Detectives Kept on Alert to Cope With Clever and Brainy Schemes for Passing Illegal Money—The King of Counterfeiters, There is an old story which will bear telling again as it illustrates go well the disadvantages to be over come In a new country. It is of an American traveling in England who, when out walking one day stopped in horses could haul a profitable load to frent of an old English mansion to ad- market, mire it and its surroundings.

This has been a bad year for erimi- nals. This statement Is based on data brought out at the convention of the Police Chiefs Association of New York | State, an address delivered by tho § president of the International Associa | tion of Police Chiefs amd by the operations of the var leus police bureaus of the United States govern: ment. The secret service division of the Treasury alone caused the arrest of 532 persons charged with serious] crimes. Of those taken into custedy forty-one were arrested for counter-| feiting the currency, fifty-two for mak-| ing alterations in the currency, 344 for counterfeiting cein and the remainder for various vielations of the United States statutes, Of the 532 alleged of- | fenders, 392 were native Americans, | forty-two were Italians (some of whom were naturalized) amd thirteen were Austrians, The largest number of ar-| | rests were made in Pennsylvania where {those apprehended numbered ninety. | four. New York fellowed with seventy- seven arrests, Ohio with thirty-five, California with twenty-nine, Missour} with twenty-three and in the remaining instances every state and territory with the exception of Alaska was represent ed As compared with last year there was a decrease In the amount of count- erfeit currency seized by gevermment officers and an increase in the amount of counterfeit coin confiscated.

The American agreed with him that the process was simple, and then asked, “How Jong will 1 have to do this before the lawn is like that one?’ The old gardener again spoke doubt- fully, but finally gave it as his opinion that If his directions were followed for anywhere from fifty to a hundred years the results would be all that could be desired. This same idea might also apply to the rods and bridges throughout Eng. land, for mach of their excellence Is due to the fact that thelr foundations were lald scores of years ago and generation after generation of work- ers has been tinkering at them ever since. In fact, the roads bulit by the Romans now serve as the foundationg for some of the best xnown English highways, and to the south of Lon dom, east and west through the beaut! ful county of Surrey there is a road now greatly patronized by the owners of motor ears which In its beginning was the highway beaten hard by the sandaled feet of the early Britons as they toiled to the east coast Wales with thelr back-breaking bur. dens of tin.
