THE GERTILITY OF sHopLIFrINa.

II seems TO be conceded that there
is something genteel about shOplifting.
Always the woman arrested is gen
teel-looking" and appears to be respec eta
BILE. If she wears diamonds or has u
bank account OF her own, the vulgar
term shoDlifting is not applied to her
crime; the more soothing designation
given to 1t Is kleptomania. A shopliftsr
arrested In Brooklyn yesterday had her
gentility and responsibility with her,
and she Ia rather looked up to by the po-
lice, the Court and all concerned In de-
privlng her of her liberty.
Why Is 1t that nothing genteel or re-
spectacle is ever found In any other
but the rich class of thieves? Looks
or social standing should not count In
measuring out the punishment for Of
lenses against the law. But they do.
We have yet to hear OF the first poor,
half-starvsd filcher from the tenements
in favor of whom pedigree or smooth
ness of countenance has been urged In
extsnuation. Only the people who do
not need to steal can travel on their
shapes or trot in the .'genteel- looking
shoplifter" or kleptomaniao class. Poor
women who steal are thieves pure and
simple.

THE ARxoR-PLATR PRAuDs

The report OF the Congressional Com
mittee on Armor-Plate Frauds, to which
ample space was given In the different
editions of 1.-THE Evening World' yes
terday, disposes of a great deal OF bosh
and brings us face to face with facts.
1t asserts that the Carnegie Company,
which in less than three years has had
more than five million dollars OF con-
| tracts for armor plates and bolts. has
been guilty Of no less than eleven dis
tinct and separate forms OF fraud on the
Government.
1t takes a pretty ablebodied kind OF
cheating to discover eleven different
ways Of doing 1t, but they are scheduled
In the report of the Committee. They
include failure to treat plates uniformly.
false reports on treatment, failure to
give bolts a second treatment, fraudu-
lent tests OF tensile strength OF speci-
mems. substitutions OF dummy specl-
mems for selected specimens. manipula-
ton OF the testing machine, re-treating
selected specimens before testing them,
re-treating the plates selected for bal
listlc tests, plugging OF blow-hoes in
violation of contract and concealing de-
fects of this kind from the inspectors.
duplicating or stealing the Government
stamp. and using 1t without the knowl-
edge Of the inspectors. and. lastly. using
false templets or gauges to deceive the
inspectors who inspected the bolts.
This makes very bad showing not
only for the Carnegie Company but for
the Navy Department, which allowed
itself to be fooled. hoodwinked and
cheated. and which seems disposed to
become an accomplish after the fact.
The country. which Is astonished Mt the
condition Of affairs disclosed by the re-
port, will now turn to the Navy Depart
ment to see II It believes that the Car
negie Company Ia too big q concern to
be proceeded against.
