It is a regular Rex Beach tale many people even say the best he ever wrote. By REX BEACH "There are burning oil wells and big floods. There are wild-cat swindles and big operations that are wholly legitimate. And always there is the vivid picture of the Texas oil country, splashed on a big canvas but with no de tail neglected. It is an en thralling romance and Mr. Beach makes every chapter thrill with action." The Bos ton Herald. HARPER & BROTHERS Established 1817. NEW YORK.

John Williamson, the ?10,000-a-year law enforcement officer, who was sup posed to be a sort of super-chief over the police, was fired today by Mayor Thompson after Rev. Mr. Wllliamso nhad engaged in a con troversy continuing over many weeks with Chief of Police Fitz morris. It is thought the mayor was finally moved to dismiss Rev. Mr. Williamson because he was employ ing "Frenchy" Mader, ex-convict and former head of the building trades council, as his body guard and adviser in his vice investiga tions. Mader was recently tried for connection with the murder of two policemen who had intercepted wrecking crew from the labor unions who had just bombed two buildings. Mader is still under in dictment for conspiracy to murder a policeman. Strangely enough, Mader also found himself in bad with the labor unions when they learned he had bene the guide and guard of Rev. Mr. Williamson. They are referring t ohim as the parson chaser" and threaten to call a special meeting and elect his successor. Mader re signed under pressure some time ago, but no successor has been chosen, the belief being that after the storm blew over he would be reinstated. The experiment of appointing a "super-chief" has heen a distinct failure. The police officials and the force generally resented having over them a preacher, not because he was a preacher so much as be cause he had no knowledge .'what ever of crime conditions or how to combat them. The newspapers have fought the appointment from the first. It must be admitted that the "super-chief" has accomplished nothing worth while, and the tax payers grumbled constantly over the additional load. The city generally has the utmost faith in Chief Fitz- morrls and the public resented hav ing him made subordinate to an amateur. The final explosion came when the "prime minister," as the papers dubbed Rev. Mr. Williamson, an nounced he would make a great -ex pose of crime conditions. VV hen the day arrived for the big sensation he admitted he had no facts to back up his charges. Mayor Thompson then wrote out the fateful pink slip, dis missing him and had it thrown over the transom of his closely locked office.
