ONE of our consuls in France writes
the state department that there is a
market there for large amount of
American oak lumber, provided it be
sawed in the manner preferred by
French lumber dealers. That proba-
bly, settles the question. The Amer
lean manufacturer turns out goods to
suit himself, not foreign buyers. Eng
lish and German manufacturers are
much wiser in this regard, and thereby
get great deal of foreign trade which
Americans might have if they would
adopt proper methods

THE new Trans-Siberian railway runs
through immense steppes. where not
even a blade of grass will grow. in
fact, this country is perfect land of
desolation. This fact arises from
all the year round. Between
Krosnolark and Mariusk there is
a steppe where the ground is frozen to
a depth averaging nine feet. In other
parts OF the country the ground is
only frozen to the depth OF a few
inches, but as it remains in this con-
dition throughout the year nothing

A CALL FOR RELIEF.
How Criminals Work Their Will In
the East End of Town

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
Where must the people of the East End
look for protection against the depredations
of the notorious gang that exists unmoIest-
ed in that part of the city? Complaint to
the police avails nothing. On the night of
Sept. a burglary was committed In this
part of the city, The police were notified
and an investigation was begun; it was
pursued to the point where the name and
description of the thief were obtained and
the stolen goods located. At this point the
superintendent of police absolutely refused
to have anything further to do with the
case and acted as if discussion of the mat
ter was disagreeable to him and made him
weary. The guilty party in the case is
we'll known at police headquarters and has
been before the Police Court at various
times.
About this same time store in this same
locality was robbed. Report was made TO
headquarters and officers were sent to IN
vestigate After taking the name and adj
dress of the proprietor and asking a few
questions. they said: well, look around
and see if you can find out anything"
This was the last seen of them About two
and a half hours later, after closing his
store. the proprietor started an investiga-
ton on his own account. He learned that
the thieves had been between his store and
police station (four blocks distanO contin-
uously since the theft. liz their efforts to
dispose of the stolen goods they had visited
quite a number of secondhand stores in
these four blocks (from Washington and
Noble streets to Washington and Alabama
Streets), and at the time when the store
was closed had arrived at a saloon about
one hundred Yards from the police sta
tion where they were finally located by
the merchant Once more (this time by
messenger) the police were called. and the
gang was finally arrested with The stolen
goods in their possession. They were duly
tried. convicted and are now serving their
time.
Last Saturday an old soldier was robbed
Of everything he had, in broad daylight, at
the corner of Washington and Noble
streets. In less than an hour the gang
tapped a keg of beer in the immediate
vicinity and proceeded to celebrate.
Saturday night the above mentioned store
was again robbed. Persons passing on the
street witnessed the theft and reported it
80 the proprietor, who followed the culprit
10 the corner of Washington and Noble
streets and forced him to disgorge.
The foregoing shows some of the things
that are forced to put up with, and
the people are praying for relief. The ex-
stence of this gang is no secret On the
ontrary, it is well known. and they may
80 seen in numbers. large and small at
most any time in the locality. Where must
we look for protection? VICTIM.
