SOME DETECTIVE WORK.

SOME DETECTIVE WOtth.
Mr.. Chalmers found q telegram
awaiting him from Chicago. 1t read
as follows:
Chicago. May 6.
William Chalmers, Managing Editor New
York Record:
L. Sylvester Vincent undoubtedly head
of conspiracy. He has been planning 1t
for months. Left Chicago three weeks
ago with letters of introduction to Car
mody, Rockwell. Morton, Haven and
Pence Has frequently been heard to
boast that he would do them Have
just obtained information Of Vincent's
whereabouts. Will wire all developments.
Wire me $500 to Planters Hotel, st.
Louis.
BERNARD SEYMOUR"
Chalmers expressed the opinion
that Seymour was barking at u
knot" but he answered the telegram
and sent the money rs requested.
The managing editor was far from
sharing Jack Stevens high opinion
of Mr.. Seymour's detective abilities,
but was too much of disciplinarian
to interfere with the latter's plans.
He knew that Mr.. Seymour would
prove an expensive luxury, but
Chalmers had been trained to ignore
money as a factor in newspaper ven
lures. He dismissed the enterprising
Seymour from his thoughts.
The following morning Jack Ste
vens returned from Provincetown.
He had learned nothing, but had as
signed his men in such a way that
he predicted results would follow.
Chalmers explained to Stevens what
he had learned from following up the
clew offered by the letters found in
Hestor's Office. t'
II will give this my personal at
tention," said Stevens. within two
hours will find where that furniture
and stuff went to-"
"Be very careful what you say or
do, Jack" cautioned Chalmers. "The
fact that Hestor bought lot of fur
niture proves nothing in itself. Say
nothing to make these furniture peo-
pie suspicious. They are likely to
wonder at our sudden interest in
Hestor's affairs"
" Don't you worry about that" said
Stevens. II win not see the mem
beers of the firm ut all. will trace
the stuff from the teamster who
hauled it, or get the facts from the
shipping clerk. I will make no bad
breaks"
Stevens had not been away two
hours before he returned. He was
excited but happy. 4-
"Well?" said Chalmers.
''That furniture went on board the
Shark" said Jack Stevens. at not
only went aboard the Shark but
it went into the hold Of the boat. I
found the two teamsters who hauled
it. made them believe I was one
Of the clerks Of the furniture house,
and explained that a complaint had
been made that two chairs were
missing. They told me all about it.
The Shark was anchored of Twen-
ty-fourth street. They took the fur
niture there and help put 1t in the
yacht. 1 told them the matter was
of no consequence, and convinced
them that suspicion was not directed
against them. / also found out
about the billiard table. That also
went on board the yacht. So did the
piano." - ~ =
There is mo use bothering about
the rest Of the stuff" said Chalmers.
1T went to the same place, Well,
what do you think of it?"

II do not know your man Hestor,"
said Stevens. "Were he not worth
more millions that I have dollars,
I should say he was under suspicion"
1--WE will so regard him, notwith-
standing his money" said Chalmers
deliberately. "Pick out two or three
good men and trace his actions as
best you can up to the time he went
away. He keeps bachelor apartments
up town. will get you the address.
He has several servants, including a
coachman. He is quite modest in his
tastes. The servants should not be
suspicious II you go at them dis
creetiy."
Stevens had no trouble in inter-
viewing the servants of the Hestor
establishment. He learned nothing
of any consequence until he located
the coachman. That dusky gentle
man proved mine of information.
"Marster Walter tole me nothin'
bout whar he WIZ gwine," said Mr..
Napoleon Spencer. 'De last time I

FOOTBALL PLANS.
Washburn Manager Is Organic
ing His Forces.
Practice Will Begin Promptly
Sept. Is.
NEW RULES ADOPTED.
GridirOn This Season Will Look
Like CheckerbOard.
Will Be Fewer Mass Plays Than
Last Season.

While the business of assembling ma
terial for the Washburn college foot
ball team is going on more rapidly than
at any time this summer the plans and
hopes of the management are yet being
kept secret Manager Clovis Dale is in
correspondence with a considerable
number of new men who are leaving
high schools in various parts of the state
with high school football experience
which will be of value to them upon
the Washburn gridiron. Several boys
from the Topeka high school are expect
ed to enter Washburn. Most of the
members of last seasons football team
will be back this year.
Practice will begin on the Washburn
field about September Is. Not all the
players will be in for a few days after
that but Coach Kennedy will be here on
the opening day and will start work
with his men as rapidly as he can lay
hands upon them. Some work will have
to be done upon the football field to get
it into proper condition for football
practice.
The new rules for football are publish
ed and on the market. Some important
changes have been made in them for
this year by the rules committee and
DuDllSnGQ III ODdlQlIlS OlllCldi lOOlDdtA
guide. The committee consists of Paul
J. Dashiell of the United States Naval
academy, John c. Bell of the University
of Pennsylvania, L. M. Dennis of Cor
nell university, Robert d. Wrenn of
Harvard university j. y. Fine of Prince
ton and Walter Camp of Yale. All of
these men have been famous on the
football field and all of them have been
students of the came for years. The
rules set out by the committee will be
followed by all the colleges in the coun-
try which profess to put on football as
it should properly be played.
One of the changes is that providing
for quarterback plays. In past games
the quarterback trick runs have been
the subject of many bitter disputes on
the field The quarterback was not
supposed to run with the ball unless
it had first been thrown to a halfback
and returned to him. The play was
quick and there were often difficulties
over it between players and umpires.
1t was a play requiring skill, and was
usually successful in making good
gains. Now it is provided that the
quarterback may run with the ball,
provided he makes an end run The
quarterback run cannot be used in
mass plays. In order to facilitate judg-
ments upon this play, the new rules
prescribe a different marking of the
gridiron from any used in the past.

must not only have hotels. stores and
barber shops, but places of amusement
would also be necessary. In the interest
of the last-named necessity, a wide
awake citizen conceived the idea of
building a theater, and a fine brick
building was erected for this purpose.
1t was large enough for New York
audience, but Tavares was building for
the future.
During the daytime they cover the
wall of the building to the depth of at
least two feet. and often accumulate
in large punches somewhat as bees do
when they alight in swarming. The
most striking evidence of their numbers,
however, is obtained by watching them
fly out of the building in the evening
to feed and get fresh air and exercise.

that they can all go out at the same

taking a position from which he can
