anarchists, wise in their generation,
have decentralized themselves and are
to be found scattered over the poorer
industrial suburbs of the marvellous and
constantly growing metropolis.
AS an example Of the hopeless efforts
of London and London police to cope
with the criminal classes of the world
the Tottenham case is cited. 1t is only
oneyof a dozen or more, perhaps less
serious, but still based on the same
cause and producing the same result
and happening ON the busiest thorough
fares of London. The case has excited
comment in the world over and Is one
of the most remarkable affairs that
modern London has seen, reminding
Americans of an episode In the earlier
days on the frontiers of the Wild West.
1t appears from the facts at hand
that Albert ]. Keyworth, a messenger
in the employ of Messrs. Schnurrmann
of the India Rubber works, in Chestnut
road, Tottenham, was bringing $500 to
the plant In motor car and was
speeding at good rate when two men,
said to be Russians and anarchists,
fired several shots through the wind
screen, held up the car and succeeded
in taking the money and getting away
Then they tried to make their escape
First they pressed an electric tram-car
into service and for five miles gave
their pursuers merry chase, during
which time they fired hundreds Of shots
and succeeded in lnjuring sixteen per-
sons, fatally wounding lad by the
name of Jocelyn, 10 years Of age, and
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1909-05-07

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft would
use an automobile during his term as
president, much rivalry developed
among the leading manufacturers for
the honor of selling him car and the
public watched with interest to see
what Mr.. Taft's choice would be. The
knowing ones predicted that the White
Steamer would be selected and they
pointed out that President Roosevelt
had used White Steamers for two years
at his summer home at Oyster Bay and
had recommended this make to Mr..
Taft as the most desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely on
Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation but.
with his usual thoroughness, determin-
ed to have an investigation made of all
the principal makes. Accordingly, he
asked several officers of the War de-
partment to look into the matter for
him and they tested many makes of
cars, visited number of factories so
that they might see what materials
were used and. finally, they investigat-
ed the records of the different types of
cars in public contests and in private
service.
