POLICE CRUSADE.
Fifty-three Junk Dealers
Hailed to Court Today
for Examination.
BOOKS NOT PROPERLY KEPT
Ordinance for the Protection
of Property Owners Alb
solutely Disregarded.

Fifty-three junk dealers who are doing
business in this city, were summoned to
the First Criminal Court this morning by
Police Justice Nevin who, together with
Police Captain Cody of the First precinct,
has decided that there is but one way to
put a stop to the apparent epidemic of
petty thefts that has taken up great
deal of the time of the police courts and
of the officers and that has caused great
loss to property owners throughout the
city.
The number of small boys who appear
in the courts to answer charges of cut
ing lead pipe from buildings. stealing
copper wire which they cut from tele-
graph poles and railroad property has
been alarming. In almost all cases the
boys have informed the courts that they
sold the stolen goods to junk dealers.
Whenever it was possible to learn the
names of those dealers who bought the
stolen property Justice Nevin has taken
steps to bring them to justice, but it is
seldom that the boys know the names of
those to whom they sold stolen goods, and
it is always most difficult matter to
fasten the blame in the right place.
A conservative estimate of the number
o
by junk dealers through buying the stolen
goods is $50 in six months. To stop this
condition of affairs is the object OF the
crusade just inaugurated.
Some time ago an ordinance was passed
which required that all junk dealers keep
two books. In one they are to enter
each purchase as 1t is made, the name OF
the one who sold the material. descrlp-
tion of it and the name of the buyer.
These entries must be transferred at the
end of the day to another book. care
full description of all goods bought is re-
uuired by the ordinance. This provision
was made for the purpose of aiding the
police should search for stolen prop
erty be made among the junk dealers.
Several efforts to locate stolen goods py
this means failed and showed to the au-
thorities that the junk dealers We're not
complying with the provisions of the or
dinance, and it was decided to show to
the dealers that ordinances were made to
be obeyed.
For this reason the fifty-three dealers
were summoned to court. 1t was thought
that perhaps some of the dealers were not
citizens, but this was not the case with
any of those examined.
In the matter of keeping books there
was absolutely no attempt in few cases
and in other cases only one book was
used and that utterly useless. Descrip-
tions of goods bought were not even at
tempted
In the examination the men were re-
ouired to show their naturalization papers
and their licenses. Some of them could
talk but very little English. Many who
were present were astonished to find
among citizens men whose knowledge of
English was not equal to that possessed
by an ordinary boy of eight years old
AS every one of the dealers was guilty
Of violating the ordinance it was decided
to book them all on that charge and they
will be tried on Wednesday.

BOARD OF ESTIMATE.
Mr.. Mulvaney Writes to the
Mayor About School Ex-
penditures--Is the
New Act Illegal?

Mayor Hoos received today the follow
ing letter from President Mulvaney of the
Board of Education in reference to the
new Board of Estimate in matters per-
tanning to the public school expenditures;
'qHon. Edward Hoos.
stDear Sir-Under the provisions of the
revision of the school law, which has just
been approved by the Governor, the Board
of Education in this city is required 10
submit, on or before April Is in each year,
an estimate of the amount of money
necessary for the current expenses and
for repairing and furnishing the public
schools for the ensuing year, to Board
of Estimate composed of two members
of the Board of Finance appointed by II,
two members of the Board of Education
appointed by it, and yourself.
This Board of School Estimate is re-
quired to fix and determine. between
April Is and May l, the amount of money
of the public schools and make certifi--
Gates of the amount, one to be delivered
to the Board of Finance and another to
the Board of Education.
1.-The Board of Education will meet
April 12 and appoint it's members of the
Board of School Estimate. 1 have noti-
fed Mr.. Lembeck, president OF the Board
of Finance, and requested him to nave
his Board appointed before that time so
that we can get together and finish the

VERY respectfully yours,
JOHN ]. MULVANEY.
BY this new act the Mayor has no veto
power whatever in the matter of money
used for and by the Board of Education,
and this feature of the act promises to
cause some trouble in the future. Lawyers
who have studied the act say that 1t is
unconstitutional in that it takes prac-
tically the school system out of the juris-
diction of the municipality.
