Cassa joined "the police force twen ty-five years ago, and after eleve: years on patrol duty, was transferrei to the Detective Bureau. McKenna was assigned to the De tective Bureau at about the same tim< and the men decided to specialize ii the apprehension of pickpockets an< safe blowers. Within a short tim< their work in running down sucl criminals produced such good result: that it was admitted at Police Head quarters that the two detectives wer< fixtures in that branch of the Polic( Department. When pickpocKets were reaping i "harvest" among the visitors to the Panama-Pacific Exposition in Sar Francisco in 1915 the police there made a special request that Casasa be loaned to them to round up the criminals. ; Casassa had a standing assignment to guard Presidents Roosevelt, Taft cotton meh to com INSIST THAT SOME WAY TO CONTROL INSECT PEST WILL BE FOUND?FEAR TENDING AMONG SMALL FARMERS TO QUIT AND LEAVE COTTON BELT Vicksburg, Miss., Sept. 24.? Throughout the cotton growing South ex-Governor Richard I. Manning of South Carolina and Alfred H. Stone of Dunlith plantations, Mississippi, are considered among the best informed and most conservative cotton planters in the eleven States that comprise the great Ameri :an coiton belt. Both are lifelong panters and both for years have been students of the boll weevil problem, i problem that both frankly state is me of the most serious that has ever :onfroYited the people of the Sou-, ;hem States, but, like nine' out of ?n of all the prominent persons ;onnected with the cotton-planting ndustry with whom The New York rimes correspondent has talked in iho last etn davs. Governor Manninc md Mr. Stone are convinced that, lomehow, or other, the cotton-growng S^uth will in the end find a way o control devastations of this extensive Mexican insect. y In his office in Columbia Governor ianning said he was glad that The ["imes was printing the facta regardrig the, boll weevil crisis, for cotton 10 per cent, of which was exported ri normal times, had too long been onsidered a purely Southern proportion when it was beyond all quesion one of the great national asets of the United States, and the 011 weevil problem must in the end e considered from a national viewoinfc. Governor Manning is convinced hat perhaps for several years to ome the South will have to nlant a reatly reduced cotton acreage, not 3 limit the supply to bring about inreased prices, but in order that the armers may fight the boll weevil in fie only way he now considers effecive. In olden days a farmer could lant a maximum acreage, and when otton was approaching maturity nd the weevil was not waiting to estroy it as soon as the squares and oils began to form, the plant would ike care of itself. But under boll eevil conditions, Governor Maning maintains, a farmer can grow nly so much cotton as he and his imily and those in his employ can evote all of +V>pir nt+ontirm Viic iew being that the greater the acre?e the greater the probable infesition and, therefore, and in proortion, the greater the loss that will >l)ow as the result of the ravages of le pest. * i Governor Manning said it might i ; necessary before the problem was j dved to reduce the acreage to one- 1 tird of what it was in normal non- 1 >11 weevil times. i r HURLS HOT PORX AT ROBBE 8 Boston.?Hot roast pork and 5 > pie sauce sa?ed James Tompkin's 1 lantic Avenue sea grill from a ho >, up late today, when pointing a i. volver at Tompkin's stomach, t e men commanded him to throw e his hands. Tompkins was serving !- customer. He complied with in sin i- tions by dashing the order into o d bandit's face and dived out an op side window. . > John TTaverton and William Thn - son, unemployed seamen, were i rested after a chase and charg - with attempting to rob the gi ii while armed with a dangerous w< 3 pon. r-f - and Wilson when they came to tl e city, and also was sent to Washjngt i to aid in the arrest of pickpockets 1 the inauguration of the tfiree Pre e dents. 1 In the twenty-five years of his s< 5 vice in the Police Department Cast " sa arrested more than 10,000 crin - nals. His decision to retire from t J force on a pension was reached the beginning of the year after Coi i missioner Enright relieved him frc i the work of running down pjckpoc i ets and gunmen and assigned him ! ordinary detective duty in the We s Thirtieth Street Station. Among tho arrested by him were "Dago Frai and "Lefty Louie," two of the gu ; men who participated in the killii ; of Herman Rosenthal. iEXPECT 1UER WEEVIl Governor Manning, who has ke] in close touch witli the boll wee\ situation throuhgout the cotton bel agrees with the Federal experts thi the weevil probably will complete tl infestation of the cotton grower section of the country in 1922. E cites Berkeley County, S. C., as a example of the ejftent of the deva tation in certain sections of ti South where ,low temperatures ai practicaly unknown and abnormal] (wet summers are common. Befoi the boll weevil arrived in Sodt Carolina Berkeley was in an 18,00 bale county. Thia year it will pn duce only about 1,000 bales, i "What we must do above a things," said Governor Manninj "is to avoid anything approaching panic. Already many of our peopleand 1 am referring to our farmershave become greatly alarmed an are ready to quit, and unless th land owners of the cotton State realize the importance of this prot lem their tenants will go somewher else. The same applies also to th thousands upon thousands Nof smal farmers who own their land and wh form the most important part of th backbone # of the cotton-growinj South. "Furthermore, the time has com* when there must be organization t< protect the situation, and in Soutl Carolina we have started a move ment for the organization of th< most influential citizens in each o: the counties,. who will advise witl all land owners and tenants. Thes< committees will advise the reductioi of the cotton acreage and the "plant ing of such other crops as the far mers can grow, the preferable crop! being such as will enable the farme] to feed himself and family, witl possibly enough left over to dispost :>f, we hope, at a profit. "Under 'boll weevil conditions, anc those conditions now confront us, il is folly for a man to put into cottor more acres than he and his family, and perhaps a hired man or two, car properly care for. It is a battle 'between the farmer on the one hand and the most destructive pesl known to man on the other hand, and it stands to reason that toy limiting the size of the field" by operations the chances of victory for the farmer will increase In proportion to the extent of the curtailment. "In normal times the cotton production of the South averaged from 12,000,000 to about 15,000000 bales. Rofnro +V10 mfocfofiAn a# nnff Ar> belt iby the boll weevil, when there was a shrinkage of 1,000,000 or 2,000,000 bales in the crop, the result was a serious situation and with a possible reduction of the crop to 7,000,000 bales, or less, you can realize what it means to this country for after all?and I am inclined to believe the country is beginning to ealize the fact?cotton is a national ind not a local Southern asset." RS MYSTERY OF PYRAMID OF GIZAH UNSOLVED ap- __ Kt- From London Answers. Id- The Great Pyramid of Gizah has re- always been considered one of ,the wo "seven wonders of the world." How up it came to be built and the objects r a of its construction are alike mysterinc ous. ne Various theories exist?that it was ien great tomb; a storehouse for hidden valuables and archives granary; nc n?+rrr?rirt'm1/*5jl />or>c?T^To+-/vr-fr **+/? ar_ How the enormous stones of which it :ed is built could have ever been lifted -ill into place is another marvel; and ja. various theories have again been adanced by way of explanation. " There are also numbers of most ^ odd and curious coinciences in conon nection with this structure. Thus, if lines be drawn through the land sursi_ faces of l?th hemispheres, it is said that the intersection of these lines >r_ will be directly over the Great Pyraj mid. The structure orients exactly . north, south, east and west. i The number of "pyramid inches," . if calculated as miles, give the exact in ? distance between the earth and the! n_ sun; between the Equator and the im , North Pole, etc. Further ,it i? said, to that the pyramid gives, theoretically ^ .the exact measurement, the exact ge relationship between the diameter ? and circumference of a circle. One great mystery concerning the Great Pyramid is this: For hunig dreds of years the pyramid remained unopened. When it was finally t boken into, about 1,000 A. D., and a passage discovered leading to the king's chamber, a- stone coffin was r found in the room. But the coffin was empty?the body had vanished and the lid lay broken upon the floor.
