BOSTON, December 26.—The special grand jury called by Attorney Gen- eral Allen to consider cases arising out of the removal proceedings against former District Attorney Joseph C. Pelletier. the disbarment of Daniel H. Coakley and actions In- volving certain officers of closed banks was sworn in today. Members of the jury were advised by Judge Fogdick to turn over N communications they might receive the attorney general. The court said the jurors wWould “undoubtedly be approached by outsiders.” The sitting several months ago of a special grand jury summoned by the Attorney General was abruptly ded. The jury was discharged be- use of tampering through communi- | cations sent i behalf of officials of |the Hanover Trust Company, now { closed, and the bank officials involved were held to be in contempt of court. | Matters of great importance would bo presented, the court said—“impor- tant not only to this community and the commonwealth. but also impor- tant to the world.” Pelletier was removed and subse- quently disbarred after the present tion of evidence on charges of black- | mall ~ and _extortion. He now is i bound for Germany. Daniel H. Coak- jley. as an attorney, was connected { with most of the cases clted against Pelletier and was disbarred on vir- {tnally the same evidence. SOCIAL CHAT A STRAIN. | More Harmful to Mind and Nerves | Than Serious Talk. j From the New York World. “There is greater nerve strain in keeping up conversation of smail talk than in discussing a serious topic,” asserts Dr. Agnes Savill of London. She is among the foremost of British woman, physicians and is famous for her works on el@otro-therapeutics: In a lecture at the Institute of Hy- giene on “The Dangers of Soclety to Health,” she added: “Society girls have their brains anft mental equipmeént adjusted to this level of Scrappy exclamations early in 1ife and it spoils their subsequent development and their capacity to reach a better stage of intellectual | growth, i “Soclety life encourages the perni- cious habit of the too frequent ciga- rette. It encourages girls to take cocktails and whisky-and-sodas. “The hectic life of continual excit- ment, the absence of all repose, all time for meditation, the perpetual change, the cigarette smoking, irreg- ular and unhealthy meals—no won- der theses girls become the prey of disease.” —_— No Canaries in Canaries.

SHONELESSEAGIE DECLARED INENTED Would Burn No Coal and Is Said | to Look Like Baggage Car. BY GEORGE WITTE. (By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. (opyright, 1922, BERLIN, December 26.—The prob- lem of smokeless railroad traffic, which has been troubling large citles all over the world, may have been solved by the invention of a new locomotive by Prof. Lomonosov of the Russian railroad commission here and Prof. Meinecke of the Charlottenburg Technical High School. The new en- gine will have no smokestack, and { will look more like an ordinary bag- gage car than a locomotive. Prof. Lomonosov savs his invention roads in the Sahara desert and other | vast stretches where there is mno ! water. “It took me sixteen vears to com- ! plete this invention.” Prof. Lomono- sov said today. “Just before the war began the czarist government placed at my disposal a large fund to enable me to make the necessary experi- ments, but these were interfered with by the great conflict. Henry Ford. in the United States, and others in Eng- land are trying to build a new motor for use in countries short of coal or water, but, so far as I know, they have not succeeded. Prof. Meineke and T have finally solved this problem and already two Diesel engines are belng built according to our deslgn. | They will be finished and tried out early next vear, and the first new locomotive wilk be used on the Ger- man and Russian railroads about next August.” The contract for the exploijation lof this invention was signed Dccem- ber 14 by the Russian government and four steel companies. MAKING OF DETECTIVES. Horse Sense Better Than Deduction, Says Sir Basil Thomson. From the Philadelphia Ledger. Horse sense, and not scientifictrain- ing, makes great detectives. No less an suthority than Sir Basil Thomson sald so recently n an in- terview. The chances are that Bir Basil knows wnat he 15 talking about. For eight years he was chief of the bureau of investigatior of Scotland !Yard. London. the alma mater of {many of the great criminologists of {the world. Then for three years fol- lowing the armistice Sir Basil was chief of the British secret service. “l_know a® many crooks as any {one” conceded Sir Basil. “For the last twenty-five vears 1 have kept pretty bad company.” Stage detectives would do well to learn a few things from Sir Basil. He is middle-aged and looks like & banker. His voice is gentle, his man- ner courtly. He is a student of crime, this man, whose father was Arch- bishop of York. His writings range from fiction to travel lore and an- thropologlcal subjects. “Intelligence, hard work and good organization, not all sorts of scien- tific aids, are the three efsentials necessary in solving crime,” the for- mer Scotland Yard chief said, “Give me a jack-of-all-trades weith, plenty of horse sense and I will turn out a first-rate detective” Sir Basil continued. “I have no patience with the ‘deduction’ methods of Sherlock Holmes. They are no good. His head was filled with useless facts. Why should any one carry around such trashy knowledge as how many steps it was from one room to another, ag the great Sherlock did, and impressed Dr. Watson'with his saga. 3 “Why should a detective know all sorts of things upon which a crime | might hinge? You can go around the corner and get any sort of expert on any question—a lapidarist for crimes in which jewels figure, skilled chem- ists for acid marks, physicians for blood tests, metallurgists for coun- terfelting cases. “The solution of crime lles in sheer hard work.” ‘When asked to give his opinion on the methods employed in this country in_the solution of crime, Sir Basil d he had made only some supér. ficial observations in New York. He Idlflod that he was “not here to crit- jcize.” “There seems also to be in this country a tendency #o forget crimes. Your newspapers play up crimes. For a while the public interest is intense. Then, if the public feels that the po- Hce have fallen down on thelr jobs, they turn to some new sensation and forget the crime that once held their interest. In England we never let a crime dle. After its discovery it is jreported each day to the authorities unti] it is solved. “And the reports are written in red ink. There is little chance of them forgetting - the unsolved crime when they see that red ipk each day.” There are more than 60,000, girl S g e am = | g gas is belleved to have been the cause of pread fum-. which rendered lieved within a few days by %v“'"" years uhh‘n’um while Mr. Colins at Emergency Hospital. a serious condition, and 1t is expect they will recover.
