COVERED PATROL W AGONS
May Be introduced in Minneapolis
Even Before the Law Re
quires Them.

Minneapolis is to have covered pa
troll wagons before Feb. if Chief of
Police Conroy is able to induce the
police committee of the city council
to make appropriations for such a pur-
pose. If the committee refuses to take
the steps necessary, the law passed by
the last legislature which, goes into
effect Feb. 1, will require all the patrol
wagons to be provided with covers by
that date. anyway.
Superintendent Conroy has long
ben in favor of covered patrol wagons
and altho he had forgotten the new
statute, he had intended having the
committee take up the matter at it's
next meeting. He considers that in a
city like Minneapolis where the
patrol wagon is used as an ambulance
several times each day and where in
| the winter the weather is so cold, it is
almost necessary for the vehicle to be
covered.
| It was not, however, for the benefit
| of those for whom the wagon is used
as an ambulance, that the law was
passed, but for the benefit of persons
under arrest. 1t is held by students Of
| criminology that the publicity that is
given the most arrests has a deteri-
Grating effect upon the prisoner
Such was the idea held by a majority
of the last legislature and the juvenile
court bill, which requires the court.

His DeslrablIty Discussed by Minneapoli
Bank Clerks Association.

Bank Clerks AssocIatIon,
Should bank clerks be bonded? was the
question discussed last night by the Min
neapolis Bank Clerks association. The
affirmative, supported by Andrew Ben
ton and r. w. Putnam, maintained that
the public would have more confidence in
q bank whose clerks were bonded: that
the employer would consider his interests
safer, and that the clerk would be bet
ter paid. because more care would be used
In selecting clerks. The negative. thru
w. e. French and S. FL Plummer, replied
that no bond could replace self-respect and
sense of honor, and that, inasmuch as
bonding companies disregard the personal
element, clerks would be no more reliable
and salaries would be no higher.
