portunity.
The announcement that Chicago is to
have the first genuine house cleaning
in its history needs some emphasis, for
there have been such announcements
before. Now that the circumstances are
such as to justify the public in believ-
ing that the anti-crime millennium is
at hand, the public has been dazed a
bit by the portent of the announce
ment, but after it has rubbed its eyes
it will discover these very substantial
facts
The police force is to be doubled
numerically as to patrolmen.
AS the new men will be young, ac-
tive, ambitious and uncontaminated by
the blight that has settled over the old
force, they reasonably may be expected
to treble the patrol efficiency of the en-
tire force.

men Immediately and more later.

FOR A SAFER CHICAGO
IN THREE MONTHS CRIME is TO
BE WIPED OUT.
With ZOO Men Added to the Police
Force and Several Thousand Sa-
looms Closed the END of the Reign
of Crime Is I'm Sight.

Chicago correspondence:
Chicago is about to undergo a thor
ough housekeeping. Six hundred new
policemen will be put TO work at once
to aid the present force in digging the
rubbish of crime and vice out Of the
hooks and crannies, and in two months
another 600 men will be assigned TO
duty, and the work carried on with in
creased vigor and effectiveness. Chief
Collins asserts that by July l habita-
ton in Chicago will not be attended by
the dangers incident to the pernicIous
glar and the degenerate. 1t will be
hard for Chicagoans to grasp at once
the fall significance of all this. II
sounds Utopian, chimerical-like the
fancy of the dreamer of dreams. Long
suffering, crime-ridden Chicago safe at
last? Are We within four months of
the time when the pedestrian at night
need not take to the center of the street
to escape the lurking footpad? Is it
possible that by midsummer the Chi
cago woman may venture to the corner
grocery or street car after dusk and
feel that her purse and person are Sc
cure? are we to sleep in safety with
out prison bars at fiat and residence
windows and without revolvers under
our pillows? Chief Collins says Eyes.
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-
ell in raising saloon licenses from $500
to $1,000 annually. This action was
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
urgent as now. The crime situation
never was so menacing. But the facili-
tise for accomplishing reform never
were SO complete. The broom is new

Mrs. Martha Ludwick of Connersville,

Bert, who has for the last nine years
been a seaman on the Pacific Ocean. The
letter was mailed from Honolulu. 1t is

cially when prisoner of war in the Rus

while serving on the steamship Australia,
while it was running blockade near
Petropavlovsk, Siberia. From there, in
company with the other seamen and sol

where they endured awful privations.
Much hardship was experienced before
they succeeded in getting their releases,
Since Ludwick has left the Orient en-
route to America he expects to sever his
connection with the Pacific Steamship
Company and return to Connersville.
