_ _ „„ • 1 • of the well known remedy,
Washington, Jan. 5.— Ike officials
of the secret service of the treasury de
partment, under the direction or Chief
Wilkie, made a number of highly im
portant arrests in New York last night
and this morning For ut least two
months the secret service people have
been at work to ditcover the makers of
a large number of all silver counterfeit
coins, mostly quarters and halves,which
were being freely circulated in New
York city. The result has been that
Pio Paris and several companions, all
Italians, were arrested and are now in
jail awaiting the application of the
United States commissioner, who prob
ably will be taken today. The fact that
large numbers of these all silver coun
terfeits were being freely circulated in
Now York during the last two years lias
given Chief Wilkie a groat deal of
trouble. The coins being of almost pure
silver, 000 tine, and fairly well made,
they readily passed wherever presented
and rendered extremely difficult the
task of locating the makers and passers.
Some time ago two Italians called on
Platt & Co., of Gold street, New York,
largo dealers in sheet silver and gold,
and purchased 1,000 ounces of sheet sil
ver. One of the men was observed at
the time of the purchase to compare one
of the sheets with a coin which he took
from his pocket, probably with a view
of determing whether the sheet was of
the same thickness as the coin he had in
his possession. This circumstance was
made known to the secret service offi
cials by Platt & Co., aud a force was
immediately sot to work upon this new
lead. Prom the fact that the men took
away only a small part of the purchase,
it was assumed they would shortly re
turn for the rest. After a time the two
men again appeared aud took away an
other small quantity to 111 Mangin
street, on the east side of New York.
Well Kqulppcd Plant.
From there they were shadowed to 95
Watt street. Detectives were put to
work to observe every move made by
the people who frequented these houses
with the result that their lodging places
were discovered aud the fact established
beyoud doubt that at both of these num
bers work was being actively carried ou.
Yesterday morning one of the roomers
in the Magin street house became supi-
cipus that the men on the floor below
were doing some sort of crooked work
and he at once notified a policeman on
that beat of bis suspicions, which fact
came near rendering ineffective all the
work that bad been done.
, The policeman’s unsuccessful attempt
to pain admittance to the house aroused
their suspicious aud nil precipitately fled
tp the Watt street place, carrying with
them many of their dies, coins aud
blanks. _ . , .
The secrot service officials, realizing
the danger of further delay, immedi
ately forced an entrance into both the
honses, where they foufid several of the
men, eight in all, at work. Both lipases
were fully equipped with modern ma
chinery for rolling silver, punching
blanks, etc. Ill one of the places a screw
press weighing 3 tons was in operation.
About l'K) ounces of silver aud quite
a large basket full of steel dies were se
cured. Slimy of the dies, however, had
been so mutilated as to bo beyond use.
It seemed that as soon as the policeman
had given the alarm the counterfeiters
began to file away the dies to prevent
them from being used as evidence.
Chief Wilkie said toduy that this
gang probably was responsible for at
least 80 per cent ot all the silver counter
feits which have been put in circulation
in New York during the last two years.
