BAY RUM FROM WEST INDIES
Only Real Genuine Extract Made From
Trees That Are Cultivated Only
on Danish Islands.

After so years of negotiations, and
at cost of S25,OOO,OOO, the United
States is on the threshold Of achieving
the ownership of the source of all
genuine bay rum.
1t is true that we are not buying
the Danish West Indies primarily be-
cause they are the group made famous
by the refreshing toilet preparation,
nevertheless the American people will
feel more "at home" in calling the is
lands ours when they recall that If 1T
weren't for st. Thomas, st. John and
st. Croix. freshly shaved faces would
be unsoothed by the universally popu-
lar product of distilled leaves.
The bay tree of glory is the Taurus
nobiIis, while the bay of rum has the
caustic name of myrica acris. The pc
culiar species of aromatic bay which
supplies the distinctive ingredient Of
bay rum is closely allied in appear
ance to several other varieties of bay
growing on st. John and st. Crcix,

mitted: Find the woman" The re-
suits obtained indicate that there may
be much in the theory. In the case
of Tollman the connection with the
Gatewood woman was soon estab-
lished. She was not about her old
haunts in New York. No trails were
Immediately found. 1t was developed
that she had originally lived in Kan
sas City. When any individual has
got into trouble there is always
strong probability that he will return
to his old home, another detective the
DRY to which Billy Gard subscribed. 1t
is particularly true with reference
to such serious crimes as murder,
but it is to a material extent true in
all cases that necessitate fight.
Upon this theory Gard went to Kan
sas City to look for the woman in
The Tomahawk., 1916-10-26

| the Tollman case. It required some
| weeks to find her. When she was To-
| Gated it was found that Tollman was
not with her. He had been there un-
til the night before. They had quar-
relied and he had gone away. The
cause of their quarrel was the fact that
Tollman had no money. She had cast
him off as a dead husk. She did not
know his whereabouts.
In practically every case of other
wise well-executed crime these devel-
ops some element of unexpected folly
the criminal does some one thing
that seems, from what would be sup
posed to be his standpoint, inexcusably
stupid. Gard was therefore not sur
prised when it developed that Toll
man had not so much as a thousand
dollars out of all he had taken from
the bank. He had made no provision
for the time which he must have
known would inevitably come when he
should be detected. This, however,
was not the browning folly from a
criminal standpoint. Despite the dash
and cunning and the determination he
had evinced in his lootings, he lost his
nerve when his woman threw him out.
He purchased, with the proceeds of
bridge, Mass, went there, and gave
himself up to the police. Ills nerve
was broken.
The theory of "find the woman" was
applied in the case of the third of the
offenders, John R. Mansfield, the Bos-
Siddons where the faro game was,
upon occasion, set up, and the woman
herself, who was suspected of being
particularly intimate with Mansfield,
were watched. The watch was not eff
fective, however, for the woman dis
appeared with no one seeing her.
The janitor at the apartment house
reported that in going she had taken
particularly heavy trunk. Special
Agent Stephens undertook to follow
that trunk. He canvassed half the
expressmen of Boston before he found
the man who had taken the trunk
away. This man stated that he had
Idhcu IL " LuC DoCh Day SL1IAOI ciI O.
certain time, and that it had been
weighed and found to be in excess of
the baggage a passenger might carry
free of charge. This singled it out
from the mass of trunks. The ex-
pressman remembered that it weighed
225 pounds, and that the baggageman
had marked it for 60 cents excess.
According to the rate book this would
have been the excess charge for that
weight to New York. The trunk was
thus located with sufficient definite
ness that it's number was procured.
In New York it was found that the
excess trunk had been sent on to
North Philadelphia with the charge C.
O. D. Here the record showed that
the trunk had been called for by a
Mrs. Price, living at an address on
Broad street, and the agent remem-
bered that she had been accompanied
by a man. At this address q Mr.. and
Mrs. Price were found to be living.
Special Agent Stephens watched the
The Tomahawk., 1916-10-26

Broad street house until Price came
out. He was none other than Mans
field. He was placed under arrest.
With confidence in the old detective
theory of the woman, the special
agents applied it again in the case
of Walls, the one-time gambler on
transatlantic liners. This was not
done, however, until several suspected
individuals in different cities had been
shown not to be the man wanted, and
many other schemes for the apprehen-
sion of the gambler had failed. For
Walls was married to a very attrac-
tive and respectable woman, who sup
ported herself by keeping a boarding
house after his fight. It could not
be discovered that she was in commu-
nication with her husband. Finally
there was dcveloped aEother woman

keeper had entirely lost his head. He
became consumed with the reckless
ness Of desperation.
In the meantime the Gatewood wom-
an had moved to New York. Also Toll
man had become deeply enamored
with her.. So fond was he of her CON-
pany, as a matter of fact, that he
would often turn over to Kelliner and
Mansfield and other of their friends
the money with which to gamble, while
he visited with Miss Gatewood. The
members of the gang would go to some
gilded restaurant and dine sumptuous-
ly and return to Tollman and report
that luck had been against them, and
that they had lost all the money. On
such occasions the profits of the eve
ming were almost clear to the gang. On
such occasions, so the members of the
train crew back to Boston reported,
Big Bill" Kelliner would sob out his
apparent grief, because of his losses,
on the shoulder of Tollman. The lat
ter was thus placed in the role of
comforter. Kelliner would swear never
to gamble again and make his pro-
testations so earnestly that Tollman
would become the aggressor and urge
his associate on and paint pictures of
luck ahead. So adroitly did Kelliner
play this game that Tollman had been
heard to threaten to break with him
because he was a piker.
For two years this arrangement con-
tinued. Kelliner, Mansfield, Walls,
the Gatewood woman, and other accom-
plices, maintained themselves as de-
coys that induced the young bool1keep-
err to draw even more checks against
his personal account and always eX-
tract these and charge them where
they were least likely to be missed.
Despite his long carouses at night
Tollman never failed to be at the bank
in time to open the mail and extract
the checks that would have betrayed
him. Despite the loss of sleep he was
never so dull that he neglected any
detail in his bookkeeping that would
have caused his accounts to fail to
balance or to show any irregularities
that would have caused the bank ex.
aminer to grow suspicious. Unsus-
pectingly the stern old bank of Balm
bridge stood with unruffled front until
it became but a financial skeleton, it's
last spark of vitality wasted away.
But this young bookkeeper of the
gambling mania! What became Of
him? Those other aiders and abetters
to his crime! What action was taken
in their case?
Special Agent Billy Gard eventually
had in hand a complete understanding
of the individuals and the methods
that were associated with this case.
He had reached the necessity of max
ing arrests.
Kelliner was taken into custody.
He Indignantly protested that he was
innocent of any criminal wrongdoing.
Mansfield, Walls and Tollman had dis
appeared. The capture of the latter
was of first Importance.
The special agent turned first to
that primary command of the old
school detective when crime is COM

bay rum Of American commerce has
been manufactured in this country,
the ingredients usually being about
one-half the bulk alcohol, one-sixteenth

few drops of oil Of mace, and the re-
mainder distilled water, all of which
is allowed to stand for several weeks
and is then filtered through magnesia.

TALES OF HOTEL REPORTERS
Good Old Days When the Imagi-
nation Had Free Rein.

If q man physician named DR.. John
Jones marry woman physician named
DR.. Mary Smith, how shall they regis
ter when they go on their bridal tour?
Shall they register as "Dr. John Jones
and wife," or as ''Dr. John Jones and
DR.. Mary jones'? Shall they call them
selves 'Dr. and Mrs. John JONES'" or
"Drs. John and Mary jones'?
All, for the old days when 'hotel re.
porters used to give Chicago silly-sea-
son problems like this one, which is
now thrown into the New York news
papers, says the Chicago Post.
Those were great times, my masters.
The "hotcl reporters" never had enough
to do Their superiOrs knew it, but
they knew that the fact would stimu-
late the Imagination. It did. Every
afternoon the bored reporters would
gather, with no news and nothing to
write. Inevitably, they would "make
up something-this was before the
day when people began to say frame
up"
They would have "Mr. Zero" Of Med.
icinc Hat PACED on the hottest day OF
the year. They would pull the old one
about the bellboy who called 'Mr

and many others.
The work they did was just plair

question Of how Doctor Jones and wife

that same query. 1t is too bad that
this innocent humor is gone from tn.
