DYNAN[1NC OF los ANGELES TINES |
MAY HAVE BEEN SOLVED By ARRESTS
W. J. Burns, Detective,
Has Worked on Many
Other Celebrated

"Y1LL1AM J. BURNS. the de-
WV tective who made the ar.
rests In connection with the
Los Angeles dynamiting,
had previously acquired fame by such
important convictions as that Of Abe
Ruef, the San Francisco boss, and the
Oregon land grabbers.
Mr.. Burns father was for a time
commissioner Of police of Cleveland,
O., and when he was himself only
twenty he entered the United States
secret service, in which he remained
for twenty-five years. till he acquired
the reputation with Chief Wilkie Of
being the best man he had. His first
job for the government was the run
ming down of Bill Brockway, who had
counterfeiting plant in New York.
1t took him several months Of steady
work, but he got his man at last and
SEM him away for a long term.
Counterfeiters Run Down.
For years Mr.. Burns was employed
mainly on counterfeiting cases, the
most famous Of which resulted in the
arrest of Taylor and Bredell and their
eleven confederates for uttering a
number of forged hundred dollar Mon
roe head silver certificates. In this
case the principal guide the detective
had to the identity Of his men vas
that only highly skilled engravers
could possibly have carried through
the Job. Such men are rare in this
country, and he gradually narrowed
down clews by a process of elimina-
ton.
To obtain evidence to convict, how
ever, was a matter Of long watching
and much ingenuity. He had to OBJ
tain entrance to the Office of the sus-
poets while they were at luncheon
and conduct his Investigations in a
way to evade suspicion. When at
length he made his arrests his evil
dence was still not complete, and it
was essential that he should bluff his
first prisoner into admissions that
would incriminate the other. This he
managed to accomplish and by this
combination Of patient work and

in the international tennis preliminary
series. Three sets only were played, as
the Englishmen won in straight sets,

This leaves the point score of the
series to l in favor Of the Americans.
Though ii was generally conceded
that the English team was formidable
in doubles. it was great surprise that
the invaders should have won as easily
IS they did. Not that the match was
entirely at their disposal at any time.
Little and Bundy were playing hard all
the time, but their combination work
did not approach that of the Britons.
What occasioned the most surprise of
all was that Dixon and Beamish. who
were reputed to be entirely inexpert
at the volleying and net game, display :
ed superior and unexpected ability
there. They were more accurate in
their driving and placing, but above
all excellent in getting the bali back .
What little betting was done was at

each other, and everything else that
happened to cross them all afternoon.

among fight fans. The Oklahoma rail-

go through his PAGES. Morris was seen
in action today, and everybody present
agreed that he is just about all that has

more. He went three rounds each with
Morris Harris and AL Benedict and
both men were all in before the last
