George w. Homans of Brooklyn,
whose uncle, Jonathan Homans, was
killed on the Polly during one of her
engagements with British vessels.
Mrs. Lincoln proudly displayed the
Polly's log book of the war.
The Polly was one of the fastest

strike blow or two for his country
as well and make some money while
doing so.
SO the Polly sailed from Salem
(Mass) harbor on Dec. 7, 1912. armed
with letters of marque, and proceeded
to scour the coasts for British prey.
Two days later he encountered a full
rlgged ship flying the union Jack, and
after short engagement the Polly

that those vessels are scrap iron, while,
she, the privateering terror Of the war
of 1912, is still transacting business
and will probably be doing the same
when some modern Dreadnoughts are
at the bottom of the ocean or being
bid In by junk dealers.
Though 100 years of age, the Polly
made the trip from Boston to New
York to receive the memorial tablet
and beat out the Oliver Ames, the
largest two masted schooner afioat, in
doing so. The tablet donors. the New
York Chapter of the Daughters of
1912, could not make the trip to Mas
sachusetts, so the Polly and her own
er obligingly came to them, stopping
for n few days the coastwise trade in
which she is now engaged.
A little trip like that is nothing to the
Polly, for she has been around the
world twice and rounded Cape Horn
six times, carrying cargoes from New
York to California during the gold
rushes OF 1910.
Captain Joseph II. Weldon, the pres.
ent skipper, who says he purchased
the Polly for purely sentimental rea-
sons, proudly displayed his vessel to
the Daughters. The boat is sixty-one
feet over all and is built a.ong Dutch

WILLIAM ]. FLYNN.

Mayor Gaynor has promised to attend
to that end of the battle. 1t is intend
ed that for the first time since King
Georges sway was overthrown New
York city shall have detectives I'm fact
and not policemen attired in civilian
costume. AS each policeman must
continually meet certain physical re-
quirements, the detective force con-
sists Of men gigantic in physique, but
often pygmies In intellect.
That Is the basis on which the Unit
ed States government runs its secret
service and postoffice inspection corps,
and consequently 1t has real detectives.
Curiously enough. Flynn, though Sc
cret service detective through and
through, looks like policeman, for he
is huge physically. He began his ma
ture career as plumber, but got into
the governments detective work In
1897 and after year and half of 1t
was put In charge Of the Plttsburg
division and then was transferred to
New York, where he has been In
charge for about ten years.
Flynn won his spurs In the secret
service chiefly by his skill in rounding
up counterfeiters, but he has handled
many big matters that required deli
cacy and insight. When the Russian
anc Japanese peace commissioners held
their session at Portsmouth, N. H., 1t
was Flynn who was assigned TO SUI
perlntend the guard kept over the Wis
itors' lives. Other notable foreign Wis
itors have also been placed in the care
of Flynn, and he has never failed. He
has also made a reputation by his
skill In secret Investigations made for
the state department at the request of
foreign governments.
Flynn's amusements are of simple
character. In fact, this big crime de-
tector admits that he would rather
spend all his spare time In his garden
among his flowers, vegetables and
truck than attend q baseball game,
even, and that is pastime thai stands
high In his Estimation. He used to
play semiprofessional ball himself,
and that may account for his fondness
for attending the big league contests
in New York. His garden, by the
way, is one of the few remaining on
Manhattan Island.

This new move on the part Of Mayor
Gaynor has attracted wide interest In
Americas biggest center of population,
often called the "city Of undetected
crime" When the mayor decided to
reorganize his police department he
selected James G. Cropsey, a Brooklyn
lawyer, for police commissioner, who
is the judicial head; Clement j. Drls-
coll, former newspaper man, first dep
uty, who is to clean the Augean sta
bles of crime, and the second deputy,
Flynn, who is to hunt the criminals
and head the criminal hunters.
To the general public Flynn has
been a nonentity because, not having
served in the Gotham police depart
ment before, he has not been accused
of graft, politics and the like. In fact
the city had to raid the federal secret
service to find its new chief of the de-
tective bureau.
The appointment of Flynn means q
new departure for New York, and an
attempt will be made to organize some

DANv1LLE WET BY 10.
Distributing Point for Much Dry
Territory.

Danville, Va, April %. -Specias to
Dispatch. The vets carried the day
in today's election and won out with
majority of ten votes out OF one
/, 154 cast.
Richmond Pearson Hobson was the
principal speaker of the day for the
"Drys.
The election was the quietest of its
kind ever held here. There was q
great deal of interest manifested but
it was devoid of bitter partisanism.
Previous to the election the Anti-Sa-
loon League and, indeed, all those
interested on the prohibition side had
been attending regularly meetings held
in that interest, which were addressed
by the principal speakers of the state,
and by Governor Glenn of North Caro-
lima, as well as other North Carolin-
ians. Those who favored license had
held no meetings, nor attemped either
through the press or by public speak
ing to controvert the arguments of
the drys The election passed off with
out incident, but it is believed that
the full vote of each side was polled.
The drys had confidently expected
to carry the day by a majority of
from so to 100 votes. April Is two
years ago, the Anti-Saloon League
forces paraded the streets and men,
women and children were in the pa
rade and Danviile went dry at that
time by 45 majority. The same tac-
tics, however, were not adopted this
time. Seven years ago Danville went
dry by majority of over 200 votes.
Then the people tired of that condi-
tion and voted back the saloons. This
varying policy has been kept up until
today when the town went wet by 10
majority.
Danville, April 29.-The victory OF
the wet forces here yesterday has q
wide significance. It means that the
dry States of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia, south of here,
will be enabled to order whiskey
easier. This city promises to develop
into one of the largest mail order
liquor towns in the country, and the
whiskey men anticipating the victory,
have secured options on practically
every place in the city suitable for
the operation of their business.
The dry leaders are deeply disap-
pointed and but few of them were on
the streets last night.
Danville was one Of the pioneers of
the larger cities Of the South to sue
cumb to the prohibition wave, and
there is probably not another place
where the people have been afforded
better opportunity Of studying the
difference in dry and wet town from
the respective standpoints. Despite
this opportunity of arriving at
conclusion as to which of the policies
is the best, the sentiment of the vot-
ers has in the past been almost
evenly divided.
