FOREIGNERS INVOLVED IN RAID ON COINERS
French Police Sweating Suspects in Chinese Counterfeiting Scheme.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 31.—That very prominent men, including foreigners as well as Chinese, were interested in the counterfeiting plant seized recently in the French settlement, was rumored here today. The French police are sweating the sixty Chinese workmen arrested in connection with the raid. They promise an international sensation if they succeed in making out cases against the suspects “higher up.”
Since the revolution China has been flooded with counterfeit republican notes to an enormous amount—probably millions of dollars. They cannot be told even by experts from the genuine money, which is rather crudely executed.
