Sl'URlOCS -NOTE ALAiiMS.
I Widespread Warnings to Publv Wore
Issned by Chief of the Secret Service
Flynn.
Washington, Dec. 30.?Alarm seized
officials of the United States Treasury
today upon the discovery of a re- j
markable counterfeit five-dollar silver |
certificate, the most dangerous imita- '
tion of American currency since the j
famous "Monroe head" one-usmJnv j
dollar bill, which was suppressed in \
1908.
So nearly perfect is this spurious
rote that officials of the cash roo.. .
of the treasury declared it was genuine
and unswervingly held to their belief
that it was a washed n 3te. Her- I
man Moran, assistant chief of the!
United States Secret Service, detected !
Blight variations from the original,
however and stamped it unquaiiacdlv
as a counterfeit.
The note is 30 dangerous that it
was brought to the personal ittention
of Secretary M&cVeagh and Robert 0.
Bailey, Assistart Secretary of the
treasury.
In the case of the "Monroe head"
bill, the whole issue was withdrawn
from circulation because of the dangerous
imitation. It will hardly be
practicable to resort to this precaution
in connection with the new coun-;
tarfeit because the five-dollar "Indian
head" silver certificate is so generally t
in circulation.
The counterfeit ^as discovered in
New York City where two specimens
were obtained by the Secret Service.
Treasury officials have undertaken to
investigate the extent of its circulation !
"which as yet is unknown.
Widespread warning to the public {
were issued today by W. J. Flynn,
chief of the Secret Service. The im- ;
perfections of the note are detectable
only to the eye of an expert with the
aid of glass. Apparently it is printed
on two pieces of paper between which
silk threads have been distributed.!
The number of the specimen which !
reached Secret Service headquarters is
E. 69421159.
CHECK FOR $1,074,m
Payment for Postal Savings Bonds
Made by Hitchcock.
Washington, December 31.?A check
for 1,074,980 was sent to-day to the
Treasurer of the United States by
Postmaster General Hitchcock in payment
for postal savings bonds of th-3
last issue, which have been applied for
by depositors in the postal savings

been, issued twice a year since July 1,
1911, and postal savings depositors
have subscribed for a total of $2,389,120,
of the four issues.
Over four-fifths of the amount of the 1
last issue of bonds are in the registered
form. Postoffice officials state that
this indicated they have been pur- j
chased for permanent investment. Depositors
in Ohio took $194,440 worth of
the last bond issue, or nearly one-fifth
of the total. New York, Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, Missouri and Michigan
depositors applied in each case for
from $40,000 to $50,000 worth o" the
bonds. The reports to the postoffice
indicate a heavy increase in the number
of bonds subscribed for in these
States, and in California, Illinois and
Indiana.
The bonds, drawing 2 1-2 per cent.,
are open to purchase only by deposi- '
tors in the postal banks.
CHICOKA WILL NOT BE MOYED.
Greenville Will Remain the Home of
Presbyterian School for Girls.
Chicora college will remain at j
Greenville. This was decided Tuesday j
when the hoard of trustees of that iiL-1
stitution met in Columbia at the Co-,
lumbia Theological seminary <td can- j
vass the vote of the seven presbyteries
of South Carolina synod.
.
This ends, at least for the present, j
the proposed plan to move Chicora to,
Laurens. The matter has been before
the Presbyterians this State for
some time. Last fall it was decided
to keep the college at Greenville, after
which the matter was reopened and
the vote of presbyteries taken. The
meeting Tuesday was to receive these
votes and for the board to take such
action as it saw fit.
Blease Be-Furnishes Offices. \
Columbia, D?c. 31.?The governor!
this afternoon bought a new desk for
his office, replacing the desk which,
was bought by former Governor Mc-1
Sweeney and used by every governor j
since. The old desk was taken out
and turned over to Private Secretary
Aull, who will use it. The governor
also purchased a lounge for his office
instead of the one formerly there, j
which is said to have been bought byGen.
Hampton when governor.
This purchase this afternoon makes*:
complete the new furnishing of the
executive office by Governor Blease,:
CAM) FKOJI 31K. H. (. TILLMAN.
(iives Different Version of Delivery of
Children to Brother.
To the Editor of the News and Courier:
I have seen the story published
in Thursday's Record and Friday's
News and Courier with reference to
the Tillman children. I have made it
my rule to practice law in the courts
and not in the newspapers, and it is
my habit to ignore newspaper articles
which reflect on me or my family. But
this story is so full of error and falsehood
that I can not allow it to go uncorrected.
The Tillman family has too
many friends in South Carolina and
our affection for these little children
is such that it would be unfair to allow
them to be used as an instrument
with which to put us in a false light.
From the beginning the desire of the
Tillmans has been to avoid as far as
possible all publicity or notoriety in
this matter. The young lives of these
children have already been crossed by
too many shadows for them now to be
made the target of misrepresentation
or slander. When Mr. DePass, representing
Mrs. Dugas, and I, representing
my brother, had our conference in
Columbia about ten days ago, he expressed
the fear that the children
would refuse to go to Trenton and
would create a scene. In view of the
sworn statement of Mrs. Dugas that
she had not taught the children to
hate their father or his people L
thought the fears of Mr. DePass unfounded
and told him so. Shortly afx
^ - J ^ T r. 1 rvf f frAm
ttl waius i- lCUCltCU a, ltl.LV/l nuiu i^vPass
& DePass stating that the children
would be sent to Penn's drug
store, in.. Edgefield, at 10.30 on the
morning of the 26th of December. I
then suspected that it was the intention
to give the anticipated "scene"
as public a setting as possible and
have it written up in graphic style for
the purpose of creating sentiment
against the decision of the court in al.
lowing the children to spend a part of
the time with their father in Senator
Tillman's home at Trenton.
For the sake of these innocent little
children, who can not protect themselves
from the designs of other people,
I wrote at once to DePass & DePass
protesting against the choice of
such a. Dublic place and asking for
the sake of peace and decency that the
children -be sent to some other place
and also that they designate any private
residence in Edgefield, or if preferable,
we would send a mutual friend
out to Edgewood to get the children in
a quiet, decent way.
If I had my files at Greenwood I
would like to publish this letter, because
it would show our attitude in
the matter better than anything that
can now be said.

from DePass & DePass or any one
else. Consequently my brother and I
went yesterday morning to the appointed
place?Penn's -ir:ig store, on
the square at Edgefield. The children
were brought there and we received
them from the negro nurse, who accompanied
them. Neither child made
any resistance, and the older child
did not cry at all. The younger one
cried for her nurse to accompany her
to Trenton (as was natural.) Ar r.o
no time did either one of the children
cry for their mother but the younger
one was crying- for her nurse, who was
with her all the time. Before we had
driven two hundred yards she had
stopped crying and we drove on to
Trenton.
There were several people in and
around the drug store at the appointed
time, hut I have 210 way of knowing
if they were there to see the transfer
of the children. Certainly we had
told no one to be there nor had we
made public where or when the children
were to be delivered to us .
My brother naturally sent no presents
to the home of his former wife.
He has been told by her that he can
not go there even to see his children
when they are sick and whether .or not
he shall have that privilege is now before
the supreme court. His Christmas
gifts and manner of giving are
private matters, with which the public
has no concern, but it will not be
amiss to add that the children are now
at his home in Trenton and that he
and his family are enjoying their presence
there. It .has been a long time
since I have seen three happier childdren
than these li*tte girls and my
own little child. It would be hard for
a stranger to believe that it has been
three years since they were together
at their grandfather's.
The public knows ere this that we
have been as patient as possible in this
matter, and out of feeling for these little
innocent girls we have allowed to
go unanswered many of the falsehoods
which have been published in this case.
But fair-minded people must be disgusted
with this latest attempt to
stage so sacred a thing as a child's love
for its parent to create a maudlin
sympathy whei^^?tnot accomplish
aiir exploiting of
r
: these little children.
The supreme court has decided tliisi
1 I
case and has exercised much wisdom <
j in its decision, it is the intention of
my brother to live up to the letter and
spirit of that decree, but I cannot al;
low any one to put him in an absolutely
false light without entering a vigorous
denial, and it might as well be
understood once and for all that nom
of us intend to allow these little girls

unfair attempt to make people believe
that they would naturally hate
their paternal relations. We resei;
and will resent any attempt to create

false sentiment at the expense of the
present and future welfare of these
two little girls.
Respectfully, H. C. Tillman.
