POLICE TRIBUTE TO CONAN DOYLE.

"PRECURSOR OF MODERN DETECTIVE METHODS."

Paris, May 5.

The name of Conan Doyle la re- vered at Lyons by the extremely efficient police organisation of that city. A hall in the Lyons police laboratory, which is one of the most advanced in Europe, is named after the father of Sher- lock Holmea, and M. Edmond Lo- card, the chief of the laboratory, does not hesitate to claim Conan Doyle as the precursor of modern detective methods.

M. Locard thinks that it was Conan Doyle's picture of Sherlock Holmos Bludying mud on clothes, cigarette ashes, and dust adhering to boots that turned Dr. Hans examining Gross, the Austrian magistrate, and one of the best known European criminologist be. fore the war, first to varify alibia by the analysis of dust.

"Conan Doyle," says M. Locard, "was an absolutely natonishing scientific Investigator."
