CHICAGO, Oct. 50-The rebuke ad,
ministeTed by Captain Wood 10 the po-
lice department in general and the de-
tective force In particular with regard
TO the great number Of robberies. parse
snatchings, and similar crimes which
have been committed within tn past
month. and the paucity OF arrests
in connection with these affairs has
borne fruit
a large number of pickpockets and
notorious sneak thieves have been ar
rested within the last twenty-four
hours and will be arraigned in the po-
lice court tomorrow morning.
For the last month conditions in
Chicago have been growing worse. Il
became a common thing for two OF
three dozen complaints to re~Ch head
quarters each day Of the activities of
the thieves Finally, Captain Wood ad-
ministered a stinging rebuke to the
members OF the force and intimated
that # conditions were not improved
within a short time there would be
SOME vacancies OF the force.
Noted Crooks on List.
= glance over the "bIotter," or book
In which the police keep the records of
arrests and complaints. this morning
showed the names of a large number
Of men whose activities along this par
ucular line OF work is well known.
Among the names recorded were those
OF men who have worked all over the
country, and whose abilities range
from the simple picking Of pockets to
highway robbery or clever swindlinG
schemes.
A large number of the men already
taken in have been identified by theiI
victims and the authorities expect to
recover the greater portion of the spoil.
II Is stated that more than $5D,OO
worth OF jewelry alone has been stolen
within the past thirty DAYS.
The number Of street CarnivalS has
been responsible for the increase OF
crime this fall, say the police.
New Schemes Worked.
Among the new schemes the pick
pockets are working this fall is one
particularly applicable 10 the P-A-Y-E
cars, at least TO those with the box at
the entrances where the fare is to be
dropped. The thieves usually work in
pairs on these occasions. One Of them
boards the car in advance of the crowd
and stops TO drop his fare in the box
Instead he drops il on the floor, the rest
OF the incoming passengers being crowd
ed into a small space. and some at
least, stopping over to help him recover
his lost fare
IN the excitement and crush, the con-
IeoeraIe can easily relieve one or more
OF me passengers Of their pocketbooks or
Mdtches Win little chance Of detection.

FOREIGN Geography.

Children OF European birth who were
old enough to receive some instruction
IN geography before coming TO this
country hold opinions In regard to the
political divisions Of the earth which
all the American geographers and the
teachers thereof combined cannot up
root. A New York teacher found that
out when she tried TO impress upon a
young Austrian miss that Columbus is
the capital Of Ohio
ut Is Cincinnati, on the Ohio" re-
torted the Austrian maiden politely,
but firmly.
Maps and printed text were produced
to prove her error The pupil was In
nowise convinced
1T wasn't that way in our geogra-
ply at home" said she. And the next
day, to uphold her contention. she
brought the geography on which she
based her assertion. That book was
not a perfect product Of the geography
makers art. for Il certainly did state
that Cincinnati. on the Ohio river. was
the capital Of Ohio.
But that il a mistake" said the
teacher. Then day after day. when
the girl was called upon TO recite. the
teacher put the question OF discord.
"what is the capital Of ohioy' and day
after day. at the risk Of bad marks.
came the positive reply. Cincinnati.
on the ohio."-New York Press.
