WEIRD BURGLARY TALE
AMAZES KNICK HARTER
Great Criminal Catcher Has Nothing that is Superior
to This Thrilling Story.

When old Knick Harter, the iron-faced
detective, read the account of a bur
glary in an eminent morning contem-
porary yesterday he must have cursed
himself for overlooking so many good
bets in his own adventures. Knick Har-
ter has done many things, but he never
equaIed the z. NJ. c. in its description
of a daring robbery in the Nations
Capital.
A rather tired looking man reached
through a window of the home of Mrs.
Clara Hook, 81 G street northwest,
Friday night, and swiped 4s cents worth
of dinner towels. Mrs. Hook saw the
marauder, yelled at him, and so fright
ened him that he dropped the towels
and fed. That is what happened.
But that is not what E. NJ. c. decided
was ethical. The city editor of the pa
per had been a police reporter himself.
He had written novels Of tragic adven-
ture, too. They couldn't fool him.
So the eminent morning contemporary
started with a little fox terrier-a brave
hearted little brute, in whose small
frame beat the heart of Richard Ceour
dLeon, and in whose small head were
teeth like triple rows Of steel. The emf
nent morning contemporary decided that
this mythical little terrier-the terror
izing terrier, one might say-was to
play the hero'S role.
So they led the marauder into the
house. Made him hit Mrs. Hook brutal
waIlop on the jaw. Then, as the pipe
got to going right, they sicked the little

A s4O0,oOO,oOO HAIRCUT

From the New York World.
 That it is no trihe for the Chinaman to cut off his queque Ching Chung Wang proves in the Atlantic Monthly by the higher mathematics he learned in Yale. Even at the low wages prevailing in Chi na it takes a cents worth of time per day to comb and braid each of 10o,oo0.0O0 queques of full-grown men, not counting the boy children. This Is $S65 100000 a year. Queue-cords cost s2oooo,OOo a year more, and 900 would be saved by checking the waste and soiing of cloth- ing by long hair rubbing against it. say s4O5. .OooOoo in all.
 This computation reveals only the be- ginning of the stupendous trade and social problems the general haircut in- wolves. It will hasten the abandonment of clothing in the Chinese style. Hang- chow matters and Chekiang silk-makers cry out in chorus against the haircut and the too rapid modernization of China. It spells their ruin. Soldiers whose hair has been cut have been so ridiculed by their pigtailed messmates that they have de- serted in numbers. All these things have to be thought of. MT. Wang does not mention that if the queues all came off at once the false hair sold in New York to young ladies who fancy those Mrs. Newlywed coiffure effects would be very cheap.
 Mr. Wang is all for the close haircut. "Once an average 'Chinaman' finds his head minus the queue sshe will regard it as his lot to adopt things for- eign." The barbers clippers will mean A. '.reyolution of the thoughts of 400 900 people," They will become modern. Only to avoid political revolution and indus trial panic the Ceestials will clip not all at once but gradually, beginning with the diplomats, already shorn, and the impe- rial princes, and working down the social ladder to the last lone coolie in the rice swamps only when he gets good and ready.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Business Improvement

Business is improving" said T. A. Weller, land agent of the Bessemer Coal. Iron and Land company. There is un- doubtedly a much better feeling in busi- ness circles throughout the Birmingham district than there was few weeks ago. No matter what temporary recession there ,nay be in large industrial opera tiohs here, Greater Birmingham and Bes- semer are going ahead steadily. And when this district enters upon it's next era of high record prosperity. which, by the way, I think will be in the immediate future. the strides that we will make will be greater than ever. Nothing can set Birmingham back It goes forward by leaps and bounds, and in the next four or hve years it's population will have reached the 2OOO00 mark: and when the census of 1920 is taken this city will make a showing of not less than SO0OO0. When l came here to live some years ago 1 could see that Birmingham had a great future. but the growth and general im- provement of this city have exceeded anything that I dreamed of.
 "Bessemer more than holds it's own. It has variety of industries and a large mercantile trade. and realty values there are all the while moving to higher levelsf

 Lorimer had the support last spring of l6 senators. of whom B were republicans and Il democrats. Forty senators voted for his disqualification. Of the 15 mem- bers of the present committee >on privi- leges and elections nine voted for him last March, three voted against him and the other three entered the Senate this session.
 When Lorimer escaped March 1 by a vote of IS to 40 he was saved by the votes of senators whose states at that time had repudiated them. Of the pro- Lorimer senators, Bulkeley, Burrows, Carter, Depew. Dick. Flint, Hale. Kean, Piles and Scott are no longer in the Sen ate. Six of them have been succeeded by democrats. The Il democrats who came to Lorimer,s rescue are all still members of the Senate
 It by no means follows, however, that with the new evidence of bribery that has been brought to light since the last ses- sion of Congress, all of Lorimers former supporters who have retained their seats in the Senate will again venture to affront public opinion by declaring that the pur- chase of a state legislature is no offense.

From the Chicago RecordHerald.
 New use for a savings account In a pos tai bank has been developed by the Bel gian government The small capitalist who holds a bank book may utilize it as a basis of credit for getting access to the worlds literature. The Belgian au- thorities are establishing at Brussels a library of 10000 volumes, and any inhabi- tant of the country who has funds in the governments hands may borrow from this collection and receive by mail any book for a fortnight, upon having cents checked off his account at the postoffice. His account itself serves as guarantee for the return of the book, or pays for the book if return fails.
 As there are about 1900 postoffices in Belgium, the new plan amounts to the creation of a circulating library with that number of branches. Widely diffused good will be accomplished among workers and students, and the government itself be protected from loss.
 Libraries circulating on a wide scale. though in a different form, are not, of course unknown in the United States. But most of them have travelled as an en- tity from point to point, have been the creation of private initiative, and have not been especially we'll protected from loss. The spread of the postal bank sys- tenn recently started in all the states. makes the introduction of the Belgian plan a matter of practicability. The ad- vantages of the plan for small towns with intelligent populations but no IT, braries are obvious.

WHERE NEW YORK DIMES

From the New York World.
 A new restaurant in the theatre district adds new thrill to life for the se- rious New Yorker. Only frivolous persons can regard such an event as of minor importance. When three or four new restaurants are opened in each of which a few hundred people can dine with more or less comfort to music among flowers and mirrors, New Yorks sense of pride and grandeur is as visibly Nncreased as if it were to secure new subway. It gets along with one subway, but 1t can never have enough places to dine.
 New York can breakfast on an egg and a cup of coffee, lunch at a quick-order place near the office, but dinner is a sol- ing it's attractions and with the surround ing country dotted with restaurants with in easy reach by automobile, the choice of one dinner among so many requires as thoughtful consideration as the days bus mess.
 All the while plain New York, which after all is New York, eats it's home- cooked dinner at it's ease in it's own apart ment. The scores of fashionable restau- rants may nightly draw their crowds, in good part of visitors from out of town, and new rivals continually introduce themselves to public favor, but in reality only a small fraction of New York s population is abroad. After all, where New York's millions dine is at home.

Roots Amendment a snag

While protesting to support the re- ciprocity bill the willy Elihu Root has presented an amendment ostensibly in the interest of New York paper mills, but really designed to upset and de- feat the entire bill. Once the door is opened to amendments the bill is as good as defeated.
 MT. Roots proposed amendment provides that there shall be no free exchange of wood pulp and paper products under the agreement until the export tax imposed by Quebec, New Brunswick and one other pro- vince on wood pulp from their crown lands is removed. The export tax in those provinces does not apply to pri- vately owned lands. Crown lands are lands that have reverted to the pub lie from the crown. In this country such lands are called public or gov ernment lands.
 The Root proposition is not valu- able in any respect except for dlla- tory purposes. It is shrewd way of defeating the entire agreement, and it was devised for that purpose prompted to be sure by the paper trust which Root specially represents.
 Anything is possible in body that proposes to consume three months reckoning from the start, to pass tho reciprocity bill. Between Root anc Penrose, both apparently favoring the reciprocity bill, many underground devices are possible. The whole mat ter may go over to 1912 when the people will express their views on the subject, and they will put those views in little boxes that cannot be upset by the interests or their sena- tors. One half of such senators have been driven out, and the remainder of the crowd will be.
