BY PERSONS UNKNOWN A True Detective Story—Copyrighted. “It is absolutely essential” sald tHe secretary of treasury, glancing across his desk at the sMort, ruddy-complexioned, rather stout man Who sat opposite him, “that the persons responsiblé for these Iynchings at Versailles be arrested, tried and convicted. I don't think it is over-1 stating the matter to say that this case | is more important than any counterfeit- ing piot or smuggling scheme which the department has ever worked on, for the governor of Indiama Has applied to the federal government for: troops to handle the uprising which threatens to sweep over that part of the cotintry, and the en- tire state is taking sies in the matter. “Naturafly, we do not wish to send troops to Versallles unless % is absolute- Iy necessary. It would only lead to addi- tional bloodshed and disorder. What we need is someone who has the nerve to g0 out there, investigate the case from every possible angle and make a report as to! the persons responsible for the lynchin® That's why 1 eent for you.” The man on the other side of the desk smiled and tapped thoughtfully with the | forefinger of a hand which indicated strength and determination of character. “Of course” continued the secretary, “I must warn you that the case is one that is apt to prove dangerous. More 5o, in fact, than anything you have ever at- tempted. Compared to jt, the roundup of a gang of moonshiners is child's play— for here you will have to work entirely in the dark, one man against practically an entire state. A single slip would mean your death, and would force the govern- ment to take steps which might lead to protracted bloodshed.” “In which case,” replied the other, “% would be well for me to get out to Ver- sailles as soon as I can. The longer we wait the less chance there is of success. Don't miake any attempt to hear from me or to locate me for at least a month. If at the end of that time you havem't Teceived some kind of a report, you will know that they've got me. But, some- | how, I've got a hunch that they won't.” Tt was two days later than the train which stopped at Versallles, Ind., halted just long enough to permit a single pas- | senger to alight—a man who was short | and rather plump and with a ruddy com- | plexion, & man who registered at the| local hatel as “James M. Beck” and who allowed it to become known that he was an insurance agent, representing one of the best known companies in the country. But Versafies, as Beck soon discover- ed, was a poor fieM for life insurance at that trme, There was only one topic of conversation in which the natives were interested: the Iynching of the five pris- oners who had been: taken from jail and murdered by an infuriated mob. This, soupled with open threats of deflance against the governor's edict that the guilty men must be punished, kept the town in a continuai state of simmering, seething unrest—pundtuated by frequent | statements that any state or government official who tried o find out the names of the men implicated fn the lynching would be shot on stght. Beok, apparently, wasnt' in the least interested in the local turmoil He had been sent to VersaTles to sell insurance, and he was determined to sell it, no mat- ter how many peoplo he had to Inter- view. The fact that he was a stranger led, of course, to immediate suspicion of his motives, and some two Weeks passed before he was able to allay this. About the end of the third week mat- ters were brought to @ head by reason of a wife which Beck sent to New York, a despatch which was in code and which caused the operator to spread the report that the “life insurance agent” was a de- tective in disgulse. Getting wind of this, and realizing that he must take some radical step to offset suspicion, Beck ap- proached the man Who appeared to be the leader of the troubls faction. The agent explained to him that he was get- ting tired of the quarters at the hotel and wondered if ¥ would be possible to secure lodgings in some private house where he would be a little more com- fortable. “Certainly,” #aid the native. “I.refkon we can put you up all right” And he smiled at the thought of this man whom he suspected placing himself entirely in his power. That, however. was precisely what Beck wished, and it only took a couple of days of clever acting to con- vince the local leader that he was only what he appeared to be—a slow, plodding and conscientious insurance agent. It was in the house of the most dangerous citizen of Versaflles, under the very eyes of his associates, that the stranger se- cured the information he wanted and put i together, piece by piece, until he had the entire story. It was precisely 2 month to the day after the conversation in the office of the secretary of the treasury when that offi- clal received a wire from Chicago stat- ing that “all facts about Versailles Iynching now in hand. Complete list of men implicated follows by mail” The name signed to the wire was “Willilam J. Burns, chief of the United States secret service.” FAMOUS MEN. SBAMUEL JOHNSON. Samuel Johnson, the famous Fnglish lexicographer and author, and the man who caused Boswell to Write the most interesting blography in the English language, was past seventy years of age when he finished his dictionary and wrote his “Lives of the Poets.” Born in 1708, as a child he was re- markably precocious, and it is said that before he was three years old he in- sisted upon going to church to hear Sacheverell preach. His father was foolishly proud of him and is sald to have passed off an epitaph on “Good Master Duck,” really written by him- self, as Samuyel's composition at the age of three. Johnson was thirty-elght years of age when he first issued his plans for the dictionary, and upon this work he was more or less steadily engaged for the next thirty years. His labors during the preparation of the dictionary must have been enormous, for during a eonsiderable part of the time he was also publishing the “Rambler,” That he was a rapid worker is shown in the fact that to pay the expenses of his mother's funeral he wrote “Ras- selas” in the evenings of one week, for which he received $500 for the copy- rignt. Johnson was sixty-eight years of age when he began his work on the most permantly valuable of all his books, his “Lives of the English Poets” On May 22, 1777, he agreed with the booksell- ers to write prefaces for a proposed ool lection of the English poets. They fudi- clously asked him to namé his .price. They paid him three times as much as he requested. The poets were selected by the book- sellers, though Blackmore, Watts, Pom- fret and Yalden were added on John- son’s advice. The first four volumes ap- peared im 1779, when Johnson was seventy years of age, and the last six m 1781 All through his 1ife Johnson was char- itably inclined, and especially & in his later years. The money he had accum- ulated and the pensions he received most- Iy went to charity. He proposed to al- low himself, for his own support, only $500 & year, but # was never discovered that he spent more than two-thirds of this amount. When Johnson Wwould go forth he would fill his pockets with small cash, which he distributed to beggars in de- flance of political economy. When he was told that the recipients only laid it out upon gin or tobacco, he replied that it was savage to deny them the few coarse pleasures which the rich disdain- ed. Once, upon coming home late at night, he found a poor Women lying in the street. He carried her to his house on his back and found that she was reduced to the lowest stages of want, poverty and disease. He took care of her until she was entirely restored to health Johnson's house, in his later years, was filled with various waifs and strays, to whom he gave hospitality, and some- times support, defending himself by say- ing that it he did not help them nobody would, Regarding Johnson's at his advanced age, Lord Brougham wrote: “The merit of the work is very great, whether we regard the matter of the style; for the composition is far more easy and natural, far less pompous and stately, and the diction both more plcturesque and more simple, than in any other of his writings. The ‘Lives of the Poets’ are extremely valuable from the knowledge of the life they display and from that acuteness of investigation and vigor of expression which his astonishing powers of intellect threw on every sub-| ject in which he engaged. IN THE PUBLIC EYE || “Lives” written Lady Astor, who sails today to attend the Baltimore convention of the League of Women Voters, has become so widely known as the first woman to sit in the British parliament that the fact that she is en_American born and bred has been almost lost sight of. Her girlhood days were spent down in Old Virginia, where she and her favorite hunters were fa- miliar objects about the countryside near Richmond. - She was one of the five daughters of the late Col. C. D. Lang- horne, who belonged to one of the first families of the Old Dominion. All of the daughters were famous for their beau- ty: Miss Nannie Langhorne, the pres- ent Lady Astor, was the third daughter of the family. In 1897 she was jmar- ried to Robert Gould Shaw, member of a prominent Boston family, whom she divorced in 1903. Three years later she was married in London to Waldort As- tor, oldest son of William Waldorf (lat- er Viscount) Astor. Upon the death of the latter in 1919 the son succeeded to his father's title and the former Nannie Langhorne became Lady Astor. Today’s Birthdays Rt. Rev. Arthur C. A.

Alrships and The Empire—An offer has been made to the zovernment which may have the effect not only .f saving the alrships which were to have been handed over for scrapping today, but of starting an imperial air service on a commercial basis, A new company, which would be prepared to establish a regular bi-week- ly service to India, with extensions to Australia, on the condition of receiving very moderata assistance from tha gov- ernment. This would include the free transfer of existing airships, material, and bases, and a guarantee of £91.000 a year from the home government and £80,000 grom Anstralia and India. In re- turn for this they propose to spend be- tween three and four million pounds on new airships of the Spanish-American pettern, and to start at an early date a regular service to India and a weekly scrvice on to Australia, each ship being cavable of traveling 60 miles an hour and carrying 100 passengers and 8 to 10 tong of mails. Farmers' Milk Priesi —3 deadlock has arisen between the Longaberough, Lei- cestersiire, milk produce:s, and the Unizcd Dairies. At a me of the dis- trict producers with F. W. Gilbert, of ihe United Dairies, to arrange summer prices Mr. Gilbent offered 5 1-2d. a gallon for six months, less a penny for collection After considering the matter in private, the farmers decided to ask for 6d. per gallon net flat rate at the farm for six months. To this suggestion Mr. Gilbert declared himself unable to agree. Salmon and Seals—So far salmon angling on several of the Scottish rivers has been a trifle disappointing. But ths average weight is’ above that experienced during the past few years. At Crathes, near the Balmoral waters, kelts are ap- pearing.

Mr. Editor: In the report of the cham- ber of commerce meeting held last week, I saw that they were again planning to meddle with the milk supply of Norwich. This time it is bottled milk.

It is time that the people of Norwich woke up to what they are trying o put over on us in the name of health. If the chamber of commerce has ever done any- thing which has benefited Norwich I have never heard of it. I hope they won't exist long enough to force us to use bottled milk against our will CONSUMER. Norwich, April 10, 1922, Spraying Frult Trees. Mr. Editor: One of the readers of The Bulletin has asked me to write to you relative to the spraying of fruit trees. To do this subject justice it will be neces. sary to write several letters. This is ths first of the series. It was possible two generations ago to produce good apples without —spraying. There are two chief reasons—first the lessening In the number of insectivorous birds because of so many wandering cats and dogs, and secondly because of im- portation from all parts of the world of numerous sorts of shrubs and trees. With these importations have come all the ills (we trust) that the apple fails heir to. At present it is @ difficult thing for an apple tree to remain alive, to say nothing of its bearing a crop of apples. The enemies of the apple may be di- vided into four groups: 1—Fung! of various varieties. 2—Bark-sucking insects, and lice. 3—The larvae of moths that eat the foliage. 4—The larvae of beetles, moths and fles that eat the immature fruit. It is easy to see that to meet all these bests in battle ome must use weapons suitable to the enemy in question. To meet them all successfully one must spray mnearly every month of the year and at times as frequently as every fortnight. Fortunately there are sprays which are two-fold in their actions and serve to destroy more than one variety of pest. All the fungi must be met by the use of sprays which are disinfective in their nature. Molds, rots and such low forms of plant life are destroyed by certain chemicals which are not necessarily de- structive to higher forms of life, Many of the fungi can be coped with in the dormant season—whence the term | dormant-spraying. This spraying ls done | while the trees are bare of' follage. The ! gain here is that a stronger spray can| be used than could be in case the foliage, were present. These strong winter eprays will also destroy the scale insects which are hibernating under thelr waxy protections. Some of the plant lice, too. are destroyed in the winter egg-stage. It is now rather late for dormant spray- Ing though it does little injury if the buds have mnot opened to the extent of epreading their tender leaves, Two dormant sprays are in general use —iime-sulphur, and the miscible ols. Both these sprays can now be bought ready for use after the proper dffution. It is to be understood though that to get results one must follow carefully the di- rections furnished with these sprays and then spray thoroughly. Partial spray- ing of a tree, or spraying with a low pressure is to a large extent wasted la- bor. Thorough spraying or none is a good rule. One real good winter spraying will de- stroy so large a percentage of those pests wintering on the trees that good fruit is almost assured the following sea- son. The next epraying most needed s fust vrior to the coming of the leaves, just as the buds are swelling. This spraying should be fungicidal and also suitable for plant lice. Nicotine is tha proper medi- oine for plant lice. Killing the Ilittle plant lice as they first appear upon the opening buds is like killing the first house flies as they appear in spring. Killing one is kllling thousands or liter- ally millons. Plant fee do not harm apples every vear, but occasionally they are very nu- merous and not only greatly injufe the newly forming branches but distort 75 per cent. of the crop. Apples injured by the plant louse are edible and often I I (I \ LN I T TN (Lt I LI i it | Il Iidl Ten reasons why this Glenwood Range “Makes Cooking Easy” HE Gold Medal Glenwood actually gives you all the facilities of two complete ranges.
