Fnk Works A Disappointment

The Chamber of Commerce feels
that an apology is due the many
spectators who came to Long Wharf
last evening to see the fire works.
BY way of explanation we WISH to
state that the $50, which was invest

Works Company of Baltimore. pur-
chased fire works which were damp,
and many of the best pieces were
spoiled and would not fire at all.
The selection, as made by the l. X.

make it difficult to determine what
the pieces were, and the experience

direct descendants we have crab
by bosses. crabby landlords. crab
by prohibitionists and oh. yes.
that famous crab apple tree in
New Brunswick.
With the apple episode out of
the way. Adam and Eve settled
down to real marital existence.
They were the first real married
couple In the world and since
Reno had not yet become known
rs the Great Divide OF the United
Btates. they had to stay married,
which proves neither OF them had
any histrionic inclipations. And
90 suffering came into existence.
The Adam and Eve family soon
outgrew their old quarters by
virtue Of a rising generation and
sharp real estate agents lured
them out to the suburbs by rash
promises of making as good time
down to their office as they could
II they lived in Eden.
The world prospered. Cities
began to spring UP on all sides.
Then q new evil befell the world.
Somebody opened a cigar store
and gave certificates with each
purchase. The Indians were
driven off the stands they had
taken, and 10, this marked the
passing Of the Redmen. The only
Indians left now are wives. and
IT'S the drug store that makes
'em look that way. But their
actions. however, are quite nat
ural for wives.
We will pass briefly over the
next 1000 years or 10. Nothing
Of much interest happened except
that time, as time will. flew.
Kingdoms rose hither and thither
like rents, and dynasties toppfed
thither and hither like the food
prices the Department of Asri-
culture talks about In It's monthly
reports, but which the grocer or
(the. butcher never take the trou-
Bile to read.
In the meantime Xantippe. the
originator of the line. Take q
tip from me-" invented the quar-
ter meter. He was madly In love
with a dame by the name of
Pythias whose father insisted on
having the gaslight burning in(
the spooning-we mean dining
room. This got xantippe's nanny,
90, being Of an inventive turn
Of mind he brought forth, the
quarter meter and saw to 1t
the old man was always out OF
quarters. And thereafter Pythias
did her spooning in the dark
which is how the Nights Of
Pythias first got it's start. -
At about this time the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury placed some
bets on siadfators who the sport
ing writers. said were sure to
win. He lost and in order to
cover up his losinss burned the
treasury and with 1t all the quar-.
ters. simultaneously q strike
broke out in the gas company
and the populace refused to scab
until the living wage question was
settled. There being nobody to
collect the quarters from the coin
boxes, all the lights went out.
Which brings us to the Dark
Ages.

STORY II.

ITO get the proper perspective on
Henry Russell Wilken you must 20
back to the time he was about Is
years old. He is about 33 now, and max
ing the best of it in Federal prison near
Seattle. With any sort of luck he should
be out soon, his sentence commuted, but
assure you that the Government will have
him in mind all the time and take more
than casual interest in his activities.
He is the only man who has ever sue
cessfully counterfeited the fabrics on which
we print our paper money. He did that so
well that the people who make It for the
Government accepted 1t as genuine Now
that I'm out Of the Government service
can grin at what happened at that paper
mill He was clever boy and nice one
You'd like him.
There have been counterfeiters and coun-
terfeiters. Some were almost brilliant
Others were plain dubs-cumsy lowbrows.

Had No Special knowledge.
Merely Love of Adventure

He didn't have that knowledge of chem
istry a first or second year high school
student has, All he had was an inspra-
tion, a vivid imagination, an amazing love
for adventure and a love for hard work and
assiduous study that should have made
quite man Of him had 1t not been directed
by -pathologically sick mind
However this is DEPRESSING lamentably.
I can't help It, The boy was an amazing
study of misdirection and a rather pa
thetlc one, too Just consider soung man
who, launching into his first lawlessness,
defied the Government and half the police
departments for more than four years and
then was caught merely because he over
looked thing so simple as To-
But let us go back to Henry Russell

Wilken, who was Is years old Having at
tanned to that age, he announced to his
family that he was done with schoolrooms
lie would go to work and study in connec-
tion with his work, he told them. The
Wilkenslive in Boston, most respectable
family. There was brother who took
honors in his university, and a sister who
took her degree in New England college,
Henry had his own ideas about education
II had a knack for sketching," he told
me later, "and had hunch that il was
not the forerunner of genius. In other
words, I knew that ] was not destined to
become a good painter or sculptor.
knew that I could use a pencil rather
work and study fTeehand drawing in con-
nection with my work"
So Henry went to work for the Ringling
Brothers and evolved some rather remark
able advertising layouts. When he was IL
he went to work for the Hood Milk Company
in Boston and was placed in charge of
its advertising department. He had
small studio in Washington street where
he did little work on the side and where
he evolved some clever ideas for pictorial
advertising.
But / find that he lacked what we cali
scruple know of no other way of putting
It, He had no compunctions about being
slightly dishonest. | do not know that
he stole money or the material possessions

Got a Studio in New York
And lob With Advertiser

Wilken left that paper mill convinced
that he was quite ready to start business.
He moved to New York city and set up
studio at $50 West 125th street. To make
everything appear regular he got a iNb
with an advertising firm. He drew PC
lures of soap and suspenders, and so on,
and did rather good work arranging dis
play type for posters. That required only
a small part Of his time.
The salary he got kept him in food and
clothing and lodging. Whatever was left
over went for supplies. And It was just
about this time the inevitable happened.
He became involved with women. Even

A MONG modern detectives the out
~ standing figure for many years
has been William J. Flynn.
Few men in the world have had as
much to do with crime and criminals,
plot and counterplot, as has this big,
silent, mysterious figure, who for so
long was the chief of the United States
''Secret Service" His field was not that
Of city or State-but the whole
world. Cities and States tire, some
times. of the hunt for an elusive fugi-
tive, or of a seemingly hopeless plod-
ding along the trail of crime mystery.
But there is a widely quoted saying
''Uncle Sam never tires; never gives up.
If you offend him he will get you some
time, somewhere" For many years
this ''he' that stands for Uncle Sans
secret police was William J. Flynn,
their chief.
Now "Chief'' Flynn has retired to
fight criminals on his own account.
Out of his vast experience he will tell
in The Herald Sunday Magazine, from
week to week, OF his most interesting
and exciting experiences with the clev-
crest of the worlds criminals and Of
intrigue i'm high places.

delicate artistry. But here you have boy
who had never seen an engraver at work,
who knew no more about the engraving
and printing industry than he did about
paper making and chemistry. / assure you
his knowledge of these industries prior, of
course, to launching upon his great enter
prise. amounted to nothing at all.
In fact, he told me, and verified It, that
he had never been in an engraving or
printing plant in his life before he de-
cided to compete with the United States
Mint.

Secret Service Starts Work
In Tracing Bogus Bills

But before we get to that let me explain
thai all this was not done without the
Treasury Department being informed
Banks began turning in the bills in dis
concerting numbers. And we started out
in large numbers to find the maker and cir
culator of the counterfeits l must say, to
begin with, that not all the Wilken bills
were detected. Really relatively few Of
them came into our hands.
We took several OF tie bills to the paper
mill In Dalton.
They declared the paper to be genuinel
We looked back over the production
records and checked them against cor.
sumption. The two figures balanced! In
other words the United States Mint had
used all that had been produced There
seemed to be nothing to do but watch the
factory. For six months We hung around
and nothing happened
Finally one afternoon after he had re-
tired from the factory we received a tele-
gram to the effect that an employee had
left for New York on a train leaving DaL
ton In the morning. We had an ampie
description of the man and his name. He
was said to be carrying package--a mys-
terious package. We spotted him in
Grand Central Station and followed him to
the Harvard Club.
He was dressed In his working clothes
An hour or two later he came out of the
club and took taxicab to a haberdasher's
shop. There he bought dress shirt. Here
