lieved that at that time he had received sew
eral letters from police official who was un-
der suspicion. If he had received these let
tiers, the points against him and the neces-
sary linking of the other grafters with him
would be successfully arrived at.
But how to get at these letters without his
knowledge was pretty problem. If he had
kept the letters, he unquestionably had
them hidden where even an adept house
breaker or thief would have difficulty in dis
covering them.
Enlisting in his aid we'll known reform
lawyer in behalf of whose municipal house
cleaning movement the detective was Sc
cretly working, the latter got the lawyer to
60 to the politician and explain to him that
he 1.-THE lawyer) had been approached by a
young woman client to prosecute him. u
think the woman is crazy the lawyer eX-
planned; "but she claims to have been en-
ployed by you two years ago, and that at
that time your personal conduct toward her
was of such a serious nature that she has
strong grounds Of action against YOU
Naturally the politician denied all knowl-
edge of such woman He knew that his
personal conduct had always been above re-
proach, and was only too willing to have the
lawyer or anyone else examine into it.
"Even if she is an imposter or a black
mailer or insane" continued the lawyer
"you certainly don't want any scandal, how
ever baseless; SO we had better put the lid
down on the girls case at once. She says
she wrote you several letters at the time, and
insists you still have them"
Before the lawyer could go further the poll
tician said that he could refute the statement
at once. "Illprove that she is lying!' he cried
"I'll show you have no such letters, and to
prove it positively | won't touch my file OF
correspondence until you see it yourself
Pressing a button, the politician ordered
his secretary to bring in his correspondence
files of two years back. The secretary did
so, and the politician, with the lawyer
seated casually beside him, proceeded to &C
through his files, starting with the second
day of January two years before. Slowly he
turned up each letter, the lawyer biding
his time until March was reached. Then
the latter had no trouble in glancing over the
several discriminating letters. Patiently he sat
there until the correspondence of the follow
ing inconsequential months was gone over.
The politician. his mind directed entirely
on one thing, failed to think of the far more
important evidence he was thus uncon-
sciously giving against himself and his asso-
ciates. And when the detective subse-
quently gathered together the links in the
graft ring that had been provided by the
letters of two years before, the politician
was at an utter loss to understand how the
mere thread that connected him with the al
ways circumspect police official and the rest
of the gang had ever been discovered. They
relieved his ignorance, however, in court.

REGRET AT COLUMBIA
OYER KINGS DEATH
PrOfs. Perry and Wheeler. Who
Knew Him, Express
Sorrow.

King George OF Greece had MANY
warm friends in this country among the
professors and students who have been
at the American School OF Classical
Studies at Athens. Although not par
ticularly interested in archaeology him
self the King WAS quick to see the ad-
vantage OF anything that brought for
eigners to his adopted country.
He was very cordial to the professors
connected with the foreign schools and
was often seen at the public meetings
of the archaeological school
DIR. Edward Delavan Perry, Jaw pro-
fcssor of Greek at Columbia, and DR..
James Rignall Wheeler, professor of
Greek archaeology at the same univer-
sity, both of whom knew the monarch,
expressed deep regret yesterday when
they learned of his death.
Prof. Wheeler, who was for some
time the chairman Of the managing
committee of the American school at
Athens, saw King George frequently
last spring. The professor said that
King Georges popularity with the
Greeks was growing at that time and
that there was no doubt that the
monarchs death would be sincerely
mourncd by his people
KING Georges wisdom and political
sagacity,' Prof. Wheeler continued
Were being recognized. The Greeks
were beginning to appreciate especially
his policy of agricultural expansion"
Prof Wheeler and Prof. Perry remem-
hered the King as IA tall, well built man
with sandy mustache tingcd with gray
ana scant sandy hair, Until year or
two ago, they said the King was fire.
qucntly seen walking about the streets
in Athens, He had kind word for
every one and was democratic in his
ways.
"A thorough farmer" was the phra So
by which Prof Wheeler expressed King
GeorGes devotion to his favorite hobby
The King had been big land owner as
a Dane and his greatest interest after
being elected to the throne of Greece
was In the agricultural development of
the country.

the Military League.
His reinstatement in the army as
Inspector General was due to Prime
Minister Venizelos. From this post Il
was easy to transfer him to his old
place of commander-in chief at the out
break OF tho war with Turkey
The crowning feat of Greek arm. in
the capture of Janina has been ascribed
on all hands as due to his strategy.
Concurrently with his elevation to the
throne there comes story from Athens
that at n ceremony in the Turkish
mosque of Janina. at which Constantine
and other Greek Princes and Princesses
were present, "A Mussulman priest pray
ing in Arabic invoked the divine bless
Ing on King George for granting to his
Mussulman subjects perfect equality
with the Greeks.
He also invoked a blessing on the
Crown Prince for protecting the town
and its Mussulman Inhabitants, and
blessed the Greek soldiery for their exhi-
bition OF Justice and humanity in the
conquered territory.

King George intended upon the occa-

New Stamps a Failure

The new parcel post stamps are to be called in and smaller ones used hareafter. The saving of paper and printing will be $50, 900 a year, but that is not the reason for the change. The old stamps were too much alike; it was not easy to distinguish be- tween the different values. The new stamps will bear a large nu- neral, 2, 3, 10, etc.. which will save the eyes and time of the postal clerks. This change has been approved by Postmaster General Burleson.
