SCOTLAND YARD"

I'VE have had . good many different
kinds Of detectives shopping through
the book-sheives from time to time.
There was the incompatible Sherlock
Holmes. the redoubtabie Arsens Lupin
and others too numerous to mention
In 'cleek Of Scotland Yard by Thomas
II. Hanshew. there IL . brand new kind
About this very 'Cieek' Mr.. Hanshsw
once said:
"T never had any particular love for
the detective type Of ,ction. 90 Il was
no natural tendency which drew my
thoughts in that direction. but for years
and years I had been beset by q desire
to Introduce . new type Of man into II
a. the hero: In other words. the man OF
| culture. birth. gentle instincts and high
ideals: one who would be free from all
Irritating mannerlsms. above all such
habits a. those OF the drug -fend and
his kin. and SO clearly q creature Of the
better clay that all who ran might read.
He would be . lover OF flowers, of
course; l couldn't have any sympathy
with him u he were not. He would BE-
full q broad humanity: with high ideals
where women were concerned: full Of
charity and tenderness toward the
merely srring. but very tiger toward
the naturally depraved and. behind II
all. a. sharp ~ q needle and up TO the
tricks OF every type Of criminal Of the
great Underworld-anywhere.'
This interesting character. Cieek of
Scotland Yard. operates through all the
stories Of the famous motion picture

SEVENTH Street
PROPERTY OWNERS
GIVEN HEARING
Several Directors to Improvement of
Street Appeared-After Ex-
plantations Withdrew.

At a special meeting Of the Boarl
of Local improvements held last
night at the council chamber, objee-
tions were heard from property
owners on Seventh street to the
proposed improvement, by sewering,
graveling, curbing and guttering,
from the west side OF Commercial
avenue to the center line Of Jeffer-
son avenue. The objectors, of whom
there were only few, after having
matters explained til them, with
drew their contentions and the
council placed the ordinance on its
second reading.
Contractor Roy Williams made a
short talk to the Board concerning
the Is per cent yet due him on the
Sycamore street improvement,
which amount is being held until
the street is completed The street
cannot be completed until the Big
Four railroad does it's part in build
ing the subway which has been or
dered built at the crossing of the
road over Sycamore street. He stated
that over $4,000 was withheld and
that he got no interest on it and
needed the money. He said he
would safeguard the city in the mat
ter, if they paid him what was due
him by giving good and sufficient
security to guarantee that he would
complete the street when the sub
way was built. The commissioners
were inclined to grant his request
provided the matter could be legally
arranged. Corporation Counsel W.
S. Dewey was asked his opinion In
the matter and stated that he would
have to look into the law in the
case and would render his opinion
at a future meeting.

UPTOWN STREETS
IN DISTRICT NO.

All Objections by Property Owners
Have Been Withdrawn and
Bids Will be Asked.

District No. 1 will be paved In the
near future; all objections have
been withdrawn to this improve
ment which has been objected to
principally from the fact that the
estimate by the city had been made
a little higher than thu property
owners thought was necessary. The
streets in No. ] district that are to
be improved by sewering. graveling,
curbing and gnttering are all these
between Twenty-tlrst and Twenty
eighth west of Washington avenue.
The city will now go ahead and ad-
vertise for bids for this work and
some of the work may be complete
before the rainy season sets in. The
matter was settled in the county
court yesterday afternoon.

Mr.. Cannon should be given q

J0FFRE HAS PUSHED
HIS LINES INSIDE OF
GERMAN BIG GUNS RANGE

Paris, Sept. 2S.-The prolonga-
tion of the tension on the two long
lines of fire and death fronting each
other on the Aisne must have be-
come iusupportable to the Germans.
since reports indicate that they
have changed their tactics and now
attack with the bayonet. The onin-
on is expressed hero that Gen.
Joffre's master hand is shown in
this, as it is believed he has sue
ceeded in pushing his lines inside
the range Of the permanent position
of the deadly heavy German guns
and forced the enemy to close in
fantry fighting.
Since the attacks have been re-
pulsed over the whole line, accord
ingto the official communications
the military experts here cannot
see now what resources the German
Emperor's General can call on him
to retrieve their fortunes The Ma
tin expresses the opinion that the
new troops the allies found fronting
them on the left were not from the
German left, but part of the forces
detached after Charleroi and sent to
East Prussia, but now brought back
IN haste, The general opinion IS
that the battle has reached the most
critical as well as the most violent
phase and that the issue cannot be
delayed much longer.

The biggest circus, probably the
largest in the world, will disband In
Cairo and disburse 100000 to its
employees. This will be a big day
for Cairo and If everything is favor
able, 1t will be a profitable one.
The circus is the Great Ringing
Brothers United Shows and was in
dueed to disbaud In Cairo through
the efforts OF r. e. Cannon. The
show had made arrangements to pay
off in Clarksdale, Miss where they
had been offered $500 by the city.
Mr.. Cannon made personal call at
the Chicago office and induced the
management to have the show come
to Cairo.
Agent N. j. Petit arrived yester-
day morning and took the matter
up with Mayor Wood as he was in
structed by the Chicago office and
Mr.. Cannon. Mayor Wood put the
matter up to the Association of
Commerce. The show asked for free
grounds, licenses and water, which
was granted at meeting of the di-
rectors of the Association.
The show employees will have a
great deal of money due them as
they are not paid in full until the
end of the season. Money is held
back each pay day in order to keep
them from leaving the show. Some
Of the employees will receive from
$3.50 to $500. All of the 100000
will be paid in cash and it is expected
that a great deal of the money will
be spent here. The people will need
winter clothing and they will in all
probability purchase some of Il
here.
