GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION FOR PRINCE RUPERT On every hand among the progressive cities are evidences that government by commission is the most satisfactory method yet dis-} covered for lifting civic control out of the mire of party spoils and placing it in the realm of business efficiency. An incorporated city is virtually a joint stock corporation for the transaction of business. It is of rank at least with the million dollar corporations. Sometimes as in the case of Toronto the indi- vidual city has a greater revenue and expenditure than has its over- It is incorporated to supply roads water, light, etc. to the public. Its stock holders being its customers it gives its dividends in cheap and efficient service instead of in cash. The civic | corperation is—or should be—a strictly business concern run in the | economic interest of its shareholders. | The fallacy of the ward system and the council system can be|§ easily realised by imagining that one owned the city as an estate, and having to go away for a term of years desired to leave it in the} hands of administrators. In selecting those administrators no sensible | man would select the indiscriminate and unqualified assortment that composes the average council, Instead he would engage at an adequate | salary three or four competent experts and make each responsible for the efficient carrying on of the work of his special department. | That in.short is the plan known as ‘“‘the commission system.” Had Prince Rupert from the outset been administered on strictly business lines by a commission of three or more experts—an expert | New Diamond and We have just received an assort- ment of Rings, Brooches, Tie Pins, etc., of the very latest design eeeeee R.

Scotiand Yard differs on many sub jects amongst itself, but it is agreed upon one point, and that is that the most dangerous, slippery, and remark able “crook” it ever had deal wit was George Ferdinand Springmulb von Weissenfeld They nicknamed him millionaire, partly beca ‘a considerable proportion of the money he acquired by a life of crime to fur thering the Anarchist cause, also because many of his chosen associates, the Anarchist Sauntall ise he f both men and women, were revolu tionary Anarchists of a pronounced type. He came of a good family, and was exceedingly well educated, having graduated with high honors in science, medicine, and literature at one of the principal German universities But he was a born criminal, and a dan gerous one; a throw-back to the abori- ginal savage. A little matter of forgery and at- tempted murder made his native land too hot to hold. him, and he fled to England. This was in 1880, and it did not take him long to blossom forth Into a professional blackmailer and ewindler of a peculiarly odious ty He’d Never Be Taken Alive Once he found himself in the clutch- es cf the law, and received a well merited sentence at the Old Bailey of twelve months’ {imprisonment with hard labor. His temper was not im- proved by this one taste of oakum picking, and he vowed that he wouid never do another “stretc! (year's imprisonment), no matter what came. After this he always Went armed His specialty about this time was bogus company promoting, and he did remarkably well out of it from his pointef view. From one concern alone he netted $300,000. Another yielded him $225,000 in six weeks. He opened f more than one hundred different banking accounts in as many different names, and he kept an album in which he entered his different aliases side by side with his own proper signature. This album is now preserved as a cur | josity at Scotland Yard. As has been intimated, he swore that he would never be taken alive, and although as a result of his colos- sal frauds half the detectives in Eu- rope were presently searching for him, it looked as if he would beat them all. His cunning was almost super human, and he took no chances. He employed a small army of private de- tectives to shadow the Scotland Yard detectives who were trying to shadow him. He rented a fine house—in an assumed name, of course—near Wem- bley Park, and spent thousands of! pounds in constructing subterranean | passages leading to secret exits; through which he could escape, if need be, when hard pressed. | Scotland Yard heard of the exis- | tence of this den, and raided it, but the bird had flown. Next he was heafd of at another place near London, where ue was engaged in printing and issuing vast numbers of books of a}! kind about which the less said the| hetter. Secret Chambers and Dark Tunnels This house also was raided, but once more the wanted man had disappeared. The detectives found, however, evi dence of his many-sided enterprises in the shape of six of the newest and most expensive kinds of linotype ma chines, together with many thousands of objectionable books, all ewly printed. These were destroyed on a The search for the master criminal was continued, and at last he was large mansion in Cam- known as “Edenfield.” This house, which stood in its own grounds, had been chosen for its s clusion, like the one at Wembley Park, and, like it it had been fitted with an elaborate system of sliding panels, secret chambers, and subterranean passages. All this was known to the Yard, and it was known, too, that an armed and bridgeshire, 100 desperate man lurked within. Conse- quently, it was determined to send three of the best men available to enter the house and effect the actual arrest, while other plain-clothes offi- cers were detailed to watch the vari- ous exits in the grounds outside. The officers told off for the danger ous part of the job were Chief-Inspec- tor Arrow (afterwards appointed Chief of the Barcelona Police), Detec- tive-Inspector Sweeny, and Sergeant- Inspector (afterwards Inspector) Bad- cock, These were experienced men, and they laid their plans well. One went up to the door, disguised as a trades man's assistant, and knocked. The other two were in hiding in the shrub- bery near by. At the knock the door was opened ever so little, and before it could be slosed again the three detectives were inside. Instantly a shrill whistle was sounded from within, and when the house was searched the Anarchist millionaire was apparently nowhere within it. There were plenty of servants about, of both sexes, but they one and all pro- fessed to know nothing. The detec- tives searched high and low for nearly two hours, but their search was in vain. Yet that the wanted man was somewhere within the building was certain, Every exit was being watch ed by their colleagues outside, and these had made no sign. Bearding the Lion in His Den At length, just the verge of despair, a secret was discovered, and this, on when they were on panel being | forced open, revealed a passage just | ands : 3 5 ge J | @ ake notice that Austin M. Brown of Prince broad enough to admit one man, It was pitch dark within, but out of the darkness came the sound of suppress- ed breathing. Here, then, was their quarry. which one of the three detectives was going to risk almost certain death by bearding him in his den now he was at bay? The question in reality admitted but of one answer, It is an unwritten law of Scotland Yard that the post of dan- ger shall be given to the junior, for that way lies promotion, and prone. tion is, of course, the most ardently to be desired thing amongst all branches of the Police service. 80 to Sergeant-Inspector Badcock was assigned the duty of entering the secret passage so luckily discovered, and dragging thence into the light of day the worse lurked within, | West Coast of Graham Island: But | Quietly, without the least trace of bravado, he accepted the mission, Stepping from the room into the cavernlike passage—being a tall man he was compelled to adopt a stooping wature-—he called to the wanted man, telling him that he was a police offi oer, that the game was up, and that he had better surrender himself quietly. The Fight for Life No verbal answer was returned, but out of the darkness came the sharp click of a revolver being cocked. Bad- cock felt that life or death was a mat ter of moments only, and bounded swiftly forward, still keeping bent nearly double, both because the height of the passage did not admit of a per- fectly erect posture being maintained, and a because by 80 doing he stood a better chance of not being shot if his assailant aimed high, as men fir ing when greatly excited usually do The passage ended in a decor, and Badcock could hear his man fumbling at the handle inside. But he could not get out that way, for it had been locked from the outside by Inspector Arrow’'s orders prior to the raid Realizing this, the hunted man faced about, pointed his revolver at his pur- suer, and tried to pull the trigger. But Badeock gripped his wrist with fingers of steel, and the weapon drop- ped with a clang on the stone floor It was a pitiful figure of a man that was dragged out into the light of day a few seconds tater. His face was livid, his features were working con- vulsively. “Water!” he gasped. “Give me wa- ter!’ A servant ran and fetched some, but the glass slipped from his nerveless fingers, his jaw dropped, and a mo- ment later he fell dying to the ground. | A coroner's jury said it was apop- lexy. But was it? The Anarchist millionaire, who was also, it must be remembered, a doctor, and a skilful chemist, had long had in his possession a gold signet ring in which wags hidden a powerful poison. When he was arrested this ring was on his hand, but the secret receptacle behind the seal which had contained the poison was empty. Anyway, he was dead, and the world was well rid of him. Had he stood his trial, there would have been revealed the most remark- able criminal romance of modern times. COAL NOTICE District of Queen Charlotte Islands Take notice that Austin M.
