1t was late summer, and they were
in the garden of the brick house at
Burnside.
Harlan had been at his chiefs side
day after day, shielding him as much
as possible from those who came to
solicit, to threaten, to complain. In
the opportunity given him to meet ev

personality removed him from the
ranks of the radicals and relieved him
from the imputation that attached to

was frank to express his disuppoint-

others. He made it plain that he was
not unalterably welded to law be-
cause he had been instrumental in
adding it to the code. He made known
to all his Willingness to compromise on
everything except honesty, and day by
day he made men understand better
the basis of the system advocated by
his chief and himself.
They had FURNISHED the mirror of
politics. They held it's new and bright

might gaze on themselves. And in

service had been done. And as they
realized it the name of young Thorn

mouth to mouth, men speaking of him
as one who was entitled to the praise
that attaches to honesty unsmirched
by bigotry.

old man the loyalty of the youth of

COUNTY EMPLOYEES
WILL HAVE TROUBLE
GETTING PAY IN 1913

Fulton countys commissioners de-
clared today they could not figure out
how they will be able to pay the en-
ployees of the county for the first sew
eral months of next year after the fee
system has been changed to the salary
system.
The act of the legislature changing
the system provides that the salaries of
the employees shall come out of county
fees and from no other fund. There
won't be any fee fund for several
months after the change of the sys-
tenn. for the fees collected during the
first several months will be due officials
for services rendered this year.
The salaries of the heads of the
county departments are fixed at $4,000
each by the act of the legislature. The
commission will take up the matter of
fixing the salaries of the assistants
within the next few weeks.
Commissioner C. L. Anderson re-
marked at meeting of a commission
yesterday afternoon that the county
would do we'll if it came out even on
the change from the fee to the salary
system. All agreed that the first few
months of next year would be lean

POLICE
BY CLEVER RUSE
Alleged Thief, Caught After Hot
Chase, Gets by Turnkey With
Cool "ExpIanation."

After spending the night in the po-
lice station, an alleged burglar giving
his name as Ed Williams, of Cincin-
citing chase on the Whitehall street
viaduct today adopted clever ruse
and escaped from the station.
The opportunity for freedom came to
Williams just after he had been ques-
toned in the office of Chief of Detec-
tives Lanford on the third floor. He
was taken downstairs to the prison by
Detective Gillespie and turned over to
the turnkey, who ushered him into the
main corridor. At the time, a number
of other prisoners were in the corridor
and were being locked in cells by the
turnkey.
The burglar circulated among these
prisoners and then, approaching the
turnkey in an unconcerned way, re-
marked:
I'm ready to go out now. I'm the
fellow you let in a while ago to talk to
the man who did that cutting last
night"
The turnkey was busy, and, in the
rush. didn't recognize this man is the
prisoner just brought in. Unlocking
the main prison door and opening it,
he stepped aside and Williams walked
out.
Nothing more was thought of the in
cident until some time later, when a
merchant called at the station to see if
he could identify Williams as the thief
who robbed his place. Williams couldn't
be found, and an investigation showed
he was gone. He is still absent.
Williams was captured last night by
H. F. Scott, Jr.. and Hunter Muse, just
after he had emerged from the estab-
lishment of the Tailor Made Corset
Company on the viaduct. The offices
of the Central Bank Block association,
6 1-2 Whitehall street next door had
also been entered. Mr.. Scott, who 10 a
son of H F. Scott, ST., secretary of the
association, discovered the burglary
when he entered the association Of
| fees, and then saw the burglar as he
fed from the corset cOmpany's place
! He and Mr. Muse gave chase and cap
tured Williams at the foot of the via
duct steps in Wall street, turning him
over to Policeman Blazer at Five
| Points.
