Need Of State Detectives.

There was crying need for these
officers. Attorney General Tanner
heartily approved of their appointment
and desired their services. In the case
in point their work would be OF incal-
culable benefit to the public.
Once before these detectives had
been asked for. and upon frivolous
pretense they had been denied to the
executive and to the law department.
Again they will be asked for and there
are strong hopes that the favor OF be-
ing placed in a position to suppress
crime and to cause the arrest OF GRIM
inals may be granted TO the chief exec
utive.

not act in certain cases. They were

NEWS OF THE WHEELMEN.
Club Plans for Outdoor Season and
General News.

The New York members of the cycling
department of the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club will ride to Bayonne on a run on
Sunday.
In connection with it's agitation for good
roads the League of American Wheelmen
has advocated the adoption of wide
tire laws. By this is meant that the
League wants every yehicle fitted with a
tire Of such width as will be commen-
surate with its weight and carrying ca
pacity. In securing this it is well known
to engineers that the wagon tires will
prove to be road builders inst I'd of de-
stroyers. In speaking of the advantages
of wide tires, a League official claims the
following points:-Fewer horses for the
same work. More work for the same
horses. Prolonging the horses usefulness;
saving of time in passing over road; saw
ing in wear and tear on harness and
vehicles; saving of time on repairs; saw
ing of taxes; saving from one-half to two
thirds cost of wheels. Reduced cost of
damages. More satisfaction and less vex-
alton.
