NEVER SAW A POLICEMAN.
Chief Durkin Bushes For the Authors Of Some of
the Detective Literature.

II think never read more than one
Of the trashy things, but 1t was quite
enough for me. And some of these
detective plays they put on the stage
would make the greenest policeman
blush for the author. Criminals do not
leave sensational clews hanging on
their trails at every step, in real life.
They do not come back to the scenes
Of their crimes, inpelled by an unseen,
irresistible force, to the great convep
ience Of the policeman on that heat
or the detectives in waiting for them
in everyday life, as they do in books
and on the stage"

How to Cure the Grip

Remain quietly at home and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as di.

tendency of the grip to result in pneu'

Thursday. I'VE have been expert
menting along that line for q year or
more. The trouble with all the tires
now on the market is that they will
not stand up under the heavy load
they are expected to carry. The tire
must be pneumatic as the machinery
of the automobile is SO intricate that
any sudden jar is liable to throw it
out Of gear. A solid tire is not surti-

OIL FOR FUEL PURPOSES.
The Texas Product to Come Into
Competition With Coal.

A Study of the Subject by United
States Geological Survey Experts
Preparations at beaumont to En-
ter the Market on Large scale
Experts Of the United States Geological
Survey are greatly interested in the de-
yelopment Of the Beaumont oil field in
Texas. and are studying its relation to
the future production of fuel coal II is
pretty well settled that for the present al
least there will be no extensive refining
of the Beaumont oil but the fight between
oil and coal for steam fuel has already
commenced and the experts are observing
the contest IN its economic bearing.
There seems 20 be no doubt that coal
production in the Southwest is seriously
Inenaced. and that Western mines may
be seriously affected later on This viii
depend somewhat. however, on the extent
OF the Beaumont field, which is still
matter Of mystery.
The Beaumont producers have not as
yet begun 20 market their product in any
thing like normal quantities. but their
preparations are on a scale large enough
20 leave no doubt that as soon as they
can construct pipe lines, oil tanks, tank
cars. and barges they VIII enter into
deadly competition with coal for steam
purposes. II the action OF the Texas Rail-
road Commission stands with regard TO
rates on oil and coal Texas and Indian
Territory coal viii it is claimed, lose its
market to a great extent, and the same
may be said Of Arkansas coal. From re-
ports on file in the Geological Survey
Alabama coal seems 10 be threatened also.
Mr.. England, secretary Of the Mobile
Chamber Of Commerce, has this 10 say
upon the subject:
The adaptabuity Of this oil CBeaumonD
as a fuel has been tested on some OF tie
towboats, and by some Of the larger IL
dustries, and the tests have been exceed
ingiy satisfactory Already OIL has be-
come potent factor. and since these tests

and that contracts FOR changing from coal

companies, the large industries. and by

The Interesting and doubtful element in
the situation is tho amount of OIL DID the

If the present apparent production
should be sustained the production iu the
aggregate would make a marvellous show
ing as compared with all former oil pro-
duction In the United States, and It
would, as a steam element. equal IS U00.-
600 tons Of coal just per cent more than
