A DETECTIVE
CRACKSMAN

No one would suspect Lieutenant

lie played the role of cracksman on
one occasion, nevertheless, and If you
pin him down to II he'll cdmit that he
can do as neat job on a "box" as
any pete man" in the business.
The lieutenant, who has the reputa-
tion of knowing more safe robbers
than any other thief catcher in the
United States, received telegram one
day in July, 1908, from the president
of an express company asking him to
go to Philadelphia, where a test was
to be made of "burglarproof" safe.
A few weeks before that the express
company had installed q safe on one
of its cars running out of Chicago,
which the manufacturers declared was
practically burglar,proof. An order for
several hundred of the safes was
about to be placed d>with the manufac-
turers, when the one that was made as
sample was blown by train robbers
near Davenport, la. This, of course,
Cancelled negotiations toward the let
ting of the contract, but the safe man
ufacturers pleaded for time in which
to make another strong box that
would Withstand the assault of all the
burglars in the land.
The express company was as anx-
ious to get burglar-proof safe as
were the manufacturers to make one,
so the officials agreed 10 equip all the
company's cars with new safes If they
proved TO be impervious to train rob
bers A four-ton safe was built for
the experiment, and as hundreds of
thousands of dollars depended upon
its being able to withstand the attack
of cracksmen, expense was not spared
in it's manufacture.
At last II was completed, and the
manufacturers notified the express
company officials that they had sue.
ceeded in making a safe that all h.
couldn't open unless the combination
was known. The president of the ex-
press company, who, by the way was a
United States senator, began to look
around for handy man who under
stood the gentle art of cracking a safe.
He asked few senators and some
congressman II they knew anything
about the business, and one or two of
them became indignant. Failing to
get any information on the subject at
Washington, he wrote to BILLY" Pin
kerton, explaining what he wanted.
The noted detective answered the sen
ator'n letter, recommending Lieuten-
ant Larkin as the very man for the
job" A day or two later Lieutenant
LarlSin received telegram from the
president of the express company urg-
ing him TO start East at once The
message advised him to see William

that night and was in Philadelphia "a
hours later The safe was waiting for

The safe was loaded on a truck and
taken to Washington Park, a pleasure

the passengers. The construction of the tunnel would deprive them of all most all the revenue which they derive from the constant exchange of goods and passengers between France anl the United Kingdom. In 1905 the capita tion and tonnage taxes amounted in round numbers to $12o,O0O for Calais and to nearly $170000 for Boulogne. This revenue serves as a guarantee for the port extensions and improvements at Bculogne, reckoned at $1.50o,o00. It is estimated that the tunnel would dimin- ish the trade of Boulogne by nearly two-thirds, while the condition of Ca- lais would be still worse, since it is more entirely dependent upon it's com nercial relations with England than Boulogne.
 As the tunnel scheme is once more knocked into a cooked hat the Frenehmen need not be afraid of it un- til the Englishmen are not, and that time doesn't seem to be near.

roo BAD.

Frederick T. Gates, John D. Rockefel- ler's almoner, makes a statement con- cerning MT. Rockefeller's fortune and ircome which may be assumed to be authoritative. He says: "The facts are that MT. Rockefeller has at various times himself authorized @ statement that his fortune cannot exceed $250, ,000,- 900 to $3OO,OOO,OOO. Furthermore, his in- come, instead of being $1OO,OOOOOO, or anything like it, cannot in his most prosperous year have exceeded $15,0OO,- coo to $2O,OOO,OOO."
 Too bad! Not because MT. Rockefel- Ter Is not richer, and not because he is so rich. Too bad because the rest of us must now come down several pegs in our ideals and ambitions, To be as rich as Rockefeller has been to us to be worth a billion. Three hundred mill lion looks small after that, but perhaps we can adjust ourselves to the new standard.

MORE cHEERFuL FOE HIM.

The dog has been so busy about hls muzzle lately that he hasn't had time to read much, but there is some better reading for him than there has been. The Rhode Island House of Represent atives didn't pay much attention to the request of the Providence city council for legislation designed practi- cally to provide for the whole State the same restraint of dogs that is now en- forced by municipal ordinance. Simi- lar evidence that the dog has friends newly stirred in his behalf by the cru sade that is being prosecuted against him is afforded by the action of the House of Representa- lives, which, by a vote of 107 to S5, re- fused to give authority to the Metro politan Park Commission to kill un- dogs. An amendment provid- ing that dogs unmuzzled shall be turn ed over to the local authorities for re- straint, but not for slaughter was adopted.
 The Providence Journal puts the sit uation about as it is when it says: The feeling seems to be growing that the rabies scare" has gone about far enough, and that, while ordinances and regulations so far enforced may have accomplished some good, there is no sufficient ground for rushing to ex- tremes. It was significant that none of the members of the medical profess sion in the House seemed to care to go on record as in favor of this sort of legislation, while one representative intimated that there might be reason to fear some trouble when the day came to release the dogs from leash and muzzle after ttleir unnatural re- straint.
 There will soon be weather not calcu- lated to make anybody or anything mad, and then the dog will have his day again. He will feel so good then that he will forget his days of bondage.
