Acting Polico Captain John Xoon was
sllghtlx injured yesterday when the side

wns struck by nn automobile at lirond
nnd Filbert streets. He wus token to
the Hahnemann Hospital.
Three men were arrested enil today
by United Stntes secret scrvjee opera
tives in connection with the counterfeit
ing of United States internal revenue
stamps.
According to William II. Houghton,
locnl chief of the secret service; Phila
delphia long hns been believed to he
tlio headquarters of n gang of counter
feiters who were spreading bogus rev
enue stamps ull over the country.
One of the three men was unrated
when ho was entering the little print
shop where the federal agents say the
stamps were counterfeited. The others
were aroused from their beefs at home.
All three were lodged in City Hall mid
later taken to the federal building for
n hearing this afternoon before United
Stntes Commissioner Mauley.
The men under nrrcst nre Mlchncl

Houghton and Operatives Hud;, Allen,

"Three months ngo," sold Chief
Houghton todny, "ivh were warned to
ba on guard for fake revenue stamps.
These were 'bottled In bond' stnmns.

being used extensively to camoullage

It had been bottled under government
supervision mid wus the genuine
article.
A good many signs pointed to Phila
delphia ns tlio point of manufacture of
the counterfeit labels. We found they
were being distributed by n man who
then lived in New York. Wc nrrcsted
kXathnn Ilrotsky last night as this man.
"e watched tne man we believed
wus the distributor of the labels for
some weeks. We knew that he had
mad" tilps to Philadelphia, and we
found he visited the print shop at 50!)
Pine street, of which we believe Fox
and Uordcn ijre the proprietors. On one
occasion we saw him take into the shop
and carry away again n dress suitcase.
I.ttso nignt, wnen tne snop was
closed, we wcrit tiiero with n search

was going into the plnce, and about to
walk upstairs.
"We hrrested him and sent him off
to City llnll while wo searched. Wu
found n great quantity of the counter
feit stamns- which wc seized."
The investigation of tho "buslneis of
counterfeiting "bottled in bond" Htnmns
lis being made nationwide, said Chief
Houghton, but indications are that it is
centered in this city. The ijtnnips seized
nt the Pine street shop weie dated
"1010."
Chief Houghton is working on an In
vestigation of the sale of empty whisky
bottles nlso. He says it has been the
practice of moonshincis to buy these
bottles and the counterfeit stamps, using
the two to turn out a product that Is
always poor and often dangerous, which
they enn sell as genuine liquor of high
grade at n fancy price.
