KOYtR SCORES GOVERNOR ot Sars Chief Executive Has X Been Fair In Leaving Miners to the Mercy ot Their Enemies. Denver, July 29. The Nevra today prints the following: from an interview with President Charles H. Moyer of the 'Western Federation of Miners, wbe is here to confer with officials of that organization. "It Is time to call out the troops stgafii to protect our men in the Crip pie Creek district. There is no legal authority there now. The sheriffs officers cannot control things. A mob controls and our men are being sub Jeeted to whltecappings, whippings and every sort of brutal treatment' said Mr. Moyer. "If the governor had wanted to be fair he would ended mar tial law, withdrawn the troops and left, say 50 soldiers there to deal im partially with all violators of the law, Instead of that he withdrew all the troops and left the commission and mob In control, leaving our helpless men to the mercy of that mob. He simply Indorses the mob, asks us to all off the strike and will not allow or men to go back. To call the strike off would be to acknowledge that we were wrong; that the treat ment we had received was right, and that we got what was due us. "The governor ignores the real Is aoe. He asks that we call off the strike because he has called off the military and then let the people de ede who is right If the people were to decide that the governor's military policy was right that would not settle a single -question at issue. Let the governor, the mine owners and the Citizens Alliance submit the questions that coused us to strike the eight heat day and the right to Organize. V fee had asked for a decision on these questions, I might have called ft the strike. "We have not yet taken up the mat er of calling off the strike but I do not see why it should be called off. If It was just in the beginning, It is Just now and its continuance is Just Tie governor and his adjutant-general omwict themselves. They have been saying that the strike was over, yet they ask us to call off the strike which they say does not exist "But I believe that our men will go back anyhow. If thy do go back, unarmed and peaceable, as they would go, the governor will have a chance to haw the people whether he is fair or ot HAD SWALLOWED A PENNY. Girl Supposed to Have Had Consump tion Is Recovering. Boston, July 29. After years of suf fering from an illness which several physicians said was consumption. Miss Iva Blakeman, 23 years of age, of New on Upper Falls, has coughed up i jenny, and her health is rapidly im proving. When the girl was recovering from dfphtheria 15 years ago she swal lowed the penny. She fell ill about five years ago and the physicians di agnosed her case as consumption. Miss Blakeman was seized with a particu Jarly violent coughing spell a few days ago and In an effort to prevent her tieS from coughing thrust her finger down her throat. The next Instant she withdrew her hand and up came the penny. TO PUNISH MILK DEALERS. State Authorities After Men Who Se Impure Article. Philadelphia, July 29. To punish adequately unscrupulous dealers who have adulterated milk and caused the death of a number of babies in the western part of the state, It is de elaraf by an officer of the dairy and feed" eemmlBsion that future prosecu tions would not end with fines, but would" be extended to Indictment and trial by jury on the charge of invol untary manslaughter. It will not be necessary to obtain new legislation for this proceeding, as the present laws make the dealers amenable to punish ment for manslaughter. IMITATING SMALL COINS, ne of Most Annoying Practices for Government Men. One would naturally think that the profit from the counterfeiting ot pen nles would b so small that no one would engage in the work, yet this business Is one of the chief annoyances of the government secret service. It Is stated that in one month 10.86$ bad pennies were found In the New Tork sub-treasury, evidence that some coiners have directed their attention to it The manufacture of a penny costs the government one-fifth of a cent. The counterfeiter does It as cheaply, or at a lUtle lower figure. Al most any copper disk of the proper else will pass muster, so that the Imi tation of this coin Is easier and the passing of it attended with less risk than making and "shoving the queer" In larger denominations. But penny counterfeiting has the drawback to the criminal of smaller returns and the penalty attached is Just as heavy if he Is convicted. The government does a big business In pennies In the east but has much less demand for them from the west Over 1,000,000 one cent pieces are sorted out In an aver age year In the New Tork sub-treas ury. One man will count 60.000 a day, throwing out the bud ones. One day's record of bad coppers discovered by one handler of cents was 1,250. Counterfeiting stamps, chiefly of the 2-cent denomination, figures next after the manufacture of spurious pennies In the "notion" branch of the bad money business. Some stamp coun' terfelting has been notably successful Kendig and Jacobs, two notorious crooks, are believed to have sold $200, 000 worth of bad stamps before the secret service men ran them to earth. Then it was through branching out into the field of paper money that these men came to grief. They went from 2-cent stamps to bills of larger de nominations. They were caught In time to prevent the completion of a scheme which intended putting Into circulation $10,000,000 In bad money, and their work was so skillful that detection of their paper was difficult Besides, the turning out of pennies and stamps a third oddity ot modern counterfeiting is the manufacture of good dollars that are bad. That is, the counterfeiter turns out a silver dollar that contains as much, If not more, silver than the coin approved by Uncle Sam and placed In clrcula tion from his mints. There is still a profit for the counterfeiter, because the value of the silver In a silver dot lar ranges between 50 and 60 cents, according to the market It has been 40 cents. The balance In value lies In Uncle Sam's credit The counterfeiter takes the Mexican silver dollar, melts it and recoins it with Uncle Sam's flat forged thereon. Chinamen developed this scheme. Mexican dollars circulate extensively through the celestial empire. Some of the "heathen" evolved the notion of taking this collateral out of a bear little manipulation on the silver and alloy contained therein. But the secret service men checked this operation before the profits be came extensive. From the careful statistics they have collected the secret service men est! mate that any man can make more money working at $1.50 a day, or less, than through the most successful ca reer he may hope for as a counter. feiter. The best of them, considering the years devoted to their business, the time out of that spent in Jail, and the value received which has been actually returned on their Investment of time and skilled labor of the high est order, have enjoyed less average prosperity, have had less money to spend year In and year out,, than the poorest paid clerk In a department store. To secure this small return they have devoted brains and talent that would have furnished them with a generous income in almost any kind of business. Veteran counterfeiters whom the se cret service men have placed behind the bars have always Insisted that there was no real profit In counterfeit ing for the criminal There is an ex-newspaperman In Washington who is chiefly responsible for this condition of affairs in the United States. This is Chief Wllkle, head of the secret service. And It is a "secret service." His men perform miracles; they do work which Conan Doyle could credit to Sherlock Holmes to the Increase of that great charac ter's reputation, but no one hears much about it. They receive from $3 to $7 per day and expenses. They collect Information after a fashion simply marvelous. But no one will ever know how it is done, because that wouW defeat their ends. In recent cases it has developed that they could lay their hands on the secret figures of private bank accounts, that they could pro duce a schedule of the contents of a suspect's safety deposit box. To "swap horses while crossing a stream" would be about as wise as to ivert any part of your advertising ppropriation to uncertain mediums...
