Shortly before IL o'clock on every fine
night there suddenly drops into the Ten
derloin-from just where no one seems to
know-a handsome victoria automobile and
after circling around bit comes to a stand
in front of the Haymarket, the most noto-
rious dance hall in the city. The machine
is an elaborate affair. easily distinguished
from others of its kind by a powerful
searchlight in the center Of the dashboard
operated by a storage battery under the
seat. Suspended between the rear wheels
is a red lantern. The victoria is operated
by a fashionably dressed young man who
is said to be the son of a wealthy western
clergyman He has been sent east to per-
feet his education. The machine hardly
comes to a stop before the word is passed
through the dance hall that Prince Auto

dash in for another companion.
The performance will be repeated until

women to lead better lives. He declares

Confidence Mans Experience.
Red" Leary, a confidence man, with a
reputation that reaches from ocean to
ocean, recently left the Pan-American fair
by request and came to New York. He had
always found a haven of rest and peace in
this city, and came here expecting to take
short vacation before beginning his sum-
mer campaign. After an early morning
stroll through Central Park, Red came
upon a man from the country. wearing an
air of verdancy that was irresistible. in
spite of the fact that Leary had promised
himself to forget the cares of business.
Just as the confidence operator was about
to open conversation with the countryInan,
NJ. Il. Evans, chief of the bureau of infor-
nation of Chicago, bumped into them.
Evans who is said to forget no face that
he has ever seen, grabbed Leary with his
left hand, while with his right he gave the
farmer a hearty greeting. Mr.. Evans
said:
'Leary, let me introduce my friend, Chief
William Moore of Binghamton, who looks
like farmer, but who is one of the ablest
policemen in the country. You may have
HedTu ntm.
Heard of him." calculated Leary. Hes
the man that arrested Raymond and With
erton, the gold-brick men. last week.!
Then Leary disappeared. leaving the two
police officers laughing at his discontinue.
Down the avenue block he made quick
double on his tracks and went into Ssth
street, muttering to himself. His maleuver
was the result of a view of Inspector Cross
coming up 9TH avenue, accompanied by
Deputy Commissioner Devery and Captain
Donohue. At 9th avenue Red lodged be-
hind a trolley to regain his composur
which had completely abandoned him at the
sight of Captain Anthony Woods of QUEENS,
respondent in a frock coat. silk hat and
patent feathers Hoping to lose himself in
the Broadway crowds Leary went west
ward until he ran almost into the arms of
Chief A. H. Leslie, who last January had
denied him the freedom of Pittsburg Later
he came upon phil Deitsch. who mas long
made Cincinnati unhealthy for gentlemen
of Reds profession Then he met Chief
DOnohue of Omaha the kidnaper Of kid
napers. and experienced another heart f1ut-
ter. By that time the confidence operator
had concluded that the entire police world
was pursuing him. BY twists and clever
turns he made him way to the 23d street
ferry. Then he left New York Leary's
trouble was occasioned by the presence in
New York of the members of the National
Association of Chiefs of Police Of the
United States and Canada, of which Major
Sylvester, the head of the Washington
force, has just been elected president.
