es cf At Scotland ¥ London,~--When Chief Constable P. Wensley this month retired from his position as head of the criminal investigation department (the C.I. D.) of the metropolitan police, the public lost the services of one of the most brilliant detectives of modern times, . Mr. Wensley, when he passed in- to retirement, had completed 42 years' service with the metropoli- tan police. : Daring courage, bulldog tenacity, infinite patience, and extraordinary powers of deduction are the quali- ties which, step by step, brought Frederick Wensley from the -posi- tion of a uniformed policeman fin the east end of London to the proud position of being the first chief constable of the C.LD. : 'Joined In 1887 Mr. Wensley joined the police force in 1887, and was stationed in the Whitechapel district. He was on patrol in uniform when the notorious "Jack the Ripper" mur- ders sent a thrill of horror through the country. It was his keenness in the detection of crime which brought him under the notice of his superiors, and resulted in less than two years in his being trans- ferred to the C.L.D. There he had more scope for his abilities, and he soon became a terror to the criminals in the east end of London. In fact he was known as the 'Curse the Crooks." Today Whitechapel is a very dif- ferent place from what it was 35 vears ago. Then every street ana court and alley harbored the scum of the continent, criminals from Russia, Poland, Germany and It- aly, who had had to flee their own country to find sanctuary here. Mostly they were armed with knife or gun, and a police officer, to suc- ceed in this district, had to be pos- sessed of more than normal cour- age. of Wide Experience Every class of criminal passed through Mr. Wensley's capable hands, from sneak thieves to mur- dérers. His success was such that promotion came rapidly, and event- ually in the station where he first paraded as a P.C., he took his seat as divisional detective inspector, Spon after his promotion to thie rank Mr. Wensley had the job of unravelling one of the most baffl- ing murder mysteries ever dealt with by the police, the murder of Leon Biron on Clapham Common, With: infinite patience Mr. Wen- sley pieced together the evidence which he and has assistants were able to gather, and one Sunday morning he and several others, all' armed, went to a restaurant in the east end, and there arrested Stinfe' Detective Head Has Tg SS A SER THE OSH.

It was only a few months before this that the country, and London particularly, had been thrilled by the Sidney street siege, which fol- lowed the murder in Houndsditch of two city policemen. It was Wensley who traced to their lair in Bidney street the gang of anarchists, among them the no- torious "Peter the Painter," who were responsible for the Hounds- ditch crime. These desperadoes oc- cupied a top room in a house let off in tenements, Then a regular siege was con- tinued throughout the night, and next day was opened by the police. Reinforcements of police arrived at the scene in the morning and open- ed fire on the besieged house. Thousands of people, kept at a safe distance by the police, watched the thrilling scene, which reached its climax when, with his associates either badly wounded or deaa, ~ u- ter the Painter" set fire to the house and perished in the flames he had created. Then came further - promotion for Mr. Wensley, who was raised to the rank of chief inspector, and much to the regret of his hunareas of friends in the East End, Mr, Wensley, in accordance with regu- lations, had to leave Leman street and take up his duties at the Yard, There he became superintendent, the head of what is known as "the Big Five," and after some years in this position the post of chief constable was created as a compli- ment to Mr. Wensley, whose long, unbroken and unprecedented run of success had long deserved the honor, ; POWERFUL MOTIVE It was the young barrister's first case, and he was bubbling with pride and enthusiasm as he stood in court, "Now," said he, addressing the de- fendant, "you say you came to town to look for work? T put it to you there was another, a stronger motive that brought you all this distance." "Well," hesitated the defendant, "there was----" "Ah," cried the barrister, trium- phantly, "And what was it?" "A locomotive."-- South Times. The motor cyclist was on unfam- iliar ground, and directly before him was a fork in the road, with no sign post to tell him which way to go. "Which way to Stumpville?" he asked a dejected looking man 'who was leaning against a fence. The man waved his hand towards the left. "Thanks," said the motor cyclist, "How far is it?" ; : "'Taint far," was the drawling re- ply.

FORMER EMPEROR LIVES IN POVERTY Boy Head of Manchu Family Is Reduced to Straits Aug. 22.--The "Boy Emperor," once the ruler of all China, has moved into a small house in Tientsin with his wife and single concubine, because he can no longer afford to live in a large house. With his fortune almost gone, the former emperor is now depend- ent for support on the kindness of his "old Manchu retainers. But they, too, are suffering from fall- ing incomes, and are not able to spare anything to earn a living. He is. not ambitious, and his friends say he has no hopes whatever of recovering his lost power. He is content to live quietly with his two women and a few Manchus who have remained with him since his abdication. Income Cut Off When the emperor abdicated, an agreement was made to leave nim possessor of his landed property and a large part of his jewels and curios. But succeeding so-called Republican governments have rul- ed against this agreement, and the ex-emperor's property has gradual- ly been confiscated and sold. It is said that all of his income from property has now been cut off. The young ex-emperor also made an unfortunate invetsment. He put $250,000, almost all of his ready money, into the Exchange Bank of China, a joint Japanese-Chinese in- stitution. A few months ago this bank failed because of the deteri- oration in value of its investments in Chinese government bonds. The young emperor's money was lost together with that of thousands of other unfortunate Chinese deposit- ors. The "ex-emperor felt his poverty most. keenly when the news was reported to him that the tombs of his immediate ancestors, the Man- chu emperors, had been broken in- to by Chinese soldiers and dese- crated and robbed. Scraping together all the money he could, by the sale of some treas- ures, he managed to get $1,000 vo contribute to a fund for re-embalm. ing and re-burying the bodies of the Empress Dowager and other royal personges which had been taken out of their coffins, stripped of their ornaments, and thrown on the floors of their tombs. 7 Other Manchus, once rich and powerful, were able to contribute only au additional $4,000, and with this very simple burial rites were ue. Kept 100 Servants The ex-emperor has been living for the past two years in the Chan- gyuan garden in Tientsin, located in the Japanese concession. aa though the rent was given him free, by the divisional commander in charge of Tientsin, the place was so large that he had to keep more than 100 servants and other expenses in proportion. Seeing the young man's plight, an old Chinese friend, Lu Chungyu, offered him the use of one .of his houses, also in the Japanese con- cession, and the ex-emperor decid- ed at once te move with his house- hold. It is estimated that the ex-em- peror, his wife and his concubine, are now living on about $300 sil ver a month, or about $150 gold. Big Seed Cleaning Plant Peiping, The seed cleaning plant to be erected at Moose Jaw, Sask, by the Federal department of agriculture is to be an imposing modern struc ture. It will be 185 feet high and 60 x 150 feet ground dimensions The estimated cost is $250,000. The plant will have a sack and bulk storage capacity of approxi- matly 150,000 bushels, while its running capacity over a period of winter season, considering the pos- sibilities of delivery, should be ap- proximately from 300,000 to 500, 000 bushels, The equipment will include the latest cleaning and grading devices that can be found on thig continent. The Moose Jaw city council donated the site The Province of Alberta reports | an increase in the dairy production of the province for the first six months of this year of over 13 per cent, as compared with the same period of last year. At least $15,000,000 will be spent this summer by the Canadian Na- tional Railways on new hotels ex- tensions which have been made necessary by the phenomenal de- velopment of tourist traffic to the TFARE CORES COST | FARMERS MILLIONS Danger of Using Patent Remedies for Stock Stressed by Expert Urbana, Ill, Aug. 22.--Running up into millions of dollars, the "quack" and fake remedy business is one of. the heaviest drains upon the live stock industry of the mid- dle west, according to Dr. Robert Graham, chief of animal pathology and hygiene at the College of Ag- riculture, University of Illinois, . Stock owners could save money and at the sanie time keep their animals healthier if 90 per cent. of the so-called wonder-working rem- edies were discarded and replaced with common sense and veterinary care, he believes. Worthless remedies would get many more millions of farmers money were it not for the work of the federal food, drug and insect- icide administration, it was pointed out. The constant vigilance main- tained in this' work protects farm- ers from many of the worthless concoctions' flooding the market and holding out impossible hopes for the cure and prevention of every sort of animal disease, "Veterinary science is preparec to give more satisfactory, humane and economical treatment than can be secured with so-called cure-all remedies for the reason that suc- cessful treatment can only follow correct diagnosis," adds Dr. Gra ham. 'In this connection it is sur- I WA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1929 least qualified by training and ex- perience to diagnose diseases and prescribe remedies are most prone to attempt the cure of incurable diseases. y "Some of the wonder-working, cure-all remedies are known to cause pain and needless suffering of animals. The administration or animal medicines, exclusive of first aid treatments, is a type of work which requires skill and training such as the veterinary profession is best equipped by training and ex- perience to give. "Notwithstanding the unusual claims which may be made for cer- tain 'cures, there are mo kmown drug remedies for hog cholera, in- fluenza, tuberculosis of cattle and poultry, distemper of dogs, cats and foxes, heaves of horses, bacillary white diarrhoea of chickens, fowl! cholera, croup or diphtheria, chick-* en-pox and blackhead of turkeys." PROFITABLE EVENING "Who's the absent-minded one now?" said the professor as they left the church one rainy night. "You left your umbrella back there and I not only remembered mine] but I brought yours, too." And he produced them from his coat. His wife gazed blankly at him, "But," said she, "neither of us brought one to church,"--U. P. Ma- gaziné, Melachrino had been the victim of a tar and feather party. "Did you recognize any of the men," asked his friend Zaphiro, "Well, they were all masked," re- plied Melachrino, "but I know one of them was Shaver, the barber." "What!" exclaimed Zaphirio. "Yes," explained Melachrino, "when they had finished with the feathers he asked me if I would have prising to note that many people a singe." Hoboes' Ruler To Write Book About Travels NEW YORK, Aug, 22---~The King of All Hoboes, J, Leon Laberowitz, Wednesday officially announced his adbication. The 24-year-old potentate return- ed to his Brooklyn home from Al- asko, sartorially and tonsorially perfect. He has seen the world, has risen to rule the hoboes and wants to retire to go to work, "Hoboing is the only profession where you retire to go to work," the king said philosophically, "In all others you quit work to take it easy." When his excellency says work, he means he is going to write a book on his travels, which he fig- ures have carried him through North and South America and Eur- ope, for a distance of 371,564 3): sireer 5 Tu AVENUE. ..... ~~ OPPOSITE PENNA.
