JEWEL THIEVES NOT
LIKE THEY USEDTO
BE, SLEUTH SAYS
Veteran New York Detective
Tells of Experiences
With Old Experts.


on one of the coolest December
mornings of 1911 and Edward T. v.
Fitzgerald. detective of New York
police, buttoned his coat tightly and
bowed his head in the teeth of a
cold wind that swept up Riverside
drive
Something told Fitzgerald to look
up and he did. There, clinging to
the bare wall of an apartment house,
at the third floor level, was the
shadowy form of man. With the
wind carrying all movable objects
before it, it would have been diff
cult to hold onto iadder-let alone
bare bricks.
Fitzgerald unbuttoned his coat and
drew out his service revolver.
Come down." he ordered. Come
down or I'll shoot you down"
Would Shame a Monkey.
The man descended rapidly, his
bare feet and hands grasping inden-
lures in the wall with an agility that
would have shamed monkey.
Without word he began to put on
his shoes.
II still can't believe it," Fitzger-
aid said.
Glad to run up and show you
how it's done. boss" the man said,
starting to take his shoes off again.
Lets run up to the station house
first, )" Fitzgerald suggested.
The prisoner was colored, Julius
Johnson, better known as "Satchel-
feet" In his rooms police found loot
OF all sorts, cheap trinkets and ex-
pensive jewels.
Among the jewels Fitzgerald re-
covered that time was a finely
wrought platinum watch. It was re-
turned to its owner, the present
Mrs. Margaret Hawkesworth Bell
Content.
Soon after that Fitzgerald forgot
about Satchelfeet and about the
watch. The years brought him new
adventures with the underworld. He
was assigned to and solved some of
the biggest jewel robberies in the
country.
Then, in 1884. Mrs. Bell was
robbed of Sl85 900 in jewels. A door
man described the robbers and one
description sounded to Fitzgerald
like that of Charles Cali of New
York. The detectives search for
Cali ended when Cali was hauled
into court for an undignified theft
stealing two bicycles.
Find Platinum Watch.
In Calls apartment, buried in the
toe of riding boot. Fitzgerald found
a finely wrought platinum watch
The sight of that watch spun his
memory back TO the cold night on
Riverside drive
The rest of it came out after Fitz-
gerald and his aids tailed Calls
friends and other suspects for a few
weeks. The jewels. stored in
dime-a-day public locker. were re-
covered; Cali and Nick Montone
were given a half century each in
prison.
After q years with the force, Spe-
cializing II solving big robberies,
what doe Fitzgerald think of the
present store l.c,iag technique?
Fashions Tn J"w i robbery have
changed, he says. "A fine old art
has fallen into the hands of buns"
New police methods, he says, have
driven the old masters out of bust
ness or behind bars.
1T isn't like the old days when
thieves used to study prospective
stickup for weeks ahead of time
Some of the old ones would special
ize only in one type of jewel rob-
berry. They were unwilling to trust
themselves to new situations.
Now we have buns and punks,"
said Fitzgerald. And l can't feel
sorry at all. It's easier to get them"

FAIR AMONG
FIRST COUNTY
INSTITUTIONS
STREET FAIRS ONCE
HELD HERE; PRESENT
PLANT FIRST RATE

The county fair has been a
Redwood county institution since
1873.
Back when Redwood Falls had
but a dozen or two log cabins
and when Indians were nearly
as plentiful in southwestern
Minnesota as whites, the nucleus
of what is now one of the three
or four best fairs in the state
was formed.
1t was all of five years before
the first railroad crossed the
prairies to Redwood Falls that
the first Redwood County Agri-
cultural society was organized.
Transportation was a big prob
lem then and the number of
families in the county was small
to support large undertaking
but the idea was admittedly
good and lived through several
lean years.
The original Redwood County
Agricultural society was organ
lied in 1873 and held its first
fair that fail on a tract, of land
on the west side of the Redwood
river, not far from where the
cid road crossed that river at
Redwood Falls. The first officers
were president, j. S. G. Homer;
lice president, H. D. Baldwin;
treasurer, E. A. Chandler; re-
cording secretary, G. w. Braley;
corresponding secretary, William
s. Herriott.
In 1882 the society was reor-
ganized and incorporated and a
tract of 40 acres was purchased,
this being the present site of the
fair grounds.
A fair was held every year.
The discouragements were many,
but the promoters persevered.
The association, as incorporated
in 1882, was to run 20 years. AT
the close of this period, the Of
ficers for many years having
been Joseph Tyson, president; O..
L. Dornberg, secretary and G. E.
Mckay, treasurer, the business
of the association was closed.
For several years street fairs
were held at Redwood Falls.
Then an agricultural society
was incorporated August 81,
1905, by business men. The cap
ital was placed at $4,000 and
divided into shares of SIS each.
December &c. 1912. the articles
were amended, placing the value
of the shares at $40 each.
This association continued to
hold street fairs until 1911, when
the old grounds were purchased
and a section of the grandstand
was started.
The officers of the fair board
for 1889 are: president, Parker
d. Sanders; vice president, A. p.
Rams; secretary, w. A. Hauck
and treasurer, A. F. Hassenstab.

Americas Card Authority

The main reason for the inven-
ton and continued life OF the
club bid in contract lies In the ma
ture Of the bid itself. The bid, which
denotes minimum high card hold
ing Of 31s quick tricks. Immediately
gives the partner of the opening bid
der a definite picture OF what that
player deems possible or desirable on
the hand, without giving TO the OPP
ponents any information which
prove of value to them In defense.
It's advantages may thus be brief
ly summarized:
1t protects all big hands, with
out possibility OF drifting into penal
ties or giving opponents valuable In
formation,
1t enables users to take whatever
action they please with ordinary
hands TO make II hard for OPP
ponents, without giving partner diff
ficult guesses.
IT relieves the partnership OF an
often vicious sequence Of one-round
forces and equivocal strong invita-
tons to continue, as well as fire.
quent (often irksome) application OF
the principle Of anticipation: also
the ambiguity Of the free bid"
It's numerous conventional mega
tive differences often indicate the
proper action to be taken auto
matically.
In sum and substance II relieves
partners OF unnecessary guesses, d.
recting them aggressively against
opponents.
In the other bidding systems most
currently In use the opening bid OF
one In o suit Is extremely vague
Such bids include out-and-out
psychics or very weak strategic bids
up to hands which will surely take
nine tricks In play, as some expert
users Of these systems will not open
with g fcrcing bid Of two unless
their own hand will account for 10
tricks at q major suit declaration.
This feature OF rival systems Of
ten puts partner under severe
strain. In some cases, perhaps mis-
takeniy. he keeps the bidding open
on faith alone, spurred thereto by
the oft-heard admonition, "never
pass my opening bid" AS a con-
sequence OF this vagueness OF the
opening bid, the partnership Is apt
to drift into needless penalties when
the responding hand Is trickless and
the opening hand has chosen that
moment to make psychic or
strategic opening.
