ALLEN BINKERTON'S RECORD CASE
a True petective story-copyr

Story-Copyrighted.
$4,000 in cash was gone, but they had
overlooked or deliberately left the SS2,-
600 in stamps"
Pinkerton made no comment at the
time but continued his examination OF
the room where the robbery had taken
place. careful scrutiny of the door
revealed two interesting facts: The bolt
had been bent, as if 1t had been in place
when the door was forced, but 1t was
bent far more than was necessary to Sc
cure an entrance to the room, and there
were no scratches or other signs of vio-
Ience on the outside of the door.
All the evidence appeared to point to
the fact that the job had been handled
from the inside, and Pinkerton immedi-
ately ordered the arrest Of Barker and
his assistant The two men protested
their innocence.
| Upon looking into BarkeF'S antecedents
Pinkerton found that the express clerk
| had brother, living in Chicago, a man
who was reputed to be quite wealthy, and
whom Barker stated would willingly go
on his bail if permitted to do so. But
the Chicago branch of the Pinkerton
! agency reported that the other Barker
was not only not wealthy, but was prom
| inent in the life of the underworld.
Where was this man on the night OF
the Columbus robbery" Allan Pinkerton

tion," came back the reply; "but he was

administered chloroform to his sleeping
assistant. Then he opened the outsid,
door, admitted his brother, and opened
/ the safe. After strewing papers all owe
the floor, Henry Barker placed a c1otl
saturated with chloroform over hi
brothers nostrils, stuffed the cash in hi
pocket and left, first bending back TIL
bolt on the door. Unfortunately, how
ever, he had been a little too thorough
in attending to this last detail, and hat

FUNDAMENTAL DIFFICULTIES.

It is fully understood that the present
trouble in the coal fields must come to
an end some time and that adjustment
is likely to be accomplished as the sup
ply of coal on hand dwindles. Just now
there isn't much pressure being brought
to bear by the consumers because they
are getting all the coal they need with
the prospects Of being served for some
time yet 1t is when the consumer be-
gins to feel the effect and when he sees
the approach Of a shortage that the
crisis will develop, although he doesn't
believe in waiting until a coal famine
and high prices are upon him before
starting some effective action.
Interest is bound to be taken IN the
Investigation which is now being made
conditions existing in the coal industry.
iThe gathering of facts and the studying
Of prevailing conditions is for the pur-
pose of determining what the situation
actually is that there may be some basis
for suggesting a plan of reorganization
for the industry.
| Just now there is concern over the end
/ ing Of the present trouble, but that was
in the past, simply means that it viii
develop again when such agreement az
/ is arrived at expires. While the termi
nation Of the trouble is much desired i
is Of even more Importance that step
should be taken If possible to put an en-,
to this hating of production every yea
or two for varying periods and creating
much uncertainty among the big and lit
tie consumers.
If fundamental difficulties can be over
come much general benefit will resul
and it is to be hoped that the department
OF commerce can accomplish what it /
aiming at and desires in this direction.

Law Breaking

Dear Editor: From my observation it is
becoming more and more impressed IL
my mind that the people of today ar.
adhering to our laws less and less as time
wends it way along. We have a certain
method by which our national and state
lawR are made, and anyone who Is con-
tinually knocking and making fun OF these
methods in my opinion has no right to en-
5ov the freedom of this @ lntry or state.
I have always been taught that wber.
the legislature of Connecticut passes and
APPROVES bill and 1t finaiIy becomes a
stale law, providing it does not conhic
with national law, that We as law ahid-
ing citizens should abide acc, rdiug'y
Heac the talk about daylight saving, Wn%
Il fairly makes me disgIsted Breakl7
state law and no doubt about it. AND
then the talk about prohibition laws Il }

when driving your machine you are ar

streets or curves or for not having you

vantage of the law by going a little bet
ter than 80 per. From a person VIII

cles SO that the rupture is held more
securely.

which is worth much to those who suf-
fer. Moone's Emerald Oil is the remedy

BROWNING NOW
UNDER ARREST

Greensboro, Aug 24.--J. H. Blown.
ing of this city, claimant of one of
the largest shares of the alleged
$1bO,0OO,0OO estate Of Thomas
Browning, was arrested by South
Carolina officers here yesterday un.
der a fugitive from justice warrant
Browning is wanted in Pelzer, where
ne is charged with having disposed
OF mortgaged property.
His apprehension came as the re-
suit of the publicity he has receive
since it became known that he ex-
poets to receive approximately $13,-
100000 from the estate of his uncle,
thomas Browning, supposed Texas
oil magnate. A warrant for Brown
ing's arrest has been standing at Pei
ger for some time, officers state, but
the authorities had previously been
unable to determine his whereabouts.
Arriving yesterday afternoon the
South Carolina officers went imme-
diately to the sheriff's office here,
where they secured the fugitive from
justice warrant and, accompanied by
}. 5. Phipps, deputy sheriff, proceed
ed to Browning's home at White Ook
where the arrest was made.
Bond of 500 to insure appearance
at an early term of superior court in
Pelzer was quickly furnished by the
prospective millionan e's friends. The
officers at first insisted that the bond
be made larger, but later agreed to
the 500 bond. Browning's character
at the mill where he is employed as
i cloth carrier is considered good.

SENATE NEGLECTS
SOLDIERS BONUS

Washington, Aug. 24.-The sol
diers' bonus bill received but little

wood of Alabama, the Democratic
leader, voiced his opposition to the
measure, with Senator Hefin, Demo
crat, Of the same STATE, vigorously
urging it's passage.
Senator Underwood declared the
measure was not an adjusted COM
pensation bill; that it had been prop
erly named by the public-a bonus
bill.
"You can not measure service IL
country in dollars" declared the min
ority leader. IF you are to meas

an absurd proposition. The payment

great debt a generous people must
always owe to the gallant men who
carried the flag in time of war;"
Senator Underwood argued that il
bonus was to be voted, congress
should provide the funds through
.axation on this generation and not
oostpone payment of the billions tc
time when the veterans themselve:
would be called upon to bear mos,
of the burdens. He said the mer
who got money through the wal
should help to pay the bonus if one
was TO be given.
Sounding a warning against pilln9
up a huge debt against the future
Senator Underwood declared that
should an emergency arise during
that time this debt might prove :
handicap as modern wars were de
.ided not alone by man power and in
dustrial capacity of a country, but By
financial resources.
Senator Heflin, supporting the bill
declared that those opposing the bo
nus had not made peep wher
congress was voting millions in the
settlement of claims of war contract
ors. He charged that "war prof
teers" were fighting the bill "to th'
death" and that the interests" wer
filing the newspapers viii the great
est propaganda against the measure
that had been attempted since wa
days.
Asserting that hundreds Of thou
sands of former service men wer
without jobs, Senator Hefiin declared
that there could be no atlk abou
"cheapening" mans patriotism
when hunger demanded that he "ge
something to eat and place t.
