SIR CONAN DOYLE IS REAL SHERLOCK HOLMES Clears Reputation of Aceused Man Through His Hero's System of Deductions. M. B. Who created Sherlock Holmes and proved himself great detective's peer in Edalil's case. VOL. 23 NO. 43. SIR CONAN DOY REAL SHEL Cleans Reputation of Ac Hero's System Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created "Sherlock Holmes," prince of modern detectives, and thrilled the fiction-reading and excitement living word. "What an ingenious imagination!" was the exclamation of the millions who had followed the adventures of the masterful sleuth. "What a fund of fancy, but how thoroughly logical withal!" they cried. Now "Sherlock Holmes" is no longer a creature built of the stuff "that dreams are made of." He is no longer merely the stage conception of his dramatic friend, William Gillette. He is a real, live man. And his name is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Thereby hangs a story that has stirred all England and sent its echoes far across the distant seas. Even as his own hero worked many times in fiction just for the glory of clearing the wrongs of dishonor and righting the wrongs of oppressed, so Sir Arthur has labored the interests of justice, without reward save the knowledge that his deed was good, and he has triumphed in two particulars. He has cleared a man unjustly accused—cleared him at least in the eyes of the world, if not completely in the legal sense, and He has gained, through his efforts, the right to be called the original "Mr. Sherlock Holmes of Baker street." Tardily enough, but none the less emphatically, hard-headed British justice has indorsed his work, for within a few days the authorists with whom the author has worked for years to clear his much-wronged client, have consented to arrest another author, of the crime, and, have admitted that they blundered badly in the first instance. This is how it all came about: In the early part of 1903 all England was stirred by a series of dandish crimes in the country about Great Wryley, district of Staffordshire. Cattle and horses belonging to farmers and "country gentlemen" living in that picturesque part of the island were found by their owners shockingly maled. Horses, cows and sheep were slashed with knives or stabbed and left lying in field or stable. Many of the beasts were not fatally hurt, indicating that the "slasher's" sole desire was to inflict painful wounds on the dumb brutes. He would visit one locality on the same evening, and then he would be heard from many miles away from the scene of the previous outrage. To many it seemed like the work of a lunatic, but the stolid, unimaginative land owners decided that it was some one trying to wreak vengeance for a fancied wrong. But so silently and swifty did the fiend work that the local police could find no clue to his identity. Finally anonymous letters began to arrive at houses in Great Wryley—letters threatening fresh outrages, and SIR ARTHUR Who created Sherlock Holmes and pro- Edalji To Die a Natural Death. An English tourist traveling in the North of Scotland, far away from anywhere, exclaimed to one of the natives: "Why, what do you do when any of you are ill? You can never get a doctor." "Nae, sir," replied Sandy. "We've just to dee a natural death!" When the church puts a much energy into realizing her ideals as she now does into picturing them, the world will be saved. the cattle slashing was repeated. Many of the land'owners got these letters and turned them over to the police, but still the authorities could find no clue. Among the persons who received letters at this time and turned them over to the police, was George Edajli, son of a Church of England clergyman, who was vicar of Great Wrytle. The elder Edajli was a Parsese, who had been educated in England, and had become Christianized. The son had道德ious youth, who had studied law after university course, and had obtained admission to the bar. Either because of racial prejudice against him, or because the police in their desire to run down the criminal grasped at any straw, the authorities determined to arrest George Edajli, because they detected a resemblance between his handwriting and that of the anonymous letter writer. They asserted that he had maimed him. GEORGE EDALJJ Hero of the remarkable case in which A. Conan Doyle proved himself the real Sherlock Holmes. neighbors' cattle because of fancied insults, and that he had written the anonymous letters and had included himself in the list of those threatened to avert suspicion. In vain the young man protested his innocence, and in vain his father, the vicar, swore that his son was in his own home on the nights when the outrages were committed. Public sentiment was against Edaljj; he was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison. Meanwhile there were many who believed that Edalji was the victim of a miscarriage of justice, and among these was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The more he thought of the peculiar conviction that the felt convinced that Edalji was made culprit. One day he made up his mind to go to Wolverhampton, where the CONAN POYLE, served himself great detective's peer in a case. A prominent Bostonian recently "put up" at his club a Chicago man bearing letters of introduction from a common friend. After dining, the two were lounging in the club library when the Bostonian chanced to ask: "By the way, what do you think of the 'Origin of Species?' " "Never read it," was the reply of the man from Chicago. "In fact, old man, I am not in the least interested in financial subjects." THE APPEAL. young man was imprisoned, and like his hero, Holmes, he acted on the spus of the moment, hurried to an express, and was soon on the scene of action. Bringing to bear the famous "Holmes," system of deduction," Sir Arthur went to work on the case with an energy that would have thrilled his hero's Bowell, "Dr. Watson." It had long before he had something to work with, and he clearly knew that Edalf could not have handled the crimes with which he was charged. It was a perfectly simple, yet apparently conclusive point. At his first meeting with Edalij the latter peered at him steadfast as though trying to see through a fog and when Sir Arthur extended his hand the young man groped for a moment in the air before he could grip the novelist's fingers. "Near-sighted," said the real "Sherlock Holmes," "almost blind." And such was the case. Edalij had been a close student all his days, and he did not realize that his eyes, never naturally strong, were growing weaker and weaker. Sir Arthur, himself a physician, ordered spectacles for his protege. Then, as he thought it over, he realized what his discovery meant. He had a man who was almost sightless, to whom the world applauded in a mist, steal across moor, bog and field on the darkest nights, creep upon horses in the pasture, or find his way into a stable, slash the animals after the manner of the Great Wryley feend, and then steal noiselessly away into the dark? How could such a man find his way over streams and ditches without a slip or a false step to betray him? If Sir Arthur had any doubt of his client's innocence, this development removed the last trace of it. Then began the battle between the real "Sherlock Holmes" and his theories, and the stern law which called for facts as loudly and as insistently. There were aneses for Sir Arthur; he was called "dreamer," "idle theorist" and even "crank." the order of home affairs, before whom he carried the case, snubbed the author-defective, and other government officials followed suit. But Sir Arthur had much of the public with him, and so great became the popular clamor that after Edalji had served three years, the home, secretary, Mr. Herbert Glastone, announced that the crown would "pardon" the young man. So Edalji got out of prison with a pardon, but not a vindication; he was free, but he could obtain no satisfaction for the years he had spent in jail. Sir Arthur's alder, then began a fight to clear his name and recover damages for false imprisonment. But the government was obdurate. A "pardon" was all Edalji could get. Then, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, came the news that the Great Wryley "lasher" was at work argon. And this time Edalji was a hundred miles away at the hour the outrages were committed. Sir Arthur had prophesied when he was arguing with the government, that the "slasher" would return, and that Edalji would then have an absolute alibi Time has vindicated his client. At last the officials made an arrest of a suspect at Wolverhampton. There wasn't anything very important about this arrest itself, for the prisoner is not supposed to be the man wanted, and Sir Arthur has a theory that Edalji was wrongly accused, and if did show absolutely that the police were ready to admit that Edalji had been wrongfully accused, and that Sir Arthur was right in his protestations of his client's innocence. That Edalji will get the compensation he seeks for false imprisonment and full restoration of his rights, no one doubts. Meanwhile Sir Arthur may prevail upon his friend, Dr Watson, to tell another story of the real "Sherlock Holmes." In an interview the other day on the Edalji case Sir Arthur said: "There is no doubt in my mind that the crimes of 1903 and 1907 were committed by the same man. When at Great Wryley, where by the way, no body knew me, I traced back the history of the whole miserable business to personal vengeance. For reasons which I need not go into there were two brothers who hated Edalji like poison. One of them is now dead; the other, who is still alive, appears to me, speaking as a medical man, to be a type of the malignant degenerate. "He undoubtedly is a madman. His particular mania might be called cruelty to animals. It is a sort of blood lust, and well known to students of theology of crime. It can be seen frequently in children who do flendish things to animals and birds." Should the Wolverhamton suspect prove his innocence it is quite likely that the police, now thoroughly humbled, will seek out Sir Arthur and take up his once despised theory of the madman, even as they indorsed his efforts by deciding to make the first arrest. It isn't alone the despondent lover who loses heart. The successful one must lose his, too. A professional humorist was having his boots blackened. "And is your father a boothblack, too?" he asked the boy. "No, sir," replied the boothblack; "my father is a farmer." "Oh, yes, replied the p. h., reaching for his notebook, 'he believes in making hay while the son shines'-"Judge Some girls are very sensitive because they imagine pouting is becoming to them.

MOST CRUEL OF CUTS "Sir 'Eneny' wife Wanted Her Boys to 'See a Real Hamlet.' A group of actors were comparing notes as to what, in their experience, had been the cruisier cut ever administered to an actor with regard to one of his own performances. Finally, after several stories had been told, an old English actor, who had been quietly listening to the other男士's storia, said: "I know this story is true because I happen to have been one of the few persons who saw the letter. When Edwin Kirk was famous engagement in London I was a member of his company. Mr. Booth and Henry Irving became fast friends, quite apart from the professional suppers and banquets which were given in Booth's honor, he and Irving used to have long chats in their dressing rooms after the performances. One night Booth, who was playing a short er bill, dropped in at Irving's theatre and sat in the English actor's dressing room while he was dressing for an arrived Irving and shortly after Booth arrived Irving, and a note which he handed to his master saying: "Mrs. Irving sent this up str." "Without glancing at the address Irving tore open the note and read it; then, with one of those gur mat surname ninies which often illuminised his face when something had occurred which hurt and yet amused him, he turned to Booth and said: 'Huh! My dear Booth, a thousand pardons. I see that his note from my wife has misread the note to Booth, read it. He passed the note to Booth, read it, ing, keeping the tail of his eye on the American, stood in front of the mirror arranging his tie. "The note from Mrs. Irving ran as follows. * "My Dear Mr. Edwin Booth: Might a mere woman ask a very great favor of you? Might I ask you to send me three stalls for next Tuesday night? There two sons, Lawrence and Henry, are from school just now, and before you have England I am most anxious that they should see a real Hamlet." THE TASMANIAN ABORIGINE Last of the Race—Discovery That Was Made Too Late. The visitor to Tasmania can have an experience that is novel—he can call on the last of the native race of the land. She is Trucanini, and she holds receptions in a glass case in the National museum. There is only the skeleton left, but judging from that she was a well organized little body of about four feet. The Tasmanian aborigine was a clean sort of person, moving every day so as not to have the dirt or ashes of yesterday in his camp. The mode was uncut hair for men, shaven heads for women. Both wore at times a necklace, and also on occasions tied a strip around the calves of their legs. They seemed to get along very well with the even though the whiters were cold. Then came the white man with his gun and his modesty. Between the gun and the blank blanket and some other clothes and the permanent shelter there was only one left in the entities, and she—Trucanini—died at about the age of seventy years in 1879, and her bones, well articulated and polished, stand in state to-day. When this face had disappeared the "paleozolic fellows" discovered that these Tasmanian aborigines were probably the world's only specimens of the people of the stockage. But the discovery came too late. The folk who had mixed up with them were not of the calfure to give the world a very good, to say nothing of reliable, record of the inner characteristics of this extra primitive people, or their traditional account of how black as the ace of spades, they got marroned on this isolated island. Their principal record left is that they did not worry—a fact from which it may be reasoned that bald heads and gray hairs were probably not known in the days when slabs of granite were legal tender.

New England Press Comments on Psychological and Political Questions Involved in Connection Presidential candidates on the Republican side cannot fail to note the earnestness with which the Boston Transcript and other New England journals size upon the fact that the Hon. George B. Cortelyou is a regular and discriminating consumer of pie at luncheon. Since the publication of details concerning the leading factors in Mr. Cortelyou's midday replay, the press of New England has been teaching with comment upon the psychological and political questions involved. Some Taukee papers insinuate that the public knows the launching of the Cortelyou presidential boom, while others think the revelation of Mr. Cortelyou's pie eating procivities makes him impo facto and par excellence, the New England candidate. From either point of view the pie discovery assumes political importance. "There may be much in this apparently simple fact," observes the Boston Transcript, with typical conservatism. Much? Decidedly much, when the truth is grasped that the it is mince pie that attracts the secretary of the treasury. From an "apparently simply fact" the discovery assumes aspects extremely complicated, obscure, and potential. The Boston paper does not fail to note that Mr. Cortelyou was a New England inerder in the period of his life, where he absorbed the history and influence of pie in character molding and nation building. The clam pie of Marblehead, that great breakfast food that has made its survivors indestructible in war and obstreperous in peace, is no stranger to George B. Cortelyou. Nor is he unacquainted with the pumpkin pie that sustained the Green mountain boys in many a scrimage. He knows and admires the voluptuous custard and the cranberry that coquethes under its crisscross mask. He has prosecuted many an investigation of the fair seeming but explosive huckleberry, and the apple, cherry, peach and prune have not prevailed against him. With the access of wider expertise, the period of his confidence, Mr. Cortelyou finds in the pie of pies, the protein, sable, and mysterious mince. In it he finds food for thought, intimations vague but inspiring, manifold memories and mysteries which bake while they stimulate his keen and analytical assault. Mince pie is the food of mature man. It is the cosmopolis of pie yielding treasures to the true lover of research, but completely bewildering the untutored. George B. Cortelyou'd devote to mince pie may make him the choice of New England for president, but it is unjust to insinuate that he is trying to reach the white house by the mince pie route. Mince pie has helped to make him what he is. He is not the man to turn his back if friends nor to use them as his ladder. He is recovering of his long association with the military honor, him political honor, it will be merely another piece of good fortune in a singularly fortunate man. He has not advertised his intimacy with mince pie, but, on the other hand, will that the truth is known, he will not desert the friend of the youth and the prop of his maturity. If he goes to the white house, mince pie will be honored there. "The prettiest woman in America," said Burne-Jones of Mrs. Warren C. Fairbanks, see Edith Cassidy of Pittsburg, and now. wife of Warren C. Fairbanks, the vice president's oldest son. Mrs. Fairbanks, Jr., ran down from the Fairbanks country place in Massachusetts to New York one day recently, looking bewitching in a gown of tallored white cloth, made with the long coat styles she affects. She explained her presence thus: "You see, dear mother (meaning Mrs. Fairbanks, wife of the vice president) is still too ill to assume the social duties of her position next fall, and as Mrs. Timmons, her daughter, can make to substitute for her charming mother, it is up to me to be chattelaine for the next winter. So I am bolstering up my gown by having some fetching new ones made here by my favorite modiste." Mrs. Fairbanks, accompanied by her small daughter, who already shows promise of her mother's beauty, has been spending the summer on the Fairbanks, farm in Massachusetts. Afable and lovable in disposition, it is anticipated that she will make a delightful hostess of the Fairbanks menage in Washington. Women's Government Service. The meeting驻站时, the staff in Washington has recommended that his private secretary, Miss Henrietta M. Kelly, be kept in the same places and her salary increased from $1,000 to $2,000 a year.

Beale, chief of the examining division in the bureau of engraving and printing. Both these women have been in the government, and are reeled their promotions on their mani-its and receive the full salary of their offices, $2,000 a year. | || ff eM a alo aus alii. ab al ran gas eh a ioe op Se Goes Tp Tye Apeenul Ap eo Le + tage co ek ) Co.

An exchange says: “From the reports of the closing hours of the Alabama legislature, printed in the Mobile Register, that right honorable body resolved itself into a howling mob of drunken idi- ots, with which the reporters for the daily papers were ashamed to associ- ate. And these drunken debauchers are the people that we should honor! Any paper that criticises the degen- erates who thus disgrace themselves and degrade civilization should be Promptly suppressed.” And every one of those “drunken idiots” can’ make your hair stand on end by descanting upon the depravity of the Afro-American, The leniency shown by the author- ities to great criminals no doubt ac- counts for much of the crime which is committed in the United States. ‘The Chicago Tribune mentions an in- stance as follows: “The Negro, Walton, who mur- dered Mrs, Grant last week, was re- La S fm tae ; See la : ne fd oe 5 o i } ha Met ae HON.

He was,sent there in 1909 to serve an indeterminate term of from one to fourteen years. If he had been allowed to serve out his term Mrs, Grant would: be alive, and the Chicago police would not be hunting blindly for the murderer, following up “clews” which the public is as- sured will lead to an immediate ar- rest, bat which lead nowhere.” If the case of this villain/had led to race war, as it is called, in wMich a number of Afro-Americans lost their lives, would not these imbecile “authorities” be largely responsible? THE APPEAL notices a Winni- peg dispatch showing an estimated shortage of several thousand men for harvesting the wheat crop of west- ern Canada, which had “caused 40 per cert of the men to quit work” on the Grand. Trunk Pacific for 120 miles between Portage La Prairie and Miniota. But it has not seen any argument as to the worthlessness of white laborers based upon the condi- tion of things, such as is so common when a similar condition prevails. in Dixie. WHY NOT SWAP? Los Angeles: A project to estab- lish a large colony of Negroes in Southern California is being promot- ed by.an association which is about to seek state incorporation. One of the promoters is Lieut, Col. Allens- worth of this city, formerly a’ chap- lain in the United States army. Sev- eral million dollars is said to repte- sent the wealth of the Negroes back of the movement. The. significance of the above is that if the project succeeds out Southern brethren will be still short er of labor. It seems that California wants the Afro-American laborer, while the Southern man wants to gt rid of him. Why cannot a fair. swap be made under the circumstancts— California sending her Japs, Chinese and Hindoos down South and_ the South sending her Afro-Americans to California? In most states south of the Mason and Dixon line a condition of slavery exists far worse than that which pre- vailed prior to the Civil War. Men are herded into insanitary camps, compelled to work out debts they are forced to contract, prevented by armed guards fram leaving the neigh- borhood where they are employed, subjected to brutal treatment, which soon wears them out, and are only released when the job is finished or they are too weak to be of further service.

The strongest evidence THE AP- PEAL has seen of the wonderful progress which civilization is making in the United States is the fact that Jackson, the metropolis. of Breathitt county, Kentucky; is to be illuminat- ed by clectric lights. It i8 interesting to learn that this improvement was brought about as follows? : Under the “Hargis-Callahan domi- nation there were no street lights at all. tt was often necessary to wait for broad daylight to get a bead’ on a marked man. As. the Louisville Courier-Journal remarks; “Of course, there were ‘moonlight nights when a man might be hit if a shotgun could be conveniently secured; but moon- light baif revealing, half concealing, the target is misleading, and there is always the danger of, mistaken iden- tity and filling an old and tried friend with your buckshot.” As the editor of THE APPEAL is a native Kentuckian, be gad! sir,. he is highly elated over the exhilarating tidings from his old Kentucky home. “DEBAUCHERY OF THE.

But everybody knows that that debauchery, if it did not originate in the efforts to eliminate the vote of the Afro-American ‘by the South, was greatly promoted thereby, so that the whole South is reaping a harvest of its own sowing. It has beén taught that it was a most patriotic and com- mendable thing to defraud the Afro- American of his right to vote, at the expense of training up a whole gen- eration of mien having very little seruple against defrauding anybody. ee ann TS ss es ae ee |] POONI NA LRimAnnAYyAb) 0 0.UlhUlUlU ee we, Pe | NCONMUWMINoUo , wee Og a J Berroa Fund wall, Bacetsie eens sence: ALM, Speed, Peoterte, In Bes ities, Minneapolis-and St" Paul, and the Twin Cities at the head of <M Be tee |, the Great Lakes, Dulltn and Supetior, now under eotstevetion, end °c es | “offer you in this cut a photograph “as best evidence” showing | <<a .

Words of wisdom from the Twin City & Lake Superior Railway Company's literature. BENEVOLENCE is that quality of being which, when given expression, injures no man, destroys not his good name or fame in the community wherein he resides, beggars not his business, nor creeps maliciously into his social life. Few have it; all expect it. It comes with independence. Independence comes with a feeling of security and safety. To enjoy these best of life's blessings, own Twin City & Lake Superior Railway Company's stock. Legislatively sound, corporatively safe, legally secure. 345 Railway Building, Minneapolis, Minn.

YOUTH in trouble, like an unadvised investor who is in doubt as to the value of the Twin City & Lake Superior Railway Company's stock as an investment, is very apt to place its young or inexperienced arms about the neck of age, mistaking it for wisdom. Knowledge does not 'always with age; no more does folly with youth, those two play strange pranks and oftimes change abodes. Youth, garbed in age, borrowed from scar and frosted times, deceases life's spring to take its home 'mid fall's fading foliage and life's decay, while gambling glossems with painted faces and tinkling bells, is toothless age. 345 Railway Building, Minneapolis, Minn.
