Stamp Quarry Located and
Shack Is - Stormed.
SA.V FRANCISCO, Jan. 15. The most
complete coin counterfeiting outfit that
has ever fallen Into the hands of the
Federal authorities was captured here
by Secret Service men this afternoon
and with it three men were arrested.
The Secret Service men admit the
seizure and arrests are of great Im
portance and the result of concerted ef
fort in following trails leading: in many
directions.
Tho plant was ' located in a lonely
shack on the rocky summit of Bernal
Heights, the highest hill in the city,
and was captured after a spectacular
assault. Secret Service Operatives
Harry Moffit and J. M. Nye were on
the sace and after definitely locating
their qunrry. they called-City Detec
tives lteaKan and O'Connell to their
iid.
Men Seen ta Kilter Shack.
l-ast nigrht the detectives on watch
in the shrub-covered rocks saw four
of the men they had marked enter the
shack, but the attack was deferred In
the hope that other members of the
(fang might come to cover.
Theyw ere disappointed in this, and
late this afternoon Chief Operative
Moffit decided to acr. Creeping on
hands and knees the four officers ap
' proached the shack and on signal made
a rush, but the house was well marri
caded and they were compelled to batter-
an entrance with an an. While
they were breaking In the doors, one
member of the gang ascaped, making
hi way down a cliff on the brink of
which the cabin stands.
) Assumed Xames Given.
Tho three men arrested grave their
names as Michael Angi lo, Samuel Di Cola
and Samuel Arn-.an. These are J-obably
assumed names and there is reason to be
lieve that at least two of the prisoners
are important captures. After securing
their prisoners, the officers examtned the
plant which filled the little hut, and were
astounded at its completeness and the
mechanical excellence of the machinery.
It was a miniature mint. They found, al
most perfect dies for every cgin from 10
cents to $10 and lathes, saws, stamps and
other accessories of the finest workman
ship. ,
Stamp Too Heavy for Hand Use.
The stamps are paid to be of almost
the same pattern as those used In the
United States mints. The largest stamp
was so massive 1t could not be car. d
into the Federal building.. It Is too pow
reful for hand operation and probably
fearing the noise of a motor or other
power engine, the gang had devised and
installed a complicated and ingenious sy
tem of lever and graduated weights,- ap
plied by a long steel beam. No coins or
metal were found, for the raid was timed
just before the plant was to have been
placed in operation.
Clew Long Followed.
It Is understood the clew followed by
the Secret Service operatives began with
the purchase of the big stamp and has
. lven followed for months. Theyefuse,
however ,to say where the stamp was
bought. . !
"Coins from dies identical with those
we have here," said one of the officers,
"flre now In circulation in the East and
may have been made with this machine.
This gang 4s pribably part of a country
wide organization."
MANY REPUBLICANS MEET
I'ecullnr Coincidence In Visit of
Tarty Leaders to Portland.
Prominent politicians from all sec
tions of the state, a few of them office
holders or aspirants for office,
thronged the lobby of the Imperial
hotel late yesterday afternoon, sug
gesting: the near approach of a legis
lative session. None of the gathering:
would admit that the congregating of
so many Republicans had any signifi
cance, each maintaining that he had
,1ust "happened" in the city for an over
Sunday visit.
The following are among the well
known Republicans who were seen In
the lobby simultaneously: Governor
Benson, Jay Bowerman, State Senator
and President of the Oregon Senate
last Winter; C. N. McArthur, Represen
tative from Multnomah and Clackamas,
Speaker of the House at 1909 session
and private secretary to Governor Ben

Scales at one time is said to have
been carrying 700,000 bales of cotton.
A good part of this cotton, as well as
that held by other bull leaders, . was

understood that Brown and Haynes, of
New Orleans, have patched up their
lifCerences with Scales. Both were
neavy buyers this morning.
"Chicago Jim" Patten, the other
member of the "big four," arrived here
today from Chicago. He refused to dis-.

Africa Planned by Nobleman.
LONDON, Jan. 15. (Special.) The
Duke of Connaught has made definite
arrangements to leave England for
East Africa, where he proposes to
make an extended . tour through the
British protectorate. It is understood
that, on arrival at Mombasa, his Royal

Journey in all probability en route in
order to enjoy some big game shooting
in the dense forest country which ad
Joins the railway.
The Duke will be accompanied by a

extend over a period of several months.

whip with which a Buffragist assaulted
Winston Churchill on his recent visit to
Bristol waa produced in Bristol Police
Court on an application to restore it to

Leeds. The magistrates were Informed
that great value was now attached to
the whip, which was of historic inter
est. 1
It had been handed by Mr. Churchill
to the police. The Chief Constable said
there was no doubt the whip would be
used for the improper purpose of ex
citing already excited people.
The magistrate ordered tha whio to
ba destroyed.

KING SIMPLE
Leopold, Denuded of Pomp, Is
Shown in New, Light.
LONGED TO RULE FRANCE
Ruler Was Also Great Friend of
Children, and Was Called by In
timate Members of ... Family
"Old St. Nicholas."
BRUSSELS, Jan. 15. (Special.) Now
that King Leopold Ls dead, much is being
said and written about his life, his eccen
tricities and his habits. What was the
man like, when all pomp and parade had
been thrown off? A celebrated writer of
Paris relates several Instructive anec
dotes on this subject. The King would
devote the whole day to business, and
even when he was quietly installed in the
little salon at the Chateau de Balincourt,
it was not' quite over. Resuming his con
versation of the previous day with the
Baroness Vaughan, he would still discuss
figures. She would tactfully suggest some
profitable transaction, while he would lis
ten smilingly and finally agree. Some
times, however, they would differ.
One day, when he had bought a pic
ture by Stevens for $4000 with a view to
selling it advantageously, the Baroness
offered him $6000. The monarch refused.
No business is to be done with people
with whom one is closely connected, and
Leopold knew, only too well 1 that ha
would pay the difference. But the next
day he gallantly presented her with the
Chateau of Balincourt and its furniture,
certain articles which had cost more than
$20,000.
His great affection for France was
often remarked, and once when the late
King and the Baroness Vaughan were ad
miring a beautiful Summer evening while
they were at the Chateau, he suddenly
exclaimed: "My greatest happiness would
have been to govern France!"
Great Friend of Children.
Sometimes the two children would burst
into the drawing-room and greet the King
with '"Bonjour, Sa!ntN Nicolas!" As his
pockets were usually stuffed on such oc
casions with toys and sweets, they re
garded him, with his long white beard, as
a veritable Santa Claus. He would romp
with them for hours, and when they had
gone off to bed the phonograph would be
brought out. What tunes? The "Brahan
conne?" No; the "Biniou," the favorite
air of the Bretons in exile.
The King would stroll about the
grounds In a straw hat whichhad done
duty for years. But one day the Baron
ess bought a new hat, and substituted it
for the old one. Leopold flew into a
rage, but she calmed him by explaining
a pious fraud that she committed, having
procured the hat as a bargain, at a quar
ter of its real cost. In the Winter the
King usually wore an ancient kepi of the
Civic Guard, with its lining, and badges
gone.
He only changed his pocket handker
chief on Sunday mornings, to go to mass.
Tha devil would not have got him to take

Local Applications

A Fair and Faultless Complexion Is
Gained Only by Purifying the Blood.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Calcium
Wafers Sent Fret.
The" best and only permanent colors
of the face are those which Nature
herself , paints thereon, not on the sur
face of the skin, but down underneath
the cuticle, and which can be supiied
only by a strong current of pure, -Tch,
red blood constantly flowing - through
the capillaries, or super&cial blood ves
sels in such a way as to maintain a
perfect condition of the skin, with the
pores entirely unclogged by . foreign
or effete matter of any kind.
It is impossible to estimate the num
ber'of dollars vearJy wasted through
the vain and foolish attempts of peo
ple to rid their faces of pimples,
blotches, blackheads, and other facial
blemishes, by using salves, ointments,
lotions, cold creams, etc., to say noth
ing of the widespread use of facial
massage, both manual and electrical,
by which they attempt to coax the
thin and sluggishly flowing blood to
the cheeks, in order to give them a
rosy and healthy appearance; and al
though, by such methods, they may
succeed in drawing the blood there
temporarily, they cannot keep it there
permanently, as only Nature can odo
that, and in half an hour or so later,
the massaged cheeks are as pallid as
before.
The "skin food" fallacy is 'another
one of the many foolish fads of the
day. The skin has no more power
of absorption than a rubber coat, and
is simply an "envelope" over the mus
cular system for the protection of the
body, and is intended to keep things
out, not to admit anything. The epi
dermis, or outer skin, is constantly
peeling off. The epithelial cells drop
away, carrying with them the .things
which have been applied to the skin.
The akin cannot be fed from tho out
side, and nothing ot a nutritious. 'heal
ing or fat-producing character can be
introduced through it, so that the time
and money , spent on so-ialled "skin
foods" are simply wasted, for such
treatment is contrary to Nature, and
the skin, like every other organ of
the body, must receive its nutriment
from the inside.
If your complexion is full of pimples,
blackheads, "liver spots," or blotches,
don't waste time on local treatment,
but purify the blood thoroughly, and
these blemishes will quickly depart.
STUART'S CALCIUM WAFERS are
getting excellent results in curing all
skin and blood diseases, and not only
do they rid the blood of all impurities,
but also build it up and strengthen and
increase the blood current, making the
cheeks rosy, removing pallor and
wrinkles, and causing the whole coun
tenance to fairly beam' with superb
health.
Secure" a box of these blood-purifying
and complexion-clearing wafers for 50c
and make your skin smooth, rosy and
free from blemishes and wrinkles. Also

j another in the interval. . He scolded his
, valets when they changed his towels
more than once a week, and when the
Baroness expressed surprise he would
say, "Don't worry about me. This aii
imal has some breeding after all."
His droam would have been to live on
20 francs a day. "Alas, a King can't do

Balincourt $240,000 on her birthday and
$200,000 as a New Tear's present.
The King disliked exceedingly the at
tentions of inquisitive people. Writing to
a friend in Paris, he said: "You see me
no more in our beloved Paris, and it is
not illness that has interrupted my walks.
I am a victim of great, sometimes Ill-natured,
but in no case French, curiosity,
as it is without gallantry to the Sover
eign who has so long loved Paris. If the
newspapers merely related adventures
which I have never experienced, encore!
But I am represented in ridiculous, or
even Ignoble attitudes. These people seem
to set themselves to rendering me odious
to the Parisian, unless their object is to
make Paris odious to me. -
"But I no longer go about the town on
foot. I have given up the long strolls
from which my mind and my eyes de
rived some amusement. I am condemned
to the carriage, and to the closed car
riage, like an old lady. Couldn't a King,
as a good neighbor, have been allowed to
walk about as he pleased? I only aaked
not to hanjper the traffic. And T didn't
cause carriages to be stopped 40 minutes
in the Champs Elysees for me to pass
along at the end of that time."
KAISER NOT TEETOTALER
German. Emperor, However, Doe3
Not Believe in Excessive Drinking.
BERLIN, Janl. 15. (Special.) Ger
mans exhibit no prudishness with regard
to drink, and the drink trade, and accord
ingly the announcement that the Ger
man Emperor is the owner of five shares
of the prosperous Municipal . Lager Beer
Brewery, at Hanover, passes without
comment. The circumstance, however,
serves to revive Interest in the story
that His Majesty had become a total
abstainer. There is, of course, not the
slightest foundation for this assertion.
If any direct contradiction of it were
necessary, it would be supplied by the
advertising matter of the Furstenberg
brewery, an immense establishment in
the. Black Forest, owned by the Emper
or's bosom friend. Prince Max Egon zu
Furstenberg. "Table drink of His Maj
esty, the German Emperor," Is the legend
emblazoned on every bottle of Fursten
berg. The Kaiser continues to drink light
wines and German beer in the same mod
erate quantity to which he has always
been accustomed no more, no less. He
indulges occasionally, too. in a specially
made non-alcoholic champagne. For tho
inculcation of temperate habits in his
Army the Emperor never tires of work
ing. It is due to his personal initiative
that tea has become popular as a can
teen drink, although his hope that it
might altogether supplant beer isnot
destined to be realized.. -
GHOST HAS MANY HANDS
New Mystery Discovered Roaming
About French. Countryside.
PARIS, Jan. 15. (Special) On cer
tain milestones in lonely roads of the
Loire at nightfall sits a tired nun, it
ls said, and carters driving or laborers
trudging by stop to ask if they can do
anything for her. She begs for a lift
or an arm, but no sooner have they
helped her up than her enormous hairy
hand grasps beneath her gown what
seems suspiciously like a stout shille
lagh. Carters immediately , whip up,
and laborers run. '
This strange and dreadful nun has
appeared to lozens of villagers, and
the countryside is terror-stricken. Is
the creature a ghost, or Is it a highway
robber in nun's clothing? A boy who
has met her. him. or It. inclines to the
latter belief, because, when he offered
to help the nun on the road, the sup
posed wraith suddenly whacked him
on the head with a club and then, when
he took ixia legs, skllXully tbiew
I -.Xs ' as i ' , A
Grant Phcgley 9
.
Catalan knife, .which struck in the
fleshy: part of one -of them. . . ,
On the o.ther . hand, why the deadly
nun should io all these things does not
appear, for she never takes anything'.
Anyhow the tale is a good one to tell
over cottage fires at midnight, when
the logs are burning low and the 'wind
whistles outside.
HEAD ACHE? GET RUN OVER
fcarls Woman Finds New Itelief
From Intense Suffering.
PARIS, Jan. 15. (Special.) The
latest "cure" has , been discovered by
a lady in the Champs Elyssees. It is a
cure for head-aches, and consists in
being run over by a motor-car. She
had left her house with a frightful
headache, so severe that she could not
stand it, and sought relief by walking
in the open air. It was due probably tc
her intense suffering that she did not
see a motor-car in the Champs Elyssees,
or hear the horn blown frantically by
the chauffeur.
The car threw her down and one of
the wheels went over her legs. The
chauffeur and spectators thought that
she was killed, or at least seriously
hurt, but the lady stood up, turned to
the driver, and said:
"Thank you, this has cured my head
ache." She was really pleased and
went away delighted at the cure.
