We may well admit that we have
not succeeded in living up to this

reason why the Germans are ridiculed

During thirty years OF German
colonization We have learned next to
nothing. We have considered it be
meath our dignity TO adopt the meth
ods Of other countries. and all the
while we fla: cd ourselves with the
idea we were succeeding. because Of
the mere fact that We were trans

In the German colonies army and

On the other hand. civilians We're

King Of Yeggs" Killed
In Shooting Afrav;
Row Over a Woman

Chicago. Dec. Eddie Fay. call
ed the most skillful cracksman in
America. and known as King of
the Yeggs." is dead. the result of
row over woman. He was shot
and killed by several men, who
escaped in an automobile.
Fay, when not at work" posed
as a gentleman. His clothes were
London made and he appeared a
quiet. successful business man. He
had travelled in Europe and other
parts of the world and was an
entertaining talker. He was a
thorough and systematic worker.
He went into a safe factory to study
the parts of safes and took a degree
as engineer from one school. While
in prison at Atlanta for the robbery
of post office at Richmond, Va. he
took a correspondence course in oxy-
acetylene use. In opening safes he
was ever anxious to learn the latest
methods and studied the ways of his
European cOnfreres.
When a town was picked out for
Job" he sent his men on ahead.
For several weeks they studied the
ground, learning the habits of the
. watchman and others around the
place to be robbed. Fay then
stepped in and did the expert work.
Fay escaped from Jail many times
with the. aid of a woman. He never
touched banks under the protection
of the Pinkerton Detective Agency
or the American Bankers Associa-
tiOn.
He first became notorious in 1901
. through stealing $4,000 in stamps
from the Chicago Postofice. Three
years later he robbed the postoffice
at Superior. Wis. In 1905 he burgla-
rized the Japanese American bank at
Los Angeles, and in 1905 he robbed
the San Diego Postofffce. In 1903 he
was the brains behind the Peoria
robbery. in which $4,000 was taken
from the Peoria National Bank.
About a year ago. with a confede-
! rate, he was tried and acquitted OF
a part in a bank robbery at New
Westminster, B. c.. in which $685.
/ 900 was stolen.
Fay is reported to have stolen
more than 100000 in his lifetime
: and was worth close to $1,000. 600
when killed. Most of his estate was
made up of real estate in Chicago
and California.

The first great trade influence
