would greatly improve the appearance Of

ARGUS reporter last evening. That is to
boulevard that portion east of Thirty
eighth at least, and running through Edge
wood park, and not only have grass
plats on each side, but through the mid
die of the car tracks, thus leaving lust

ing q most beautiful street. They have
such a plan in Washington. D. c.. where

why Detectives Hunt for Criminals In
the City's Great Thoroughfare.
Il am waiting for a bunco sharp who
ought TO have got into town YESTERDAY or
the day before from New Orleans" said a
detective from police headquarters, who
stood IN doorway on Broadway, near
Twenty-siXth street. He has been out of
town for nearly two years, but he had to
skip New Orleans on account of a heavy
job he put up on farmer down there.
We've got to get him and send him back.
never saw him with whiskers, but Pm
told he wore 'em when he started north
You see l missed him at the depot. He
didn't come in on the express. Probably
got off at the last stop and came in on a
local. l think he'll be along here some
time today.
That's popularity of the crook in this
city. He adores New York to an extent
that leads him into taking all sorts of
risks, and he simply can't stay away from
this strip of land right along here on Broad
way. Now, there are certain dives all
through this locality where crooks are in
the habit of congregating, but when one of
them is wanted he will avoid these places,
knowing that they are the first spots ex-
amined by the police. They are like
ostriches, however, that stick their heads
into the sand about Broadway and come
out here in the boldest way, thinking them
selves lost in the crowd.
Il was on a burglary case a few months
ago, and was looking for a man who was
good for fifteen years when ! once got the
iron on him. Well, did the down town
and up town resorts for weeks, and never
set eyes on the chap. I went into dens
where anywhere from ten to twenty Jail
birds would be but my man never Shouad
his nose.
Il was beginning to get tired, when one
day thought l would walk up Broadway.
! was going by the st. James hotel when |
saw quiet looking, well dressed man with
gray mustache and beard standing on the
steps. His high bridged nose and small
eyes were familiar. | made as though /
was going to enter the hotel. and got close
enough to look at his right cheek There
was the mark l was looking fora long
scar Just under the beard where it grew
thin on the cheek.
u took my man without any more ado,
and he said when we were on the way to
headquarters that Broadway had always
got him into trouble. II really is the most
fascinating street in the world, you know,
and l don't blame the boys for sticking to
1t, even if it does play them false. Hello,
There's Mr. Bunko. III have to be ex-
cused. All the way from New Orleans,
and on Broadway the first day"
The detective stepped from the doorway
walked up behind IL young man with a
sandy beard, and touching him on the
shoulder Slipped a pair of handouts on
him, and before a crowd could gather had
him on horse car bound for police head

Mr.. McConochie was seen on the sub
