Davenport. Aug. 1S.-After constant
and untiring work for over a year
Chief of Police Herzog has succeeded
in running down and bringing to bay
Charles Neiswander, alias Brown, alias
Arnett, supposed to be one Of the most
daring crooks in the country. The man
terrorized many residents of this city
over a year ago. He is now sarely
lodged behind the bars at the police
station and will undoubtedly be severe
ly dealt with.
Neiswander was arrested on the
streets of st. Joseph, Mo-. by Detect
ives Wheeler and Wilson. He had
been in ST. Joe for about a week and
was employed by a gas company. IN
doubtedly he was preparing to perform
his daring deeds and rob residences In
ST. Joe as he did here and in many
other cities. His scheme was to enter
adjusting gas fixtures and then to take
all valuables which came within his
reach.
Made Big HauIs Here.
Over year ago Neiswander re-
l:eved Davenport residents of money
and jewels the aggregate value OF
which is about $1,000. With his gas
tongs he succeeded in gaining an en-
trance to the Max Kohn residence
near 1hi1te and Main streets.
where he stole $500 worth Of precious
stones and other jewelry. Under the
same pretext he entered the Lighter
residence and secured $12. He also
found his way into the Joseph Ochs
residence but his plans were foiled by
the hired girl who followed him around
while he pretended to adjust the gas
fixtures.

WHO IS TT

Anna N. Batchelder, the young woman
OF White River Junction who sprang
into prominence in the newspaper firma-
ment through her interview with Mary
Rogers which was printed in Boston
newspaper, comes ont with defense of
herself and more especially a defense
Of her brother, States Attorney Charles
Batchelder. The article was letter
to the Burlington Free Press. Miss
Batchelder's defense complexities the
matter still more, for she states posi-
lively that she told Superintendent
Lowell Of the prison what she wanted
to see Mrs. Rogers for, She says: Both
Superintendent Lowell and Sheriff Peck
knew that ! was newspaper reporter
when I asked permission to 90 to the
states prison and interview Mrs. Rog-
ers. ! explained to them in detail just
what | wanted to get, and for what
purpose, and after quite delay ! OBJ
tanned permission from Superintendent
Lowell to see Ms. Rogers Continuing
she says; my work was fully discuss
ed with me BY them Lowell and Peck !,
before | went to Windsor to see Mrs.
Rogers and during my stay there"
Now, there's statement that is posi-
tive. On the other hand, however, is
the equally positive assertion Of Superin-
tendent Lowell that he did not know
that the woman was a newspaper repre-
sentative when she asked permission
to enter the condemned woman's cell
and that it was not until part way
through the interview that he realized
by the nature of her questioning Of
Mrs. Rogers what her mission was
Supt. Lowell further states that the fact
that Miss Batchelder accompanied her
brother, the states attorney, was the
reason for her being admitted. On this
latter point Miss Batchelder also differs

most emphaticaly from the superinten.
dent for she declares that she did not
know her brother was to accompany her
to the cell until she was told by Super
intendent Lowell himself; in fact, she
didn't know her brother was in Wind
sor. We are forced to believe that some
one is wrong, and that someone is max
ing a bungling mess in an endeavor to
get out Of delicate situation. Who

STORE ADVERTISING
PUBLICITY's SHOWING IN MER-
 CHANTS BALANCE SHEET.
When Advertising is Weakest and ScnntIest, Then the Goods Seem Chained to the Shelves and
 the Clerks are Idle.

When the average man looks at piece of cloth he vaguely guesses at the quality. and wonders whether the price Is not little too high.
 When an expert on cloth looks at it he traces 1t back to flock of sheep grazing on a hillside! His mind goes back to the days of primitive looms, and forward again to these time or weIl-nigh sentient machinery. He sees the gradual growth of knowledge about dyes. from the time the first Indian painted his cheeks with eruo red ochre to these days when we pill fer the hues of the rainbow. He sees the generations of men at work at the looms, each bringing increased skill to the task of making cloth.
 The merchant should see as much in his balance-sheet as the cloth-expert sees in the piece of cloth.
 He should see other things than the figures which represent Net Prof it's" He should understand the caus- es which have operated to grind out these figures.
 And. while each phase of store-ex- pense should interest him. the expen- ditures of the year for Publicity should have the most thorough con- sIderatiou. For these figures regulate 6ll OInGE uBuT6S In NHS -ANN~N as surely as the moon regulates the tides.
 Assuming that his appropriation for publicity has been wisely expended he can see where a figure four instead of a figure three in the advertising bill would have ground out a figure eight instead of a figure four in his Net Profits" column.
 His mind should travel back to cer- tain days of the year when his adver- tising was weakest, and scaotiest-- and when stocks seemed anchored to counters and shelves, and clerks all got sociable and friendly with one an- other. The final history of these days is written in the balance sheet.
 He can recall other days when his advertising was electric with interest -when publicity reached Hood-tide: and the store was "raided' by patrons. And. thinking of these days. he won ders how the ebb-tide could have trav- eled so far. and turned SO reluctantly. in the days that were dull"
 In substance. the balance-sheet should teach him that. as the best business and the best advertising happened" to come at the same time that In the coming year ne will raise the standard assure the invariable continuity and increase the space oc- cupied by his store advertising.

 The show will be given under the auspices of the State Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock Association, but it's scope will be wider than the borders of Alabama. Exhibitors will come in from all the surrounding States. But an especially comprehensive array of stock from Alabama owners Is to be presented at the exhibition. A list of liberal prizes has been com piled by President Adams. The rival " will be much greater than at the show In Birmingham, which attracted much interest.
 A line of bantam chickens which has been on exhibition at Crystal Palace. London. will be exhibited at the Au- ditorium here. Letters received py President Adams assure him of a su- perb show of dogs. Belgian hares. cats. guinea pigs. rabbits. canary and all species of song birds.
