This has been particularly the case
in numerous extensive cloth robberies
here. In the last six months cloth
valued at $40,000 has been stolen here
bv thieves slng nutnmobilcs nnd the
cloth stolen In the previous six months
was valued at $75,000, The decrease,
detectives believe, is due to the closer
watch being kept upon tho movements
of automobiles and motortrucks and
now they nre determined on even
stricter vigilance.
In their efforts to stop the theft of
automobiles the detectives are working
out with Superintendent of Police Mills
a plan to establish stations along the
main ronds leading from tho city, at
which a policeman will be constantly
on duty. It will bo his business to
scan nil pnssiug automobiles and if his
suspicions arc aroused ho will stop nnd
question tho driver.
