THE SECBET POLICE SERVICE inspector Byrnes and the Methods He Has Introduced in New York City. A System of Espionage Which Calls to Its Aid the Services of All Kinds of PeopleResults that Put Yidocq to Shame. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New York, April 3.—ls anyone were to ask. "Who is the beet advertised man in New \ ork? ’ it is doubtful whether one well-informed man in the first five hundred would answer correctly, so well and ingeniously is the advertising done in this case. It is not P. T. Barnnm, or Jake Sharp, or Aiderman Jaehne, or Ed Stokes, or anyone you would be likely to think of, so exquisitely is the publicity achieved for the man who gets the lion’s share of it. That man is Inspector Byrnes, of the police detective force. For several years there has not been an important arrest in New York city to speak of, to which his name has not been attached in a heroic light The headquarters reporter of a newspaper telephones down: “Byrnes has made a big arrest —will give out the news at 8 o'clock to-night." Somebody is sent up to get 6he news. Byrnes is chatting with the superintendent The other reporters are there. "Follow me, gents," says the great detective, and all the scribes do so, through a narrow passage and down three swinging doors into the eminent human sleuth-hound’s private room. You are always led into it in a roundabout way, and yet you are let out of it through a door, plump into the main hall. That is part of the business. The reporters take seats, and produce pads and pencils. The inspector lolls on a leather louge, and a marvelous tale of detective adventure, adroitness, porseverence and cunning rolls from his lips. The story is true, and is printed with more or less completeness. That is why he is the best advertised man in New York. He is shrewd enough to give trustworthy information to the press interestingly. That is next to the greatest secret of his success, which is that he is a born Dolitician. He ds a well-built, broad-shouldered man, of average height, with a round, heavy face, low forehead, protruding cheek bones, and a black, stiff mustache. From being a "sidewalk measurer," as they call the patrolmen, he came to be a sergeant, and then a captain, by excellent service and knowing how to help himself along. He was captain of a station, then of the Broadway squad, and next of the Central Office detectives; and the first thing anyone knew he was made Inspector. Somebody asked Inspector Byrnes one day if be bad ever read the life of Vidocq, the great Parisian detective. “No,” he said, "but I tried to. It’s all bloody guff—regular French funny ibusiness, got up to goose the public. If there ever was any such business in our line the day for it has passed by. We don’t do any stageliroperty, dime-novel disguising nowadays, unesa it may be to put on a beard or shave off a mustache. Nowadays, we understand the crooks too well to need any such contrivance. There’s a job been done; it's such and such a kina of a job. and it’s done by an old hand, or it’s clumsy and bungling as if a greeney had done it. Well, we’ve got the crooks dead to rights on the different lays. If it’s a bit of sneak work, we look around among the crooks in that line, find out where they are and where they were when the job was done. Then we narrow it down to one. and when we get the dead wood on him we give him the collar. Just so we do if it’s a job of any other sort. Each man has his own lino and we know the men in each line.’’

A major part of the detective work in New York is based on the fact that the old adage "There is honor among thieves,” is a falsity. Certain criminals are under suspicion, a great many are under obligations to the detectives in one way or another; others, still, are gratuitously dishonorable, and make it a business to whisper to the police. To these men the detectives go when they want to discover who did a crooked piece of work, or to find out the whereabouts of a criminal under suspicion. In the pigeon-holes of the district attorney’s office are hundreds of papers criminating men engaged in crime who are not prosecuted because thev have political influence or are helpful to the police. It is a sad state of affairs, but it is actually so. Then, again, there ate horrible dives and dens where vice holds high carnival every night, and about which the newspapers print the most astounding disclosures. They are never closed or raided by the police. Do you know why? It is because they are the adjuncts of the modern detective system. Suppose that Billy Porter is wanted. He drops into one of these places in disguise. Not one of the detectives who are constantly going in and out is able to recognize him. Before daylight he is arrested. Suppose that some young ruffian, ■unknown to the police because he has just committed his first offense, or because he belongs in some distant city, drops into one of these places. He, too, is arrested before daybreak. In that den of vice? Oh, no. He leaves there before miduight, and he is arrested iu bed in Jersey City, or in a tenement in Harlem. How is it done! Well, ten minutes after he enters the no ioriou ! dive, the proprietor is told of his presence; is told, perhaps, that the fellow is hard up, find needs money to get out of town. The proprietor is a head criminal among criminals. He is generous. He hands out twenty dollars, and treats to the drinks. Or perhaps nothing of the sort takes place, and only a bouncer belonging to the dive, or a man who waits on the tables finds out who has come iu; or quite as likely one of the poor outcast women who haunt the place tp drink, and smoke, and dance gets a hint from the man, himself, or from a comrade of who and what be is. If the criminal is at all well known, he is recognized, of course, and congrat nlated on all sides for having kept out of quod so long. Strangely enough, while he is enjoying himself, a man pops into police headquarters, and is lost to sight behind a door, and presently shoots out and Is next seen sauntering into the dive in question. Close on his heels goes a detective, who lounges on a corner near the ssioon or slips into the door of a house opposite, to which he carries a key to an upper room, commanding a view of the door of the dive. The criminal, in time, steps Into the street,. and makes his way to his hiding place. If he were to walk backwards, and command a view of the road he had gone over, he would not know or see that he was being shadowed, so skillfully is the shadowing done. He reaches his dwelling, and foes to bed, to wake up with a detective’s—lyrnes’s, of course—band on his shoulder. Or, perhaps, that hand is not laid on him for a day or two, or even three days; what matters it so long as he is "located?" Does the poor wretch ever afterward suspect that the dive-keeper "gave bim away?" Probably not, and if he did it would be vague suspicion at the best. Brothel-keepers, rum-sellers, dance-house proprietors, courtesans, pawn-brokers and thieves are all in the detective business under the modern system, and it was never more true than it Is to day that a thief fears his own shadow. Well he may, and his own mistress also, and his own nearest chum and companion. There are Chinamen who have been caught in crime and let go on condition that they will help the police in ferreting out other criminals in the Chinese quarter. There are Italians whose business it is to destroy other Italians, and negroes set upon negroes in the same way. Trnly is Vidocq’s Ac old fashioned, stale and withered reputation in the light of modern detective work. Crime done by criminals is easily hunted out and punished. So far the system is effectiva But if the crime is the act of a man or woman new to wrong-doing and unknown to the police and eroolcs, as was the murderer of Dr. Lerdell, of pretty Marie Rogers, of Benjamin Nathan, of frail Annie Downey, and the rest of th<i famous Unexpiated cases, then murder doesn't "out” at •11 nnder the present method. I know a very dapper old man who lives in a Broadway hotel and dresses and looks like a g?npileman and a man of forty, though he is a wieksd old rogue of at least sixty-five. He is rich and is what they call a "backer” in police •vernacular—that is, he advances money to burglars and thieves who need it to do a job that retAukes fine tools or one ka which a bank clerk is

to be bribed. He backs gambling games, and lottery offices, and all that sort of thing, as well. Ostensibly he is a retired capitalist. He says he made his money in sugar in Louisiana before the war. He has for a family a beautiful, ladylike woman whom he calls his wife, and two lovely little girls, to whom he sneaks only German in the morning, only French in the afternoon, and only English between 6 o’clock dinner and bedtime. They are good little children and say their prayers at his knees whenever he is at home to hear them. Now this old gentleman is a great adjunct of the machinery of justice. He deals with the principal thieves, burglars, forgers, counterfeiters and knaves of all kinds, constantly. Supposo one of them does not deal fairly with him, cheats him, quarrels with him, blabs about him, takes to drinking And becomes loose tongued, or does anything that makes the old gentleman angry and uneasy. Well, what then? Oh, nothing, except that he is in jail before long—caught in the act or nabbed for a past offense that the police could not at the time throw any light upon. The old fentleman reads of the arrest in the papers. ►own in his office in Nassau street, where the glass doors bears the painted legend "Parker Manufacturing Company/’ he condoles with the crooks who call on him for "backing/’ and be and they wonder how tho poor miscreant came to be tripped up. At the hotel the loungers say to him: “Old fellow, you seem to be very jolly to-day.” "Yes/'he says, "Western Union went up a point and a quarter to-day.” Nobody suspects bim in either place. But true as this is concerning the detective methods of to-day, it is not written to lessen the reputation of Inspector Byrnes. There has been better work since he took charge of the force than before, and there is less scandal and less food for scandal about dishonest detectives than there used to be. One result of Byrnes’s tremendous reputation is that he has to keep it up, now he has got it, which is a good thing for New York, after aIL ARBITRATION OP LABOR TROUBLES. The House Slightly Amends and Finally Passes the Bill Introduced by Mr. O’Neill. Washington, April 3.— Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri, raised the question of consideration on a proposal tp take up the free coinage bill, in order to call up the labor arbitration bill. After an informal discussion, in which an amicable arrangement was sought to be arrived at, Mr. Bland, of Missouri, signified his willingness to yield one hour to the labor bill, as the gentleman in charge of that bill thought it might be passed within that time. Mr. Reed, of Maine, thought that an hour would avail nothing, as the opponents of the bill could talk that hour away; and there was language enough on the other side to do it. On a division the House refused—6B to 72—to consider the silver bill, and the yeas and nays were ordered. A proposition was then made that instead of taking the yeas and nays, one hour might be given to the discussion of the silver bill; but to this Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri, objected, stating that he wished the labor bill to come up immediately. The vote—yeas 89, nays 125—only emphasized the previous action, and for the lime being the silver b 11 was laid aside, and the House went into committee of the whole—Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the chair—on the arbitration bilL Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, regarded the bill as a perfectly worthless one, and with the exception of the fifth section, a perfectly harmless one. unless it might be construed as a step in the wrong direction; that section gave the power to railroad corporations to put their hands into the United States Treasury to enable them to fight the workingmen. Mr. Warner, of Missouri, offered an amendment providing that the members of the tribunal of arbitration shall receive a compensation of $lO a day for the time actually employed. It also prescribes the fees and compensation to be allowed the clerk and stenographer, marshals And witnesses; provides that the tribunal shall have the power to limit the number of witnesses in each case, whose fees shall be paid by the United States, and appropriates a sufficient sum to carry the provisions of the bill into effect. Mr. Tilman, of South Carolina, offered an amendment to the amendment providing that not exceeding SI,OOO shall be paid out of the treasury to defray the expenses of any single arbitration. The amendment was agreed to, and Mr. Warner's amendment as amended was adopted.

The committee then rose and reported the bill to the House. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, moved to recommit the bill, with instructions to the committee on labor to report in lieu thereof a concurrent resolution expressly of the sense of this Congress that, so far as practicable, all controversies between employers and employes should be subject to arbitration, either by voluntary agreement or in accordance with the law. The motion was lost—3o to 96, and the bill was passed—yeas, 195; nays, 29. The following is the negative vote: Allen, (Miss. ) Barnes, Belmont, Bennet, Breckinridge (Kv.), Crisp, Croxton, Davidson (Ala.), Daniel, Foran, Forney, Glover, Hale, Hammond, Harris, Hemphill, Hill, Hutton, Irion, Jones (Ala.), Norwood, O’Ferrel, Reagan, Rogers, Sadler, Skinner, Tilman, Tucker. On motion of Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, the title of the bill was amended so as to read, “To provide a method of settling controversies and difficulties between railroad corporations engaged in inter-state and territorial transportation of property and passengers, and their employes." SUITS AGAINST STATES. Illinois Will Bring Sait Against Georgia to Recover Value of Repudiated Bonds. Chicago, April 3.—Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, of the law firm of Isham & Lincoln, said, this morning, that his firm held bonds of the face value of SIOO,OOO, issued by the State of Georgia in 1869 and 1870, and since repudiated, which they had been directed to present to the State of Illinois for the benefit of the Soldiers’Home. The bonds are among others bought up by foreigners, and for a long time have been in the hands of New York bankers. Mr. Lincoln states that suit would be brought by the United States Supreme Court, within a short time, by the State of Illinois against the'State of Georgia, to recover the amouut of these repudiated bonds. In 1882 test suits were brought by the States of New Hampshire and New York against Louisiana, by the Attorney-general, in tho name of the States, to recover the amount of repudiated bonds held by their citizene, but the decision of the Supreme Court, delivered by Chief-justice Waite, was that owners of State bonds coaid not sue in the name of their State after getting the consent of that State, or one State could not assume the prosecution of the debts of another Statu to its citizens. It is because of this decision that the present mode of aotion has been decided upon. While the suit pro'.ni to provoke interesting questions of ue relations between States under the Constitution, Mr. Lincoln said it was impossible to say what its issue might be, although he was of the opinion that the legal points to be considered would be entirely novel to the Supreme Court Rome time ago a move was made with a similar end in view by Judge Lochrane, ol Georgia, as American agent of a large number of German holders of repudiated bonds. A claim was filed against the United States in the Court of Claims, at Washington, in which the claim was set up that the United States was liable for the debts contracted by the Southern States directly governed by the general government during the reconstruction period. This case, in which Messrs. Isham & Lincoln are also interested, will have a special hearing before the Court of Claims on next Monday morning. Accident at a Banquet. Philadelphia, April 3.—While a number of graduates of the Jefferson Medical College, who received their diplomas to day, were gathering in the Natatorium Hall, last evening, to eDjoy a banquet, a temporary ttaga gave way, precipitating several of them into the basement, a distance of nine feet. John G. Goe, of Ohio, was seriously injured internally by a heavy piano falling across his breast Bartholomew Vails, of Texas, also received severe injuries. The others escaped with slight bruises.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 1886—TWELVE PAGES,

THE STAGE AND ITS PEOPLE The Various Attractions Offered to Local Theater-Goers During This Week. “Zozo, the Magic Queen,” The Juvenile Mikado Company, “His Sin,” and the Japanese Specialty Company—Notes and Gossip. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. A novel and attractive spectacular production, "Zozo, the Magic Queen,” will be given at the Grand all this week, and the city lettercarriers, a deserving class of citizens, will derive a pecuniary benefit from it, which, doubtless, will add largely to the success of the engagement. "Zozo” is a spectacular drama in which the comedy element predominates, and in which an entertaining story is told, with the accessories of gorgeous nageantry, beautiful scenery and glittering costumes. The transformation scene, which was painted by the eminent artist Henry Hoyt, is described as a marvel of beauty and richness. The company carries two car-loads of special scenery and properties, and includes about fifty people, prominent among whom are George H. Adams, the pantomimist and comedian, who plays Washington Knowall, a very amusing part, Miss Adelaide Cherie, who is reputed to be the handsomest woman before the public, and others equally as talented. ENGLISH’S OPERA-HOUSE. On next Friday and Saturday nights, at this house, a very pleasing treat is in store for admirers of "The Mikado,” when the Juvenile Mikado Company will make their first appearance in this city since their organization here. The company is more interesting, from the fact of its containing a large degree of Indianapolis talent in its ranks. The cast will contain the famous Hollywood children, the part of Ko-Ko being assigned to little Dick, who is diminutively grotesque in the part, and'will make people laugh in spite of themselves. The Nanki-Poo of little Miss Lizzie Hollywood is an attractive picture, and she has a splendid voice that is delightfully clear and musical. Little Miss Lotta Hollywood takes the part of Pitti-Sing, and Miss Marion Fleming, as Katisha, shares considerable of the honors, as she sings with remarkable ease and power, and with clear enunciation. The choruses are well drilled, and all the business and movements gracefully executed. To the ladies, Baby Clara, as Yum-Yura, by her pretty ways and graceful movements is a bright particular feature. The performance is a novel production of this quaint Japenese opera, aud is produced in a manner highly creditable, as to costuming, scenery and properties. The MaDleson Opera Company are playing the most successful engagement in the history of the organization, on the Pacific coast Manager English has secured this great attraction for a brief season of grand opera, at English's Operahouse. the last week in April. Colonel Mapleson will himself be here, to superintend the productions. among which is the new French opera by Massenet, produced in San Francisco last week for the first time in this country. It will be given with Minnie Hauk in the title role, Manon, supported by the famous tenor, Sig. Edgardo Giannini, and introducing a graud ballet divert isement led by M’me Malvina Cavallazza. M'lle Fohstrom will be seen for the first time in this city, in the opera, "Lucia.” M’lle Fohstrom received the universal praise of the press of New York and the Pacific coast, for her magnificent singing and powerful acting in this opera. M'lle Lillian Nordica, the young American prima donna, will be heard as Violetta, in "La Traviata,” a role in which she is said to be unequaled. "L’Africaine,” "The Taming of the Shrew,” and "Carmen” will also be given.

THE MUSEUM. The new melodrama, "His Sin,” very highly spoken of by the press, with George Morton as the leading character, will run all week at the Museum. The piece has never bee a seen here, but from all accounts it has been a remarkable success. It is a scenic play, and will be put on in good style at tho Museum. Great dramatic merit is claimed for it The plot is well designed, and in its development many dramatic situations and incidents occur, and the performance is one that commands much admiration. Mr. Morton was seen here last season as the leading man in the "Hoop of Gold" company. He is a popular young actor, and possesses considerable ability. The company is otherwise good, including Deloss King, J. U. Randall, Gussie De Forest and other capable people. ZOO THEATER. ft The opening week under the former management has been a success. This week's company is the Yang Yings, who perform themselves and have a large array of talent, with such people as the Muldoon Quartet and Fanny Prestige in the company. The latter appears in anew bur leeque, “La Duchess.” There will be new features in amusemeut hall and a change of performers in the theatorium. Prices are 10 and 20 cents. Notes of tlie Stage. Emma Nevada will go to Europe about the middle of May. The Cincinnati May musical festival opens on May IS, and closes on the 22d. Genevieve Ward has enjoined Jeffreys Lewis from playing "Forget me not.” Alboni, the great prima donna, lately celebrated her sixtieth birthdaj', in Paris. Mme. Judic, it is said, is shortly to marry M. Milland, the critic of the Paris Figaro. Herr S.vlva is to receive $6,000 a month next season from the American Opera Company. Patti and Nicolini propose to marry shortly and spend their honeymoon at Patti’s Welsh castle.* Dan Sully has entered suit against the Cincinnati Law and Order League, laying damages at SI,OOO. A moral elevation society in Des Moines, la., is directing its efforts toward tho suppression of "loud" theatrical printing. Haverly's Original European Minstrels, including the great Cragg family of gymnasts v will be here on the 15th instant Colonel Mapleson is reported as having signed a contract with Adelina Patti for a farewell tour of this country next season. Quite a number of the big melo dramas that are beginning to fray at the edges will be jobbed out to the dime museums next season. Sydney Rosenfeid has been engaged to write the libretto of "Der Bostchafter” (the embassador), the latest German operatic success, which John A. McCauli has purchased the right to for this country. Mr. Henry Dixey has acquired all the rights in Leander Richardson and Wm. Gill’s musical satire called "Honest Injun.” He will put it away in his trank and produce it when “Adonis” is worn out, if that condition ever arises. N. C. Goodwin says he bas made more money out of "The Skating Rink" than all the other plays be has had combined. It makes no great dramatic pretensions, but is said to be indescribably funny, and he is doing an enormous business with it. Denman Thompson’s new play, called "The Old Homestead,” will be produced in Boston next Monday. The play is in four acts, each member of the company assuming two characters in different acts. The play is a sequel to “Joshua Whitcomb.” On next Friday ex-Judge Dittenhoefer will argue in the United States Court at Providence, for Miles and Barton, of that city, the question as to whether companies can be restrained from using orchestra scores of “The Mikado." John Stetson is the contesting party. Sol Smith Russell’s new nlay, “Felix McKusick,” is something of a novelty. Ho plays the editor of a country paper, who develops into the manager of a dime museum and has some very ludicrous adventures. Russell’s opportunities for fun-making are numerous, and he introduces his specialties and imitations. The Barnum and Forepaugh shows are to play under one tent in Philadelphia, beginning with the week of April 26. There is some talk to the •fleet that a pooling arrangement has boon oa*

tered into between the two big shows for the entire season, each company taking its just percentage of the gross receipts of both. Such a scheme would link the three greatest shows in America in one combination, including the Barnum, Forepaugh and Cole organizations. George Farren is arranging for the production of a play called "A Laboring Man.” E. H. Dunbar and F. G. Maeder are the authors. The story deals with the present labor troubles. The opening takes place in Philadelphia on April 12. and the tour will be under the patronage of the assemblies of the Knights of Labor. A complimentary benefit will be tendered Mr. F. G. White, on Saturday night, April 17, at the Grand Opera-house. No man ever set foot on Indiana soil who has more friends among the amusement-loving public than this same genial, whole-souled “Old White.” 111-health has left him temporarily in straitened circumstances,and the benefit is a gratuitous tender of his innumerable friends. A fine programme is being arranged, and it is safe to say that the house will be crowded, and that not one but will leave it well satisfied with the performance. Particulars will be given later. We take pleasure in ealling special attention to the closing-out sale of Marcy, the jeweler, in another column of this paper. Don’t buy till you see their stock of jewelry, watches and diamonds.
