COUNTERFEIT COIN
FOR REVOLUTION.
Bold Scheme to Promote
Venezuelan Rebellion
is Spoiled by
PLOTTERS IN JAIL
nf KW , , YORK - **c. 2i.-On a charge
Pi making dies to counterfeit the
nandard silver dollar of Venezuela, to
finance a revolution In that country.
secret service officers today arrested
<- amain Boynton, former real
aent manager of the Orinoco'corpora
tion of Vcncruela, and U R. Thomas,
an attorney, both of this city. Both
«-AAA ner * WPrc Emitted to bail in
*aOOO. Joseph Keller and Sidney A.
Keller O f Keller Bros., die makers,
were also arrested in connection with
the case. \u0084
th The , two Principals in the case aver
mat the p i an t0 duplicate- Venezuelan
money Is not counterfeiting. Later,
alter the revolution proved successful.
.w? y i* ' U was «^Pected to legalize
this issue of money, both by executive
decree and by act of the Venezuelan
*?? accused men characterize
tms plan as a "war measure." They
also allege that half of the South
American risings are similarly financed.
The story of the facts leading up to
the arrests are Interesting. According
to Chief Wilkie, Captain Boynton came
to New York In June last to lay plans
ipr a revolution against President Cas
tro. He had with him an authorization
which purported to bear the signature
of leading revolutionists, appointing
him special commissioner to America,
with power to do practically anything
and everything necessary to get the
mo^ment started.
It Is charged that when Captain
Boynton came to New York in June to
gret the alleged revolution on foot he
undertook to put In operation a plan
similar to that whereby the revolution
against Don Pedro In B. azll was said
to have been financed, that of getting
die* and buying bullion and turning
out what sliver coin was necessary.
Later, If the movement proved euccess
ful, the Issue could be legalized; if
unsuccessful, no one would be Injured,
It was argued, as the. coins were to be
made of the same fineness as the regu
larly coined. Captain Boynton met
Lawyer Thompson, an old acquaint
ance, and Interested him In the revolu
tion.

BITTERLY ATTACKS
FRATERNITIES.
DETROIT. Mich., Aug. 22. — Intimat
ing that the society Is guilty of breach
of confidence, of obtaining money by
false \u25a0 pretenses and In pursuing a
dishonest policy, delegates to the con
vention of the Associated Fraternities
of America^ fought through an intense
discussion on the matter of insurance
rates in their afternOon. session. Judge
Pfost of Kansas furnished' the sensa
tion of the raeetingjj declaring: .
"There*ls not a' society in the United
•States that can carry out Its insurance
contracts in full."
The substance of his short speech
was that, while societies are constantly
Increasing their liabilities, they are not
increasing their assets. Other speak
ers condemned insurance procedure of
their respective societies as dishonest,
dishonorable and disgraceful.
The convention was split Into two
factions, led by ex-President George F.
McKay of Cleveland, who declared for
the presentation of a minimum rate
bill to the Legislatures, and Thomas B.
Hanley of Tipton, la., who opposed such
action. The general spirit of the con
vention - was that the amalgamation
movement between the Associated Fra
ternities and the National Fraternal
•Congress, which was decided on at a
morning session, never would be con
summated. .

Police to Handle Vagrants Who
Lurk About Refugee Camps.
/"« lIIEF OF POLICE: niXA.V, at (be request of Major Gnston, auper-
Vrf lntendent of permanent refugee camps, h:m Issued orders to his
men that worthless characters Infesting; refucee camps must be han
dled drastically hy the force. Father Cronli-y, In chnrgre of Indus
tries at camps, . ivt ll- ask for an appropriation of 95000 for continuing
the Bening centers and by employing" women keep them-' from gossip.
Males and Females With
Strength to Work Must
Get Out and Hustle
for Their Food.
NO more provisions will be sup
plied to the refugees that are
able-bodied after Saturday,
August 25. Those that are
worthy, 111 or suffering from old
age - may . still draw rations, but
men with sound lungs and ' strong
sinews and women able to care for
themselves w«ii have to become self
supporting.
The decision of the Relief Corpora
tion to make all persons who are able
to work self-supporting was communi
cated to Chief of Police Dlnan yesterd
ay in a letter from Major J. A. Gaston,
superintendent of relief. He asked the
co-operation of the police in weeding
out the worthless refugees. Special
mention was made of many persons
who are residing in the various camps
for the purpose of ' making a question
able livelihood. ' \u25a0 \u25a0
Those that are Bick will be removed
to the various city hospitals. Special
arrangements have been made for the
care of those who are infirm from old
age. ThoBe^ refugees, however, who
have been drawing rations gratuitously
and sleeping in the various parks and
driveways will be compelled to supply
their own food after next Sunday. The
reason given by the .Relief Corporation,
of which Rudolph Spreckels is chair
man, is that four months have elapsed
since the fire and that the people have
had ample time to become self-sup
porting, especially in the matter of
supplying their own food.
The following orders were issued by
Superintendent Gaston:
By authority of Rudolph Spreck
els. chairman of the camps and ware
houses, the following is published for
the information of all concerned:
1. Four months have now elapsed
since the fire, and all able-bodied adult
refugees, of both sexes, should be self
supporting.
. 2. AH agents of the relief associa
tion are hereby forbidden to make any
further Issues of milk, eggrs. meat or
other raw food after Saturday, August
25, 1906, except' as hereinafter pro
vided.
3. No worthy person shall be allowed
to go hungry. All worthy persons
needing food for 'the present and ap
plying in person shall obtain meal iick
ets from the camp commander at the
nearest permanent camp where kitch
ens are maintained.- Those who on ac
count, of age or infirmity cannot go -to
the camp kitchen shall .be-' furnished
transportation - for themselves , and
bedding to the camp, at, the Speedway
(or to one of the. other camps," if that is
full), by applying to'H. S. Johnson,
quartermaster, permanent camp, cor
ner of Gough and Geary/streets. .All
agents of the -relief association are
hereby directed to make sure that aged
and .infirm ..persons, who "might other
wise suffer from this order, are.no
tlfled,'"and see that the proper requests
for transportation are sent at once to
this office. ' " '
4. 'All seriously sick or paralyzed pa
tients shall 'be sent -to -one of the city
hospitals. For those only- slightly 111
tickets to the camp kitchen shall be
given, and th<v food thus obtained may
be .supplemented by the camp surgeon
issuing a small quantity of such special
diet as he. may obtain from the store
room of the camp commander. Such
supplementary food i shall consist of a
small quantity of. rice,, sugar, canned
milk or soup, and so forth, and shall be
Issued for immediate use only, and
should not be issued for a longer pe
riod than for. one day at a time.
5. Camp commanders are the only
ones to- whom kitchen tickets shall be
Issued,. and they shall carefully investi
gate each case, and only issue tickets
to worthy persons to prevent suffering-.
The campr kitchens are only retained
on account of the necessity for them.
They will be closed as soon as prac
ticable, ; - .
Chief. of Police Dinan has issued in
structions to the company commanders
in conformity with the foregoing.
SPEEDWAY CAMP. HAS ILL SAME.
Refugee* Wrongly Consider It "Poor
house" and May Away. f
That word of 111 omen, "poorhouse,"
has been settled by the refugee imag
ination on the camp at the speedway In
the park, and as a consequence there
have been few. even among those In
great need, who have yet applied to
the -Relief Corporation for removal
from other camps to the- one beyond
Strawberry Hill.. In tin oruer issued by
Chairman Rudolph Spreckels of the de
ifertment of camps and warehouses the
distribution of raw food at camps other
than the speedway will be discontinued
Saturday,, and all the aged and Infirm
who have no means of supporting
themselves * were instructed to apply
for transportation' to the park camp,
which, by the same token, had been
di'fignated the "camp for the aged and
lii firm." !
But the' words "aged and infirm"
caught In the pride of the refugees.
They .considered it an euphemism for
"poorhouse". and would have none of it.
Many of the aged who will be housed*
at-the speedway are probably delaying
their move as long as possible, but it is
expected that by. Saturday Major Gas
ton. \u25a0who Is In- charge of the permanent
camps, will have. plenty of employment
for his transportation department.

Father Growley Would
Stop Gossip by Keep
ing the Women
Campers Busy.
UNTIL. September 1 and a fresh
appropriation corrfe many of the
sewing centers which have been
conducted under the ; dispensa
tlon of the rehabilitation department of
the Relief Corporation will have to be
discontinued. The ' appropriation for.
August was $2000, and the goods pur
chased under that fund are rapidly be
ing' made; into garments, so- rapidly
that in many.centers the supplies have
been exhausted. Father Crowiey, who
Is superintendent of the industrial de
partment of the rehabilitation commit
tee, stated yesterday, that he will ask
for an appropriation of $5000 for. Sep
tember and that he expects that it will
be allotted the department 'by the ex
ecutive committee. Miss Lucule Eaves
of the Red Cross, who directs the
work, asked for $5000 for August, but
her estlmiUe was cut. down. In Jeffer
son square the sewing has been discon
tinued. In the Mission there is still
plenty of material on hand.
Father Crowiey saw many varieties
of good In tho sewing centers. They
are mentally, morally and materially
beneficial to the refugees, said the
priest yesterday, and he gave cate
gorically his reasons. "First and fore
most." he said, " the sewing circles
keep women busy and therefore out of
mischief; keep them \away from: gos
siping." Conventionally the sewing
circle has a name for being the center
of small talk, but Father Crowiey looks
on It as a beneficlent institution and
his view ; is not apt to be gainsaid by
the executive committee. .'',

'SEATTLE, Aug. 22. — Rev. Mrs. Rice,

defendant, j , *<

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
'SEATTLE, Aug. 22.— Eight skeletons
lying beside a lifeboat in a caVb near
Carmanah, on the west side of Van
couver Island, dumbly tell what Is un
doubtedly the most terrible tragedy of
last January's wreck when the liner
Valencia pounded to pieces on the
treacherous coast of Vancouver Island.
A special from Carmanah this after
noon reporting the heart-breaking dis
covery says the boat's* crew had made
apparent safety' and starved to death
because the coastline was not ade
quately searched. It will be Impossible,
to identify the remains of the eight
victims. Llghtkeeper. Daykin says:
"If the men got into the cave alive,
as Jt is evident they did, they must
have starved to death. It is a veritable
mantrap. There is a large rock at the
mouth of the cave, over which the boat
must have been hurled by huge waves,
as there Is not enough room on either
side of the rock, to get the boat out
again when the water is smooth.
"The boat's crew must have perished
before the storm subsided. The boat
is all right except for a small hole In
the forward ' air chamber, near the
gunwale."
