SHERLOCK HAD NAUGHT ON HIM ■■ ■H« I — 111 — Clever Work of Detectives Solves "Great False Teeth Mystery.” J” ‘WSSJ THIEF GRABS POCKETBOOK I New York Sleuth Find* Jewels in Awning Repairer's Pocket and the Artificial Masticators in an Ash Can. New York.—Clever work on the pari of Detective Sergeants Joseph Leonard and Thomas Appel solved a robbery which might otherwise have remained on the record as the “great false teeth mystery." j James K. Andrews, a banker, discovered that a set of false teeth which he recently installed did not fund for. with the celerity promised by his den tist. Mrs. Andrews started with then to the dentist for adjustment. Mrs. Andrews had the teeth in hei pocketbook along with $75 in bills As she was leaving the apartment th( bell rang. Mrs. Andrews placed th* pocketbook on a nearby couch as e maid opened the door and admittec a stranger, who announced that h< was there to repair an awning. Mrs. Andrews went to an adjoining room, but when she returned the pock etbook with the $75 and the artificial masticators had disappeared. She tel ephoned for the detectives. Telephones for Detectives. They responded with alacrity ano after listening to Mrs. Andrew’s storj of the vanishing of the false teeth resorted to the old Sherlock Holmes system of deduction. Footprints oo the Persian rugs of the Andrew’s apartment revealed that the siwning repairer had found it imperative to change the scene of his operations to another apartment in the house. There they went. Drawing his highly polished nickel w’atch from his vest pocket, Detective Leonard placed it against the awning man’s chest and, in a voice marked for the profundity of Its tone, said—- “ Aha! What have we here?" “Where?” asked the awning man, as surning an air of nonchalance. “There,” replied the astute detect ive, as he shoved his hand in the aWn ing man’s coat pocket and drew fort! a handful of glittering jewelry. The unexpected jewelry deepened the mystery. Oh, Where Ar© the Teeth? “But wherefc the ’’aise teeth?” askec Detective Appel, who believes in fol lowing every trail to the end. “Patience,” replied Leonard, “let th< magistrate find that out.” So the awning man, who later sait he was Charles Langfelder of 69 Wai ton street, Brooklyn, was haled before Magistrate McQuade in the west side court, where he denied all. “Your Honor, we have a clue to the false teeth,” said the detectives ir chorus. “Hold him for a few minutes and we’ll recover them.” They hurried back to the apartment house, where they found the pocket book and the teeth in an ash barrel Langfelder was then held iu $1,50C bail to await the action of the grand jury. The detectives are still trying tc find the owner of the jewelry.

HOPE TO CLEAR SEA MYSTERY Cuban Expedition Will Explore Wreck of Spanish Ship on Which 450 Died. Miami, Fla.—Hope that the mystery surrounding the loss of the Spanish steamer i’albanera with its crew and passengers, totaling 450 persons, may be cleared up soon has been revived by reports that a Cuban expedition will explore the wreck oft Rebecca shoals. The American government, accord’ ing to the report, has been asked sot permission to salvage the valuable cargo of wines and liquors and othei merchandise. No report of the find ing of bodies from the Valbanera has been verified. The theory in Havana is l that the vessel was cut in half when it struck a reef,' explaining why no lifeboats were launched.

SUGAR COMPANY MAKES STATEMENT. Editor Dccutur Democrat: Permit mt' to say a word conet Tiling the .irl'ele appearing in your issue of Oct. 29. which conveys the impression Hutt the dead fish, alleged to have been found in the Si. Mary's river, lately were killed because of pollution of the river water from (he wash water of our factory. The facts are that up to quite recently the river was at a low stage and great quantities of crude oil covered the waler. 11 is on undisputed fact that this oil is destructive to fish life. We feel quite certain that with all the precautions taken by us after the expenditure of thousands of dollars in testing our walers by expert engineers that the waste walers from our factory are not harmful to fish or other forms of life. At St. Louis, Michigan, where is located one of our factories, two sugar factories discharge their wash water into the river at that place and no complaint has ever been made about dead fish. There is. however, no oil pollution of Michigan streams. 1 trust you will place these fads before the public so that it may become generally known that this company is doing everything possible to avoid pollution of the waters of the SI. Mary’s river and that in our opinion there are other reasons for the death of fish as reported. C. J. DREGMAN, Local Manager of Holland-St. Louis Sugar Co.

Ttwenty-three years ago when the inauguration of the International Live Stovk Exposition summoned to Chicago live stock breeders and feeders from remote recesses of civilization, the leaders of the trade in an international sense, embraced the opportunity to create a new epoch. During I the intervening period many of these 'have passed from this sphere of usefulness, a new generation profiting by their public s] iritedness and the seed they sowed has borne abundant fruit. The 1919 International affords an opportunity for a reunion of the survivors and a demonstration of how well they builded at a critical stage of the industry when public interest was revived in opportune manner. Every man, woman and child enjoying the distinction of attending the 1900 International Live Stock Exposition should embrace the opportunity to particopate in the Twentieth Anniversary of i that event at Chicago during the first I ♦ week in December.
