fessional thieves are to the vast regions
of the Middle and Far West. That they
should find centre or activity in the
Mississippi Valley is in itself a curious
fact. Their absence from the East and
glimpses into the lives of lawbreakers
past and present are also afforded by
the map and the report of which it
is a part
During the year there were 80 bur
glaries of banks in the United States
The loot was worth S129.OO4. 40. or an
average Of S1,450 for each robbery. The
largest loss was $4,000, stolen from
the Farmers and Manufacturers Bank

the State Bank of Hewitt, Mimi. repre-

Casualties Exnenteh

During one of Speaker Cannon's BIT
ter political fights in his district in I'LL
nois, the opposition resorted to desper-
ate tactics, Among other things,
friends OF Uncle Joe were summarily
dismissed from positions they held in
the public service. Some of his friends
became alarmed at this, and one of
them called on the Speaker at his resi-.
dence, and said somewhat excitedly:
doe, Smith and Jones have LOST their
positions in the postoffice. What are we
going to do about it?"
Uncle Joe took another pun at his

MAP SHOWING BANK RoBBERlEs FOR THE PAST YEAR

brings out one Of the curious facts in
connection with the bank robberies.
They were all committed in small
towns, even the names of which are
unfamiliar to the average American.
No city of any size figures In the rec
ords.
big bank robberies In cities are a
thing of the past" remarked a detect
I've, referring to these figures. For one
thing. the banks in the great cities have
more money at stake. They must make
their vaults impregnable. A bank in
New York, Philadelphia or Chicago, for
instance, did not keep more than $780,
600 In cash and securities in its vaults
ten or fifteen years ago. Now the great
banks frequently carry from $5,000,000
to S10,00o,O00. With such sums, no
walls can be too thick, no vaults too
strong.
With the exception of $1,226 taken
from bank in Truxton, n. Y, on Dec.
80 last, none of the burglaries was com
mitted east of the Allegheny Mountains.
None of the ten hold-up robberies in
banks occurred nearer New York than
Granite Falls, n. c., on the south and
Clinton, H., to the west ward.

Carolina. When asked why the bur
glaries and hold-ups were thus confined
to a comparatively small section of the
country the detective replied:

ground for thieves. because. for one
thing. the distances are so long and the
areas so vast that it is difficult for the
police and sheriffs to give effective SER
