, CURRENCY, MAKERS
fDnlted Preaa Leased Wire.)
New Tork, Feb. 18. While the aud
ltors of tha Newfork Central railroad
are checking' up the currency notes
Issued i to employe. last fall as part
payment foe salaries, private detectives
are following a clue which they hope
will. lead, to the arrest of forgers who
have copied the notes and . circulated
false orders In . many cities between
. here and Chicago. ' .
Since January 1 tha employes of tha
road have been paid as they we ra be
fore the panic. At the - same time a
request was sent out that all notes be
returned to the company as soon as
possible; but no explanation was given
for the abandonment of the plans.
Officials of the treasury department
of the New York Central deny that the
company has been defrauded. In the
auditing department, however, it was
said the loss might, amount to many
thousand, of dollars when all tha notes
were checked off. One report says
1180,006 haa been lost. : . - - .
