PASADENA, Nov. 24.-Chief Favour is
using every means to prevent the wave of
crime so prevalent in Los Angeles from
spreading to this city, and the police drag
ret is constantly spread, resulting in the
roundup of every suspicious character
and hobo who may by chance ccme here.
Regular patrolmen and officers in citi-
zcns clothes keep their eye open for
crooks, and so far those who have ap-
reared have been promptly jailed before
they found an opportunity to do mischief.
Three strangers were locked up before
o'clock this morning. They were lettering
around one of the railroad depots, and as
they could not give a satisfactory accou 1t
of themselves all are being held pending
. thorough investigation.
Each night when the through trains
pass here officers visit the yards and in
tercept any hobo seen. He is then taken
TO jail and kept under lock and key until
the next morning. when the court gives
him the privilege of paying a fine or leav-
ing town. An officer generally accom-
paries him to the city limits.
In some of the isolated parts of the
city complaints are made of the species
of tramp who go from house to house
begging for food or clothing. Frequent
calls of this character are answered by
the police. but usually before an officer
can get to the scene the hobo becomes
suspicious and makes himself scarce.
Since the arrest of the Crawfords in
October not single case of felony, steal
ing or burglary has been reported from
anywhere directly in the city. Chief
Favour had years of experience dealing
with crooks while a member of the Bos-
ton police force, and so thoroughly has he
drilled his Pasadena men there is little
chance for crooks to successfully operate
here.
