ike roc, OellcNeO InaJ IL WIS necessary
to put the mask of fiction on murder in
order to make it truly attractive. This
should not be so. By the very interest of
his book Mr.. Irving proves how absorbing
is the straightforward narrative of the
crime that was. The fault to be found
with his book is not the treatment of the
individual case or any lack of pains of
literary merit, but his choosing, seemingly
at random, a few almost unrelated eases
from an unlimited field. Perhaps it is be-
cause he knew these eases best. But they
are set in five different countries, the mo-
tives are several and the criminals are not
Of the same type.
The American reader will naturally look
to see whether this country, always jeal-
Gus of its place, is represented. 1t is, and
in two of the ten cases. But the cases are
as far apart as the poles: Professor Web
ster and II. II. Holiness!
Motives in Murders.
Now Holmes was a criminal in the
sense that Charles Peace, who has the
place of honor in the volume, was n Grim
inal. He was q more vicious criminal
than Peace, for he made killing the cor
nerstone of all his crimes, while the Eng
lishman killed only when his safety made
it necessary. But the villain of Harvard's
memorable tragedy was not of this low
group at all. Money lay behind his muir
der of DIR. Parkman, but it was money
that he had already borrowed and spent.
Professor Webster's was a crime of es-
cape rather than of greed. Webster was
q criminal and his crime was remarkable
(taken in connection with the former rep
utation of himself and his victim), but
it is peculiar to find him classed as a re-
markable criminal in the same book with
Charley Peace, with the archfend of the
murder castle in Chicago and with Robert
Butler, the vicious New Zealand murderer.
Some American Crimes.
We have had in America so many in
teresting, not to say delightful, murders
that it seems strange to find Webster and
Holmes-two contrasts-alOne together as
if they were the best this broad land could
offer. Of course it is true that we have
had more celebrated crimes than celebrated
criminals. The murder of the Bordens,
the MOlineux case, the killing of Dolly
REYNOLDS, the Burdick mystery in Buff
falo-all these, to name but few of a
great group, were sensational, sometimes
involved, crimes for which no person paid
the official penalty. In each of those cases
there was the celebrated suspect, but no
body was executed at an appointed hour.
We have had other cases, like the Stokes
Fisk and Thaw-White murders, where
there was no immediate mystery about the
crime and no adequate payment for it.
We have had mysteries too, which were
solved to the satisfaction of the juries and
the higher eourts-the killing of Adams
by Colt, OF Guldensuppe by Martin
Thorn and Mrs. Mack, Of various persons
by DR.. Buchanan and DR.. Meyer and Of
Mary Helen Potts by her husband, Car
lyle Harris.

Trifles Lives Hang BY.

Mr.. Irving has French poisoning case
in his book, but it is no more interesting
than the way of DR.. Meyer with his VIC
TINS and there is no such atmosphere as
that which hung about the last days Of
the old millionaire Rice He has cases
where two persons conspired to kill a
third, but they are no more absorbing
than the combination Of those two Prus-
sian born creatures, Thorn and Mack, to
kill Guldensuppe. There is nothing so
curious in the book as some Of the trifles
that have been the pivot in some New York
mysteries; a mans ignorance Of the fact
that q champagne bottle is not opened
with a corkscrew almost cost him his
life in the Reynolds case and the finding
of side comb caused the arrest Of Flor
ence Burns on q charge of having killed
Walter Brooks. Alas for the reputation
Of the French fictional detective heroes!
We find that in the French murders de-
tailed by Mr.. Irving the crime was fast
ened on the guilty by his own clumsiness
or by the confession Of confederate or
by the most obvious of police methods.
The work of the late George W. McClusky
IN the Molineux case makes him a super
Sherlock Holmes in comparison with some
of the pursuers Of Mr.. Irving's remark
able criminals.
A Scanty Literature.
All this DIVORCES, of course, from the
subject of Mr.. 1rving's collection; but, as
was remarked at the beginning, his work
is valuable not only by what it presents
but by what it suggests. Very few books

stitution would have consisted large
iy of Sitting up exercises. Much of
the more rigorous parts of military
training would have been omitted.
While a system of military train
ing, through the recommendation of
the War Department has been inau- |
gurated in practically all of the col
leges and universities of the country, !
no steps have been taken for the es
tablishment of a similar system in
secondary schools. Commenting on
this, DR.. Downes said, I'VE will be
glad to cooperate fully with the
War Department in any recommen-
dation that it may make for military
or phN zeal trai lin ir 81 como ir'
schools and will be only too glad to
do So"
Harrisburg Academy officials have
taken the initiative in the matter of
military training and are now MAX
ing preparations for the importation
of the rudiments of the military tao
tics to the students during the COM
ing term. A request has been made to
have Sergeant Blake of the Harris
burg recruiting station detailed for
this work, but a War Department
ruling will prevent him from doing
this as part of his regular duty.
A second request has been made
that he be permitted to instruct the
students in addition to his regular
duties. This matter has not been
finally passed on, officials at the re-
cruiting station said this morning.
1t is almost certain, however, that a
system of military training will be
established at the Riverside institu-
ton.
Much interest is being shown in
Harrisburg and vicinity in military
affairs just now. Members Of the
Harrisburg Reserves during the past
several weeks have been instructing
registrants of county draft board No.
in the rudiments of military tac-
tics and expect soon to start in
structing registrants in the southern
end of the county.

CITY MILkMEN
AGREE TO ZONE
SYSTEM HERE
Plans of State Conservation
Expert to Be Followed
by Dealers

AS a result of the meeting of the
city's milk men in Maennerchor Hall
last evening it is likely the city will
be zoned within the near future for
milk distribution.
]. William Bowman. appointed by
the Dauphn County Food Admin
istrator to work out the zoning prob
lem with the dealers, presided at the
meeting l.. A. Sterick, president
of the Retail Milk Dealers Associa-
tion, and another representative OF
the food administration, also were
at the meeting.
To Act Immediately
AS a result of the meeting prac-
teal steps to make the zoning COM
plete within short time will be
taken at once. The plans of DR..
Clyde L. King, state milk conserVa-
ton expert, will be followed by the
milk men.
Blanks were distributed on which
the milk men will list their routes.
Each milk man will list his route
at once and submit the list to Mr..
Bowman, who will send the tabulat-
ed lists to DIR. King when they have
all been received by him, then DR..
King will work out the zones for
the city. When DR.. Kings zone
plans are returned the milk men
will begin 20 distribute milk on the
same basis as newspapers are deliv-
cred, from door to dorr.
The saving in time and materials
through the zoning methods was ap-
parent to the local food administra-
tor after DIR. Kings visit to this city
Donald Mccormick, food adminis-
traitor, appointed Mr.. Bowman at
once to look into the plan and work
with the milk men.
Dealers Vote Unanimous
The vote of the dealers to accept
the Zoning plan was unanimous. Mr..
Bowman expressed himself gratified
at their ready response to the re-
quest of the food administration.
The change in routes will mean that
many of the dealers will have to give
up some of their oldest customers
for the common good.
A resolution was adopted unani-
mously expressing confidence in the
food administration and agreeing to
cooperate in the plan for efficient
distribution of the milk supply.
