of a further advance in the Bank Of

tives we're gathering 10 attend the funeral
of the brothers little child, 'Potee opened
fire with a revolver, set fire to the house
and himself died from gunshot wounds,
but whether sef-inhicred or not is I'M

unexpectedly that several persons were
wounded before they could escape. The
mother and sister-in-law of the maniac
were caught in the kitchen and held pris-
oners there for some time. Potee then
locked himself in the house and fired
upon every one who approached. Nine

Potee, and William II. Miller, a brother
in-law, are likely TO die. The crazy man
found time between shots to sprinkle oil
about the house and set fire to it. While
it was burning ferceiy officers broke in
the front door and managed to save from
incarceration the body of the child whose
funeral had been about to take place
Firemen finally extinguished the flames.

FOR A SAFER CHICAGO
IN THREE MONTHS CRIME is TO
BE WIPED OUT.
With 200 Men Added to the Police
Force and Several Thousand sa-
looms Closed the End of the Reign
of Crime Is in Sight.

Chicago correspondence:
Chicago is about to undergo a thor
ough house-cleaning. 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
activity of the stick-up man, the bur-
glar and the degenerate. 1t will be
hard for ChicagOans to grasp at once
the full 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 fat and residence
windows and without revolvers under
our pillows? Chief Collins says Yes"
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 eIimi-
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

From Canada to the Gulf of Mexico
the United States has been storm
swept. From points in Illinois. Michi-
gan, Indiana and Wisconsin reports of
a heavy blizzard showed that all four
States were in the grip of the Storm
King. Chicago was visited by the heay-
lest snOwstorm of the winter, and the
weather bureau reported unusual down
falls throughout the Ohio and Missouri
valleys and the northern and north
western States, with heavy rains in the
South. From various points in Illinois
and the Northwest the heaviest March
snow in thirty years was reported.
Colorado has had the most serious
experience. At least twenty lives have
been lost in snOwslides. Fourteen min
ers at Silyerton were instantly over
whelmed while breaking in a trail from
their mine in order to escape starva-
ton. Their bodies have not been re-
covered. Lives have been lost at other
Colorado points, but definite figures are
not obtainable.
Mills and other Colorado mining
property worth 100000 have been
swept into deep gulches, covered with
tons of snow and destroyed. Thousands

specific purpose of the organization will
be the promotion of fourteen-foot water

The announcement that Chicago is to
have the first genuine housekeeping
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
