CROOKS TO FIND
POLICE PREPARED
viii CircumVent Efforts of Pick
pockets and Confidence Men
Who Seek to Prey
on Crowds

Professional pickpockets, shoplifters,
confidence men and others of that ilk
who expect to reap a rich harvest in
Los Angeles and In the various beach
towns when the fleet arrives will find
they will have no easy road to travel.
For the last week eastern detectives
who know almost every crook who has
operated in the eastern cities have been
arriving In Los Angeles. Fourteen Of
these officers are now in this city and
more are to arrive. TIeSe men Will
mingle with the crowds, and when they
find a person whose picture graces the
rogues' gallery he will be arrested on
suspicion and held in the city jail until
his record is investigated
A number of these detectives left for
San Diego several days ago and will
remain there until the fleet anchors off
San Pedro.
Portland, Seattle, san Francisco and
numerous other coast cities have sent
men to Southern California to assist
the Los Angeles authorities i'll safe
guarding the crowds that will throng
the streets when the sailors arrive.
Chief of Police Biggy Of San Fran
cisco was in Los Angeles few days
ago and conferred with Chief Kern re-
garding measures to be adopted in APP
pretending criminals who are expected
to visit the coast and prey upon the
thousands of tourists coming to well
come the fleet.
For the last few weeks the detectives
and police of this city have been study
ing the descriptions and photographs
Of all crooks likely to visit this section.
They have familiarized themselves with
the past records of large number of
notorious shUplifters and pickpockets,
and will exercise the utmost vigilance
in watching for this class of visitors.
1.-THE police force viii not be in
creased" said Chief Kern. ut is i'm
possible to do so. 1 do not think it will
be necessary. The men we now have
are thoroughly efficient and feel con-
fident they will be able TO handle the
situation.
"At night during fleet week the
crowds attending the wild west show
at Agricultural park will be handled
by a detail from the University sub
station. These officers will be under
the command of Captain of Police Bra
dish.
"Chutes park, where the boxing con-
tests are scheduled to take place, will
be policed by officers detailed from the
central station. Lieutenant Dixon of
the central station will be In command
of this squad"
From San Diego the officers from the
northern coast cities and from the east
will folloy the fleet until they reach
San Francisco. The coast towns es-
pecially will be closely watched for the
appearance Of suspicious persons.

pirate minute in an invalid chair. lie
will be placed at the seat reserved for
him and where toast to his health
and future will be drunk. He may say
a few words to the guests and Will then
be retired to his apartments for rest.
There is In this little program but
a shred of what was contemplated. Los
Angeles wished him to meet ana TO
understand her citizenship and her
hopes and aspirations; to understand
her patriotism and her measure of men
whose worth is in their lives of duty
and loyalty to country,
Only Shadow
But they have remembered that this
sick admiral has been suffering con-
stantly the most excruciting agony, at
times incident to rheumatism result
ing from his wounds in the War of the
Rebellion. For nearly four months
ever since the fleet left Rio de Janeiro
this disease has aslIicted him, ana
il was little wonder that the commit
tee which met him when he passed
through Los Angeles to Paso Robes
springs beheld a shadow OF man
where the expectancy was for
manned but Robust figure. Emaciated
from his sufferings, Fighting Bob
still fighting with courage and conf
dence-weighs little more than a well
grown boy. and his sufferings have left
him. even in the progress expected,
physically unable to endure much en-
tertainment.
For him the most lavish floral decor
atoms ever devised in the west have
been prepared. The banquet hall is to
be representative of the flora of the
region and the abundance of the gar
lands of roses and the display of other
flowers is to be picturesque. 1t was
contemplated that he should enter the
hotel over a path of flowers, and he
will If he comes.

Ball at Shrners' Audi
torium Arranged

The two great formalities of the re-
ception to the Atlantic fleet and its
commander, Admiral Evans. will be
the banquet at the Alexandria hotel
Monday night and the ball at the
Shriners' auditorium Wednesday night.
The plans for both entertainments
have been made with high ideal in
view and both are already assured
successes.
The banquet will be participated In
by two hundred and sixty men. OF
this number fifty-five will be the adj
mirals and captains and other officers
of the feet, for they will be guests
of honor, and five will be newspaper
men who have accompanied the fleet
on it's cruise from Hampton Roads.
The remained will be citizens of Los
Angeles.
1t is now assumed that the hero of
the banquet, Fighting Bob" will not
be able to enjoy it as was intended.
His illness and the menace that hours
of tension at a banquet table would
be to him make it practically impos-
sible to expect that he will do more
than attend for few minutes.
The present arrangement is to wheel

fleet will sleep in San Pedro harbor
Saturday night. On the morning or
Easter Sunday the battleships Will
awaken and prepare for another dem
onstration that may not be duplicated
in San Pedro harbor in decades. That
will be the naval parade and division
of the fleet in four parts. Led by the
Connecticut the sixteen ships Will
steam out of the harbor toward Bay
City. There they will turn and steam
northward to Long Wharf. Between
Bay City and Long Wharf the distance
is about twenty miles and in covering
that distance it is planned for the fleet
to execute some maneuvers that will
reveal the elasticity of so gigantic a
weapon of defense as the battleships
compose.
This parade and maneuvering ended
the battleships in divisions of four each
will take their places at Redondo. San
Pedro, Long Beach and Santa Monica
bay. They are expected to be in place
by noon and after coming to anchor
will be available for visits by the null
titudes that will be waiting.
Ships Open Sunday
This demonstration and the open
ships on Sunday afternoon are ar
ranged particularly for those whose
employment will not permit them TO
visit the fleet any other day. 1t is be-
lieved that those who can visit the
fleet on other days would cater to their
own comfort and safety If they did not
plan a Sunday visit. for no matter
how great the capacity of the battle
ships to receive and entertain, it must
be remembered that the means of
transmission to and from them will
not be sufficient to handle the great
crowd al each anchorage point Sun
day and Tuesday are to be the great
popular days, for Sunday is a day of
rest and Tuesday has been proclaimed
a holiday, which Los Angeles mer-
chants and employers have decided to
obey religiously for the benefit of those
who want to attend.
There will be no fleet ceremony of
any kind ashore on either Saturday or
Sunday. Sunday will be the day when
the populace goes to the water to greet
the ships Beginning Monday the ships
will come ashore to enjoy the welcome
thus extended.

BoomIets Sprouting

Political information is beginning to
manifest itself. A number of petitions
are already in circulation for county ofic-
es. On the republican side those that
are out to date are S. w. Ireland. county
clerk; G. F. Guthrie, register Of deeds;
J.E. Thomas. county superintendent.
These are asking for reelection. The
democrats who are standing for second
term are E. L. MrCracken, sheriff; S. P.
Garrison, probate Judge; Emmett Nc
Clearey, surveyor.
VIM. Gesner, representative, will also
ask for second term but his petition has
not yet reached the county seat.
For county treasurer the Democratic
friends Of R. L. Groendycke of Nippa-
walla township have started petitions in
his behalf. When Mr.. Groendycke FRS
heard Of the movement on Monday he
was inclined to object but his boom wa:
well started and there was nothing to dc
but to submit to the inevitable. 1t will
be remembered that there was an efor
made in January to load the county as
sessorship on him but he managed te
make his getaway so that he couldn'
even be found by telephone, but thi
time he has been captured. Mr. Groen
dycke is well qualified for this Office ane
if nominated and elected, will make
6rs-class official.
There are a number Of others wh,
are doing some advising as to becomin,
candidates but the above mentioned ar
the only petiioas that are out so far a
our knowledge goes.

Suit for Damage

H. w. Skinner, through his attorney,
Seward |. Field, filed suit for $3.50
against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway Company on Saturday. The
suit grows out Of cattle shipment that
was made by Mr.. Skinner in April 1907.
Mr.. Skinner shipped several cars Of cat
tie to Nichols, Kansas. One of the cars
was what is known as dump bottom"
car and was defective. He lost ten head
Of cattle and the entire car load was more
or less injured. The car was sidetracked
between here and Nichols and this affect
ed the sale Of the cattle when they final
ly reached their destination.
1t is difficult to understand how the
Santa Fe could afford to let the claim go
to court.

The High School double bll-"Under
Two Flags" and 'Belshazzar' Doom
given by the Barber County High School,
under direction of Miss Leonora E. Shaw,
at the opera house last Friday night was
a most creditable rendition and it won
laurels in abundance for the young actors
and actresses. When it is remembered
that there were only two weeks for re.
hearsal and that these rehearsals were
disturbed by postponement it is doubly
to the credit Of the numerous student.
that they did so well.
Over fifty participated in the evening
entertainment and all Of them had theil
parts well in hand.
The gross receipts Of the evening were
$156 SO, Of which amount $63.l4 goe
to the High School Piano Fund afte
paying all expenses and Miss Shaw fol
her labors.
This was the first attempt Of the pupil.
on the stage and they so far surpassed
public expectation that the play will bs
repeated on Saturday night Of this week

He is Wm. j. Bryan'S Friend

George B. Warner Of Valley town.
ship called at the Index office one day
last week and enrolled on the subscrip-
ton roster. We were glad to make Mr..
Warners acquaintance for several reasons.
First, because we got his dollar and Sec
ond because he came to Barber county
about year ago from Nebraska and was
a neighbor and intimate friend of that
foremost American statesman of this age
Hon. William ]. Bryan. Mr.. Warn
er says he has escorted Mr.. Bryan to
many school houses in former Nebraska
campaigns when the now famous states
man first took an interest in political mat
tiers. He says that to know Bryan is to
be convinced Of his honesty, his ability
and his sincerity Of purpose. When Mr.
Warner noticed that fine portrait Of the
great Nebraskan was overhanging the
editorial desk in the Index office, from
whence comes the editorial inspiration,he
could not resist the temptation to sub
scribe.
Mr.. Warner owns some fine tracts o
land in Valley and was in the city tc
perfect titles.
