Cedar Rapids, May 27.-Despite the
police are very active in their efforts to
apprehend the burglar who wounded
Mayor Carmody Sunday night, there
have been no developments whatever
as yet and the would DE assassin is an
parently no nearer arrest than he was
Sunday night. A large number of
what appeared to be promising clues
have been run down, and in some cases
suspects have been brought in, but
none of them answered the description
OF the man wanted and have been
either arraigned on charge of vag-
rancy or turned loose and told to get
out of town., Reports are coming in
constantly regarding suspicious char
acters in nearby towns, but in every
case they have proven to be either
hopoes who were looking for something
TO eat and a free ride or men who did
not IN any way answer the description
of the burglar
Inc marshal at Scion telephoned
the police that he had arrested couple
OF suspicious looking characters that
were walking across the country in that
vicinity. The men appeared to be try
ing to avoid the railroad and towns,
and 1t was thought for a time that by
stroke of great good luck the right
man had been caught at last, as one
OF them answered the description some
what according to the Scion official
Captain Powers went to Scion and
found that the men did not answer
the description in any way and had
nothing to indicate that they were any
thing but tramps. They were not
brought back to Cedar Rapids the
captain returning alone on the next
train.
| Two other attempts to enter homes
leads the police to believe the burglar
is still in the city and Chief of Police
Carl asks that no one admit strangers
to their homes during the next week
or two, and that under no circum-
stances should a man who pretends to
be selling books, patent cooking uten-
sils, furniture polish or some other ar
tlcle usually peddled by agents be al
lowed to enter the house. This is
known to be the method by which the
burglar got the LAY of the land" and
selected the houses which he wished
to enter and which he thought would
prove the most profitable. If all sus-
fpicious characters who are seen loiter-
ing about the streets are reported to
the police the matter will be investi-
gated at once, and by all means the
residents should report at once when
a stranger attempts to enter the house
upon any pretext whatever.
