Through the courtesy of the Chicago police de- partment. the names, pictures. and records of all pick-pockets. thieves and dangerous characters arrested in that city during the Presidents visit form ed "lesson No. |"
 Present indications are that by the time the President finally reaches Washington many of the light finger ed gentry who started on the tour with him, will be serving time on chaIngangs in the West and South.
