Mulrooney Is a rather quiet man, but, when he Is In the mood, one of the most interesting talkers I know. He has a keen, observing mind, a thorough understanding of police problems and the relation between the force and the public, a tremendous knowledge of human nature, and a grand sense of humor. Why shouldn't he have with a name such as Mulrooney? The policing of a city such as New York calls for a commissioner with strength and Judgment, and Mulrooney has both. I imagine he can be pretty firm and co^Ef on occasion; but you can't talk to the man long without hearing the beat of the warm Irish heart in him. You may suspect that I like Mulrooney, and I do. Maybe it is because we both are old-fashioned enough to like big league baseball better than midget golf and agree that the big Frenchman, - Larry Lajoie, was the most graceful player we ever saw. • • * "Who would have supposed," says Commissioner Mulrooney, "that you ever would see a Tom Thumb golf course on Fiftieth street? It makes you think that Manhattan real estate may not be so valuable after all. But they are keeping these courses open a little late. I think an ordinance will be passed to close them at 1 a. m. That's late enough for any golfer to get home. These places are getting to need a little regulation." • * * I said that Mulrooney had a sense of humor. He also has a sense of drama. He can tell you stories that would keep you listening for hours, and he always holds his suspense and drops his curtain on the big thrills. I asked him whether good detective work--he once was head of the detective bureau--was not mainly perseverance, courage and common sense. Fie said a fine detective must have more than that, one of his greatest qualifications being the ability to put himself in the other man's place and, from that angle, figure his line of thought He illustrated his point • • • "We got word," said Mulrooney, "that an embezzler, who was badly wanted, was heading for New York on a railroad with its terminal in New Jersey. That meant he would have to come in on a train ferry, so we covered them all. Those were the days of horses; It was before taxicabs had come in. We had received such short notice that by the time the detective who went to the Twenty-third street ferry got there, the boat he wanted to meet was In and the passengers gone. He knew all the hackmen, but that wasn't going to get him anything. They were a tough lot and It was not In their code to help a cop. Still he asked them if they had driven anywhere a man such as he described. No, they had seen no such man. What with handling bags and the confusion of a boat crowd, they had not time to take note of people they drove. • • • "It was then," continued Mulrooney, "that the man showed real qualities as a detective. " 'I'm sorry I' he exclaimed. 'I certainly did want to get that feljow. It's a shame he got away.' " 'What did he do?' asked on« Of the hackmen. "The detective knew that If he explained the man made off with a lot of dough the hackmen would wish him all the luck in the world, so he used a bit of imagination. •"The dirty skunk!' said the hackman- 'Now that I come to think of it, I do remember a man like that one you describe. The driver who took him isn't back yet, but he'll be back in a minute and we'll find out where he went. You wait.' ,• "So the detective waited. Sure enough, the driver returned and all the hackmen gathered around him, as eager as the detective for news of his fare. When he heard the details, he took the "detective In his hack and made good time to a hotel. There was the man, who soon was on his way to the police station. The hackman certainly had done their bit in the capture, but they had actej) under, a slightly mistaken impression. "You see," concluded Mulrooney, "the detective hadn't mentioned embezzlement. He told them that the man had murdered his old mother and cut off her head with a razor." (& 1*30. Bell Syndicate.) Girl DUd U J r ; Green by Farmer. Charlton, Iowa.--A tragedy of the highway in which a young woman lost her life is kept ever green in thememory of K. O. Millen, aged farmer, *eho lives near here, for every morning since September 14 >e has placed a bouquet on the spot where Miss Agnes Smillie, of Williamson, died from injuries suffe<fed in an automobile accident * In the early hours of September 11, Miss Smillie, together with John Fuller, Lena Stewart and David McNeish, were returning home from a dance the Chariton Gun club. In front of Mr. Millen's home a black cat dashed In front of the car driven by McNeish. Rather than run down tjie omen of bad luck, McNeish swerved the car and it tumbled over Into the ditch. Millen heard screams, clothed himself and rushed to the roadside to give aid. He found Miss Smillie in the ditch fatally injured. He picked her up with the intention of carrying her into his home to give her aid, but she died in his arms. On September 14 the funeral cortfege bearing Miss Smillie's body passed the Millen residence on its way to Albia for burial. Mr. Millen went to his flower gardeti, prepared a large bouquet and placed It on the spot beside the road where the girl was injured. Every morning since he has paid the same tribute to her memory.

Magistrate Murphy asked the woman, who had begged and collected tinfoil on East Side streets, if she had any money. "Plenty," she replied, briskly, and from her worn clothing and from bundles she carried she extracted several cloth bags and dumped their contents on a desk. There were sheafs of banknotes and hundreds of sUver colas, amounting to $2,000. The woman was held without balJ for investigation and sentence. She said she had been hoarding the money to enable her to return to Russia, having lost all desire to live In America after the death of her husband and three children.
