tives. The two missing "gunmen," so
long sought for the limiter of Herman
Rosenthal, are now at police head-
quarters, Manhattan, and there is no
doubt of their identity.
The two men neve arreeted in com-
pany with their wives and a visiting
pickpocket in a flat which they furnieh-
ed about August 15, and when they
were eovered with the revolvers of the
police their only eomment Was "Oh, put
up your guns; we won't make no trou-
ble.",
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough-
eety admitted waist:et: that at 2 o'elock
on Saturday afternoon he had no ex..
potation that his. nearly two months'
lettient, tireless teeareh for the elusive
pair was to be ended. He had certain
clues whieh might locate the men, but
whether those clues applied to New
York City, Portland, Maine; Phi
phia, Chicago or .Boaton he could not
eeiy. The eines, it is now known, were
"the. men were living eonefoetably in
the same building; their windows look-

building, which was called the Brighton,

residing in the neighborhood in. which
the apartment was located."
It then became Commissioner Dough-
erey'a task to diseover somewhere a
hand laundry in proximity to a moving
picture show in a vicinity inhabited by
people of the nationalities named. The
poexibte name of the laundry was ob-
tained less than two dap; ago.
New York City was covered to -day
by every policeman on its force with
orders to look for buildings which
wordd meet the requirements- of the
elues, and to Detective Prank. Caeassa,
Dovegherty's own staff, fell the honei:
ef finding the icatr-etorey flat house- at
7titt %Vocal -ward. avenue, whin is near
the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, a
loeulity where men like "Lefty Louie"
er "Gyp the Blood" would not likely
be noticed. Casesse found a building
with "The New Brighten Hand Laura

;ehow; around in the neighborhood were
eigns of groters and tailors, indicating
that there were both Swedes and Ger-

The 1' ear did not go to 756 Wood-

ed. 'safely nearby and a skirmish line
was sent out. A few other men soon
after joined and they were sent to the
stront at once. They knew the men

were sent to watch. Nobody vas by
any means sure at this time the men
were anywhere in the neighborhood.

earner, where she entered the go -

That went to Dougherty and he call-

BORJER WATERS
International Conrail s s ion
Will Investigate Case.
TO MEET AT OTTAWA
Appalling F igures of Ty-
phoid Rate.
'Washington, Sept. Govern -
merits cat the 'United States and the
Dominion or Canada have referred to
the International Joint Ccimmissiou
by identical letters of instruction, for
investigation, the question of pollu-
tion of boundary waters, The (mete
tions laid before the Conunission are
as follows:
"1. To what extent and by what
causes and in what localities have the
boundary waters between the United
States and Canada been polluted so
as to be injurious to the public health
and unfit for domestic or other uses?
"2. In what way or manner, whe-
ther by the construction and opera-
tion of suitable • drainage canals or
plants at convenient potato or other-
wise, is it possible and advisable to
remedy or prevent the pollution of
these waters and by what means or
arrangement can the proper eonstruc-
tion or operation of remedial or pre-
ventive works, or a system or method
of rendering these waters sanitary
and suitable for domestic and other
uses, be best secured and maintained
in order to insure the adequate pro-
tection and development of all inter-
ests involved on both sides of the
boundary, and to fulfill the obligee
tion e undertaken in Article IV. of the
Waterways Treaty of January 11,
1909, between the United States and
Great Britain, in. which It is agreed
that the waters • therein, detailed as
boundary waters and waters flowing
across the boundary shall not be pol-
luted on either side to the injury of
health or property on the other?"
The Commission will hold its regu-
lar fall meeting at Ottawa, Canada,
beginning October 1.
MILLIONS ARE AFFECTED.
The boundary waters between the
United States and Canada extend
from Cornwall on the St. Lawrence
River to the Lake of the Woods, a
distance of more than 2,000 miles,
and on. the American side of that
boundary there are more than 5,000,-
000 people living in cities with a pop-
ulation of 25,000 anu upward, while
there are also many growing cities
on the Canadian side of the water-
line which promise to develop into
considerable centres of population
with the development of water pow-
er at Niagara Palls and many other
points. These cities on both sides of
the boundary take their water sup-
ply from the Great Lakes and the
rivers which form the boundary, and
they also utilize the same boundary
waters for the disposal of their sew-
age. This situation, together with
the location of Montreal, Quebec, and
other Canadian cities on the St. Law-
rence, which is the outlet of the whole
lake region, promises to develop an
international problem of no inferior
character in the near future, and the
two Governments have determined to
utilize the International Joint Com-
mission to try to find, a way to set-
tle that problem before it becomes
one for international representation.
APPALLING FIGURES.
To see just what the typhoid death
rate of Niagara Falls means it is well
to compare it with that of other cities.
The typhoid death rate in cities of
the world per 100,000 in. 1908 was:
London, 5; Edinburgh, 2: Paris, 8;
Copenhagen, 7; Stockholm, 1; Chris.
tionia, 2: Berlin, 4; New York, 12.3;
Chicago, 15.3; St, Louis, 15.3; Cleve-
land, 12.6; Rochester, 11.9; Syracuse,
15.4. Along the boundary waters the
death rate of Oswego, 49.8; Ogdens.
burg, ea.5; North Tonawanda, 34.1;
Tonawanda, 31.5; Rome, 21.7; Buf-
falo, 27; Niagara Falls, 129.1, was
the average typhoid death rate for
tae 10 years from 1808 to 1908. The
typhoid death rate of Niagara Falls
in 1906 was 184.4, and in 1907, 222.4.
HUGHES'. SPEECH
Canada's Militia Minister
at Launching.
London, Sept. 15. -Col. Sam Hughes
made a characteristic speech at the
launching of the new battleship
Audacious on Saturday. "If," he said,
"you in this Christian and wholly civ-
ilized country have to guard against
those who liionld violate law and or-
der, why sh.ouid we not expect to find
a similar spirit displayed amongst the
nations of the earth? 1 don't look
for petite in this world unless we are
prepared to bold our own against
that world. Theret'ore, as a Canadian,
holding a position in. the Cabinet, 1
say that when the motb.erland is in
trouble the Dominions will again be
at her back. (Cheers).
"Tho is one great regret I have
to -day. selendio, ship has been
launched, but the British taxpayer
alone foots the bill. My regret is
that Canadians, Australians, New Zea -
leaders and South Africans are not
all joining hands with the mother-
land in footing the bill. (Mere).
"Pessimists," the Colonel went on to
say, "said that the Binpire and the
Dominions tannot hold .together. They
are wrong. Some claim that the old
British Flinpire is going .clown. Well,
1 have knocked around a good deal,
to use. a Canadian expression, and I
find a good deal of virility in the
old land yet. We have witnessed the
splendid nituflOenvre ol the troone,
and 1 want to tell yoti they are just
as stern and rugged as in the days of
Wellington or the Crimea, The old
stock, whether at home or in tho
Dominions, will always be found
ready." (Loud cheers.)

in the cottntry has been seriously dani.
aged, if not ruined, by the persistent
mine, it is eot surprising that a, bishop
has raised. the question .of "Meat we
to pray for fine weather?" •
in a, letter to the rural deans of his
diocese the Bishop of Chester diseueses
the appropriatness of harvest festivals
in etch it season.
"The persistent ruins whieh have dam-
aged our crops," says the bishop. "cannot
but revive the old questione. in such a
year is it wise to hold harvest festivale?
Can we meet farmers to give speeiel
thanks when they have so little to be

the Dominion Government to institute
1.1te necessary legal machinery for the
administering of the marriage contract

turned into electrical energy, we wish
to urge that the Federal and Provincial
Parliaments be asked to conserve all
water power and coal lands not at pres-
ent traken up by corporations, and that
municipalities be asked to join the Gov-
ernments of the various Provinces in
bringing about this public ownership,. so
that the power, light, telephone and all
other accessories thereto be brought
down to a cheaper rate, and thereby cot
down the high cost of production, and,
therefore, the high cost of living, in a
great many respects."

JAMAICA'S FUTURE
Will It be Dependency of
United States?
New York -A cable to the Tribune
from London says:
Jamaica's probable future as a .de-
pendency of the United States has
a prominent position in. The Morning
Post. A gentleman who is closely
connected with Jamaica says that so
far as the sentimental side is con-
cerned it is unfortunately true that
the younger generation of whites and
educated tiegroes believe that the
prosperity of the island lies in the
direction of a commercial union with
the United Statese.
Even political union they regard
with complacency, unless Great Bri-
tain adopts a policy of colonial pre-
ference and thereby assists the West
Indies. The increasing production of
sugar, coffee, cocoa, etc., offers no
alternative to the ever-increasing cry
for association with the United
States, either by reciprocity or by a
political union or at least closer
connection with Canada.
An addidona.1 impetus to the move,
ment toward the United States may
arise upon the completion of the
Panama Canal. Old West Indian
planters says that the growth of
feeling in Jamaica, in favor of Am-
erica is only natural, but that a pre-
ferential treatment would restore the
allegiance of Jamaicans to Great
Britain.
