coat, handkerchief and bits of cloth

deavoring to have the coat identi-
fled and they are asking close
friends of Crippen if they can iden-
tify the coat as the property of the
missing man.
The mystery of the case deepens
as the detectives work.
Instead of adding helpful clues,
they find that the new evidence as
1t is discovered upsets their theory
of the case.
The flesh cut from the body

that he detectives from Scotland

The affair came up over the order
prohibiting the sprinkling of streets
by the property owner. Take it on
streets with car lines, especially
with double tracks, you will find a
worse condition than complained of
by Mr.. Cowles, and remedied for
him very promptly. True, the CON-
pany shoots car of water over
the track enthusiastically, and the
city has water wagons squirt a
little water along the edges, but
for all the good they do you might
just as well use sprinkling can on
the streets and try to lay the dust.
Then the sprinklers stop about
or o'clock in the evening, and
the cars run until l or o'clock at
night, al 1.-The time at such speed

swept onto the porches and into
the houses along the way. The peo-
pie are willing to stand and wet
down this nuisance themselves to

not occupying the same position
held by some others. However,

states, more than one-half the total

been made for the Improvement OF

the amount available Is entirely made
quate. This condition of affairs IL
perhaps largely due to the misunder
standing, or rather lack Of apprecia,

rural communities especially it ha.
been considered wholly as a vehicle OF
