The Herald and News is pleased to

The Herald and News is pleased to
note that the city authorities have put
up a sign at the crossing of Caldwell
and Main streets, sufficiently large
that any autoist may be able to read
as he runs. We are glad to see that
the proper authorities are taking steps
to have this ordinance enforced. No
doubt, however, they have not read
the book of law for sometime and in
that way have left from this sign a
very important part of the ordinance.
We have seen motorcycles and other
self-propelled vehicles besides auto
mobile pass there at rate exceeding
the speed limit of such vehicles. We
desire to call attention of the authori=
ties to the ordinance, which reads as
follows:
"Sec. 2O1. Every automobile, loco
mobile, autocar, or other self-propell-
ed vehicle, shall be brought to a full
and complete stop by the person or
persons in charge thereof in crossing
Main Cor Pratt street and Caldwell
street at the intersection of Main and
Caldwell Streets
We suppose that the motorcycle
would be called "self-propelled We
hicle."

Impressions of Japan.

Chester Lantern Sept. 23.
Since leaving South Carolina in May
| have wanted to write back to friends
at home. Sending and receiving letters
is one pleasure possible to an Amer
ican living in the Orient.
A long voyage at sea from San
Francisco to China is hardly describable.
After nearly month of travel across
the continent and the Pacific ocean,,
passengers were we'll prepared to see
land again. 1t was late in June and
the sea was calm and the sky was clear.
The ship officers announced at dinner
that night that we should see japan the
next morning, and everybody was glad.
About sunrise we were aroused by
a commotion among the Chinese sail
ors outside on the main decks, and
everybody hurried to the promenades
above There in the distance stood out
in clear blue outlines the mountains OF
Japan. The impression was one of mag
nihcence. Out to itself, high above the
others. was the highest mountain in ia
pan, Fujiyama. 1t reaches way into the
clouds and is capped with snow. 1t
is the Olympus of Japan, and is held
in religious reverence by the people.
For some hours our ship steamed UP
the bay and into wide estuary toward
Yokohama. The ship was so large it
could not go closer than about two OF
the piers, so it anchored there 1t was
to remain four days, while visiting three
Japanese ports.
With only hand grip for each ones
baggage, we landed by means of a
small launch sent out to the steamer.
Ny party was composed OF only three,
Young man from Louisiana, and an
other from New York. So we were as
little encumbered as people could wish
for travelling. As soon as a person gets
his feet planted in Yokohama, looks
around himself and sees thousands OF
those yellow. slant-eyed people staring
at him as if he we're a part of a mena-

The subcommittee of the State exc
cuItve committee began it's investiga-
tion into the alleged fraud in the pri-
mary at Spartanburg on Tuesday, and
so far as we have been able to see from
reading the reports, no fraud has been
saown, and only some Irregularities in
a few counties. The committee went
from Spartanburg to Greenville and
from Greenville to Anderson, and no
doubt intends to visit other counties
inNthe State If all the counties are
visited the work will not be complet-
ed until after the general election.

Roche! Jack Regan, Sheldon, AL Blair,
Tom Malone, AL Anderson, alias Little
Al: Kid Duffy and few others with
whom he exchanged experiences and
compared notes, or lent hand at odd
times when they appealed to his pro-
fessional pride.
The Black Prince has enjoyed the
reputation of never deserting men,
ber of his "mob" when such member
would fall into the grip of the police.
He has always sent for lawyer to
look after the defence, and has sup
plied his unfortunate associates with
every possible help in an endeavor to
beat the "rap,' which is CROOKS
term for an official complaint. In case
of conviction andesentence he has al
ways remittede necessity money at
regular intervals during the term OF
Imprisonment.
At one time the Black Prince Alfred
was reputed to be worth $4,000, and
he was regarded as such an animated
sport" that the proprietors of rival
gambling houses in the Tenderloin
sent carriages for him in order to OBJ
tain his play. This always arouses
him to the keenest pitch of vanity,
and he would cheerfully lose as much
as $1,000 in night.
The detectives bureau here old not
nretend to have any case against the
prince of darkness dude, but took him
down stairs as a sort of habitual for
mahty. He went along without a
! murmur. The same thing happened
IN him twenty nights in single
month. Before the passage Of the
vagrancy law it was the custom OF the
Central Office to order crooks to head
quarters on the slightest pretext,
whenever found in crowd. Asa rule
the defendants were discharged next
morning for lack of sufficient evidence
TO hold them. In times past this was
brought about by what was known
as the three-link system, the thlef'
the politician and the copper.
But. in recent years the Vagrancy
act provides for a maximum sentence
of 100 days in the work house in sucn
cases. Section S9S-A, of the penal
code of New York State, provides a
maximum penalty of one year IN prls-
on and $500 fine upon the CONVICTION
of any pickpocket or other criminal
found lettering in railroad stations

ings in street cars, on omnibuses, etc.,
and acting in a disorderly manner,
which means pushing or jostllns.

sion he was last "stood up" at police
headquarters.
"The first trick I ever turned" ne
said, "was in Australia in 1883. On
race track touched bookmaker for
$4,000 pounds the day he landed the
Melbourne cup. Then I went into the
business, and my money went that
way. Two years later told the book
maker about it, but he was a good
sport. and he wouldn't 'squeal.' So
you see 1 never done any time for that
big trick. I have been all over the
world since then"

escape.
The "stall" begins to cover the re-
treat by blocking the pursuit of the
passenger who has set up howl.
Here, look where you're going!'
roars the stall" Whose foot do you
think you're stepping on?"
By the time the reason of the COM
motion is explained the principal has
dropped off the car. Then the "stall'
or stalls" apologize to the passenger
and one by one they ring the bell and
alight in good order.
But the Black Prince never cared
to employ Resistance" In the first
place his long, tapering fingers and
deftness of touch have enabled him to
get away with many poke" (pocket-
picking) or crock" diamond used as
shirt stud) with the greatest ease
and unconcern. And then, of course
he has found it more prontaDle &c

On rare occasions the sociability Of
the Black Prince led him to "fill in,

HE SET THE PACE.
Career of Black Prince, the Worlds
Greatest Crook.

BY wearing the navy blue UNIFORM
of hotel porter the Black Prince
Alfred has been enabled to preserve
his incognito in New York ever since
his return from the coronation at Lon
don, until a few nights ago his fond
ness for shower attire brought him
to the attention of three Central Office
detectives, says the New York Tele-
graph.
They picked him up at 9Th avenue
and 41st street as he was swinging
along with the air of cosmopolite,
wearing a natty summer suit and car
rying slender red cane which was
really too slight for one of his inter-
national reputation to lean upon.
Gas 1 live it is the Black Royalty"
said one of the detectives. All three
of them shook hands with the much
travelled African mogul whose origin
was On 10th avenue in New York city,
and whose ability as lone-hand
"gun," or pickpocket, has made him
the subject of gossip in police circles
all over the world.
They told him that it was socially
incumbent upon him to come down to
police headquarters and make the ac-
quaintance of the younger detectives,
and they lugged him along somewhat
facetiously while the greatest contin-
entail crook of the darky race grinned
affably and offered mild protestations
that his presence in New York at this
time had no diplomatic" interest.
1t has been about five years since
this shiny-faced piece of human char
coal did his "bit" of one year on
Blackwell's Island. His picture is in
the Rogues' Gallery at police head
quarters in New York, and his cynical
smile adorns the large album of male
factors cherished by the authorities of
many other cities for purposes of
Identification.
Although it has been said that the
Black Prince was always On his good
behavior when in New York, the re-
cords of the police department and
the recollection of senior detectives
prove that the ability of his mental
forces is by no means commensurate
with the dexterity of his long, taper
ing hands in the art of picking pock-
cts. He has been in trouble with the
police many times. He is so fond of
Dragging about his greatness as
crook and telling of his experiences
abroad that careful detectives would
not think of putting him under the
third degree, for the reason that he
would talk. himself into an early de-
cline and pass away with tuberculosis
of the vocal chords before his trial
could be reached.
1t is related of Black Prince Alfred
that he once went into an all-night
quick-lunch emporium and, while
waiting to be served, discovered a
card of dope''-where some woman
of the underworld had left it beside
her plate.
The Black Prince thought this lucky
find was molasses and he devoured 1t
with the gusto of his race. In about
five minutes he was talking to himself
volubly about his determination of
going out and breaking all the crap
shooting joints in Hell's Kitchen.
He was votary of the feeble-lamp-
