Thus far two arrests have been made by the police, but the persons suspected were discharged. Nine Week-End Burglaries Over the week-end from October 7 to ? nine homes were entered and at tempts were made to enter four other r.lnces. AM of these were on Allison Hiil, where the majority of robberies occurred within the last month. Although the exact value of the rilundcr obtained by the thieves in their many marauds can not be accu rately estimated, it is believed that the Jewelry, money, clothing and provisions stolen total hundreds of dollars. Mayor Meals announced recently that when the budget for 1917 is turned in to City Council he will ask for thirty more patrolmen to be sent out on city districts so that, the terri tories covered by each officer will be ereatly reduced. Increasing police pro tection. Inefficient Men On Force? Officials, however, have hinted at different times that political influence has been exercised to keep somo of the men on the force whose work Is In efficient. That the present force Is too small Is conceded by every official in the department, but several of the ex ecutives declared that adding thirty men will not do any good unless they are efficient and capable of serving as officers. Mayor Meals himself has gone out with the officers on burglar hunts when some of the night calls came in, but no arrests were made. Several of the detectives, working on some of the robberies, have com plained at times because reports of more recent raids were not received by them when the reports might have aided in running down important clues. Raid After Raid The thieves, picking out any section of the city they choose to work in, have made raid after raid, and al though seen on several occasions, they have escaped before neighbors or officers could interfere. Superintend ent of Detectives Windsor and Chief of Police Wetzel both declare that at times-' the persons whose homes were entered could have given the police department more assistance by calling headouarters when they saw people acting suspiciously. Detectives and uniformed officers have worked overtime and run down numerous clues without any results. Motorboat and auto rides to supposed hiding places of the burglars brought no returns, according to the police. The latest raids were the most ex tensive In the city since the burglaries began In the early part of the summer. Beglning in the West End early in June, the thieves visited a number of places, then suddenly switched to Alli son Hill and began visits to houses, entering from three to five homes in one night. The l/oot Most of the robberies have been committed, it is believed by the police, hetwf en midnight and 4 o'clock in the | morning. Two vlctrolas, watches, chains, rings, lodge emblems, stick- I pins, flashlights, noseglasses, men's j and women's clothing, provisions, dress j patterns and money have been taken, i In many of the burglaries valuable sil- I verware and other expensive articles j were njissed or were not wanted by | the thieves, who have so far success- I fully eluded all efforts on the part of the police to catch them. Residents of suburban communities have requested Superintendent Wind sor to assign men to watch certain streets and roads on which men were seen acting suspiciously. These re quests were not taken seriously ami the men were seen again, but no ar rests made. Statements have been made at po- J lice headquarters that the detective ; bureau knows the parties who, have I been responsible for many of the rob- I beries, but are "waiting to catch the offenders in the act." Just how long j the public will wait for the police to get results and end the early morning visits is the question asked by persons j whose homes have been entered. Will Not Tell Number of Burglaries I Superintendent of Detectives Wind sor when asked for a record of the names and addresses of residences en tered since the burglaries began de clared, "I consider it a most unfair and unjust request to make to an offi cial; to ask him for a list of places robbed, to be used to show incompe- j tency in the police department. I will never willingly give anything from the official police complaint book if I be lieve it is to be used against the de partment. "I can show from records of former administrations, that there have been robberies just as serious as the present ones, and more so, and no arrests made." •lust a Few Places Robl>ed Following is a partial list of the places entered in the city and nearby places.
