a ROW OVER A DETECTIVE.
ATLANTA POLICE COMMISSIONERS
UP TO THEIR OLD TRICKS.

Fearful of the Loss of the Labor Vote
on Account of the Employment OF
PinkertOn Detective the Members
of the Board Trying TO Dodge the
RespOnsibiIity-One of the Fac
lions Led by Capt. English and the
other by Chairman johnson.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 25.-The police board,
that adjunct TO the city government
which has been in more kinds of politi-
cal messes since the advent of the pres
ent administration than anybody in the
eity's history, is in another bitter wran-
gle. This time the fight is over the en-
ployment of a Pinkerton detective named
Conway who was brought here from Chi
cago TO help the local sleuths look after
the army of crooks that have infested
the town. As soon as it became publicly
known that the department had employ
ed a Pinkerton man the federation of
trades took the matter up and entered
formal protest. Later the federation en-
ployed attorneys and an injunction will
be secured against the police board to pre-
vent the employment of the Pihkerton
man on the ground that he is a non-resi-
dent. The action of the federation has
caused the police commissioners to fear
that the next time they have political
axes to grind they will be showed under
by the labor vote. To avert such dire con-
sequences the two factions on the board,
one led by Capt. English and the other by
Chairman Johnson, are trying to saddle
the responsibility for the Pinkerton
man on each other. In
the row both sides are
INDUCING in sensational charges and
abuse, Commissioner Nenable, of the Eng
fish side, to-day coming out in a state
ment showing a lot of alleged trading,
that the other faction has been trying
to do for political PURPOSES"

Prehistoric Egyptian Giants.

In 1881, when Prof. Zimmerman was
engaged in exploring the ruins Of an
ancient temple of Isis on the banks of
the Nile, sixteen miles below Najar
Djfard, he opened row of tombs in
which some prehistoric race of giants
had been buried. The smallest slSele-
ton out of some sixty odd which were
examined during the time Zimmerman
was excavating at Najar Djfard
measured seven feet and eight inches
in length and the largest eleven feet
and one inch. Memorial tablets were
discovered in great numbers, but there
was no record that even limited that
they were in the memory of men of ex-
traordinary size. 1t is believed that
the tombs date back to the year 1o4S

DESIGNS OUR CRUISERS.
Philip Hichborn, Chief Constructor
of the Nations Navy.
The Work He Has Already Accomplished
Entities Him to the Thanks of Evory
Patriotic Citizen of the
United States.

The American people are proud Of
their warships and of the men who con.
struct, build and man them, writes the
Washington correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle. When the emperor of
Germany complimented our vessels at
Kiel the other day the heart of every
patriotic citizen of this country, wheth-
er he resided on the seaboard or in the
prairie cities of the far west, thrilled
with pride and satisfaction.
As the head OF that bureau whence
originated the designs for the vessels
of the white squadron the life, aims
and opinions of Philip Hichborn, chief
constructor of the United States navy,
must be of interest to all of us. In the
first place he is the kind of man that
the people of the United States like
unpretentious, sincere and democratic
in his habits, he represents in his per-
son the best attributes of American cit
izenship.
Constructor Hichborn was born at
Charlestown, Mass, March 4, 1880, grad
uated from Boston high school in 1855
and was indentured to the governments
ut sixteen. BY the direction of the
then secretary of the navy, Isaac Tou-
sey, he was especially instructed in the
theoretical work of ship designs and
calculations. He entered the service
as assistant naval constructor in 1869,
and six years later, after competitive
examination, he received his commits
sion as naval constructor. In July,
1898, Constructor Hichborn assumed his
present duties as head of the construc-
tion bureau and chief designer of our
war vessels. For the better part of
two years succeeding his appointment
he was surrounded by an unsettled at
mosphere, the heritage of the bureau
as an Office. This, however, he has
succeeded in clearing up.
To appreciate the work he has ac-
complished in so short time it is only
necessary to remember that warship,
