I. 1 In the hope of capturing some members of a band of counterfeiters which has been flooding Eastern cities with bogus two-dollar bills recently Chief William J. Flynn and four Headquarters detectives made two raids last" night. They succeeded In capturing fourteen prisoners and had plenty of excitement In doing it. Chief Flynn learned three weeks ago that new counterf s-it bills had made their appearance In Philadelphia and Newark and a little later in Brooklyn.

Detective Corroa of "the Central Office went to Brooklyn with Flynn and got the name of a business man in that borough who had given out one of the bogus bills. This man. whose name the detectives refuse to reveal, told them he had no idea the bill was ba 1 and that It had been given to him by a customer. Chief Flynn and Detective Corroa then went through the east ride, where some of the bills in the meantime hart been passed, and got information that led to the raids last night. 5 o'clock the detectives suddenly descended upon the saloon of Tsrnaiie Proveniano at 15T Allen Just as they ri-ached the entrance there was a rush inside the place, and the doors were slamrned and locked in their faces.

The raiuers broke down the doors, and lnskle were met a Uozen men armed with clubs andlhafrs. A vigorous flight ensued. In wnich Chief Flynn's hat was battered In and Detective McGee was thrown and trampled on The raiders drew their clubs and revolvers and compelled the belligerents to capitulate. Proveniaoo was seized, and in his pockets, the detectives found seventeen fresh counterfeit bills lie and six others wipre taken to Police Headquarters, where Provenaano was charged, with having counterfeit money in his possession, and the others were booked as suspicious persons. Later the raiding partv went to Pro-venzano's house.

Ills wife, who opened the door, demanded: Why do you come There's nothing for you to find." The detectives searched, however, ana In Provenzano's bedroom found a rubber stamp which Flynn said might have been used in making counterfeit bills. It was taken along as The raiders then hurried to 33T East Thirteenth Street, where Vlncenso Kat-tnglia has an employment agency on the round floor, with sleeping rooms above, lere tbey encountered a group of men armed with clubs. One of them pointed a revolver at Chief Flynn, who knocked It from his Seven men, including Bat-taglla. were taken from this place. None of them had any counterfeit money.

All were held on suspicion. Chief Flynn believes that the counter-felt money Is made abroad and sent here to bo passed. Later last night Secret Service Detectives Brewster and Klinke took to the Oak Street Police Station Vlncenso Muratto of 73 James Street and Michael Toclo of 37 Monroe Street, whom they charged with having passed counterfeit coins. The detectives had been searching for them for a week. They were traced to Albany, where Tocio was arrested.

Muratto was caught at Kingston. The detectives say they found upon tho two prisoners 105 In bogus fifty-cent nieces and quarters, together with receipts for metal purchased in this city. Both the prisoners will be arraigned to-day before United States Cotaimissioner Shields. "OOII! Coots, Worth-while waterproofing must have a Bound foundation. I i Our Raincoats are alP Wool.
