SPECIAL AGENT MAKES
WHOLESALE ARRESTS
Boys Break Into G. I. & s.
Freight Car and Steal
Grapes and Flour.
PARENTS TO Be PROSECUTED
P. J. Burke Makes Important Cap
ture Which May Break Up
Wholesale Thefts.

Chief Special, Agent of the c., l. &
6. and l. III. II. railroad, T.. j. Burke
made n Wholesale arrest of boys In the
Standard Steel car district Saturday
afternoon for stealing fruit and pro-
visions from freight cars. But he is
not going to let the matter stop at
that; he has sworn out warrants
against the parents of the boys for re-
ceiving stolen property and he be-
Iieyes that he will hit at the root of the
evil in this manner.
Some of the boys are old offenders,
but as all of them, but Andy Stof1e,
were under 16 years of age, he was
the only one who was held in jail. The
others will be taken care of by the
truant officer, and especially Joe Stand
erski Gus Likus. Louis Sakel and john
Sakel. who are all old offenders. The
other boys are: George Laporan, Joe
Lash. alias Joe Hegewisch; Frank Pa
ravoIick, John Dunlavey and John
WzubIis. All of the boys who have
been arrested have confessed their
guilt. and they will be taken care of in
the juvenile court by Truant officer
Muzzall.
One Boy Held.
Andy Stofic who is II years old, will
be held for petit larceny and will be
tried in Judge McMahon's city court
The amount of crime among the boys
in Hammond is alarming, according to
officer Burke, and he believes that the
parents of some of the boys wink at
their crime, if they do not connive,
in it.
! Special Agent Burke discovered the
1 fact that the car had been broken into
/ Saturday afternoon. and within an hour
! and a half after the robbery was dis
covered he nd arrested all of the boys
whose names have been given above
and had secured confession from
each of them.
Believing that the boys were encour-
aged in carrying on their depredations
by their parents, Agent Burke swore
out warrants for the arrest of the
parents of the boys on the charge Of
receiving stolen property
If he can secure convictions in these
cases he believes that It will have {
salutary effect on the parents Of tbs
boys. and will make them hesitate be
fore they will tolerate a repetition ot
the thefts.

CARD FROM DR.. WHAiEY.
Pensacola, Fla, Oct. Is, 100

Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 10, I5Oo.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
1t is rumored, on the street, that
the committee having the matter in
charge, has decided to locate the
chapel, gate and waiting room at ST.
Johns on Belmont street Many OF
us feel that this decision is not by
any means the better of the two that
have been under consideration The
location on the north and almost n
the middle of the rectangular plot,
just on the brow of the hill, within
full view of the surrounding country
and the bay. and on the car line,
would seem from every standpoint to
be the better. The commanding po-
sition and the accessibility by way OF
the cars are decidedly in its favor.
Then, again. the approach from the
north side and along Jackson street,
turning south, is far more attractive
than that by way of Belmont street
1t might be well, in a matter that
concerns the general public so di-
rectly, for the committee to give a
statement of the grounds of their de-
cision to their fellow citizens. Of
course, the whole thing rests with
the cemetery company yet a Gene
terry belongs in very true sense to
the whole community. l have been
asked to bring this question into the
forum of public discussion and have
therefore ventured upon the sugses-
tons above made

Following Washington's Example.

The state of Louisiana, following
Washington's good example, will soon
vote on the proposition to exempt
mortgages from taxation. In the
Pehcan state the issue is presented
IN the form of an amendment TO the
constitution. as the legislature is not
now competent to enact law exempt
ing mortgages. Washington, by an
act of the last legislature, exempted
moneys, and credits in every form,
from taxation, and the supreme court
has definitely settled the question of
the legislatures right to enact such a
law The constitutional amendment
now pending in Louisiana is probably
broad enough in scope to permit that
state to go further than the exemp-
ton of credits in one form only: but
Independent of that aspect of the
question, the state has started in the
right direction. There is no 'onger
room to doubt the wisdom of the pol
icy of exempting moneys and credits.
In the first place no state has ever
been able TO reach property Of this
kind, and no state has 4 moral right
to pass a law which will be uniform
ly violated. Laws are not passed to
be violated. They are passed to be
obeyej, and if the state can not en-
force a given legislative enactment,
it should abandon it. Good morals, no
less than the sacredness of the law
in its general aspect, will demand
such q course on the part of the
state. Aside from this view of the
question, however, the state can not
make a stronger bid for capital than
through the policy OF eXempting
moneys and credits That has been
Washington's experience, and should
Louisiana adopt the pending amend
ment, that state will soon realize the
wisdom of the new policy.-Seattle

Should Require
Muzzliag of Dogs.

That the city council should enact
law compelling owners to muzzle
dogs running at large, is the desire of
many residents of this city, for pos
sibly there is no city of its size
which, mas the misfortune to contain
as many dogs as Pensacola.
The present law and system of levy
ing tax Is as unsatisfactory as it
is unsuccessful in diminishing the
number of CANNES owned here. Furth-
ermore, il absolutely affords no pro-
lection against attacks by these ami
mails, and several persons have been
bitten during the past summer. About
the only result obtained from its oper-
alton is the collection of a few hun
dred dollars from the owners of dogs
OF some value, while hundreds are
allowed to roam at lalse, endangering
the lives of citizens.
The fact that some owner has paid
into the city treasury 81 or $3.50 for a
license, the purchase of which al
lows the animal to run at large, is no

same dog, possibly with ehe rabies,
will not attack him or her, and that
death may result from its bite
Neither is the payment of this license

way to or from school from the at

roaming the Steets with an without

The present time is a good one for
the city council to repeal the present
ineffective ordinance, and substitute
one requiring all dogs running at

by the city. 1t will deprive the city
OF few hundred dollars, but this
small amount of revenue can easily

The Uncertainty
of New York.

Walter Wellman. recognizing the
doubtful attitude OF New York state
as between Bryan and Taft. writing
70 the Chicago Record-Herald from
New York City. among many other
interesting observations on the poll
deal situation as he finds 1t in that
state. has the following:
why is there doubt about New
York? The doubt may not be large.
The chances are still in Taft's favor.
But some uncertainty does exist and
will continue till the actual counting
: Of the ballots. The chief cause of
this uncertainty is found in the at
titude of the labor vote. BY the
labor vote ! do not mean wholly or
ganfzed or union labor, but the men
who work with their hands general
~. the wage earners. whether they
be members OF labor organizations
or not. Among all of this mass OF
people there Is this year in New
York City and in all the cities OF
this state a marked tendency to go
for Bryan.
The simple truth is this: There is
up what We may call the base of the
pyramid OF society, the heavy, thick
mass. in which votes are found by
ehe hundreds OF thousands. They
want a change. They have not "tak.

Bryan better. They have their own
reasons. These reasons may not be
sound. But so far as we are con-

than we are in why they do it. though
that is interesting, too.
