SEVEN t S NAB BOGUS BILL BAND More Than Million Dollars in Counterfeit Seized By Se- i cret Service Men in Gotham Raid Three Held. NEW YORK, May 29. (Ex pertly "ounterf cited $10, $20 nntl $50 go. a certificates with a spuri ous value of more than a million dollars were seized yesterday with a large lithograph press by secret service operatives on an upper floor of a Brooklyn apartment house in Eighty-fifth street. Three men, caught in the act of operating the press, were arrested. Secret service men assigned to pur sue a tip on the counterfeiters located the plant and watched the operations of the hand from a room a block away. The raid was made by seven agents who rushed the apartment with drawn revolvers. They took I'ericle Mannerini, alleged head of the ring; Joseph de Negros, alHO known a-s Joseph Ross, alleged financier of the band and chief distributor of Its wares; and Mat tio Mattera, whom they identified as an expert engraver and litho grapher. . Money Still Wet L)lHiiy sheets of counterfeit notes were still wet from the presses. Each sheet contained $540 in bogus notes of all three denomina tions. The agents also-found spe cial paper ample for the printing uf $4,000,000 more In counterfeit money. The press, Allan G. Straight, chief of the secret service said, weighs 3.500 pounds and occupied the entire side of a wall. It was one of the largest ever seized and experts will be called to dismantle it. The three prisoners were locked in the customs house. They de clined to talk.

"Hespectuble statistical author ities have been quoted," the editor remarks, "and Imposing rows of figures have been cited, to support the accusation that The Digest did not furnish the dry states with ballot quotas nearly adequate to their population, judged by the quantities we mailed to the wet states, and by the total of our ballots. "Now let us examine the figures and compare them with our own, which aro complete and final. "We find in the first place the figures of our critics are based wholly on population statistics. This makes them misleading. The apportionment of Digest poll bal lots among the states Is governed by popular vote statistics in this case those of the presidential elec tion of 1H28. "The difference is quite impor tant. ' for the popular voting strength of some of the dry states is much smaller in proportion to population than that of the princi pal wet states." . Here The Literary Digest calls in Its statistical experts, and they present a table furnishing a direct answer to the charge that the wet states were favored. A study of it, says the editor, will show that it was really the dry states which accidentally got a slight excess of those coveted ballots. The table has eight columns of figures, but the meat of the cocoanut Is In the third, fourth, fifth and sixth. To quote: "In the third appears the 1928 popular vote by states, and In the fourth come the percentages of state popular votes to the country's popular vote. The fifth shows how The Digest's grand total of 20.227,370 ballots were apportion ed among the states, while the per centages of these state ballots to the total are shown In the sixth column." Turning then to the two percen tage columns, the fourth and sixth, we begin to get results thus: "Take the third state Alabama. In the fourth column wo find that the percentage of Its popular vote to the total popular vote of the nation Is O.C. while the sixth col umn reveals that Alabama received 1.04 per cent, of The Digest's bal lots. "Looks as if we had befriended Alabama. 1 "It's an amusing game to run down those fourth and sixth col jumns keeping one eye on each if I you can. and see how well or ill The Digest treated each state. Some, like Arizonu. Connecticut. Illinois, and Maine, come out pret ty evenly between the ballots they were entitled to and those we sent them. Minnesota's credit and debit are remarltably close. So are Ohio's. And Oklahoma's actually tally to the dot. "Hut Kansas, with only 1.93 per cent, of tho national popular vote, received 2.31 per cent, of the Digest ballots, wherewith to score the banner dry percentage of the poll. "Again we plead guilty to be friending the camel. But let's get down to Texas. "Texas is held up by prohibi tionist statisticians as a pathetic victim of Tho Digest's injustice. They point out that the Lone Star state, with a population almost half that of New York, received less than a fourth of Now York's quota of ballots. "Hut wc turn to the illuminating fourth and sixth columns of fig ures in our table and find that Texus In 1928 contributed only 1.92 per cent, of the nation's pop ular vote. Hence Its quota of 3.87 per cent, of Digest's ballots was more than generous. Really, it was awfully careless of us to send Texas so many! "Of course the explanation of why there is such a wide discrep ancy between tho population of Texas 5,487.000 and its popular vote 708,909 is that enormous blocks of its Inhabitants do not vote. These are chiefly Mexican peons and Negro luborers. They do not receive Digest ballots, which are aimed at a voting, reading, purchasing public." How about the populous antl prohlbltion states, such as New York The critics say they were unduly favored. The reply Is that New York In 1928 registered 12.11 per cent, of the country's vote, whereas The Digest gave it only 10.10 per cent, of the total number of ballots sent out. So the boot was on the other foot, and the "discrimination" was all against New York and In favor of Texas. The figures thus refuted were contained in u Washington dis patch relating that Floyd Neff, mathematician, of Philadelphia, had been quoted by the Mothodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals as saying that "4 7.91 per cent, of the votes of Tho Digest's poll were from New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois. New Jersey and Connecticut, having 28.66 per cent, of the nation's population."

The tariff truce conference of tin League of Nations was admit tedly ;i "fizzle" in so far hh It sought a tariff truce, but It planted seeds which Its sponsors hope will some day produce useful fruits In Ki-eater economic stability and world peace. Italy regurded It as of high im portance that tho Leaguo of Na t ions should establish closer co operation between Kuropean states and overseas countries whleh are Kreat producers of raw materials and foodstuffs. The Italian dele gation urged that the league's eco nomic committee undertake to de termine how this might be brought about. "In particular," said tho Italian proposal, "the committer should ascertain the component elements of the trade between Kurope and the Americas and other overseas countries on which the concession of reciprocal advantages might be bused." The spokesman of Premier Mus solini asserted that the absence from the conference of tho United States and other American govern ments was one reason why Italy could not support the proposal for an Immediate tariff holiday. The big need in Kurope as seen nt the league headquarters was to Kt governments to subscribe to some economic scheme, even If It were as simple and conservative as the multiplication table. This they have done. "We have taken a first hesitat ing step," said Count Moltke of Denmark, president of the confer ence. -"We have certainly done no more.
