lock washer under the head is used
to hold the joint to the base at A.
A plain washer is placed between the
wood and the angle piece to make it

a pig-tail lead is made over to one

hairpin shaped as shown and an angle
piece is soldered on one side. A
wood screw is used to fasten it solidly
to the base. This holder is connected

Those who enjoy bathing at Bailey's

Novel Detector Can Be
Built for Small Sum

A new detector stand. The control
is universal and when once adjusted
will stand quite jar. The principal
feature Of this detector Is the small
sum for which it can be made. The
pencil, which is of the ever-sharp type,
can be purchased for 10 cents and the
rest of the parts are found in nearly
every amateurs junk box.
The lead from the pencil is removed
and a cat whisker is soldered to the
bar that rups through the center. II
the type of pencil you purchase has
no bar through the center, but just a
clutch, use a piece of>copper wire the
size Of the lead that is used in the
pencil and solder the cat whisker to it.
Next a one-half-inch ball-bearing Is
soldered about one and three-quarter
inches from the blunt end of the pen
ell; this can be done very neatly by
heating the ball with gas flame and
putting drop of solder on it. A little
fiux is put on the pencil where 1t is to
unite with the ball, and the pencil Is
applied to the ball while the solder is
still soft. You will then have good
joint. Next make two little angles of
sheet brass, through which drill hole
three quarters of an inch and two holes
one-eighth of an inch. The former hole
is to form a socket for the ball, which
sets between these two angles of brass
when mounted on the base.

Another strip of spring brass is placed
on the second bottom to make con-

ond plates; therefore, when it becomes
necessary to get into the set the front
screws are removed and the whole
inside part slides out. When it is put
back the brass contacts close the three

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, September
2S.-The jury in the case of Walter

Clarence Peters, retired to consider
it's verdict shortly after 1890 today.
Before the jury retired the oppos-
ing attorneys engaged in a spec
tacular verbal tilt with Justice
Wagner, to whose charge to the jury
they took exception.
Allan r. Campbell of the defense
staff took exception to the entire
charging of the court, characterizing
it as entirely unfair to the defendant.
Mr.. Campbell asserted that the
court in citing the law and the evil
dence had brought out points favor
able to the prosecution and had not
drawn out parallel points that would
have been equally favorable to the
defense
Justice Wagner replied that if he
had favored the state he had not done
so purposely.
When Justice Wagner finished his
charge he had met about half Il dozen
OF the sixty-three specific requests
for special charges that the defense
had made, and about half of the ten re-
quests of the prosecution. AS soon
as he finished Mr.. Campbell arose and
asserted the court had favored the
prosecution throughout, both in read

cause next Friday why they should
not be enjoined from interfering with
the conduct of auction sales at 40t

He is charged with operating an

HAYNES PROBING
CHARGES OF POLICE
Full Inquiry involving Three
Dry Agents Before Any
Action Is Taken.

Charges OF irregularity made by the
District Commissioners against three
prohibition agents of this city are
being investigated by specially ap-
pointed body from the prohibition
unit. it was announced today by r. A.
Haynes. prohibition commissioner.
Breaking his policy of silence re-
garding the reported charges, Com
missioner Haynes today issued the
following statement to newspaper
men:
II, have instituted a searching in
quiry into the matter, and upon the
report of those to whom the inquiry
has been committed win depend the
action to be taken"
The statement was prefaced by ref
erence "to the complaint made a few
days ago by the District Commits
sioners against three prohibition
agents operating in the District"
4 Promises Full Statement.
Commissioner Haynes forestalled
inquiries by stating that the pre-
pared statement contained all that
he wished to say. He denied. in re-
sponse to a question. that a visit to
the White House yesterday was in
any way connected with the local
situation.
He added after formally reading
out the statement to the newspaper
men that as soon as the investigators
had made a report on the charges
submitted to him by the District
idS ha
public full and definite statement
as to the result
He withheld the names of the in
vestigators.
E. c. Yellowly. in charge of gen.
eral prohibition agents. under whose
leadership the accused local agents
come. said today that there had been
no SUSPENSIONS in the local force and
that he had heard nothing regarding
the reported charges.
Mr.. Yellowly and Commissioner
Haynes had a prolonged conference
this morning. Corridor gossip at the
Yellowly with the investigating
force. The rumor is that he is head
ing the probe committee.
Vice Squad Charges.
The charges originated from the
vice squad. Lieut. o. T. Davis some
time ago took action against two
agents whom he claimed were en-
gagged in irregular practice by pre-
senting information relative to al
legged bribery. The result of this was
an inquiry and subsequent action
against the agents.
That. there has been friction be-
tween revenue agents and the leader
of the vice squad Is well known to
those intimately acquainted with op-
erations of the police group prom
inent In raid making. AS a matter
of fact, in some of the raids-and this
is based upon f1rst-hand information
-.-the location of the places to be
raided was shielded from the agents
to accompany the police raiders be-
cause of the chance that a leak"
might develop.
Recently there has been quite a let
up on wholesale raiding by the vice
squad The number of raids within
the last few weeks has dwindled con-
siderably from those of earlier days.
The reason is not given.
