that the three countries aggregate at least
10000 thieves, cheats, blackmailers, black

pondence. Among the countless thous-
ands who will flock TO Chicago during the
period of the great Columbian exposition,
there will be from 5000 to 10000
professional criminals. Every city on
the American continent will con-
tribute its quota; the London "swell

emigration from the baatieues of Paris will
swell the gathering; German professionals
VIII be represented "by large majority"
and in less degree all the other capitals
OF Europe will send specimens of their
rascality-as an official exhibit so to speak.
The fair managers know this, and so do
the Chicago police. They are preparing
Tor the visitation, and if their plans do
not miscarry they will receive the delega-
ton OF the crooked" fraternity With most
dlscouraging hospitality. Their idea is to
so arrange matters that every hotel sneak,
clearinghouse thief buncko steerer, pick
pocket, shoplifter. blackmailer, card
sharper or other rogue of whatever de-
scription, will be recognized the moment
ne or she shows his or her face in the
streets, instantly clapped in Jail, held
there as long as possible exhibited to
every police officer in the city, and after
wards hunted and chirried and worried
until the city grows too hot to hold them.
The preparatory work is already well I'M

commissioners delegated Commissioner
Peck to take charge of it, in conjunction
with General Superintendent Robert Will
son McClaughry of the Chicago police force.
These two at once drafted a plan for an
international bureau of detection. The
city authorities gave the chief full power
to go ahead with the work; money was
placed at his disposal, and he at once went
at mis- task with characteristic skill and
vigor.

THAT PRINTERS FRACAS.
The Times Makes Foolish and Untrue
Statement.

The Times yesterday took exception
to the report appearing in Wednesday s
HERALD in regard to the fracasin which
two printers, Messrs. Schultz and Num-
ford, were badly hurt last Saturday
night, and characterized it as refec-
ton on that paper. The reflection"
consisted of the following: "Another
story is that the fight occurred within
the walls of the Times building among
the printers in the employ of that paper.
This statement is made by two police
officers who know something OF the oc-
currence, but is strenuously denied by
the friends of the injured men,"
The officers on whose authority the
statement was made are Sergeant JEFF

reporter that he had positive informa-
ton that the fight occurred in the Times
building, and deeming the officer liable
to be well informed, his version OF the
affair was published. Officer Mcguire

injured men reside, and he, also, told
the reporter that he had been informed
that the Times building was the scene

Even if such was not the case, and it
has never yet been denied, the article
can hardly be said to be malicious" or
"made out of whole CLOTH" on the above
showing. AS to the statements that the
reporter tried to force his way into the
Clifton house, and threatened to "burn"
the house, they are simply falsehoods.

On the Main and First-strees crossing.
Ny duty there is not to allow anyone to
drive over said crossing faster than a
walk, and if they do, to arrest them for
violating the law, and bring them before
court as soon thereafter as possible. Now
the gentleman from Phoenix drove over
the crossing faster than walk the fact
is, he drove over it at pretty fair trot.
L politely requested him to stop; raised
my cane as usual to call his attention.
He still continued the pace, obliging me
to catch his rein with the crook of my
cane before he stopped. then told him
he was violating the law, and that he
would have to be more careful in future
by walking his horses when he came to
this crossing. He said all right, or words
to that effect, and left apparently salts

man, even it he is from Arizona, can in

gentleman did not appreciate the cour-

him, but thinking he was stranger and
therefore not acquainted with our mu

The increasing business of Maier &
Zobelein, the well-known home brewers
of lager beer, has been very gratifying
OF late. They are turning out an excel
lent beer which meets with great favor
Connoisseurs have highly commended it
and pronounce it equally as good as
eastern beers. This is very creditable
to home industry, and so popular has
this beer become that it is rapidly TAX
ing the place of the eastern beers, both
in families and public resorts. 1t is
brewed from the very best barley and
hops obtainable, and the great care ex-
ercised in its manufacture is the secret
of it's success.
