60 BURGLARIES
SINCEJUNE FIRST
[Continued From First Page]
The burglars know no fear and move
up and down the dlstrlcta of the city
undetected.
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."
