Detective w. J. Burns, who figures
so prominently in the arrest of the al
legged dynamiters, is known among the
police of the United states as Never
Fail Burns" IL was more than twen-
ty-flve years ago that Burns began his
detective career, and he attracted at
tention by his methods and success
from his first case. For that matter
though, he came naturally by his tai
ent for his father was a policeman
before him, chief of police of Columbus,
O., and Burns, Jr., was brought up in
touch with police work, one might say
The gift of detecting crime seemed to
he born in him.
His first real detective work was
done i'm 1885, in what was known as
the tally sheet forgery" when in the
Ohio state elections i'm Columbus and
Cincinnati the tally sheets were al
tered, i'm one case a candidate getting
9S5 instead Of 2S5 votes. Burns ran
the guilty persons down and got /.
confession.
Shortly afterward he was called in
to a case in st. Louis, where Jim
French was a furniture dealer. lie and
been getting hundreds of thousands of
dollars out of insurance companies.
French was a furiture dealer. He and
his confederates would fit up dwelling
houses with expensive furnture, in
sure them to their fun value, remove
the furniture and substitute junk, and
then set the houses on fire. Burns
worked two months and got enough
evidence to convict, and French was
sentenced to the penitentiary for five
years.

Burns was appointed to the secret
service in 1890 and was located in the
west. working i'm Indian Territory,
Texas, Arkansas, and the south. He
was soon placed i'm charge of that
district, and in 1894 was transferred
To Washington, where he was promoted
for good work, and got a rowing COM
mission, going wherever there was an
unusually important case. one of the
biggest feats in those days was run
ming down the principals on the Brock
way Bradford Courtney case in New
York and near by.
Bradford was celebrated counter
feiter, and in his early days he had
forged Erie railroad bonds. His spe-
ciaGty was a counterfeit note of a large
denomination, one favorite being a
$1,000 compound interest note. He got
hold OF "a girl i'm the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing at Washington and
had her run a sheet of tinfoil through
the press and get an impression of the
genuine plates. Then he had an cleo
trotype made from the tinfoil impress
sion, printed the notes, and circulated
them with such success that the gov
eminent actually accepted $4,000
worth Of them before it suspected that
anything was wrong. Later on they
had 20 send for Charles Ulrich, an old
time counterfeiter, to pick the good
from the bad.

One Of the most interesting side
lights on Burns is his aversion to the
use of a revolver. He has never shot
a man himself and in none of his ar
rests, some of them involving the sub
DUNG of men desperate and daring
beyond the ordinary, has there been a
bullet fired. According to Burns, the
detective who carries a gun is n poor
detective, and confesses the fact by
his act. II is moral suasion, the
brain drop" of the prize fighter, that
Burns relys on. He figures that once
he lets a man know that che has it on
him." and that he isn't afraid of him,
the rest is comparatively easy
Threats of assassination, which have
been frequent in his career, he simply
treats as a matter of course, always
seeing to it, however, that the threat
eners get few extra years tagged on
to their sentences when they are
caught, as a warning against the fool
ishness of too much talking

ETHICS OF JOURNALISM

The ethics Of newspaper making are
obligations of lawyers and doctors, to
other members of their trade and to
the public are.
Perhaps, for this very reason, news
papers seldom overstep the boundary
between what is justifiable and what
is not iustifiable.
A newspaper is primarily a business
institution established by it's owners
to make money. But it has large
social duty and a great responsibility
to the community. It is a purveyor
of news, but it is also a maker OF
morals. Long ago Burke referred to
the press as the fourth estate. The
audience to which he spoke knew of
three estates, the commons the lords,
and the lords spiritual.
Now there is only the commons and
the plutocracy. The fourth estate has
become the Second. Its duties have
increased.
ST am not too proud to print" said
the late c. A. Dana, whatever God
permits to happen For what hap
pened Dana was not responsible. He
was willing to tell it. This maxim
describes the utmost boundary to
which a newspaper may go in the
direction OF error.
1t may tell the story of a murder
but it must not incite murder.
1t is the duty Of newspaper to re-
cite the progress made in the art OF
aviation. and to recount the accidents
and fatalities that attend upon the
conquest of the air.
But it is not the duty of newspa-
per to call for volunteers to engage
in that hazardous pursuit Of flying
merely to make a double notoriety
or to create more newspaper circu-
lation and hence more profit
Quite thoughtlessly, we believe, a
contemporary is now advertising a
competition among young women fol-
place in an aeroplane meet to be
held in this city, in May. Since the
young woman who is to take the risk
of the affair is to be selected by bal
| lot, and since the ballots cannot be
obtained except through the purchase
of newspapers the young women who
engage in the contest are something
| in the position of the man who was
about to be lynched, and who was re-
quired to pay the expenses attendant
upon his execution.
The fate of the young woman in
this case is not so certain. There is
one chance in four Or five that the
| flight may be made without accident
But, suppose the flight is made in
safety, what has been gained? And
suppose there is an accident and the
penalty is paid with the life of the
| "most popular victim Of publishers
greed?
What splendid "ad'' that would
| be.
If the editor wants to gamble with
death, in the air, he should fly him

THE PROPOSED INQUIRY
INTO FIRE INSURANCE

The fire losses paid in this state IN
1910 amounted to $2,226,213. Inc
s,,n, is formidable, but it is not all.
In order to receive this sum the peo-
ple of the state were obliged to pay
s44ss.s5s in premiums to the fire in
surance trust; more than two dollars
paid out for every dollar given back.
This highly interesting process has
been going on for 20 years, during
which time Connecticut cities have
enormously increased their facilities
for FIRE fighting and fire prevention,
while the insurance trust has increas-
ed its profits with corresponding ac-
tivity.
The proposed investigation of the
fire insurance business of Connecticut
now before the Legislature should be
pressed to a conclusion. If it is kill
ed by the lobby at this session of the
General Assembly the day of inquiry
will be postponed, but will not be pre-
vented.
1t will be well for the insurance
companies If they note the signs of
the times and bow to the coming
storm. Already large business insti-
tutions. such as the New Haven Rail-
road Company, carry their own insur-
ance. Cities may do so.
The demand for municipal fire in
.urance is beginning to be heard. 1t
ought to be apparent that the people
of Connecticut will not continue to be
mulcted more than 81 in order to OBJ
tain a dollar of fire loss.
Bridgeport is especially sufferer.
Its fire department is the most eff
cient in the state. Its fire losses
have been small during many years.
Its people have paid out in premiums
three OF four times what they have
received back for losses.
The charge for fire protection, plus
the charge for fire department and
prevention will amount to more than
half of all municipal charges for all
other governmental purposes.
That is TO say, there is a charge
of 100000 annually to fire waste OF
this about 100000 is paid in insur-
ance premiums and about 100000
10 maintain a fire department.
The more Bridgeport pays for fire
department the more it also pays to
the insurance trust.
Investigation means reduced rates.

HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
ON SPRING ROADS.
Says Macadam Roads Are in Need of
Much Repairing.

Highway Commissioner James H.
Macdonald is forwarding to the Sc
lectmen of the towns or the proper
authorities Of the cities of the state
the assertion that the winter season
has been a hard one on the roads
about the state. The "Spring let
ter" follows:
In accordance with my usual prac-
tice, I am writing my annual spring
highways of the state. We have had
one of the NEST peculiar winter sea-
sons it has been my lot to experience
owing to the fact that we have had
such an abnormally large quantity of
rain and mild weather, with intermit-
tent seasons of very heavy frost or
snow, requiring users of automobiles
almost constantly to use chains on
their wheels. This condition of af-
fairs has left our roads an easy prey
to travel, in the way Of accentuating
ruts and toe marks and disturbing
the roads.
The result is that we come into the
spring season with our macadam roads
showing considerable necessity for re-
pairs. AS you know, a little later
on, the roads will dry out and they
will not appear as bad as at the pres
an advance agent pending the visit
of the repair men in your county
Last week I had the repair men in
my office and went over the whole
structions were also given relative to
structions were alaso given relative to
what Is necessary to be done.
The general plan is to remove all
coarse stone from macadam roads and
where ruts have appeared in the OIL
ed roads as soon as the weather set
ties and the roads have dried out
to put the scraper on the road, just
the width of the travel path and not
on the shoulders and replace the ma
terial that has shucked off on the
sides of the road, so as to complete
ly cover the road bed proper. The rea-
son for doing this is that we are I'M
able at this time, owing to the fact
that the quarries have not begun OPP
erations actively as yet, to get out
stone in the quantities and dimen-
sions that we require for our repairs
Pending the active operation of the
Quarries we will have to protect our
roads the best we can. Where ruts
or toe marks have become apparent
inch stone will be supplied so as to
fill these ruts and toe marks prior to
scraping back the material in. which
oil was incorporated last season. This
will assist in protecting the road bed
and extend the life of the road until
such times as we can get access to
the material we desire. In respect
to the gravel roads, new material
should be applied in all toe marks
and ruts and when the road is in con-
dition and the weather is right the
shoulders should be pared down. In
so far as the shoulder work is con-
cerned, also cleaning out cutters. the
weather is hardly settled sufficiently
to enter upon. this line of repair, ex-
cept perhaps in the towns lying close
to the seashore where the frost dis
appears very quickly.
