DEFYING EFFORTS OF TIE POLICE.
The Force Is Claimed To Be Too Small for
Efficient Service Against the Thieves.

During the last twenty-four hours q score or
more Of suspicious characters have been arrest
ed by the police. but tae thieves who have done
much of the stealing about the city still st
large. There were 70 large robberies Friday
night but the usual amount OF petty stealing
occurred Besides Harry Moran's saloon. on the
Circle, Phil Wolfe's cigar store, in the Sterling
Block. was visited, and about $50 worth of cigars
and some money were taken.
While the city was never so overrun with
thieves before, the police perhaps not SO
much to blame as would think. They say
they are doing what they can to put stop TO
the depredations, and the poor success with
which they are meeting can be attributed TO sew
eral causes. The main one is, the force is en-
tireiy too small No other city in the country
the size of Indianapolis has such limited num-
Der of officers With but twenty pairs
or men running at night, each pair
10 required to go over two entire wards.
The IN ost active are not able to patrol ev-
erv street in their district, and hence they as
sert, IL is no wonder thieves are having much
their own way The members of the force all
agree that there should be at least twenty more
men on duty. The force is also in need of ad-
ditional detective ability. The two men now
employed in that capacity are capable and eff
6cient, but with SO many criminals IN the city
they are unable to trace all of them to their re-
sorts. Superintendent Travis again instructed
the men at roll-call last night to keep close
watch on the dives, and arrest ali suspicious
characters He also ordered the patrolmen TO
remain duty until o'clock in the morning
until further orders.
Mayor Denny Is lending the police helping
hand in their attempt to drive the Migrants
from the city. and he Cealt very severely with
the suspected characters VINO were before him
yesterday morning. Nearly all of them
fined heavily. and. as they were unable to pay,
they went to the work-house. Charles Colly
and William Smith. arrested on suspicion of
roobing Henry Guetig. were fined $50 and
costs.
Harris Greepawald and William Starr were
arrested yesterday morning. and charged with
robbing Mrs. Dr. Mott IN Washing ton-street
dry goods store several weeks ago. They were
taken before the Mayor, but as Mrs. Mott is not
here to identify them their trial was postponed
until Tuesday.
