TO PROBE A MANS
I'm OFFICER, STORY
Stranger Represents Self to Beeve
As Frisco Special Agent
Johnson.

An investigation which may result
in a charge of impersonating an Off
Ger being placed against a man who
gives his name as D. Martin of Chica-
go, will be made today by the Police
Department and J. A. Johnson of
Chaffee, special agent for the Frisco
Railroad.
Martin is a travelling salesman for
Il Chicago drug concern, he said at the
St. Charles Hotel, where he is stop
ping and told officers.
His actions which led to the investi-
cation were performed yesterday aft
crnoon and last night following the
arrest by Patrolman Stone of two men
charged with disturbing the peace in
the Terminal Bar.
Two men who gave their names as
Edward Grant and H. Herbert, of $40
South Ellis street, both employees of
a South Cape milling company, went
into the Terminal Bar and ordered
drink.
One of the men picked up the whis-
key flask that was set before him and
started to flood the mahogany with
the contents Claud Speak voiced his
objections to such a waste of "per-
fectly good licker," whereupon the
man began quarreling with Speak.
He threatened to fight both Speak
and his assistant. Speak had Stone
called and the two men were arrested.
They were taken to the police station
in an automobile.
As the two departed with Stone,
Martin remarked to Speak that he
could have called upon him to perform
the officers work, announcing that he
was representative of law and or
der.
A few minutes later, the man ap-
pcared at the police station and asked
to be allowed to examine some papers
concerning the two men who had been
arrested at the Terminal Bar. He ex-
planned that he was an officer from
Chaffce.
Patrolman Becve met the man at
the police station and listened to his
request He told Beeve that he was
J. A. Johnson, special agent for the
Frisco, and that he wanted to look at
the documents in the police station.
Beeve happens to be a personal
friend Of Johnson, the special agent,
and did not recognize his friend in the
man who stood before him.
Can you give me something to
show you arc an officer" Beeve ask
cd him.
"Surc! Look at this" the man re-
piled as he handed Beeve a card bear
ing the name of J. A. Johnson, special
agent.
"That card is not sufficient" Beeve
told him. Have you letter or any
other kind of document? You have to
assure US of your official standing be-
fore we can allow you to examine any
of our papers"
Beeve said the man thereupon pull
ed forth bunch of letters which SEEM
cd to pertain to the drug BUSINESS.
Becvc explained that they did not con-
vince him that the stranger was an
officer.
He then told Martin that he knew he
was not johnson. Beeve's admission to
the stranger that he was warm, per-
sonal friend to johnson, had the effect
of whiting" the gentleman. He can
didly admitted he was not Johnson,
but allowed as how" he was an as
sistant sent to the Cape.
At that juncture, he called the city
bus and departed hurriedly.
Beeve consulted Assistant Special
Agent Vinson of the Frisco, who like

Dutch Thrift

Who is shod than the shoemaker's wife, asks old proverh, and it has wide application. A traveller, arrived recently in Holland from Japan and China. had occasion to make use of it. Fresh milk and cream were luxures that he did not enjoy in the Orient, but he knew that Holland provided ideal conditions for the raising of cattle and that it had the cattle among the finest in the world. As he approached, The Hague, therefore, his craving for glass of half and half" and milk, became acute, and one of his first motions on landing was satisfy his appetite It took him fully half hour 1imburger and Edam cheeses and milk is far toe valuable to waste in pouring down the gullet
 In this country where ice has almost ceased be a luxury, an incident like that related is disposed make feel that Hoanders have thrift beyond ali logic. It must be fessed that Americans cannot be accused of such a failing; far from it. However the practice of stint ing ourselves that others may have the best is not unknown own farms. Cream is often much more plentiful city tables than it is those of dairymen; and the farmer who sells his best apples and keeps the scrubs for home consumption, dis poses of stal-fed while he and his wife and childre eat pork, is wholly extinct yet
 To be sure neither the sturdy Dutchman nor the shrewd American is conscious of mastering spirit of atrusm when he does he does. He isn't saving the best for the ether fel- low because of an all-consuming passion for the other fellows good. He has his ends to and there is in his conduct lesson fer good many in this favored land, where in many homes the mouth is open before the hand be raised feed it.

The Recall

To sign a recall petition to vote against an officer a recall election does not necessarily sig nify that the signer or the voter, if he acts the part public spirited citizen, entertains any per sonal ill-will toward the official whose recall is sought In the of the mayor and commis- sion against whom recall petitions in circula- tion no crime is charged suspected. There is or ought to he. personal bitterness toward them Their offense incident of the dis agreement between them and the city manager. They only of tune with the city charter and the form of government which the people chose a ear ago Either they have been unable to form a conception of the limitation of their powers under the charter else they have deliberately over stepped that limitation, but in either event they are of place.
 They should in the first place, not have ac- cepted any position under the charter without un- derstanding it and if later, they had found that they could not conform the provisions of the charter they should have resigned in order that the turmoil of a recall election might be avoided. But they have elected resign but to go before the people And what do they take before the people? The question whether their wisdom is rior that of the majority of voters who ratified ihe charter They take also before the people the extraordinary proposition that an elective official may in certain circumstances violate the fundamen-  tal law of the city and aside the oath he has taken to observe the law. In withstandng the re- call they ask the people to endorse that remark able proposition.
 In these circumstances do not see why any citizen who believes that charter form of government is important than the personality of any official should vote with personal friend liness toward him, that official. If citi- zen believes that the mayor and the commissioners have done rght that they have not violated the charter that they fit t, discharge their duties. he should sign a petition against them or vote against them though he may have reasons of his own for not liking them. On the other hand, no citizen however friendly toward them should re frain from signing petitions against them voting against them if he believes that they guilty of the offense charged in the petition.
 The recall not instituted to vent spite or to punish offenses against the individual. Nor it contemplated that good citizens should refrain from using it of a personal liking for against whom it might be invoked if guilty of offense against the community

GREAT INVENTION BY A SERB

One other invention has done almost much as the switchboard in extending the telephone This has had romantic life it's discoverer The newspapers today filled with the fiery excoria- tiOns of a distinguished Servian patriot-Michae l. Pupin. Most newspaper readers know this only the honorary consul of Serva New York the supposed instigator of plots against the flaps burg dynasty of the numerous exiles whose appearance Austrian soil would unquestionaby mean his immediate arrest Michael Idvorsky Pupn splendidly illustrates what American opportunities can do for European immigrant. In his early days Mr. Pupin obtained employment a rubber in a Turkish bath. But the American educational sys- tenn transformed him. He graduated from Co., lumbia in 1883, and afterward studied extensively in Germany
 The subject of electro mechanics absorbed him. One thing had prevented the extension of the telephone; that the size of the wire. Long distance fines. up to 1900. demanded wire about eighth of inch thck-as thick fair sized lead pencil. The New York-Chicago line, built in 1885, consumed S700OO pounds of copper wire of this size. The expense stood in the way of any extended development. The thickness also interefered with cable extension. Wires placed under the ground lose amount of their energy. In the early cables, therefore, the under ground wires had to be very thick. Only about hundred wires could be squeezed into cable against the eighteen hundred compressed in the
 
 About 1900 telephone progress marking time awaiting the arrival of thin wire that would do the work of thick The importance of the problem is shown by the fact that one fourth of all the capital invested in the telephone has been spent in copper. Prof. Pupin by solving this problem, in his quiet laboratory at Columbia university, the greatest prize in modern teephonc
 His researches resulted in the famous "Pupi coil" in the expedient known loading When the scientists attempt to explain this they have to use all kinds of mathematical formulas and curves in fact they usually get to quarreing among them selves the points involved. What Prof Pupin has apparently done has been to free the wire from those miscellaneous disturbances known as in ductiOn."
 All kinds of influences warning upon the electric deprive it of it's strength. Under his system coils placed at regular intervals along the wires absorb this induction and leave the wire free to do it's work piece of copper a sixteenth of an inch thick, therefore, does much the monster that formally required.

Parasites of Speech

Hon. Victor Murdock whose congressional career for present has expired by limitation is about to introduce a novelty in his newspaper the Wichita tKans) Eagle. More accurately he is going to leave a novelty in his paper by elimination pro- cess He is going to cut adjectives out of the so- eiety page otherwise restore it to sanity. Some newspaper paragraphers already engaged Tn 'jollyng" Mir Murdock who to them to be intending attempt the unattainable. He will prob ably find his task easy and that it will be crowned with success We should like him extend the reform beyond the Society page. to every column of the Eagle. We wonder that some newspaper has tried it.
 Adjectives, of course, may be wholly dis pensed with The adjective is necessary part of speech just as the artists necessary to the production of a masterpiece. But more good canvas has been spoiled by paint brushes than by any other instrument.
 So more descriptions have been ruined by ad- 1ectives in the mouths the pens of people who did not know how to them than by all other means put together. We should include adverbs among the destructive parasites of speech.
 Frequently adjective is used by the unskillful and very large majority of writers and speakers are unskilfu with the intention of adding strength and beauty They succeed only in weakening and Gisfiguring. They only qualify modify.
 For instance say thing is very good .Vcry' is used with the mistaken notion that it ac oentuass the goodnss, whereas it only signifies a falling short of perfect goodness The cereless use of an adjective may produce grotesque. offensive effect and that is necessarily weakening
