Criminals Have Very Unique Language, Local Officer Says

That tht ways of the police of the various cltlee are mysterious and beyond the ability of the average citisen to. fathom Is a recocnised fact. That many terms are used by the various oncers which probably have no meaning to any but themselves is another fact The average person can realise but vaguely of the catalogue of words used and their meaning. , 'For. Instance.' when, an officer' says to his superior: MH started as a heeler, the tool or -wire . In a gun mob then worked a dodge for several months. He was next heard of. as a stick-up man. but soon was a notorious peterman. 'His next Job was as a pennyweighter, after' which he turned an expert yeggman and . prowled a nnmber of Jugs." . And again a crook Is heard to say: -'"The fly mugs with the stools chased htm practically Into the arms of the Dicks and he was forced to work a flop, to get the dough. He then did the guy until he caught a big rattler. A 'flatter with a readeer finally got his hooks on him and It was all up." i To those familiar with, the terms usel In police - life and among criminals the above gives an Idea of the various things the criminal did and what finally happened to him. Out side of the Inner police and detective circles some of the phrases are seldom heard, and only the older men have a large vocabulary of such expressions, as they change rapidly. Many used a few years ago are heard less frequently now. In ordinary English the man in

question started his criminal career as a sneak thief and the man who

took money from a person's pocket while his confederates Jostled the victim. He then worked the old scheme of borrowing a sum of money and putting up a check for several times the amount, saying he wished the cash for a few minutes only leaving his -victim by going up one stair way - and then down another Into another street. The check, of , course was worthless. He became a holdup artist and later engaged In safe blowing. His next venture was going Into a jewelry etore and substituting an Imitation diamond while the clerk watched'htm. He - then - returned to safeblowing, hut now as an xpert. and succeeded In making successful hauls In several banks. A patrolman chased him after one robbery practically Into, the arms of the detectives, but he escaped. In need of funds he went lito store and worked . the . old gme of asking for a bill to put Into a letter, tendering several pieces of money , for It. When counted the money was found to amount to less tiaa the bill and the man handed the envelop In which he was supposed to fcave placed the money to the clerk, taking his own money In return. The envelope was found to contain blank

paper. The criminal walked out of the city and finally caught a train An oflcer with a warrant succeeded la arresting him and he was sentenced to long prison term. A local oOrer gives some of the expressions which are common In Richcood and known to nearly evey officer on the force. .They are the followfctj: . . Balls Pottoemeo. : Green Bulls New officers on the poforce. ; 'A J3b A robbery or other crime. !A fill guyThe victim of the crimla holler Telling the police. , Z'JtsAxl up Betrayed to the police. .

MUTINY Oil YACHT Portuguese Nobleman with a Brace of, Revolvers Quells the Sailors. PLANNED TO SINK CRAFT

Lisbon,. Aug. 4. A sensational occurrence ia reported on board the yacht Tolona. belonging to and commanded by Count Tolona. The count, hla wife, daughter and . two lady friends were on the yacht and, as It was nearlng the Island of Madeira, the crew mutinied one night Intending to loot the considerable money and valuables on board, sink the yacht and row ashore. The mutineers overpowered the two officers, whom they bound and gaged. Then they proceeded ; towards the count's and the ladies quarters. The count, however had been awakened by the noise, and, seising a brace of revolvers, he placed himself In front of the ladies cabin. The mutineers

advanced in a threatening attltudo

with drawn knives, and the count fired several shots wounding two of them. The remainder retreated and after considerable dlacussion . agreed to' hand over the two ringleaders (who were promptly placed In irons) the count promising to pardon the remainder. On arriving at Funchal, the ringleaders were handed over to the authorities and the count, fearing a repetition of the affair, paid off the crew.

Molly Bawn" Tonight It is not often that the actual quality of repertoire performances rouses a theater patron to the point of real enthusiasm, but the Cutter Stock presentations being given at the Murray this week are an exception to the genera rule. Last' night this excellent organization acted "Molly Bawn" and as on the first night the various members of the company from those having the important roles down to those cast for small parts gave perfect satisfaction. Chief among the many ways in which the Cutter organlsaton differs from the general run of stock companies is that Mr. Cutter has spent a large sum of money in providing scenery and costumes. Watching a Cutter performance one ' is immediately impressed with the lavish stage settings. They remind one constantly . of high 'priced attractions. Under the clrcnnv stances it is not at all surprising; that the Cntter company Is drawing large audiences nightly.

(American News Service) Portsmouth, Aug. 4. A startling invention for illuminating the track of shells used in night firing has been successfully tested by the British admiralty at Fort Albert, near Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. It greatly impressed the army experts who witnessed the operations, i To the base of the shell a metal cylinder is attached by, screw movement, and the act of firing the gun causes a powerful illuminant to burst into flame. It burns brightly throughput the whole of the trajectory of the missile, , and is especially useful in

testing the effectiveness of range at

night time both over land and sea. The device is also of value in show

ing the course of the shell. . During ricochet it was seen to be most variable in some cases, the sheel on striking the waters of the Solent, shot vertically upwards, a most 'surpirsing result, and in many Instances It was deflected from right to lift The sight of a shell hurling through the air leaving a train of light was most weird.
