liCNOpX- Feb. 13.-(8iieclal.) -There la
ink u in tendon of whom the police are
thoroughly afraid. Strange t say, he la a
talkir.l His name la James Tlmewell, and
lin half fought more policemen than any
body elae In Rngland. IHirlng the last two
yours (Tlmewell baa been mixed up In no
lesa than thirty-five proetcutlons brought
against the I-ondon police, with results most
disastrous to th fdrce. In fact, It was
through his efforts that ' a royal commis
sion recently ,aat" on the- force in more
si'iisea than one. The flndinga of the com
mission, though whitewashing the police
generally, - pohitcd .to-severe abueea of eu
tlurltf; aivd had the Investigation not been
reatricrd to "Vases of drunkenness, dis
order and solicitation In the streets," the
report of the commission would have been
a hlglily fce:catknal document. ,
T! p niodc-4'n La id. fighting the Oollallt
of MJlhirlty, has brought many a police
man to ice for mercy; aeut several to
prisjri; dltg raced others, and generally
raised such ructions with the force that
they jirefor ,t gt e him a wide berth.
.' Fla;fclagr rollea 1.1 le Wark.
r8htln the 'pollco Is Tlmewtll a life
work, ,11a Is a very email man. and most
of the' London poll. -a are great, strapping
fellow, and yet Tlmewell thinks no mora
of tackling thera than if they wera ao
tntiiy children. Of course, he does not give
them a physical trouncing, but lie admin
latere Jh "Tlmewell knockout," which la
far mora effective and muvH more dreaded
than any corporeal punishment.
Hare ;is an Instance of his method. Not
long ago Tlmewell chancad to be In a crowd
not far from his little tailor shop, 141
flower street, aad saw a policeman roughly
handling soma one whom ha had taken
prisoner. In Tlmewell's opinion the police
man was treating his man with undue
violence. aV he followed the crowd to the
police station aad tried to enter the charge
room, but was barred by. other policeman.
On Inquiry Tlmewell ascertained that the
man was being fcadly treated by tha police
man becauaa be caught the officer having
a glaaa of beer, and drew the attention
of one of lila frlenA lot he fact. The police
rian "ran him In" for spying on tha police.
This was Juat the kind of a case lo which
Tmuiwoll delight,- so he engaged a lawyer
to defend the man. Kvldence of the most
overwhelming character was brought
against the policeman and. finally, the
liHsoner was liberated and the fake charge
which had . been brought against the' man
for assault was Judiciously dropped, as
the police began to realise that in dealing
with the little dower street tailor they
had caught a Tartar. The policeman was
degraded and finally dismissed.
Mlsase ( Police Power.
"I am quite sure," said Tlmewell, tn de
scribing this last case, "that the general
public lias no conception whatever as to
the misuse of power by the London police.
They are supposed to be tho finest body
of men In the woild today, and yet, from
my personal knowledga of tlicm, I consider
the London pollcenien.under the present
system, a positive threat to the liberty of
the subject Why, it has come to auch
a pass, that the police are actually banded
together in a defensive organisation agalnat
the public. If one of them gets Into
trouble, alt the rest are expected to stand
by him, and woe betide the policeman who
la not willing to go even to the extent of
perjury In order to clear the reputation of
a brother officer.
"I know actual caaea where policemen
have, under oath, committed perjury.. Some
ot these cases I have managed to bring
to light, but a prosecution aialnst the
police la a veiy coetly affair, and
besides this. It Is more or leas
dangerous. In a recent esse In which I
hava been Instrumental In bringing perjury
charges agalnat tha police. on man a per
ffctly Innocent citizen -was taken off hU
own doorstep and sent to prison for a
month on a quite groundless charge, while
another man, wholly unacquainted wltii
him. Waa arrested on a charge of attempt
ing to 'reacuo' the man from the police.
The whole case, from beginning to end,
was an entire fabrication on the part of
the policemen, one of whom waa too drunk
to report to the station, and had to create
or manufacture a 'row' In order to account
for hia loas of lime.
Blarksaall Is Charged.
"It ia not only In Interfering with the per
sonal liberty of the subject that the police
go to such lengths, but their field of activi
ties extenda In many other directions. I
know of rases where they extract what la
nothing more or leaa than blackmail tribute
from verioua houses of 111 fame, gambling
resorts and aimilar evil places. I have
heard of several membera of the force
even In high places making as much as
$JoU a month from such Institutions. It is
surely time that tha British publie awoke
to these fac.ta.
"I regard the condition of the London po
lice today as one ot the moat serious public
dangers and. unlesa the cltlsens arouae to the
true condition, the Uvea of Londoners will
be In the handa ot K.etio men who are
banded together by a system ot holdup and
blackmail. Kvldence Ss manufactured de
liberately by the police and )nnrlr.! of
false charges ore constantly being brought.
"I might, however, mention, with some
satisfaction, that during the last two years
pollen arrests have fallen off to the ex
tent of some 30,000 as compared to previous
years, and I attribute this vary largely to
the stand which I and our organisation
the Police and Public Vigilance aociety-r
have taken. I might also add that I have
myself been so far Immune from police at
tack owing to the tact that I have made
very powerful friends with aome of the
highest and most Influential people In Eng
land, and many of my friends are among
policemen themselves the better class of
whom are entirtly against the tactics of
the men who are hringlng the police of
London into such disgrace."
Black Sheep Aasoas; God.
It may be said with truth that the gen
eral ,run of the London police are splendid
men, but there are a number of black
sheep among them, and It 'is these that
Tlmewell ia constantly gunning for. Time
well himself seems to lead a charmed lire.
8o far he has managed to remain outside
the clutches of the law, though no doubt
there are many of the police, both officers
and men, who would like to put htm safely
behind prison bars.
He has been too much In the open as a
fighter, however, for the police to touch
lam,, and so he keeps on making trouble
for "coppers" who resort to practices not
In the strict line of constabulary duty.
These "dl'gracea to the force," as Time
well calls theni. are actual menaces to the
public, and the little tailor la devoting a
very strenuous part of hla otherwise mo
notonous life to the work of showing them
up on every possible occasion. He ia also
firmly convinced that in many English
prisons there are persons wrongly convicted,
brought there by the machinations of the
police and kept there for fear of the public
scandal that would arise in caae of their
liberation. The now famous caae of Adolph
Beck was, in his opinion, one of police con
sptrscy. pure and simple.
Klght Made for Slaasa.
One of the strange featurea of Tlmewell's
crusade is that be haa taken up the fight
against the police, cot on behalf of well-to-do
prisoners who might be badly treated,
but "Tor the benefit of the rough element
wtosn life is spent in tha slums. These
people, according to Time well, are naturally
brut alued by their surroundings, and th;y
should be treated with especial considera
tion by the police. If Ulsy resist arrest
as they often do thay should be taken to
the station, not through the public streets
and with the usual exhibition of brute
force, but by means of "blaok-mariaa." In
London fractious prisoners are occasionally
strapped to ambulances anil carried through
the streets, but not often.
While Timewrll believes that tha police
in making arrests ahould not allow prison
ers to give them too much trouble, he
thirka culprits should be taken to prtsoa
In the most humane manner possible.
Brtttsllty on the part of the police, espe
cially lit districts where tiie rougher ele
ment lives, only calls for more brute force
on the part of the populace. In rcugli
neighborhoods, no matter how dlsreputuble
the characters might be, Timewell claims
that they are entitled to every considera
tion on tlie part of the police, because thoae
petpla have been made what they are by
their underpaid toil and sordid lives. On
this point Tlmewell In the course of our
conversation a!d:
' Protect Poor .-.-em Police.
"My object is not to protert people of
good ?ocinl stnntlhig an.l frroprcachalilt
conduct, who are comparative !y scfe from
police violence, but to prevent people who,
being v.-ry poor, live In bad neighborhoods
and are habitually coarte. rough, rathei
foul-mouthed, not Invariably sober and oc.
caalonally disorderly, from being still
further demoralized by unnecessary and Il
legal bullying and violence in their con
flicts with the authorities.
"It must not be forgotten," he continued,
"tl:at audi people form a very, large part
of the population of London and that a
great deal of the ccmparatlvr refinement
and decency of the reat of us ia supported
by the Incessant and 111 paid bodily drudg
ery that roughens and coarsens thc-.n."
Stmdlrg almost alone In the advocacy of
these principles Timewell has courted
trouble and found plenty of It. Rome of
his auvrnturea read Ilk tales from V-n
Quixote, For Instance, one nhjht lie anj
his daughter wi re walking in Newlnglon
taustwsy-a rough section of South Lon
donand they came upon four policemen
carrying to the station a man by a method
called the frog march, which ccnslsta In
bending the arms back snd makjrg the mun
walk with his fuce toward the ground
Evidently It ia a most uncomfortable way
of walking, but it appears to be an ex
tremely effective manner of dealing with
persons who object to going quietly along
with the police.
Tlmewell and his daughter regarded the
police on this occasion as treating their
prisoner with great harshness, and. though
varloua people In the crowd tried to dia
siad the little tailor from Interfering, he
did not hesitate to tell the police what lie
thought of them. Furthermore, he and his
daughter accompanied the muii to the po
lice station. The police In 1-ondon could
not prevent him from lodging hia protest.
He remained in tha station several hours
and happened to be present when the med
ics! officer administered to tit prisoner,
prostrated from the handling he had re
ceived from the police, a strong electilo
shock. In order to bring hliu to hia senses
a gentle little way occasionally employed
In police atationa. Against thia form of ad
ditional maltreatment Timewell also
atrotigly protested, and finally left the
scene, saying he would bring the four po
licemen to justice.
By dint of peraateut efforts the little
tailor managed to raise by public subacrlp
tlon J&S as a defens fund for the prisoner.
Out or this little case which might be
termed an ordinary "drunk anct disorderly"
there arose quite a furore, and the little
Gower street tailor awoke one morning to
find himself not only famous, but also much
sought after by the police. Several at
tempts were made to get him to withdraw
his proceedings against the four policemen,
but he refused, and finally their trial took
place. They were, of course,' whitewashed
and acquitted, but this trial led to so mo
very important results. It proved that
Tlmewell had a fa lily good rase made out,
ar tliougii he lost it. It directed public at
tuiulon lo the police and their me:hods.
. The r.-cently ruhllshed report of the Royal
Commits Ion on London Police Is not a sU
isfacloiy document from Tlmewell's point
of view, and he says thst before very long
some startling revelations will be made re
garding the London police. He is certainly
stirring things- up considerably, and either
the police will have lo get to cover or some
one will aa one of hla enemies graphically
expressed It-have to "put. the, lid on Time
well." . a Mil lS HYDE.
NO MONEY LOST IN NEBRASKA

Chicago Mai Does ,ot Attempt
clde for Reason. First .
AuluneU.
Nebraska real estata Investments 'were
not tho cause of thi three attempts of
Benjamin Martin to commit suicide In Chi
cago Friday, Nebraska land is freed from
ell blame by a statement made by Frank
Kllby of Hopedale. I'l.. who is ai lh Pax
ton hotel. Mr. Kilby Is an lallmatu f.irnd
of Mr. Martin and dcr-larej a neivojs
breakdown and not disappointment in spec
ulation was the cause of Martin's three
attempts lo kill himself.
Chlcsgo dispatchea ststed that Mr;Jn
had lost $100,000 in Nebraska land Invest
ments and' this had made hliu despondent.
He jumped Into the. Chicago river thre
times. Twice he swam" out himself after
tha icy waters had chilled his desire to
end his life. The third time a kindly police
man rescued him.
"I know Mr. Mar.tin quite well," said
Mr. Kliby. " He haa lost no money in
Nebraska land I am sure. Borne time ago
he sold a lM-crc Illinois farm tor 8220 an
acre. Ho atlll haa $..0 coming to him
on thia deal. He then bought a Nebraska
farm for 12l an acre and had 110,000 to pay
on It yet. Though he has plenty of money
this 10,CM debt worried him and he waa
unable to collect the 8.10,000 due on hla
Illinois farm.
"I saw him a few days ago at Blooming
ton and he waa a complete nervous wreck.
Ills friends were watching him then."
