Boston Is Baffled
By Woman Raffles
BOSTON.—A woman “Raffles,’’
who has undisputed entree to
the summer homes of Boston’s
society, and' who directs opera
tions of a daring band of thieves,
is terrorizing the North Shore.
In less than ten days approxi
mately SIOO,OOO in jexuaUs have
vanished from six mansions and
clubs.
No clews were left by the ad
venturess and her assistants, who
C.re believed to have used a mo
torboat in their operations and
to have taken also at least $200,-
000 in gems from Newport cot
tages early in July.
The band, the police believe,
has almost unlimited resources
and surrounds its star workers
with all the credentials and ICft
uries of the wealthy, and can take
its time in disposing of its loot,
either here or abroad?
EXPERT THINKS
PUBLIC IS LAZY,
NOT REACTIONARY
SAN FRANCISCO.—Has America
gone reactionary?
This query being asked since maf.y
tecent elections have returned the.
••old guard” is answered by John
Collier, of New York, one ofe t*ie
Country’s biggest sociologists, with a
decisive “No.”
Collier, visiting the coast to estab
lish “community centers” under the
Immigration commission’s auspices,
and even with his eye on California's i
primaries which nominated with less
than half the G. O. P. voting strength j
an old guard Republican candidate |
for the senate, does not hesitate
to say that the people of the nation
are soundly progressive.
“American public opinion is sleepy,
lazy,” he said. “It isn’t dead. It’s
had too much to do in the past five
years. While it’s lethargic, the in
terests are tip-toeing in and getting
control. There’s no fundamental re<
action, however."
Collier says Americans have got to
be awakened.
“There’s only one way to arouse
public opinion again,” he said.
"Start from the beginning. Amer
ican democracy was founded on ‘the
little red schoolhouse,’ the neighbor
hood meetings, the the corner
grocerv. It was from these small
groups’ that grew the great leaders
Os the Revolution and Civil war and
the stern, thoughtful armies at their
taack s.
"Our government has drifted away
from the people. We need a return
to the town hall kind of government.
Small neighborhood units of 100 to
200 in cities, towns and country can
save democracy. This is what we
are trying to accomplish through
•Community Organization’-—to make
government less abstract.' _

New York’s Famous “Dog Cops’’
May Be “Fired” From Force
NEW YORK.—If the remaining
members of the once famous canine
squad known as the “dog cops” do
not show speedy improvement in
their patrol work, particularly with
reference* to burglar hunting, they
will be dismissed from the force for
neglect of duty. The first of these
dogs were trained and put into police
service during the later part of the
second administration of Mayor
George B. McClellan, in 1908, «.nd
were intended as aids to policemen
in covering large beats ip thinly
populated suburban districts of the
city. In the Flatbush section of
Brooklyn complaints have come from
some of the residents to the effect
that burglaries have increased there
since the dogs were taken away.
In reply to this Police Commis
sioner Enright declares the admin
istration has not changed procedure
as regards the police dogs, but he
questions their value.
“The protective value of police
dogs,” he says, “seems to be a state
of mind. There is absolutely no
record to prove that these dogs have
been of any value whatever in the
department. There is a lengend that
one of them a long time ago assist
ed in the capture of a burglar.”
In a letter to the Brookly Eagle
answering criticism to the effect that
the absence of the police dogs had
resulted in an increase in burglaries
in the Flatbush section, the ocm
missidner submits the records of the
Lawrence aveue station precinct for
five years, showing that burglaries
have decreased' and more arrests
have been made since the dogs were
taken away.
"During, the. first six months of
this year 3,606 burglarfes were re
ported in the entire city, as against
4,000 during the first six months of
last year, and as against 5.031 during
the first six months of 1917 —the last
year of the Mitchel-Woods adminis
tration,” he added.
The police dogs were increased to
twenty-three by Police Commissioner
Arthur Woods during the administra
tion of Mayor Mitchel, but not more
than eight or ten remain. Eight died
some months ago of pneumonia.

Atlanta Woman Is x
Claimant for Fortune
Held by French Consul
In the Monday afternoon edition of
The Journal there was published a
copy of a letter Written to Mayor Jas.
L. Key by Andre LaFargue, attorney
for the French general consul at New
Orleans. This letter asked aid in
locating a Mr. Brunner, ol Atlanta,
for whom the French consul 1 is hold
ing a document worth 594.823 francs,
in normal times more th;\n SIOO,OOO.
The first claimant appeared at the
mayor's office Tuesday in the per
son of a representative of Mrs. George
W. ’Brunner, whose husband, whom
she thinks is the Mr. Brunner in
question, died last month.
According to the statement made,
Mr. Brunner had spent some time
in France, was a descendant of
French ancestors of the nobility and
is probably the man being searched
for
Mayor Key suggested that Mrs.
Brunner get in touch with the writer
of the letter, and ascertain if the
identity of the late Mr. Brunner is
that of the man for whom the im
portant docuipent is waiting.
Fined $25 For Eating Onions
(Kansas City Star.)
A freight car jolted to a'stop early
today in front of the humble abode
of Grant Harrell, at Alton and
Guinotte avenues, in the East Bot
toms. Harrell, who was sitting out
in front of his house, sniffed delight
edly. then approached the car.
;An hour later raproad special
agents found Harrell sitting in the
car. There were oniolns to right
of him, bttions to the left of him.
From the pile of "tops” in front of
him. there were onions inside of him.
With tears in his eyes, the of
ficers led Harrell to police head
quarters. Later he faced Judge John
M. Kennedy in the North Side court.
■• “rm guilty, judge,” Harrell said.
“I’ve always been addicted to onions
and I couldn’t resist when /t carload
of ’em stopped right out In front.”
“Just turn a little to one side,”
ordered the court. “I’m going to fine
you $25 and send you to the mu
nicipal farm. But I’ll make a special

SHALE OIL MAY
HELP SOLVE U.S.
FUEL PROBLEMS
WASHINGTON. Petroleum may
be a wasting asset for the United
States, so far as free oil pumped or
(lowing from nature’s underground
reservoirs is concerned, but we nave
right here in little old U. S. A. a
source of petroleum greater than—
perhaps double —the total crude oil
remaining underground in the whole
world!
The result of a decline in natural
petroleum production in this country,
then, does not mean, necessarily,
that we will be at the mercy of such
outside nations as may control the
balance of the world’s oil fields.
What it Means
Instead, it only means the begin
ning in/this country of a new indus
try that will give employment to
thousands; the building of new towns
in regions now sparsely settled; the
erection of great plants and the de
velopment of industrial activities in
areas far removed from present cen
ters of industry.
The answer to decreasing produc
tion of natural oil is the increased
production of shale oil. In north
western Colorado, northeastern Utah,
southwestern Wyoming and in north
ern Nevada lie enormous mountains
of shales holding, as a blotter holds
Ink, more petroleum than nature
stored away in oil pools in the whole
world. _ ,
To a lesser extent, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Kentucky, Texas, Wisconsin,
Michigan and West Virginia hold
deposits of oil shales.
Oil shales consist largely of fossil
organic debris and the decomposition
of plants and animals, largely
aquatic. These fossil organic de
posits are high in hydrogen content
and, when subjected to heat, yield
large proportions of volatile matter
which may be condensed as oil.
Proven Practicable
That the production of oil from
shale is practicable, has been prov
en in Scotland, where the annual pro
duction from Scotch shales has, for
several years, been around 2,000,000
barrels annually.
The average yield of Scotch shale
is twenty-two gallons of petroleum
per ton of shale treated.
D E. Winchester, who has mapped
most of Uncle Sam’s deposits for
the government, reports that in Col
orado and Utah alone there is
enough shale capable pf yielding
twenty-two gallons or better per ton
to provide a minimum of forty bil
lion barrels of crude petroleum, con
taining five billion barrels of gaso
line. Other regions, he estimates,
would make the total petroleum
available from American shales be
tween eighty and 100 billion barrels.
Just what this means may be un
derstood by recalling that to date
all petroleum produced in the Unit
ed States is less than six billion bar
rels, and that the total estimated
free petroleum in the world is be;
tween forty and fifty-three billion
''"'ls soon as the price of natural
crude crosses the line where petrol
eum from shale can be produced at
a profit, these vast new reserves will
begin to flow into the market as a
stabilizing factor.
Just what that price line would be,
officials now are unable to state.
Scotland, at before-war wage scales,
was able to compete with importa
tions of American petroleum with
her shale oil.
Test Plant Bruit
A test plant, for experimentation
in shale oil distillation, is now be
ing built in Colorado by the depart
ment of interior. A number of pri
vate companies have been formed in
Colorado and .Utah. The likelihood
is that within five years'a mammoth
Industry for converting our moun
tains into oil may be well

with which to combat any attempt

ment through outside control of the

chief geologist, “an enduring a ® s ® '

Hit by Propeller
While in Mid-Air
SYRACUSE, N. Y.—Five hun
dred feet in the air in view of
80,000 visitors at .the state fair,
“Tex” McLoughlin’ was badly in
jured when struck by the propel
ler of the higher airplane to
which he had transferred himself
in midair.
McLoughlin’s escape from death
was miraculous. He clung to
to the rope ladder of the machine
until it reached . the ground,
blood dripping over the specta
tors as the machine circled in de
scending, partially out of control.
McLoughlin was still conscious
when reached, though he had been
dragged more than 100 feet on
the round before the machine
was brought to a stop. He will
recover.
FACING DEATH,
KELLOY SINGS
GRAND OPERA
GRIFFIN, Ga., Sept. 21.—Jack L.
Kelloy, convicted last Friday by a
Spalding county jury of the murder
of Leßoy Trexler, an Atlanta taxi
cab driver, and sentenced to be
hanged October 29, does not seem to
be worrying over his fate. He is
entertaining about 45 other inmates
of the jail, as well as people dwell
ing in the vicinity, with daily
operatic concerts, interspersed with
the latest popular songs and vaude
ville hits, along with buck dancing
of a superior brand. Those who
have heard Kelloy no longer doubt
his statement that he formerly was
an actor and all agree that Ke has
an excellent voice.
Kelloy ?ate little breakfast last
Saturday morning following his con
viction the night before, but he burst
into song about noon, and neither
Sheriff Patrick nor any of the jail
attendants has been able to discover
the slightest trace of worry on the
face of the condemned man since
that time.
The prisoner had to be confined in
a small cell after a trial In the large
center cage, where he proceeded to
break up the furniture so that the
other prisoners became alarmed and
complained to the jailor. It was later
reported that he had a large knife
and this was taken away from him.
Orders allow no one to go near this
cell, and close watch is kept on him,
just as throughout the trial.
He is said to have sent a letter
to Mrs. J. L. Kelloy, 233 West Pine
Street, Atlanta, last Sunday, asking
his wife to visit him. He claims to
have relatives in Cfiattanooga,
Washington state and New York
city, but so far as is known the
letter, to his wife is tfie only mes
sage he has sent. He seems to think
that some favorable turn will show
that he did not kill Trexler, accord
ing to the sheriff. who is very
much puzzled by the man’s apparent
cheerfulness in the face of his im
pending doom.

I FRANCIS WEIRATH, fore-
1 man at Goodrich Rubber
Co., Akron, Ohio, who de
clares he has improved so
since taking Tanlac that no ’
one ivouia. ever take nim to
be the same man. Says he
gained fourteen pounds.

“To look at me today no one would
ever take me to be the same person
I was before I began to take Tanlac.
It has simply done wonders for me,
and I want everybody to know about
this medicine,” said Francis Weirath,
foreman of a large department of the
Goodrich Rubber Company plant at
Akron, Ohio. Mr. Weirath resides at
210 West State Street, that city.
“I was in an awfully bad state of
health for fourteen years, and dur
ing the past ten years I got to the
point where life was a burden. I
suffered terribly with Indigestion
and dyspepsia. I never had any ap
petite, and all I could eat for break
fast was a soft boiled egg and a lit
tle milk. I would get so nervous and
miserable that many a night I never
slept a wink, and when nothing
would bring me any relief I had just
chout come to tfie conclusion my
ckse was hopeless.
“I haven’t taken but three bottles
of Tanlac, but I feel better than I
have felt for twelve years. I’ve
gained fourteen poundi in weight./
and am getting heavier and stronger
every day. I never have indigestion
any more, my appetite is splendid,
and I eat just anything and every
thing I want. I sleep sound every
night, and all that tired, worn-out
feeling is gone. In fact, I am a well
man in every way.
“The men at the plant all tell me
I am looking fine these days and
getting fat. They all want to know
what I am doing to myself, and it’s
always a pleasure for me to tell
them about Tanlac.”
Tanlac is sold by all leading drug
gists.
