C. Harmer Republican Club,
now one of the real attractions of proud
old Flshtojvn, and tragically enough, died
there "with his boots on," as it were,
advocating the sale of the third Liberty
I.oan. When Colonel Edward Morrell
came on to take the plae of the la
mented Harmer, Vlrdln turned In cheer
fully for the "coming guest," but
throughout his life no man In his pres
ence was permitted to speak of Harmer
except In the kindliest terms. Morrell
was another Congressman who was for
tunate In having behind him sincere and
loyal backers about whose work little
was known. John F. Cody, of Holmes
burg, was one of these. Major Thomas
S. Martin, secretary of the Falrmount
Commission, was another. It was Tom
Martin who quietly coached Morrell In
military tactics preparatory to his tak
ing over the command of the old Third
Regiment.
NOT much cotton duck is manufac
tured in Philadelphia, although we
have plenty of cotton mills capable of
making it. The Government needs much
of this commodity for the army and
navy, for tarpaulins, tents and uniforms.
Manufacturers In Massachusetts have of
fered to make all the cqton duck the
Government needs, but for some reason
or other these offers have not been ac
cepted. Hence a two days' fight in the
House over a bill to appropriate In the
aggregate more than $1,000. 000 for the
installation of machinery to start 600
looms In the Atlanta Penitentiary. Hu
manitarians said Ihese convicts should
be put to work at some useful occupa
tion. They objected to work upon roads
and Insisted that the convicts should be
paid in order to encourage them for the
future life. Supporters of free labor ob
jected to convicts displacing labor In the
mills. Men like George F. Hoffman and
Robert P. Hooper, of Philadelphia, were
consulted, but did not agree as to. the
wisdom or unwisdom of this legislation.
The' House passed the bill, supported
largely by southern votes. The Presi
dent also approved the bill, which Is un
derstood to be the entering wedge for
the Installation In all Federal peniten
tiaries of machinery for manufactuilng
purposes. The next move, It ls said, will
be made at the Leavenworth Peniten
tiary, where It ls proposed to set the
convicts at work manufacturing furni
ture. Colonel J, Warren Hutchlns, sec
retary of the Moyamenslng prison In
spectors, or Bob McKenty, warden of the
Eastern J?enitentlary, might do well to
keen track of this legislation. It also
deserves the attention of Philadelphia
manufacturers.

Officials nf the ship company Issued
notices to mariners to keep lookout for

known by scows' crews on the river, and
the search extended even out to sea
But the Baltimoie knew more than one
trick.
She turned submarine about a half
mile from the Cornwells pier that bad

the meantime officials of the ship com

TALKING MACHINE GIFT
TO ALLENTOWN SOLDIERS
Italians Make Presentation lo Country
men in U. S. Service at Camp
Crane
On the eve of Italy's entrance Into the
fourth year of the war 300 soldiers at
tached to Camp Crane, Allentown, were
presented with a talking machine by a
committee of representative Italians of
the city. Every one of the soldiers was
bornjn Italy, but upon the beginning of
the world's war became naturalized and
entered the military services of the
United States. They form a part of a
contingent which will soon leave for
Italy.
In presenting the machine to the sol
diers Constantino Constantlnl. a member
of the committee, exhorted the men to
valiant efforts, and told them they were
fighting not only for the United States,
but for the prolongation of Italy's sov
ereignty. Many of the officers from the camp
accompanied the soldiers to the city and
responded to addresses. Among the offl.
cers were Major Charles U. Weber. Cap
tain Daniel T. Wherrltt. Captain Francis
P. Todd and Lieutenants James Boyd,
Richard A. Fitzgerald, Ourney C. Teeter
and Rocco Xittell.
The committee In tharge of the occa
sion were Frank Cirelll, president of the
Clrelllsraph Company ; Antonino Clrcurl.
vice president of the company; Gindo
