Preventing Premature surials.

Rhe fear of being buried alive al
ways has been, and is. so widespread
that the French Academy of Science
some years ago offered prize equal
to $500 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth-
er. in given case. death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize He had observed the following
well-known signs: If the hand of the
suspected dead person is held towards
candle or other artificial light. with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other. and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light. there appears scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other. due to the blood still circulat-
ing: 1t shows itself through the tis-
sues which have not yet congested.
When life is entirely extinct, the phe-
nomenon of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth of his observation.

What we want to do'is toget a'photo-

poolroom and every bookmaker in this
part of the country. Then they will
know him and can steer clear Of him.
Now, what l want you to do is to get
the photograph. He runs printing
shop down on Broadway and Twenty
seventh street." Eagan told Peyser
the name OF the suspected printer and
Peyser said he would get the photo
graph II anyone could
First he went to see the printer on
the pretext of wanting to do some
business with him, taking care not to
arouse his suspicious. Then, when he
had secured his confidence. he went
to nearby photographer.
There is a fellow around here" he
told the photographer, whose picture
I've got to have. He isn't anxious to
be photographed, either. What want
you to do is to hang out on Twenty
seventh street and Broadway and wait
till you see me. I'll come out about
noon with my friend and when you see
us you can level the camera and take
the picture"
This agreed upon. Peyser went to
see the printer, with whom he had al
ready arranged to have luncheon. At
noon they rounded the corner Of Twen-
ty.seventh street and Broadway, Pey-
ser talking eagerly to the printer as
they walked along. The photographer
was seated on a bootblack stand, hav-
hand. on the opposite corner. He lev
eled the camera at the dishonest
printer and Peyser continued to talk
vigorously.
Unable to get the right focus from
the bootblack stand. the photographer
swung down and started out in the
street. Then he rested his camera on
the wheel of an express wagon that
happened to be standing at conven-
lent distance and started to focus
again.
"Say." said the printer to Peyser,
"who is that fellow over there and
why is he 'mugging' me? What have
I done that would make anyone want
q picture of me?"
"You!" exclaimed Peyser. with a
laugh. "Nobody's 'mugging' you.
Why, there does seem to be camera
man. but how do you know he isn't
aiming at me? Guess I'd make as
good-looking a picture as you would"
II don't like it.. anyway" said the
printer, and the keen eyes OF the de-
tective did not miss the nervous COM

preston, OF his lips. The printer
pulled his wide brimmed hat over his
face and shrunk his chin down on his
breast. "They can get picture of my
hat II they want it. That can't be
much good" he growled.
Took the Photograph, Himself.
After lunch, during which Peyser
tried to get the printers mind off the
camera episode, he left and hurried to
the photographer.
Sorry, Mr.. Peyser," he said, but
couldn't get any results. Your friend
pulled down his hat and that's all l
could get" He held up the dripping
negative that he had been developing
and showed only blur Of hat that
would be of no use as an identifica-
ton.
Peyser hurried on with his discour-
aging news to Eagan.
What are you going to do about
it," asked Eagan. "My poolroom and
bookmaking business means good
deal to me and I'll lose it II we don't
put stop to these fake tickets. What
are you going to do?" Sid .n....

It was In the good old days of the
early nineties when horse racing flour
ished under a kindlier law in New
York than 1t does today that Tom
Eagan had the distinction Of being off,
cial stationer and printer to the book
makers and poolrooms Of the city. He
supplied them with pencils and pads,
blank books. ink and record books and
did whatever printing their business
called for. He 1t was who printed the
colored tickets issued to those who
bet on the races In the poolrooms or
on the track. These tickets. which
were filled in at the time of the bet
ting. served as record Of the transac-
ton, and in case the bettor was lucky
he received his winnings on presenta-
tion Of the ticket.
Toms business with the poolrooms
and bookmakers had thriven and 1t
seemed that the neat little profit from
printing the tickets would continue 30
long as Tom Eagan continued to run
his printing presses.
One day, however, Mr.. Eagan got
word that there were counterfeiters at
work. Fake tickets were being print
ed and filled out to duplicate Eagan's
tickets, and every once in a while win
nings went to holder Of the fake
ticket instead Of to the real winner.
So between Mr.. Eagan and the pool
room operators a new system had to
be devised. Thereafter tickets were
printed in several colors, according to
the number Of the ticket. That Is. all
tickets numbering between one and a
hundred should be pink, all between
The Ordway new era., 1915-04-09

one and two hundred should be green,
and SO on throughout the list. Each
day different color was used for a
different set of numbers, and as this
code was communicated secretly to
the poolroom men it was hoped that in
this way they could detect the fraudu-
lent tickets.
Still the trouble continued. Appar-
emily the dishonest printer printed his
slips on every color of cardboard
every day. Then when the races were
over the man who manipulated the
fraudulent tickets would manage to
see over the shoulder Of the holder Of
the winning ticket, note the number
and the color. select ticket of the
right denomination and color from his
own collection. fill it in and, on pre-
senting it to the bookmaker or pool
room operator before the lawful win
ner arrived, he would get the win
nings.
Called In Frank Peyser.
Something had to be done and 1t
was clearly up to Eagan to think what
it should be.
II know who the crook printer is"
he told the poolroom men, but
haven't evidence enough to convict
him. However, think 1 can stop the
issue Of the fake tickets.' Then
Eagan sent for Frank Peyser. known

In this position he was on duty at all
the big race tracks, at Belmont park,
at Jamaica, at Sheepshead Bay, Brigh
ton Beach, Gravesend and Morris
park. on the lookout for pickpockets
and dishonest bookmakers. So sue
cessful was he in handling pickpockets
that after six years with the Pinker
tons he was called by the New York
Wanamaker store. This work required
greater skill even than the race-track
work, for it is better, according to the
department store creed, to let ten
shoplifters go than to make one false
arrest However, Mr. Peyser was no
blunderer and in the thirteen years he
worked in that department store his
employers didn't have to pay cent
for damages and false arrests made by
him.
One of the first things that Mr.. Pey-
ser always asked the amateur shop
litter when he had taken her to his
Office in the department store and had
forced confession was concerning her
health. Are you in the hands or
doctor?" he would say. and then, "Are
you taking medicine for your all
ment?"
. Usually the answer to these ques-
tions would come In the affirmative.
Then Mr.. Peyser would ask to exam
Inc the medicine before going further
with the arrest. Usually whiff Of it
would be enough. 1t would tell him
that the offender was unwittingly un-
der the influence of opium or ether.
and in nine cases out of ten the poi
sonous drug was taken as medicine.
In these cases Mr.. Peyser would usu-
ally let his offender go. 1s
