EXAMPLES OF RICH
MAKING CRIMINALS

The tremendous growth of wealth with
its consequent increase in the number OF
idle rich" is producing a class of crln-
inals in this country almost faster than
the police can cope with it, according to
Representative william Borland of Mis-
sissippi in addressing the convention Of
the international Association of Police
Chiefs at its convention in the Raleigh
hotel.
Mr.. Borland declared that idle rich"
set pernieious example in their search
for amusement, and aroused desire of
emulation in the minds of persons OF
small means. The result of such an ex-
ample, he said, was to tempt poorer folk
into indiscretions and crime to obtain
money with which to crafty newly ac-
quired tastes. The cabaret show he de-
clared to be one of the main causes of the
spread of the social evil.
Representative Borland told of three
classes of criminals with which the po-
lice have to deal-the habitual criminal.
occasional criminal ana the 8 fective
criminal. He declared many dminals
are manufactured. and that # :. cam
paign of education could be had in every
city of this country 1t would do great
| deal to wipe out crime. He said the
chiefs of police and legislators must study
the problem of the manufacturing OF
criminals.
| The class which can be more easily
reached, he said, Is the fellow who has
not vet become a criminal He said the
helpless country girl who goes to a big
city, the boy just out of school and those
who hang around pooIrooms should be
guided in the right direction by the po-
lice. He congratulated the members os
the association upon their gathering AMI

hanging pictures and they. found that they
had run short of nails. "Pll go out and
get some." one said. She went just as she
was, without hat or coat, to a little shop
around the corner while her companion
set about preparing the evening meal. The
girl never returned. Inquiries showed
that she did not visit the shop, and she
has not been heard of since. Vain also
were the efforts to trace a girl who came
up from the north of England two years
ago to take up a situation in a northern
suburb. 1t is known that she reached
Kings Cross safely, but after that her
movements are hidden behind the veil
that hides so many of Londons mysteries.
She has not appeared since. and it is 1000
to l that she never will. There was the
young solicitor who left his chambers
in the West End one bright morning last
year and was never seen again. Every
thing humanity possible was done to trace
him, but all in vain.

THE TOWN CHILDREN
HAVE LOST FRIEND
Kansas Bachelor Provides in His Will
for Poor Boys and Girls in
Emporia

Kansas City. July 5.-(Special J.
Emporia. Kan, lost friend last month
His name was Iemuel T. Heritage, al
though for more than half century
the town has known him simply as
Captain Heritage.
Men of Emporia rejoiced in his
friendship; women too We're his friends.
but most of all he was friend of lit
tie children. A bachelor all his. life,
he loved children, understood them,
sympathized with their small griefs and
joys, and dying left the bulk of his
modest estate in trust Ito brighten and
beautify the child life of the city of
Emporia."
The bequest came as something of a
surprise to many of the captains
townsmen, for. he was not a man, his
friends will tell you, to make much
show or ostentation about his giving
or his fondness, and yet to those who
knew him his unusual and beautiful
will was no great surprise after all 1t
was in keeping with the tenor of his
life, gentle, thoughtful, kindly.
This will, after some smaller gifts,
provides that the remainder of the
estate of Captain Heritage, amounting
10 some 9oO,uUO, Sndll De turned over to
four executors, all friends of long
standing. Very much is left to the
judgment of these four men as to how
the fund shall be applied, but the will,
penned in neat printed characters by
Captain Heritage himself. suggests that
part at least of the interest from this
little trust fund shall be used ito assist
intelligent children whose parents or
guardians by reason of poverty or mis-
fortune may be unable to do so, in pro-
curing neat and comfortable clothing so
that they may be enabled to attend
school, church and Sunday school, and
associate with their playmates without
being compelled to wear the badge of
poverty"
And 1t is furthermore provided in the
VIII that the names of those children
who may benefit by this provision shall
never be made public. 1t was no part
of the captains 8 plan that any child who
received shoes or clean, warm clothing
from his fund should ever be pointed at
as a pauper or an object of charity
Books are to be kept 1t is true, with
the names of the children, and the
amounts expended for them and these
books are to be open to the inspection
of the mayor and of the Judge of the
juvenile court of Lyon county, but the
general public is not to know

Captain Heritage believed, ito relieve

TO DISAPPEAR IN
LONDON IS EASY
Twenty Thousand Are Lost
Every Twelve Months
SOME FOUND AGAIN
London Police Would Be Proud If
They Could Locate One-Half of
the People Who Vanish in
English Capital
SOME FOUND AGAIN

London, July Especial. )-"Funny, :"
says Hodge, all them smart police in
London and can't trace a well known
man who's been missing nearly a fort
night. An a millionaire, too It's wot
I've always said-London's shamefuIly
overrated. They think theyr smart but
when they're put to the test they're no
bettern we are in the country"
Poor old Hodgel 1t will be news to him
and to many others that on the day that
Joseph Wilbeforce Martin disappeared in
London somewhere about 90 other per-
sons vanished also. A similar number
were lost the day before, and similar
number the day after. But nothing ap-
peared in the papers about them. London
is great in everything, even in the number
of its lost. The capital does not shout
and boast about it's mysteries, else we
should be more awed than ever at Its
immensity 1t is only when something
dramatic happens, such as the vanishing
of a wealthy man, that we are reminded
OF the grim fact that somewhere about
1900 people disappear every II months

Hiding in London
Many of the missing persons turn up,
but large number are lost to their
friends and relatives for all time. Lon
don is the best place on earth If you
want to hide. 1t is the most mysterious
and most wonderful maze ever inhabited
by man. To look in London for friend
with whom you have not made an ap-
pointment is like looking for needle in
a haystack, or a diamond in a desert, or
a pearl in the Pacific ocean. One can
live in London a lifetime and travel about
1t and not know one-thousandth part
of 1t. Within the last 20 years quite 20
murders have beer - cmmitted in London
which have gone by unexpated. You
may be quite sure that the murderers, IL
alive, are in London. They are probably
living very near TO police stations. for it
is a popular and a well founded belief
among criminals that If you want to keep
your wrists free of the handouts you
must pitch your tent close to the pegs
on which the bracelets hang.
The London detectives would be proud
indeed If they could find only half the
people who vanish in the capital every
year. But they cannot. Some time ago

The city of Emporia, sheltered by
many trees. is still small enough to be
very friendly. There men and women
still find time to rejoice or to grieve
over the joys or sorrows of their neigh

the gates and talk with him. Much
you may hear of Captain Heritage and
of his friendliness that made the whole
town his friend.

REBELS DYNAMITE
 AND ROB TRAIN
Forty Federal Soldiers and Ten Passengers Were Killed and :
 Many Wounded.

Laredo, Texas. Sept. 23.--Rebel soldiers dynanited a passenger train at a point sixty miles south of Saltilln last night, resulting in the death of forty federal sol diers and ten passengers. Many of the passengers who were not killed suffered severe injuries.
 The rebels footed the wrecked train and robbed the passengers, stripping the dead of every or nampnt which was of value. The train carried a number of Amer jeans who were leturning home and was guarded by the federal troops. The rebels are believed to have received information that the returning Americans were carrying considerable wealth, as their search was rigid, including even, the women and children who were killed. Atrocious acts were committed on the wounded federal soldiers, who were un- able to escape from the wreck.

VALDEZ PROPERTY
 HAS GREAT FUTURE
.tt ': .@f Trade Journal Devotes Space to Conservative Report on I.o-
 cal Property.

The Alaska and Northwest Mining Journal. in it's Septem- ber number, prints three fine pie lures of the Rutherford-Ram mine. After giving a brief his tory of the property, it says:
 The showing consists CT two veins. the smaIIe% one being two feet wide at bottom of shaft and twrmty-one inches wide the en- ire length of the drift. This runs into the other vein and at Inc point of intersection there is a width of eleven feet of ore av- craGing Sl5.3W CT ton. The larger vein averages five feet in width. with values, as far as as certained. averaging Sli.OO. Most of the work has been done on the smaller vein and cOmpriS- es a shaft 35 feet deep with drifts A and B aggregating i3O feet on the ore, where it aver ages 2I inches as above stated. Part of the ore was stopped out from above drift B and there is now about 100 tons of ore on the dump, A shipment of i6 tons of this same ore was made to the Tacoma shelter and gave net returns of $13.57 per ton, gross values of $S5.0o. Drifts A and B are termed the 5O-foul level. Drift C is 50 feet. deeper and just shows the vein to be of the same width and values as above. but the drift is only start ed and therefore of little value as demonstrating the extent of the ore body until it has been pushed further ahead. Samples taken at drift C gave $io5 and $500.
 Conservative engineers have estimated sufficient ore in sight to pay profit of over $75,000 after paying for plant, mining, etc., and should the next levels show up ore in extent and grade to that already proven, this prop erty will soon rank as one of the big producers of this section. A few hundred feet of drifting should more. than treble the amount of ore in sight.
