pounds, since the shells were five inch

been extinct, but their fossil shells are

heavy blizzard showed that all four
States were in the grip of the Storm

and, taking the phraseology given it
by Chief Collins, is likely to become
known in this city as 'Roosevelting'
the department. No sooner had Presi-
dent Roosevelt been appointed police
commissioner of New York than he
began his now historical series of noe
turnal tours of the city for the pur-
pose of getting his information about
the police department at first hand.
The roundsman, who in New York cor
responds to the patrol sergeant in Chi
cago, was made a special object of at
tention by Roosevelt because that
officials hard common sense taught him
that the patrolman could not loaf on
his post nor desert it altogether If the
roundsman did his duty. The effect of
Commissioner Roosevelt's surveillance
of the roundsmen and higher officials
was to force them to surveillance of
the men under them, and the direct
effect on the force as whole was i'm
mediately and conspicuously noticeable.
No New York police official knew when
the commissioner was likely to put in
an appearance night or day, and so
long as this practice was continued
there was little loafing on the part of
New York's police.

No superintendent Of police in this
or any other American city ever had
the opportunity that has come to Chief
Collins through the action of the Coun-
Gil in raising saloon licenses from $500
to $1,000 annually. This action was a
two-edged weapon in the fight against
crime, for it weakened the power Of
the enemies of law and order by elimi-
mating many Of the Objectionable sa-
looms and at the same time gave the
friends of law and order the thews to
fight their weakened foe. The demand
for crime suppression never was so

One of the leading brewers of Chi
cago asserts that the new license fee
will force 1000 saloons out of bust
ness, or about one-half of the whole
number in the city. The brewerles will
be heavy losers from this source, as
they own most of the property, which
will command much less rent from 9th
er business than saloons would pay.
However, the officials consider that the
reduction will be only one-half of what
the brewer estimates, and that the rev.
enues will be increased about $1,000
600. This amount will be turned into
the police apartment for better protec-
ton.
