Secret Service
Men Closing in
On Counterfeiters
Baud Found to Be Working
Extensively Through Ne
braska and Iowa Fed
eral Notes Raised.
Secret service operatives are grad
ually weaving a net around a band
of counterfeiters operating extensive
ly through Iowa and Nebraska.
Reports of the passing of raised
federal reserve notes in Des Moines,
Ottumwa, Keokuk, and Cliton, la.,
during the past week have necessi
tated immediate investigation by gov
ernment agents in that territory, ac
cording to D. W. Dickinson, secret
service operative in Omaha.
Mr. Dickinson may give up a trip
to Detroit, Mich., to take charge of
the situation tfl Iowa.
' Sleuth in Des Moines.
George Smith, secret service opera
tive, has been at Des Moines during
the past two days on investigation
of counterfeit notes' passed on several
banks in that city.
The counterfeit notes are simitar
to raised federal reserve notes
passed in Omaha recently, accord
ing to a report made by the Cen
tral State bank of Des Moines to
secret service officials in this city.
The notes are raised from $1 de
nominations to $10, and from $5 to
Z0.
Close on the heels of the finding
of 85 counterfeit silver dollars Sun
day in Jefferson Square, came re
ports of counterfeit notes in exten
sive circulation throughout the mid
dle west.
The secret service men's work
has carried them during the past
two weeks to small towns in South
Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. Trace
of the origin of the raised counter
feit notes leads to an eastern city,
according to Mr. Dickinson.

cording to information from he
secret service omce.
Work done on the raised notes
is that of an artist, examination
shows. Carefully clipped corners of
$10 notes are skillfully pasted on
notes of $1 denomination. In some
cases acid has been used to remove
lettering oirthe notes of smaller de
nomination and other lettering en
graved on them.
Sensation Expected. ,
Bits of sensational disclosures fol
lowed the appearance of fresh inves
tigators in the case. It was announced
that the American Railway associa
tion had assigned two men to inves
tigate the shipment of explosives to
nd from the wholesale establish
men of Singer, Schaeffer & Co., and
they were closeted with the city fire
marshal for nearly an hour. The men
five their names as E. J. League and
. 0. Beeser, the latter said to have
assisted in the investigation of the
Wall street explosion.
Later Shirley T. High, in charge
of the fire prevention bureau, said
his office had located William Singer
and Nathan Schaeffer. members of
the firm, who the police could not
find after the explosion. ,
& coys Identified by Kidnaped
School Editor Are Expelled
Identified by John McGee, editor
of the Council Bluffs High School
Echoes, as two of the boys who
kidnaped him last week. Richard
Capell and Gregory Ouren. two
students, have been suspended by
Principal G. W Kirn. This is taken
as the first definite . action of the
school authorities against alleged
existing high school fraternities in
the -Bluffs, supposedly exposed by
anonymous letters bearing the sig
nature, "Ku Klux Klan." .McGee is
a "barbarian" and is said to' have
opposed the "frats" . in editorials
which are blamed for his kidnaping
experience.

Home Consumption Crops
Being Planted by Farmers
A. P. Rhodes came in from Ham
ilton county with two carloads of
cattle. He said farming in his sec
tion was pretty welt advanced and
that the recent rain and hail had
not retarded farming operations.
"Plowing is earlier" than I have
seen it in many years and the con
sensus of opinion is that there" will
be big crops put in this spring for
home consumption rather than for
the market. Cattlemen of both Ham

Optimism for the business of the
country as a whole and for Omaha
in particular was the theme fol
lowed by Ward Burgess, of the
Burgess-Nash stores and president
of the M. E. Smith company, in
his talk on "Business Conditions of
Today" at the regular meeting of
the Omaha Rotary club in the Rome
hotel yesterday.
Mr. Burgess is just back froman
extensive trip through the east, dur
ing which time he discussed busi
ness conditions with leading bank
ers, financiers and business men of
the country, as well as with the
cabinet members of the new ad
ministration. Mr. Burgess cited facts and fig
ures to support his optimistic view
of the situation. He derided the
business pessimists and showed
conclusively where they have no
ground on -which to stand.
In the last 12 months, no city in
America has made the business
strides that may be attributed to
Omaha, he declared, and cited the
arowth of his own firm, the M. E.
Smith company, as a specific ex
ample of this.
Tine or 10 years ago. this firm
opened a small factory at Ninth" and
Farnam streets, for the manufacture
of women's garments. ''
Today this factory manufactures
garments of all kinds.iie explained,
and in the women's wear'departmsnt
alone more than $3,000,000 annual
business is being done with the de
partment oversold.
These Omaha made goods which,
it was claimed several years ago,
could never be exploited in the east
ern markets, are now to be had in
any of the Jeading department stores
of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia
and Washington, he stated.
