BRIT0NS APPEAL TO
SHERLOCK HOLMES

London, Sept. 3O.-Nearly a week has
passed since the body Of Miss Mary
Money of Chaplain Junction was found
in the Merstham tunnel Of the London
& Southwestern railroad, but the mys-
terry Of her death remains unsolved. The
outrage, however, has served to start
a crusade against the continued use of
the cell-like compartment cars on the
British railroads, and at least one main
line is said to have countermanded
large order for old-type cars in conse-
quence Of the crusade.
Sir Conan Doyle was asked, in his
capacity Of "Sherlock Holiness to
give his opinion of the tunnel tragedy.
He declined, but warmly denounced the
present style Of car and lack Of protec-
ton for woman travellers alone. He
said:
II think it perfectly scandalous that
such state of affairs should be allowed
to exist. Any railroad company not re-
serving at least one carriage for ladies
on every train ought to be held respon'
sible and pay compensation where a
woman is murdered.

In the absence of any better-known
motive why Mr.. Travers, with much to
live for, should snuff out his life,
friends assign melancholy as the cause.
