authority whose judgment on such
subjects will be respected.
There had been, until the advent of
Mr.. Burns and his straightforward
and effective methods, much mystery
and buncombe in connection with po-
lice administrations and detective
service in, the country. The stock in
trade of the police and detectives was
to look wise and say nothing until
something could be learned through
their stool pigeons. There was much
of the element of the stage variety of
village constable in what they did and
their manner of doing it. That such
conditions were not wholly absent
from st. Paul is evident from Mr..
Burns reference to ''the numerous
thieves, swindlers, bunco men, yegg-
men and crooked gamblers who have
made st. Paul a rendezvous for many,
many years past"
The tactics which called for a col
ony of criminals have gone out of
date. Wrongdoers are no match for
policemen with good horse sense and
a determination to serve the people.
And a determination to serve the peo-
pie has not always been considered a
necessity in police departments: in
fact, police departments often have
been the most powerful tool of the
politicians in the past.
A police department administered
conscientiously and without friends
either in the political or underworlds
may be unusual, but 1T would be quite
certain of success.

Emmet Mark, the Horseman, Has Pur-

Emmett Mark, the horseman, while
on Il recent trip to Montana, secured
a herd of genuine buffalo, which he
has shipped to his ranch at Willow
Lake, Mimi, where he will turn them
into a large pasture and attempt to
build up a large herd of that fast dis

years ago thousands of the mighty
beasts roamed the 'prairies and hills
of the northwest, hunters and settlers
have almost eXterminated the specie
from the face of the map, and MIR.
Mark Is going to do what he can to
save some of them for future genera
tons. After he gets his herd built up
he will sell specimens to c~ircuses,
museums and zoos, where they will be
shown to the public as the great

MARKET BASKET
| FOR DYNAMITE.
Edward F. Clark on Stand
at Trial.
ACCUSES UNION OFFICERS.
In Detailing His Confession On the
Witness Stand He Told OF
Personally Blowing Up
Work.

Indianapolis, Ind.-CaTrying dyna-
mite about in market basket was the
way Edward F.. Clark, an iron worker,
testifying at the dynamite con-
spiracy" trial here, said he arranged
to blow up non-union jobs.
Clark, an official of local union in
Cincinnati, pleaded guilty at the be-
ginning of the trial of 45 men accused
OF completely with the Mcnamara
brothers in the Illegal transportation
of explosives.
In detailing his confession on the
witness stand he told of personally
blowing up work on railroad bridge
across the Miami River at Dayton on
May 3, 1908, and of leaving behind an
umbrella which bore his initials.
Clark asserted officials of the Inter
national Association of the Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers induced him
to do dynamiting. Once, he said,
while inspecting work in Cincinnati,
President Frank NJ. Ryan pointed to
railroad bridge across the Ohio River
and said, There would be a good
place to put shot"
Before that, the witness said, Her
bert S. Hockin, now secretary of the
union, arranged TO supply him with
dynamite.
We had had some correspondence
with J. j. Mcnamara at indianapolis
about union conditions in Cincinnati,
when in May, 1908, Hockin appeared
and told me he was going to spend
some money there said Clark. He
took me to Cumminsyille, suburb,
where he introduced me to Edward
Campbell, who was to supply dyna-
mite Hockin said ! was to receive
500 for the Dayton job. | returned
to the place that night with a market
basket and Campbell gave me so half
pound sticks of dynamite. Hockin
wanted me to take William Bernhard,
local official, TO Dayton, but | said l
would do the job alone.
Having kept the dynamite in my
house that night, l took it the next
night to Dayton, where l placed it on
a bridge over the Miami River. 1t
was raining hard, so l left my
umbrella over the bomb TO protect it,
lit the fuse and departed.
THE next day in Cincinnati Hockin
didn't appear anxious to pay me the
500. He had a newspaper account of
the explosion. Finally he gave me $97
on the street.
Edward Campbell. mentioned by
Clark, testified he formerly worked in
stone quarry and had been used to
buying dynamite. He said Hockin
arranged for him to drive out to a
powder magazine to buy the explosive,
and had paid him for the livery hire.
On cross-examination by attorneys
for the defense Clark admitted he had
been convicted on numerous charges,
but denied he ever had been indicted
for highway robbery or had withheld
the unions funds.

Wishes Health and Success to
His Successor.
SINGS SWAN SONGIN GOTHAM.
He Urges Six-Yesr Term-Pressure
srought To Bear Upon Him To
Seek Reelection lnterferes
With Efficiency.

New Iork-President Taft sang his
Swan song as Chief Executive of the
nation here.
AS the guest of the Lotus Club. the
President responded TO the toast, The
President" in speech which many
Of his hearers considered the most re-
markabe he has ever made.
He shifted from grave to say and
from the philosophy which he said four
years in the White House had taught
him TO a discussion of problems which
face The nation.
He laughed at the outcome OF the
election. smiled when he spoke of
some Of the plans of PresidenI-e
Wilson and touched with gentle
sarcasm William Jennings Bryan.
In his serious moments the Presi-
dent earnestly advocated the admis-
sion 10 the halls of Congress of mem
bers of a Presidents Cabinet; declSr-
ed that a siX-year term in the Presi-
dency was enough for any man; advo-
Gated strongly the placing in the civil
service Of practically every officer in
the Government service and limited
broadly that Congress should provide
for eX-Presidents so that they need
not lower the dignity OF the position
they have held when they enter into
private life.
His chief regret. the President said,
was that he had been unable to in
fuence the United States Senate to
ratify the arbitration treaties with
France and Great Britain. IN spite of
that fact he asked his audience to be-
lieve that he would leave office with
the deepest gratitude to the American
people for the honor they had given
him ana with the belief that enough
progress had been accomplished in his
administration TO warrant him a feel
ing that he had been real good for his
country.
His humorous references to the bur
dens OF the White House. TO his sue
cessor and to Mr.. Bryan brought forth
round after round OF applause.
The President closed his speech
with & toast to his successor.
Health and success to the able, dis
tinguished and patriotic gentleman

1t was then about 10 o'clock at

rifles. The Turkish infantry's assault;
was further supported by MaXims and
pompoms.
The Bulgarians, who were busily
constructing siege batteries in that
vicinity, paid relatively little attention
to the advancing, noisy Turks. Very
soon, however, batallions ran forward
az the double quick and soon stopped
the Turks attempt 10 gain the sum

also had an intention of trying to re-
cover their lost ground by the junction

indianapolis, Ind.-According to the
inspectors for the Indiana Railway
Commission, the disastrous wreck on
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Railway, at Irvington, suburb, in
which 10 persons lost their lives and
II others were seriously injured, was
the result of the company's failure to
install a block signal system after 1t
had been ordered to do so by the COM
mission. The order was issued some
months ago.
Had this order been obeyed, the
commission says. the wreck could not
have occurred. The wreck was caused

to close the switch to siding on

run 10 let the rapidly running pas
senger train, which was more than an

This Year.

Washington.-Th were 1,453 men
killed in and about coal mines of the
United States during the first eight
months of this year, according TO an
announcement of the Bureau of Mines.
The figures indicated, the report

other four months of the year, there
would be a substantial decrease in the
total number of deaths in 1912 as com
pared with those Of 1911, when 2,719
men were killed.
There has been substantial de-
crease in the fatality rates in the coal
mining industry of the United States

year go were in Pennsylvania and
2T3 in West Virginia.
