Too Much Like Populists.
Raleigh Times

| Raleigh Times
We print below an editorial fro m
Major London's paper, the Chatham
Record, in which he says that some
OF the members of the Legislature,
who are SO hostile to the railroads.
are not only unfair and unjust, but
as wild as ever any populists were in
their ideas Of railroad legislation
The people concur.
Likewise the people have about
reached the conclusion that this dis
play of malice and bitterness is not
due SO much to the present-day evils
as it Is to a desire on somebody s
part to ride into office. Already the
newspapers have said that the Leg
islature is regarded as menace
Now comes good man who reminds
US that the members are as bad as
the populists, and there is all the evi-
dence in the world to support the
charge.
We quote his language:
"SOme members of our Legislature
are so blinded by prejudice against
railroad companies, or SO eager to
be on what they think is the popular
side, that they are not only unfair
and unjust but as wild as ever any
populists were in their ideas of rail
road legislation. We are pleased to
know that such legislators are in the
minority, and that the more con-
servative Legislators will be able to
| check their unjust efforts.
''rhe people of North Carolina are
fair-minded and are willing that JUS
tice be done even to railroad com
panies, and they do not regard all
railroad officials as their enemies and
unworthy OF any confidence. North
Carolina has never had more useful
citizens or devoted sons than Major
John c. Winder, Col. Julius Gray,
Col. A. B. Andrews and many other
railroad officials, who have done SC
much for the upbuilding OF our good
old State and who deserve praise in.

Newspapers and Railroads.


Editors are not entitled to any
more gratuities at the hands OF the
railroads than other people, and we
think a large majority OF the editors
OF North Carolina neither ask horde
sire such gratuities. At the same time
newspapers should not be prohibited
from making legitimate advertising
contracts with railroads, and any
legislation looking to that end is
wrong. If a railroad wants space in
a newspaper and the edit or of such
paper is willing to accept mileage
book of equal value to the sp nee used
i'm payment for such ADVERTISE ing, it
is purely a business transaction that
affects only the two parties concern
ed. Mr. Justices bill pending in the
legislature to deny newspapers and
railroads making such contracts is
beyond reason. 1t would be just as
reasonable to propose law that
would deny an editor the privilege of
accepting farmers wood orproduce
OH subscription account, or the mer-
chants goods on advertising ac-
count. Neither is Mr.. Justice g prOpo-
sition to compel railroads to adver-
tise in all newspapers in towns touch
ed by the railroads wise. 1t would
be unfair to the railroads to force
them to advertise where they did not
want to or it was not to their inter-
est to do so. The law regarding con-
tracts between newspapers and rail
roads would be better to remain as
it is.

CMrs Robley d. Evans, wife of Admiral
Bob" Evans, and sister of Admiral Tay-
lor, took an important part in the work OF
relieving the sufferings of sick and wound
ed soldiers and sailors during the Spanish
American war. She found able assistants
in her work in her two daughters, VINO
placed themselves under the tuition of
trained nurse so that they might work
with skill and knowledge among the
stricken men,
A great man found the work of the
women of the United States in the
civil war worthy of commemoration
in one of his great speeches, and al
though no one has as yet paid like
tribute to the work of our women dur
ing the Spanish war it is not less wor-
thy of some record.
The difference between the work of
the four years from 1861 to 1865 and
that of the four months from April to
August, 1898, was difference OF
quantity, not of kind. The spirit which
prompted and sustained it was OF the
same high quality.
The strain upon mind and heart and
soul was less during the Spanish war
by the absence of the corroding terror
that danger to the nation caused dur
ing the war of the rebellion. 1t was
perhaps more trying because of the
question which must arise in the
| strongest heart as to whether the deal

San Francisco.-William ]. Burns,
rthe United States secret service agent
who trapped every member of San
.Francisco's corrupt board of supervis-
,ors into a full confession of their
guilt, is called "the king of detec-
ttives."
Although Burns has this interna-
,tional reputation as detective, 1t is
hard for his intimates to remember
always that Burns is a detective.
Thus Francis j. Heney, the prosecu-
tor with whom Burns has worked
through the land fraud cases in Ore
fgon and in the San Francisco Doodle
~cnses, finds his associate a source of
continual surprise.
Burns amuses me-" said Heney

Later, when Chief Wilkie and

"Wilkie was standing beside me

enough for the two men under arrest
to hear:
"'That's funny. Jacobs told us

Burns he said, how many men
have you got under arrest in this
case?
II named every man who was con-
nected with the case. None of them
was under arrest at the time.
"'That's enough for me- said Bird
dell. We don't make any more trou-
BILE for you.
HE gave me his full confession on
the spot. 1t was opening the letter
that did the trick. OF course Jacobs
had told us nothing"
Counterfeiters Caught.
An illustration of careful detective
work is Burns method in running
down two counterfeiters from Cen
trail America. They were Gen. Freder.
leo Mora and Ricardo de Requisens
These two men had been making
counterfeits in the United States OF
the 100 peso notes of Costa Rico. Oul
government was asked to apprehend
the counterfeiters, and Burns was en-
trusted with the job Others hat
worked at it before, but all Burns hat
to start with was a sofa wrapped III
in burlap in which $3,000,000 of the
counterfeit notes had been stuffed fol
shipment to Costa Rica. On the bur
lap was the mark, Xxx 1884"
Starting from this, Burns found tina
the burlap had been originally uset
in packing a shipment of overalls from
factory in Newburg. 1t was thu

, went over the hooks of the factor.
and found that those particular over
alls had been shipped to dry good
store in Long Island City. There the,
I told him that they had recently soil
: a piece of burlap to an old lady b.
: the name of Mrs. Chevins. 1t did no
look promising.
But when Burns learned that Mrs
Chevins had a son-in-law, one Rical

= ia Rica, he thought the trail was ge
q ting warm.

can take one of my men and let
you talk with him; then bring him in
tomorrow and let you see him and
you would not believe him the same
man. Here in San Francisco every
one knows meat least all the graft
ers do-so it would be useless to
try disguise"
Burns methods all through the
Ruef case have been surprisingly open,
When he started out to capture Ruef
after his friends, the sheriff and the
coroner, had been pretending to
search for him in vain for a week,
Burns assembled his posse in half
dozen automobiles in front of Heney's
office; with Ruef's lawyers offices but
half a block away He had ten men
with him, but the open way with
which he went about the job made
the attorneys for the CRATER think it
must be all ruse, and no effort was
made to follow the party. They went
straight to the resort at the Troca-
dero in the outskirts of San Francis
CO, where Burns knew that Ruef was
in hiding. Burns had the house sur
rounded; then he walked in and sur
prised Ruef at dinner. He had his
man back at Heney's Office within
three hours.
Surprising Bribe-Taker.
OF his present work Burns himself
says: This San Francisco case is one
of the most interesting l have ever
had. OF course municipal graft cases
are all somewhat alike. You know
who the men are who have got official
favors. The first thing to do is to
single out the official who you think
will accept a bribe, and then get
at him by inducing him to accept what
he thinks is a bribe. OF course your
money is marked. Then you surprise
him in the act After that you have
him cold. Through him you get at the
bribe-givers.

I~but one of the newspapers got wint

What Burns had done was to induce
the proprietor of a skating rink whit
had fallen out with Mayor Schmitz t
have an ordinance in his favor intro
duced in the board of supervisors
Then he arranged to buy the vote o
one of them-Lonergan by name-fo

FIRST CASE UNDER
AN OLD LIQUOR LAW.
Fined SIS and Costs for Sc
curing Whisky by Mis-
representation.

Poseyville, Ind, April 27.-The law
and Order league, Of the previous ex-
istence of which little was known,
filed a complaint against John Heck
man, a farmer, alleging that he made
false statement in order to secure
a quart of whiskey from Joseph F.
Shafer, druggist
The bottle fell into the hands Of
members of the league when it was in
possession Of William E. Elliott, and
it had on it a label showing it was
bought for medicinal purposes. The
testimony showed 1t was bought for
Elliott by Hickman, who made a false
statement to get it. The jury found
Hickman guilty, and he was fined$25
and costs. 1t is the first case tried
under the Beardsley law in this part
of the State, and it attracted consid-
cradle attention.
