Publicity Gaining Favor.

If England had had newspapers and
newspaper men Of the aggressive
American type no doubt more informa-
ton would have been extracted from
the redoubtable C. |. d. OF late years
1.-The Yard" itself has shown signs of
realizing that publicity might not be Il
bad thing at times and has used less
reserve in its relations with the news
papers.
After DR.. Crippen and Miss lie Nevc
had given Inspector Dew the slip the
latter was only too glad to have the
newspapers furnished with complete
description and photographs of the
fugitive. not to mention few details
of the crime.
Any one inclined to lie scOrnful of the
conservative methods of Scotland Yard
might find material for fun in the fact
that it tried for a long time to get
along without telephones and only
installed them two years ago. This
does indeed reveal conservatism, but
the scornful person must take into
account the fact that telephones have
not been in general use in London
much longer. Oshkosh Wis, is very
swift to adopt modern improvements.
New York is slower, and london is
slower still.

There Lies the Difference.

An American detective would have
realized all this and have been actually
expecting the fourscore newspaper re-
porters and photographers. AS nearly
as can be made out, the stoid Scot
land Yard man never even dreamed
of such thing.
More than one American will argue
GERS are a slow witted and clumsy 60
ing lot. Conan Doyle did good deal
to create this impression, for after
most of Sherlock Holmes brilliant
deductive triumphs the author brought
in Snug inspector from the Yard"
and let him make himself odious to
the reader by taking all the credit
which properly belonged to the re-
markable Holmes.
This is literary fiction eXtraordi-
narily far from true. Scotland Yard
is the greatest crime detecting organ
ization in existence. Any person
versed in detective work will admit
as much. No country has more
effective bureau. The New York CEN
trail office is not it's equal-certainly
not its superior. taken rs Il whole. Its
men have many characteristics which
seem unlitting--even absurd-from an
American viewpoint. but the things
they accomplish are great
Conan Doyle's stories really prove
this. for they were all based on Scot
land Yard exploits recounted to him
by Scotland Yard men. The wonder
full feats of deduction attributed to
Sherlock Holmes, though undoubtedly
made more remarkable by the author,
were founded on real cases.
Sir Edward Richard Henry is pres
ent commissioner of police in London
and receives $4,000 a year. He is the
man who suggested thumb prints as Il
means of identifying criminals. This
system has been adopted in most Of
the countries of the civilized world.
The police headquarters of the met
ropolitan district of London are at Scot
land Yard. and from this fact the
c. l. d.. or criminal investigation de
partment. takes its name. Frank
Froest, whose name has appeared fire.
0uently in the London cables on the
Crippen case. is the superintendent of
Scotland Yard.

Conditions Differ From America.


In order to understand the work of
these English police it must be remem-
bered that they have entirely different
kinds of criminals to contend with
Thereon rather they have the same
kinds in entirely different proportions.
They have far fewer murders than
the police on this side. America, of all
modern civilized countries, is the place
in which murder is practiced most
ruthlessly and abundantly. There's a
reason, of course. America has those
hordes of foreigners pouring in at
Ellis island constantly, and those
hortles include the refuse of European
nations, and this refuse furnishes
large proportion of the crimes which
so swell the homicide statistics.
They have few safe crackers and
bank robbers nowadays. America is
the field for that sort of operations
because its population is diffuse, its
stores and banks are less safely guard
ed, its habits are more careless, and its
criminals. nevertheless. are of the clev-
crest. England is a compact country.
we'll settled. well protected, place
where all the means of prevention have
been developed to the highest degree.
In that word prevention is the key TO
much of the work of Scotland Yard.
That wonderful police machine bends
all its energies to prevent crime. so
that it will not have to go to the effort
of limiting down the criminal after the
wrong has been committed.
Stool Pigeons Always There.
Scotland Yard has huge number of
stool pigeons and informants. None
of these are ever known as being in
the employ of "the Yard" but they go
their accustomed way. mingling with

RTCHESON WANTS THE
 GAME LAWS REPEALED

Russellville, December 23.-Franklin county's representative in the coming ses- sion of the Alabama legislature, Prof. Charles G. Richeson, is preparing to make hard fight for the repeal of certain rortions of the Alabama game and fish law, more especially so far as the law relates to Franklin county. For the past few months MT. Richeson has made a special study of the law and has come to a conclusion that certain portions of the law are not for the best advantage for the people of this part of the state.
 My fight" said MT. Rioheson, will be made especially on the clause in the law relating to the killing of squirrels. I am of the opinion that this part of the law should be repealed entirely. After making a thorough study of the law, 1t will be easy to realize that there are points in the act of the last legislature re- lating to this law that are not for the best interests of the people of Alabama. Another feature of the law which I am preparing to make a fight on is the clause relating to fish,.

BU[[|SH OUTLOOK
 FOR COTTON TRADE In Spite of Ginning Figures Prices Hold Up Well SPOT MARKETS FIRM Indications Point to Large Export De- mand and Experts Unite in Belief
 That Worlds Consumption
 VIII Be Large

New York, December 23.-It has been an uneventful week measured by the swing of fluctuations in the cotton mar ket. The upshot is that the bulls have about held their ground despite the fact that last Tuesdays census bureaus re- port on the ginning stated that the quan- tity ginned from December l to IS was 55S.77o bales. or something larger than the trade had been led to expect from the figures of the National Ginners as- sociation.
 Based on the total ginned up to Decen- bem IS of o,69S, ,4S2 bales, the crop is es- timated by not a few here at anywhere from 11,5OO.0oo to 1l,G5opo0o ibales, and even Ellison has raised his figures re- garding it to a weekly ratio which points to 12,02O,000 bales for the year. Neill in- sists that 1t will be 12,5O0, 600 bales if the cotton can be had. Bulls inquire how in these circumstances can they logically predict anything but higher prices.
 Manchester trade Is still brisk Ralli Bros. stick to 1t that the East Indian crop will show falling off whatever the East Indian government may say to the contrary. Lancashire's East Indian trade is good. Even an English author ity says that during the last three months there has been a distinct im- provement in the English cotton trade, and that Lancashire spinners are now working at profit. Spot markets at the south have been firm, with a good de- mand.
 The indications point to large export demand. They are already about 475, GOO bales ahead of those for the same time good buyers of May and July, and spin ners have also been among the purchas- CTS.
 If the speculation lacks a broad public character it is also pointed out that there Is little weak long interest in the mar ket. On the other hand. receipts con tinue large, the New England cotton goods situation is described as unfavor- able, the Arkwright club of Boston threatens New England curtailment early in 1911 if trade does not improve, the stock here Is rapidly increasing, Liver pool was latterly sold to some extent and some bulls have sold out In disgust owing to the absence of life and snap in the speculation. Some Insist, too, that the crop has been greatly underesti- mated.
 As the case stands, bulls are more aggressive than the bears. The market in the meantime is really waiting for something new to develop.
 Trade demand at home and abroad is supporting prices in the absence of gen. eraI public speculation,
