OF DETECTIVES
THE NET IS DRAWN TIGHT
Powerful Influences Behind Most Re-
markable Trap Ever Laid for
Public Men

The most startling devel-
opment in the Gary graft
cases is the growing belief
that Thomas D. Dean, of the

pany, of Louisville, KY, is
the star detective of the fa-
nous William j. Burns
agency.
This clears up a number Of
things about the arrests of

Ito be true, there is no hope
for those under arrest, for

II must be apparent then that if the
franchise is worthless the $4,000 or
$4,000 spent in bribe money must
have ben the price that some one was
willing to pay to clean up Gary. Who
is putting up the money is one of the
interesting developments of the fu-
ture
1t is possible that the men who
stroye to build city on the shores
of Lake Michigan that would reflect
credit on themselves and on the great
corporation which it represents, were
willing to spend $4,000 to cure the
municipality of the rancoring tumor
of graft with which it had become af-
fiicted shortly after it came into be-
ing.

So William J. Burns was employed.
Burns, the man who gets results, was
told to go to Gary and spare no ex-
pense in giving the city the most thor
ough cleaning that municipality ever
had.
And Burns picked Dean to do the
work. Gave him unlimited resources,
gave. him the benefit of his wonder
fui experience, told him how to con-
ceal the dictographs, how to mark

NEW EVIDENCE FOUND
IN THE ELLExSON CASE

Evidence that would have been of
much value to the prosecution during
the trial of T. r. Ellexson, convicted
of the murder of Waldo Perry at
Union last summer, was uncovered
last week near Union station when
man named Chadwick, who is work.
ing as a butcher for the Hot Lake
company, found a time book used by
Ellexson while he was employed at
Union and at Baker, says the La
Grande Observer.
The book was found near wire
fence, indicating that it had been
dropped when the owner was craw-
ling between the wires. The discov-
cry is of especial Importance to JUS
tify the conviction attained on cir
cumstantial evidence, in that it al
most undisputably contradicts the
story told by Ellexson in hts self de
fense. Followers of that hideous
crime will remember that Ellexson
claimed to have boarded train at
Telocaset; in fact the prosecution
could not bring him nearer to the
scene of the crime than Telocaset.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
bis body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimpies which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come of when l removed his
shirt
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. | used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured He had suffered
about six weeks before We tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. l think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"

ponds OF Faux Bianches and the Midi
Canal were covered with fish floating
about On the surface in helpless and

customs officials were the unwilling
cause of this phenomenon They had
seized $4,000 gallons of "doctored"
Spanish wine at the frontier station
and disposed of it by emptying it into

caught with the hand and the local
fishermen were quick to take advan-

CONVERSES WITH ANIMALS

Charles Kellogg of California. who.
If not nature-faker. is one of the
most remarkable human beings of all
time, arrived at Cambridge. Mass, re-
Gently from Paris to confer with pro-
lessons from Harvard's department Of
science, confident that he could con-
vince them Of his ability to converse
with animals. Mr. Kellogg has just
returned from Europe, where he gave
demonstrations of his unique power
before professors of the universities
of Paris and Berlin. According to
Mr.. Kellogg, he has accomplished in
reality during a life spent in the Wilds
of the Sierra Nevada mountains in
California what the genius Of Kipling
makes Mowgli accomplish during
childhood passed in the tropical jun,
giles. But Kellogg has for friends only

can west He knows not the language
of the tropical monkey, though he has
often talked bear" with the grizzlies

guages Mr.. Kellogg speaks iuently.

gradually extended my study to in
clude such wild animals and reptiles
as the bear, the lizard and the rattle

les modelled upon the modern Chinese
system, | have compiled a dictionary
of the language of the ordinary brown
or hearth cricket, which has the most
highly developed language of any or
the animals | am familiar with, though

system not unlike that of the Ger
mans. The number of words or SOUNDS

Although Mr.. Kellogg admits that
his ability to interpret the enuncia-
tons of animals is the result OF long
and arduous study. he insists that his
ability to make himself understood to
initiate the sounds of these animals
is God-giyen He says he can without
the least difficulty reproduce any
sound that comes from an animaFs
