DETECTIVE BARNETT's STORY.

"The tapping Of old Simpsons
place." said Detective Barnett, was a
new wrinkle for the New York police.
It was so easy, the only wonder is it
never had been worked before. Simp-
son used to be one Of the chief dia-
mond dealers in the city. He dis
played his wares recklessly in neigh
more thieves than honest men. But
Simpson had the confidence that
comes with familiarity. He never
dreamed that he would be attacked by
men whom he had befriended in many
ways.
Il was put on the case the night Of
the robbery, and made careful in
vestigation into all the circumstances
with very little result. There was not
clerk who had got good look at
the thieves About the only thing Of
value in their description was that
one of them had an india ink l. on his
right hand. This was very little to
work on but started to do the best
could. made up my mind, without
any evidence to support it. that the
work had been by one of the Fourth
ward crooks. That gang was about as
tough q one as fellow would care
about going against.
Il dropped down into the Fourth
ward and took a lodging in Water
street den in the role Of an ex-convict
just out Of Jail after doing long
J stretch. kept much to myself for a
while and did not try to push my way
ahead. l knew enough of the gangs
methods to be sure that asking Ques-
tons would make them suspicious. I
went in and out the Water and Cherry
street dives, met thieves Of all kinds,
but waited for them to make advances
to me. l had the convict's shuttle to
perfection, and never took step with
out the movement of the lockstep. It
took me more than week to get with
in speaking distance Of several old
time crooks. was very reticent and
talked in the subdued voice that
thieves acquire in jail. I put aside a
lob or two that was offered to me in
the crooks line, as most thieves will
do after a long stretch. Still let it
be known that If anything good was
going on l would not hesitate about
taking hand.
Just to keep suspicion from being
aroused, I went into a couple Of jobs
on Long Island. I marked the men
who were in it, just for future refer
ence. showed them that I was
pretty good thief. and got the conf.

W to a comparison between
OK n crime conditions now and

ssc4'>0 But statistics, you say, will
prove that crime Is on the increase.
l question whether the number of
crimes In proportion to population
has Increased or whether the figures
merely prove that more crimes are
reported, and greater publicity given
them by means of our perfected news
gathering systems. Certainly the New
York city of today shows a vast i'm
provement in morality over the city Of
Il generation ago.
Recently two bank messengers were
robbed of $4,000 in broad day in a
taxicab in downtown New York. The
thieves were soon apprehended and
the greater part Of the loot recovered.
The perpetrators were mere boys. It
was the first essay in crime for sew
eral Of them. Their methods, although
daring, were crude. Yet the city rang
with the cry Of crime wave"
Compare conditions with those ex-
listing in the days of the old Catherine
Market gang. Then bold robberies on
public thoroughfares were a daily oc-
currence in New York. Policemen
in the old Second ward, famous In so
many stories Of crime and crooked
politics, went In squads. They were
so busy protecting themselves that
they had no time for the protection Of
property and the public. 1t was likely
to cost man his life to walk through
Water and Front streets with a brass
watch chain dangling In his vest.
jeff O'Neill and Tim Little were
two of the most desperate members of
the gang, every member of which was
a desperado. After the passing of
Denny Brady, who carried to his grave
four bullets and more than hundred
knife scars, mementoes of his rough
and-tumble fights, both with other
crooks and the police, O'Neill and
Little became the king pins Of des.
perate crime in New York Their
pull" with the police seemed to be
perfect, and many a time saved them
from capture. But they were finally
landed, as every crook is in time, and
it CHANGED, through the slender clue
of a tattoo mark. But from this point
I shall let Jeff O'Neill tell his own
story as he related it to me at the
end Of his ten-year stretch cup the
river"

It is high time that some move
should be made toward making
something out of the city's dock
investment. II still lies in prac-
tically a dormant state with no
effort being put forth to utilize
il in any way or realize on the
investment. With the opening
of the Panama canal coming on
apace, il is high time that the
dock problem be given serious
and immediate attention. With
out a sidetrack to connect with
the dock il is to all intents and
purposes useless TO any firm or
corporation that might have need
of such structure. And it
seems that the only way to have
a sidetrack constructed is TO
issue bonds in payment thereof.
Why not have the city engineer
survey a practical and feasible
route and prepare plans for con-
struction of adequate sidetracks,
il he has not already done so?
Why should we be content to
drift along in this matter, pay
the interest on the structure and
bemoan the investment? As a
matter of fact, the Investment
is good enough, but the city did
not reach far enough. Il stop
ped short. II built a structure
of admirable proportions, but
failed 10 provide means of egress
suitable for the purpose for
which il was constructed. But il
is not too late TO remedy the
defect, even though much valu-
able time has been lost. All
that is required is a little initia-
tive. A committee should be APP
pointed from the city council. and
also from the Commercial Club
to investigate the situation
minutely and ascertain the most
feasible plan for getting the dock
in operation and occupancy.
This should be done with the
least possible delay. Time is
money in this instance.

It would not be bad idea for
the city of st. Johns to issue
bonds for the purchase of water
frontage for factory sites, and
lease same to manufacturing

Postponed Game VIII Be Played on
in chicago Today.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Enroute from st.
Louis to Pittsburg the New York
Giants stopped off in Chicago today to
play a postponed game with the Cubs.
Fair weather was predicted and large
crowd was expected.
Ground rules were necessary at each
of the three games between the two
teams last week and t was thought
they would prevail today. Thus hit
into the crowd count for only two bases.

New York club was slated to pitch for
Chicago. Tesreau, who won for the
Giants in the second game of their last
series here was to pitch for New York
Before the game the Cubs were five
and one half games behind the Giants.
At the beginning of their last series
with McGraw's men they were six
games behind.
