DETECTIVE MEETS A WATERLOO

William Pinkerton, whom the world
knows as Billy" and who is supposed
to be the real modern Nidocq, has fall
len from the pedestal, says the New
York journal. The fall was OCCASION
ed by an unknown pickpocket in Den
yer, who relieved Mr.. Pinkerton's in
side coat pocket of $3.50.
Mr.. Pintierton's purpose in going to
Denver was to advise the local police
how to best protect people from the
pickpockets, during a carnival that
was in progress. The day following
his arrival there was IA parade, and
Mr.. Pinkerton undertook the task of
giving an object lesson of his method
of foiling picltpocket designs.
He moved about among the people
who lined the streets and kept very
sharp lookout for the light fingered
folk who take the chance that in stea-
ling .another's purse they steal trash
Just how it happened, no one. not
even Mr.. Pinkerton. knows. but when
the Chicago detective king reached his
hotel. he found himself minus the $3.50
that had been in his possession when
he began to give his object lesson.
This is the first time, so far as the
criminal records show, that man
who has won international reputation
as a thief catcher, was ever made the
victim of n thief when he was looking
for just such n criminal. Mr.. Pinker.
ton gave no further lessons to the
Denver police. but returned to Chica,
go, where the thieves know and feai
him.

OvERPRODUCTION OF YARN.
1t Will Cause Ingram Carpet Weav-
ers to Shut Down.

PHILADELPHIA, September 23-At a
meeting of ingram carpet yarn spinners
held in this city, an absolute shutdown of
the mills represented was decided upon
This action is taken because of the over
production of yarn.
At the present time, owing to the unusual
conditions in the carpet business, large
per cent of the ingram looms are not run
ming. While the looms have been shutting
down. the production of yarn has kept up,
with the result that there has been over
production and a consequent tendency to-
ward lower prices. Some time ago the
yarn men decided upon a scale of prices
and the shutdown was to establish this
firmly.
Seventy-fve per cent of the ingram yarn
capacity was represented and the decision
to shut down was unanimous. The shut
down will be indefinite.
