TIMES ARE HARD!
EVEN GOOD CROOKS
CAN'T MAKE LIVING!
Pair of Exports Caught Try
ing Old Game, Say Good

James Farrell of No. 7s2 Ninth avenue
and Frank DAILY of No. PIG Warren
street. Jersey CITY clerks. as they
called themselves when taken before
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty
looked shamefully at their feet, when
they saw that Capt. Fauret, In charge
OF the detective bureau. recognized
them as veteran crooks OF renown and
great ability In the days OF Superin-
tendent Byrnes. For they had been
caught In Battery Park by Detectives
Mugge and Mlcelli. working the de-
spised. threadbare, old dropped en-
veloe" game. 1t was as though Corot
had been caught painting patent medi-
cine advertisements.
The pair had been observed dropping
the envelope with the false fold of
bills in II again and again on the park
sidewalks. II the game had worked,
they would have attracted "A greenhorn
immigrant to pick II UP and then would
have pounced upon him and claimed n
division of the contents, taking securi-
ty In real money from him while he
counted the imitation money, and run
ming away with It. But DOT an immi-
grant bit at the bait. One even ran
after them with the envelope. when
they had worked so coqEsely that he
had seen II dropped.
Yet Farrell is described In Byrne's
who's who In crime" as one OF the
most skillful OF "scratchers" (forgers)
and member of the crew which. In
1890 ieeced b. T. Babbitt. the soap man.

spent sixteen years of his life in prison.
Once IN Gonzales, Tex. he escaped from
his cell and fought of prison guards
and militia for thlrty-six hours, I'M
I'll his ammunition was exhausted.
To DAILY the Byrnes book gave credit
as a master OF swlndlers and one OF
the smootheat confidence men in the
world. He has been observed OF late
much In the company OF wiretapper
swindlers. He has been arrested eleven
times since 1889 and has served seven
prison terms.

Gal- weston Island is now transformed in- to a peninsula by the building of a two-mile concrete causeway to the raised even with the top of the sea wall All of this has been accom- plish- ed by municipality that twelve years ago was "destroyed'' and bankrupt.
 The adoption of a commission form of government was Galveston's first step. Then came the sea wall, financ- stretches along the entire side of the city facing the south on the Mexican Gulf, solid and staunch rampant Of steel reinforced concrete, bidding de- fance to the sea The entire mass of the wall rests on piling driven for ty feet in clay and faced with huge wall completed. the people of Calves ton were not satisfied. They decided that the entire city must be raised. A canal was cut through the city, all houses were raised on billings, streest cars were run on trestles and eIeveated plank walks were built along the streets while the work of bringing g sand from the ocean to build up the Island was in progress. A wide brick paved automobile speedway was built, bordered by promenades that overlook the gulf Next the cauSeway connect ing island and mainland was complet- ed at cost of 2.500,OOO. Private en- terprise has also been busy and has made Galveston a Summer resort city for the people of the entire Southwest The women, with an eye to beauty: were instrumental in having planted thousands of tropical palms along the streets. while bouIevardss and parks are resplendent with the floWerlng shrubs which gave Galveston the name of Oleander City. The history of Chicago and San Francisco and of other cities laid low by fire or storm has been repeated in the Texas coast city.
