DETECTIVE pEARsoH'S GOOD WORK

Detective Robert Pearson, Of the Ocean
avenue police station, has become exceed
ingly popular in the Greenville section.
He is a hard worker and he has been in
strumental In making several good ar
rests. since he has been attached to that
precinct.
Both Captain Nugent and Detective
Pearson patrol the streets of the district
nightly, which fact has apparently quelled
the epidemic of 5urglaries In that sec
ton. The recent transfer of police has
greatly benefited the Fifth Precinct,
young and active men now patrol posts
formerly patroiled by old men totally un-
fit to do police duties in a precinct where
there is SO much ground to cover.

Notwithstanding the hysterical attempts
Of the Republican press to persuade its
deluded followers that the white dove Of
harmony has spread her wings all over
the party in Somerset the liveliest kind Of
a Kilkenny fight is going on in that
county. Nothing more apty describes the
situation between the two factions, led
by Senator Charles Reed and Clerk In
Ehancery Lewis Thompson. than the old
legend Of the two cats, with their tails
tied together and slung over a pole at the
point of juncture of their caudal appen-
dages. clawing. tearing and splitting. at
each other In the most energetic fashion
and there is every Indication that the
parallel Will prevail to the finish.
In addition to this it appears hat the
troubles of the Somerset Republicans are
increasing. Four candidates are now out
for the Senatorial nomination and of such
q particularly bitter nature is the contest
that no matter who wins the wounds will
bleed until they are healed by the salye
Of vengeance on election day.
Senator Reed wants a denomination
mainly to show that he and not Lew"
Thompson runs the Republican party of
Somerset, and if he cannot maintain this
position at the primaries his friends are
ready to prove at the polls that If they
canno rule they can ruin. Ex-Sheriff
DiIts. a good man. as Republicans go in
that part OF the State, wants the nomi-
nation for a similar reason. He wants to
demonstrate that 'Lew" Thompson is
tFboss," and IL he cannot run things no one
else can. Then there are Matthew Suy-
dam and Joseph 8. Freiinghuysen hover
eng around the outside looking for a
chance to slip In and capture the prize.
This state OF affairs, however dis
couraging it may be to the advocates of
clean and honorable methods in politics,
cannot but have ifs consoling features to
the lovers of good government 1t in
sures the nomination and election of some
such sterling Democrat and superior
citizen as James Bergen, to represent the
county in the State Senate.

wire itself than if the operator had merely
tapped on the table with his finger tips.
But the sound as il reached the corridor
was exactly the same as if the wire had
been intact and wv" was really calling
IS. D." After a moment or two the oper-
ator pretended 10 break the signals and
answered Il. /. S. d." meaning that the
operator at the state department was
ready TO receive messages.
Then the navy department man got in
his fine work by sending. or, rather. by
pretending to send, a cablegram from Am
bassador Hay TO Secretary Day, announc-
ing the fall of Mania. The newspaper
man in the corridor, who was also tele-
grapher, took the bait without question
ana rushed off TO the telegraph office, 10
send the great news to his employers. With
only the eight words of the fictitious cable
gram as basis, he built story of near
~ TWO columns. He told of the excitment
that the news of Dewey's capture of Ma
mia had caused among the officials in
Washington, and described how the mem
bers of the cabinet rushed to the executive
mansion to confer with the President. He
even furnished the opinions of high Off
clals' as to the manner in which Dewey
mad effected the capture. 1t happened that
the newspaper had a system by which II
exchanged and sold news, and the wonder
fuI story of the fan of Manila went there
fore, to all other newspapers connected
with the system. The real story of Dewey
capture of the Philippine city came over
the wares two months later.
