"The first patients ' were' received by

eight months past there have been 17

COU.TTERFEITEfiS FI3!1T SHY
OF EXPOSITlOn CITY
Secret Service.-Agent Who , Ex
pected .to Find..' Extensive
Operations Is Surprised.
Counterfeiters have given Portland ' a
wide berth during the psst summsr, sl
though the treasury department at
Washington had feared that green goods
peddlers and makers of tin eoln would
flock here during the Lewis and Clark
exposition. Perhapa the ' counterfeiters
remembered St Loujs, where a large
number were arrested and convicted.
At the time the fair opened 8. A. Cou
ncil of i tbe secret service department
was sent to Portland to watch out for
spurious money. Connel! 'had been at
SL Louis during the exposition there
and had aided In the arrest of numerous
bad money-makers. He . came to the
Rose City prepared to wage a vigorous
campaign and met an agreeable surprise.
'Things have been like an unrippled
summer sea - during the past . few
months," said Connell this morning in
reviewing his season's toll. "I came
here expecting that there would be an
attempt made to pass a great deal of
bad money at the fair,, but such did not
prove the case. Only a very few coun
terfeit coins and bills were passed on
Portland people during the .summer so
few. In fact, that I could almost-- num
ber them on my fingers. The police ar
rested two-hoboes, Edward Burns and
P. J, Mulligan, aome time ago, who had
an outfit ao -crude that I am- almost
ashamed to bring the case tip in court.
"At BL Louis last summer we hsd a
great deal of trouble with counter
feiters and - arrested several. Among
those arrested were old man Rice and
his son, who were working the finest
money-making outfit I have ever seen
except In government mints. At ths
time of their arrest 'the pair had 1 500
In their room which they had Intended
to. pass within 10' days. Before their
arrest the Rices had psssed MOO in St
Louis. 1 do nit believe that there was
more than 121 In counterfeit money
passed In Portland during the summer. "
Connell was a. member, of the' secret
service squa'd that guarded President
Roosevelt when he visited Portland
three yeara ago. . . . - -
LAND FRAUD CASE
i; AFFECTS G. A. R.
' John L. Well haa been retired from
the office of adjutant-general of the O.
A. R., department of Oregon, and F. M
Stewart of Medford post has been ap
pointed to aerve in his place.
The change - resulted from ' the dis
closures in tba federal land fraud trial
of Thaddeus 8. Potter and Willard N.
Jones. It wss brought out that Wells
was the agent of Jones and Potter in
procuring old soldiers to mske falsa af
fidavits of residence on lands In ths
Bllets reserve- milch they sought from
the government " Adjutant Wells asked
the department to accept hla resigns
tton'and thus removed- the necessity of
taxing summary action.
F. M. Stewart, the new adjutant
served in the civil war with company
C oft the Fifty-fifth Illinois volunteers
and waa with hla regiment until it waa
mustered out in lilt.
The council of administration of the
department ' carefully examined the
books of the former adjutant, finding
everything in good condition.
Commander T. E. Hills haa received
from O. Salvers of Denver a number .of
bronse medals which hs has distributed
among members here. Mr. Salvers haa
