conservatvely he visited the sales offices of the
new "burglar-proof safes in the guise of country
banker who wanted that would let him go to
bed without worrying.
The statesmen, eager to sell their goods, showed
him all the latest improvements He proved to be
tough customer whose questions sometimes were
hard to answer but finally he purchased one of
their latest models from each of the three leading
makers. These found their way to a secret labora-
tory and workshop which he had already prepared.
There he took them apart, studied their anatomy
and learned how TO operate on them.
There also he made good on his ambition to
be an inventor turning out improved drills of
tempered steel tipped with cutting diamonds He
made jimmies ranging in size from scalpels to
bars. He a wizard with hammer and chisel,

When the safe makers complicated their locks
so that they proof against burglars crude

own His fingers were already sensitive to the feel
of a combination knob on safe. Then he sand
papered his fngertps until the flesh and
the nerves were still more responsive to the most
delicate impact Now when he turned the combina-
ton knob he knew the instant the most smoothly
functioning tumbler slid into place
When the news of this got about many re-
fused to believe it. But safe after another

what was fast becoming a legend in crime. Paul

But let nobody waste tears on Max who in

He reformed twice-but for strictly practical
reasons unhampered by sentiment or conscience.
The safe makers had their laboratories and
inventive ingenuity too. They pitted American in
ventiveness against this elusive German genius

1t the beginning of a famous chase, great
detective after a great bank burglar, chase in
which l took part after Allan Pinkertons death.
Somehow Shinbuu almost always sensed when
Pinkerton was near. Several times he did not get
away in time and Pnkerton clapped him behind
bars, but not for long.
One would think that when Shnburn slipped
out of the detectives fingers in Boston he would
be satisfied to remain inactive for time. Instead
he launched on a series of robberies that appalled,
the country.

tween safe makers and safe breakers
Just when Max Shinburn had about achieved
his mion-doar ambition, the Lilly Company went
out Of business.
The general ruin and suffering caused by his
robberies brought Shinburn twinges of con-
science, although he sincerely regretted the folding
up Of the Lilly Company because other concerns
took their place with different and more modern
designs The great specialists knowledge was
becoming obsolete.
Like ambitious young surgeon, it was time
to bring himself up to date with some post gradu-
ate courses But he knew better than to work
a mechanic in the factories of the new concerns
But Max had plenty of money now and solved
the problem by founding his own private college,
in which he was the only student and the only

Max couldn't, or at least did not invent better
drills, but he devised instead brand-new method
introducing nitroglycerine into the safe and blow
ing the door out. Once more he had made history
and the safe manufacturers were as stunned as
if they had been present that first explosion

enjoy high life in general and be "divvle with
the women at which he also specialized.
High in spirits and almost a millionaire, Shin
burn went to Saratoga Springs for the social and
racing season. His erect figure was dressed in the
best that New York and Boston tailors could turn
out. Wearing a mustache and pat of beard Just
under his lip so that deep dimple still showed in
his square, strong chin he looked the ladies' over
in casinos, bathrooms and on the race track.
Among the women who found his blue eyes on
them pleasant and responded with smiles were
stars of the musical comedy stage Under the
name of Mark Shindle, Shinburn became the leader
of gay gang of jewelers. mainly actresses and
bankers, hand-pcked by him with an eye to COM
bining pleasure with his kind of business
While he was thus playing, Allan Pinkerton
was on the trail of some negotiable bonds taken
N the Walpole bank robbery. The trail led him
to Saratoga.
Shinburn host one night to a supper party
of twenty when he saw four men in formal dress
enter the restaurant, and stroll toward his table.
In my opinion one reason why crime does not
pay, matter what the profits may be, is the
fact that a criminal never really relax except
in the one place he does not wish to-prison.
Shnburn's behavior now was an example of that
ever-present tension and alertness of nerves.
The four were Pinkerton men, so faultess in
dress and manner that not a soul in that throng
suspected they were anything but four more

 New York, April 1. - CuP) - Early this morning, Q tall, elderly and somewhat emaclated Negro named Harry Wills tremendously slipped Q glass of grape juice, there- by officially ending his Slday fast,
 The former "Black Panther" of the ring absorbed considerable pun. ishment during his l7 years as Q professional fighter. He suffered untold disappointment because he never could entlce Jack Dempsey into the squared circle. And he hungered through S2 previous an. nual fastS.
 But the ie4S evasion of edibles was tops aS an ordeal he says, be. cause throughout this fasting period the entire nation was talking of food-ration cards, frozen fodder, meat shortages etc.
 Tt was bad enough to go Si days without poak chops" the big Negro explains, without havin' people talkin' forever about where they're goin to get poak chops"
 Food Dreams
 wills, who at 6l owns two upper Harlem apartment houses and who Is affluent enough to satisfy his penchant for pork and chicken, was assailed even in his dreams by delectable hog ribs and fried fowl. Although he awoke each morn grinding his worries, he heroically resisted the call of the larger in the cause of health.
 Normally packing 262 pounds on Q Six-foot.two chasis, Wills lasts Q month Q year to keep healthy-to burn the impurities in his system. He started fasting in his first year as professional fighter--back in ioil-and has kept 1t up ever since. When he stepped on the scales last night, he weighed io6, having starved off 66 pounds. He lost eight inches around the waist.
 We talked to the erstwhile "Sene- gambian menace" in Q large and handsomely appointed apartment 0 fone of his buildings at st. Nich- olas Place. Harry, stretched out In an over~stuffed morris chair, said he felt 'puSfectly swell" after his March-long fast. He said he didn't feel weak except when he tried to walk too fast on his daily morning hike of eight miles or when he tried to climb stairs too fast while col. lecting his rents. 40 Hl, he said, the period of enforced starvation had no enervating effect upon him than in his younger days.

Bennett knows the score, at all times, and should be able to bring in some of the New York Club fighters not yet tied up by Uncle Mike Jacobs and his matchmaker, Nat Rogers, the little guy who always looks as if the 1929 stock market crash occurred YES. TERDAY Let's hope that the City Amateur League moguls do not get off on the wrong foot locally, by admitting an out-of- team such as Middlebury to the league. until ALL Waterbury teams desir- ous of entering the loop are giv.. en a chance to present a rostes of players. Then, 1t will be time enough to take care of other teams: and why not? A league of 10 or l2 teams would be more interesting even if TWILIGHT BALL had to be played; as long as the FANS would toss in enough to keep the league in operation for their entertainment.
