SAVING RUBES FROM
BUNCO MEN HIS lob
Sleuth Has Record of
Rescuing One Roll
a Day

There's a detective up at the East
Fifty first street station who saves on
the average one out-of-town easy marx
from the professional coin Watchers and
sure-thing men every day. He is john
Barron, about so, pleasant to look at
and pleasant to talk TO. They say that
Barron knows every coin flipper in the
Tenderloin. Here arc a few things to
remember, and all OF them were fer
reted out by Barron:
A gang of about so crooks. coin
matchers. lemon pool experts. card
players and everything else but NOR
alists, have a corner on the .skinning
of rubes games in the district that lies
in the 40 streets around the Grand
Central Terminal and Times Square,
The headquarters are in a billiard room
above q cigar store in Broadway.
This gang has an organization that
would make the United States Steel
corporation sit up and take notice. II
one of their number falls into the
clutches of Barron he gets a messen-
ger boy and sends an S. o. 5, signal
to headquarters. Pretty soon around
comes a suave individual with roll
of $1,000 bills. who furnishes bail, SAYS
the New York sun.
The delay of law. the anxiety of men
who have been fleeced to get out OF
town and home again, and one thing
and another of that sort make 1t near
ly impossible to have any of this gans
convicted But Barron has ideas. He
has a punch and kick too.
He doesn't try to arrest these men
He simply hangs around and when one
of them appears with an easy mark he
walks up and says
Partner do you know that's crook
you're talking to-"
The easy mark, and very often he
isn't such an easy mark either, for
these professionals are good at theil
business, is naturally surprised. Tht
chances are that he has found his COM
panion a pleasant sort and good talk
ers Generally he turns on Barron will
flash of resentment and asks;
who the blank are you?"

GIRLS! HAVE BEAUTIFUL, LUSTROUS,
FLUFFY HAIR rs CENT DANDER|NE

Incompatible gloss and lustre and try
as you will you cannot find a trace of
dandruff or falling hair; but your real
surprise will be after about two weeks
use, when you will see new hair-fne
and downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
Danderine is, we believe. the only sure
hair grower; destroyer of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp and 1t never fails
to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, noisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft. glossy and beautiful In just a
few moments-a delightful surprise

Perreau Brothers Blamed
Sister-in-Law for For

On Tuesday morning, March Z, IT'S, Mr..
Robert Perreau walked into the banking
house of Drummond Brothers, at Char
ing Cross. He was greeted cordially by
the bankers, for Mr.. Perreau, although
merely an apothecary, was Napoleon
among apothecaries, and was a welcome
guest at the houses of the great. Within
a week the bankers had seen him at Lord
Egmonts and Lady Lyttlton's. On the
occasion Mr.. Perreau was full of business.
Producing as security a bond for s37, 900,
signed by William Adair, whose sigma
ture would be honored at any banking
house, he asked for the loan of $4,000.
The banking brothers scrutinized the
document closely, says the Kansas City
Star, and Henry Drummond said: ut

clasped hands on the scaffold, and their
hands remained clasped until they were

Their punishment, which was out of all
proportion to their crime, gave the first
impetus to the sentiment against capital
punishment for such offenses as forgery,

HIS SERMON ON "THE DEVIL"
AT BAPTIST CHURCH..

Another large audience heard Rev.
j. Frank Norris at the Broadway Bap-
tist church last night deliver a SER

men. 1t was a strong Biblical dis
course and at the conclusion an In
vitation was extended to all the
Christian people in the house who
would break with the devil and his
various forms of wordiness to come
forward. A majority of those pres
ent accepted the invitation. At one
point in his sermon Rev. Norris ask
ed how many members of the Broad

about dozen were able to respond.
The subject announced for tonight

R|NG[|NC ROAD
TAKING SHAPE
CORPS OF FRISCO ENGINEERS
ARRIVE FROM SPRINGFIELD.
MISSOURI N

With everything pointing 10 the
Oklahoma, New Mexico & Pacific
better known as the "Ringling" rail-
way-being a Frisco movement the
arrival in this city yesterday of
full corps of Frisco engineers from
Springfield, Mo-, may spell something
in the immediate Development of ac-
tivity on the construction of that
line. From Frisco Junction into
Ardmore the Frisco has, for the past
several years operated over the Rock
Island tracks, although at one time
the trains OF that company came into
this city over the Frisco's own rails.
The grade all the way from Ardmcre
to Frisco Junction is yet wide enough
for double tracking, and the fact that
these engineers were accompanied
from this city to the junction this
morning by Jake Hamon, president of
the Oklahoma, New Mexico G. Gulf,
lends additional color to the rumore
which was started yesterday evening
that work would be begun as soon
as the general contract could be let,
when Mr.. Hamon demanded Of the
bonus committee the immediate sur
render of the terminals right Of
way in Ardmore.
ic
may give out the information that
the work which they are now doing Is
only such work as will be necessary
on the part of the Frisco management
in the matter of carrying out the
orders of the state corporation COM
mission to Immediately put their
roadway on the Ardmore and Arkan-
sas division in tetter shape. But he
that as it may, the fac that the ar
rival in Ardmore of the moving spir-
it of the Ringing road-Mr. Hamon
was simultaneous with the arrival
of the engineers, seemingly adds
weight to the theory that the season
of continued delays in the matter of
real work on this road is at an end
Members of the bonus committee
stated that all things in the matter
of right of way in and through Ard
more have been settled and that,
figurativcly speaking the keys are
ready to turn over to the railroad
officials. All members of this COM
mittee who have been approached by
newspaper representatives seem to
be very confident that the season Of
promises will now give way to the
season of active work and seem to-
think that at last all preliminaries
are to be Immediately settled without
delay
1t was earned by an Ardmoreite
representative this morning that
Chief Engineer Reeder of the Ring
ing road has practically. completed
the work of preparing the profile of
;he roads survey from this city to
Waurika. In event of this being true
there should be no further delay in
the matter of letting the contract for
the construction work AS soon as the |
general contract is ct the work will
probably be apportioned among a
number of sub contractors who will
at once transport their outfits to
different points along the line so that
construction work will begin simulta-
neously on every mile of road be-
tween Ardmore and Waurika.

Farming Generally Well Advanced.


Reports from all sections of the
county state that farming is far more
generally advanced than it was at
this same period last year. This is
caused by the conditions being much
more favorable than they were during
the spring of 1912, when it rained
almost continuously.
The acreage, all over the county,
of oats, is greatly increased over last
years sowing. All the oats are now
up and seem TO be growing nicely
More corn has been planted and the
past summer-like weather has prom
ised this crop a good stand. Cotton
planting, reports state, is well un-
der way and it is given out that from
one-fourth to one-thiri more of this
staple will be raised in Carter coun-
ty this year than was raised last
year.
