MYSTERY

BIG REWARD OFFERED FOR INFORMATION

NOT A TRACE OF

A CLUE..

(Special to "Tulograph")

The search for the banknote counterfeiters who have contrived to make spurious H.K, and S.B. $500 bills seem like the real thing. has been capped by the offer of a. substantial reward, for (a) in- formation leading to the arrest of the culprit or culprits, and (b) the seizure of his plant.

For these results, there is the handsome sum of $10,000 to be col- lected.

Alternatively, it is proposed to split up the reward into two amounts $7,000 for the seizure of the very skilfully engraved plates, and $3,000 for the arrest of the engraver..

The reward is unprecedentedly large for any single local case within recollection, conveying an impression of seriousness or of extravagance.

In

it be imagined that etie

is being or about to be money squandered, certain facts have to be considered.

These are (a) the situation is viewed with serious misgiving by Bank and Police officials, (b) all possible measures to bring the swindlers to book have failed, and (c) the situation remaining very much us it was when the more sericus forgeries were first dia covered is likely to continue for an indefinite time unless some un- foreseen element of luck super- venes to furnish a fresh point of attack.

was pictured at the Hungfuo Aerodrome following the 10,000 foot crash in which Mr. Carl Nahmmacher. papurar aviator, lost his life. As a crowd of horrified spectators, which included the pilot's wife and child, watched, the plane plunged into a paddy field, the fall roducing it to splinters.
