outside dependency of the nation.
That the commercial interests or the
east, If not it's statesmen, are alive to
the desirability of promoting the settle
ment and internal improvement OF the
west, is shown by tie very Comprehen-
sive action taken recently by the Ma
tional Board of Trade in Washington,
a powerful association, composed OF
representatives from most of the great
commercial bodies of the United States.
The organization represents a combined
capital of billions of dollars employing
several hundred thousand workers; 1t
has been a strong factor In urging
legislation on various important In
ternal works; 1t was the first OF the
great commercial bodies of the East
to advocate the passage of the national
irrigation law and 1t has a regular
standing committee on forestry and
irrigation.
The report of the organization this
year is most interesting and reads as
follows -
1t Is gratifying to note that much
Of the legislation on Forestry and IT.
rigation matters which has been con-
sistently urged by the National Board
Of Trade has been enacted into law.
The National Board was the first or
ganization representing the CONNER
cial interest of the whole country to re-
commend a national irrigation PeAaT
and June II, 1902 a National Irri-
cation law was enacted. There Is In
the Irrigation Fund at the present
time about $50, 000, 900 which Is in
creasing from the sale of public lands
at the rate of at least, $3,000,00O a
year.
In the matter of Forestry legislation
the National Board of Trade recon-
mended the passage Of the bill pro-
viding for the consolidation of the
various forestry branches of the
Government into the Bureau of Fores-
try of the Department of Agriculture.
This bill was enacted into law at the
last session Of Congress.
The National Board Of Trade has
stood against the practice Of exchang-
ing worthless "scrip" land in the
national forest reserves for valuable
public lands outside of the reserves
and has repeatedly recommended the
repeal of the law permitting this prac-
tice. This law was repealed at the last
session of Congress.
At the last meeting Of the National
Board, opposition was expressed to
what was known as the GAO Acre Home
stead bills-increasing the homestead
entry In parts of South Dakota. Colo
RADIO and in Montana from 100 acres to
GAO acres; these bills were all defeated
at the last session of Congress.
Much, however, remains to be done.
The National Board of Trade has con-
sistently advocated the saving of the
great public domain for the use Of the
real homemaker as against the land
and timber grabber and the Spectator.
Trade and m will increase as
population increases, and IL National
land policy should be administered to
preserve our remaining half billion
acres of public lands for those who will
build homes Upon them. AS laws which
tend to overcome this policy the Ma
tional Board has continuously, since
it's meeting in January, 1902, urged the
repeal of the Timber and Stone Act.

MOTHER OF SENATOR DICK OF OHIO.

he was very proud when he acquired
a half interest in a feed and machinery
establishment. All this time however,
he kept studying at night to gain an
education, and to achieve something
better than an anxious interest In the
market price of oats. The good motner
who looks down upon him in the Sen
ate can recall with much pride the
struggles of the son to better his place
in the world and she did her part 10
helm him. He went into politics and
elected county auditor before he
80. This is always the best once
in any courthouse and gave the young
man a start not only in politics but
in business. His activity and shrewd-
ness in local elections led to his Sc
lection In 1892 as chairman or the
state executive committee. He won
the election by such a small majority
that there was no glory In 1t, but the
following year he managed the second
election of Mckinley as Governor with
splendid results. Later he went to
Congress from the old Garfield dis
trict and when Hanna died, came 10
the senate by unanimous vote.
Mrs. Dick is of fine appearance, not
vet 70 and remains calmly complacent
over the romantic career o.. her son
who may yet achieve still higher
henors.

THE PRIVATE DETECTIVES.

OF BUSINESS EMPLOYEES.

Some Clever Schemes iCr SWindllng
Firms and CorporatiOns-Sharps
Who Make a Regular Business OF
Getting Damages.
In no other country in the world, are
30 many private detectives employed
as In the United States.
Every great corporation has its stan
of secret service" men, many of them
recruited from the detective forces OF
European countries.
The chief occupation of these com
mercial detectives Is to protect the
various institutions they represent
from the depredations of professional
ewindlers of all kinds.
These Crooks" are a formidable
army. Groups Of them travel from city
to city, connecting and carrying out
frauds of all kinds, aided in their ne
farious plans by 'shady" lawyers, ply
s~icians, and even, at times, by the en-
ployes Of the corporations which they
seek to vtctimize. .
Insurance companies are the favorite
prey of this robber bands.
OF one audacious swindler, who was
recently brought to justice, 1t Is stated
that, assisted by his confederates, he
defrauded even different accident in
surance companies of sums aggregat-
ing some $13, 200.
Had he varied his method, 1t Is quite
likely this particular crook" would
still be reaping a golden harvest. But
he repeated his device too often.
His trick consisted in slipping on
q piece of soap while taking a bath,
and sustaining severe internal in.
juries." He always had a doctor (of
course, a c~onfederate) to testify to
the serious nature of his accident; but,
although the trick in itself was diff.
cult Of detection, a constant repetition
Of 1t naturally awakened suspicion,
and led to the downfall of the swindler.
Some of the sharps pose as mechan-
les, and prey upon employers OF labor,
their method being to pretend to sus-
tain some injury in the course of their
work. Aided by shyster doctors and
lawyers they bring actions for dam
ages. Sometimes by taking out acct
dent insurance policies, they contrive
to gain a double share of plumber.
Railway companies are victimiZed
IN much the same fashion-that is to
say by bogus claims for injuries and
accidents. In these cases the FRAUDS
are generally more elaborate, involving
not only the services OF 5ishonest
doctors and lawyers, but the testimony
Of witnesses paid to perjure them
selves.
OF one group of railway sharpers,
the ringleaders Of which were brought
to justice, 1t came out in the evidence
that they made more than $4,000 q
year by their practices.
A real railway accident. especially one
of any magnitude, is a perfect wind
fall to some of these rogues, II they are
anywhere in the vicinity.

Every now and then there Is a sharp
passage at arms in Congress between
the East and the West. In fact some
of the rather prominent men of Con-
gress still seem to think that the West
is a separate country, and not In
reality a part of the United States and

DOings in New York.

The wife of a Wall street millionaire,
whose name in New York is almost a
household word, as the police declare,
unwittingly furnished the password to
a magnifcently furnished poolroom for
fashionable women at an uptown ad-
dress the other day and the place was
raided by the police. In it were twenty
women, whose finely appointed equip
ages awaited them in the street.
The appeals of the women, members
of some of New York's wealthiest fami-
lies, when the detectives and officers
gained entrance to the drawing room
and revealed themselves, formed a
thrilling tableau. Several women went
on their knees to the detectives. They
offered their rings, watches-anything
they possessed-rather than face the ex-
posure of arrest or even the chance Of
their identities becoming known.
One woman clasped the detective
sergeant by the knees as she knelt,
pleading for her liberty. Another tore
her rings from her fingers, and offered
them all to him, saying: eff my name
is known there will be murder or sui
eide in my home, for my husband will
either kill me or / shall kill myself"

Is Disease a Crime :?
