CHICAGO REFCRMER ASKS
CROOKS TO VISIT HIS HOME
He Would Extend Hand Of Friendship
and Serve Refreshments
To Them.

CHICAGO. Sept. 22.-lf the hand
of fellowship were extended to burg
lars, second-story men. crooks and
others OF this stripe instead OF kick
and a threat, the world would be bet
ter and there would be no need OF
locks and keys.
This is the belief of Henry Nell,
secretary of the National Probation
league. and TO show that he is will
ing TO practice what he breaches.
Neil had all locks and bars removed
from the windows and doors of his
home today. Any visitor who cares
TO enter his house Is welcome, said
Neil, and the only favor he asks is
that II they enter at night they waken
him SO that he may serve refresh
ments and have a little chat.
Neil Is confident that no one is a
burglar for fun and that at the bot
tom OF every robbery there Is a sane
and reasonable excuse. Locks and
iron bars are relics of a barbarous
age, he said.

Of TWO and three prisoners into cell
to accommodate the victims OF score
OF raids made In the tenderloin last
night and early today. Not In years
have the police acted so rapidly. with
the result that the number OF victims
bagged was a record for the territory
covered.
All OF the raids were made on war

young policemen who nave been work

orders issued by Mayor Gaynor. Com

Acting Mayor Mitchers investigators
were active in the White Light Dis
trict and they found no difficulty In
getting into many illegal resorts and
securing evidence.
Most OF the establishments. raided
were run as manicure pariors and the
inmates were arraigned In the wo-
mems court. where. under the new
wItfey=weFt affaadi for exaF4fffH-
ton by the health department physi-
clans.
During the raids the police allege
they were offered cash TO permit the
proprietors OF the several resorts TO
escape and additional charges were
entered against the alleged bribers.
The police also picked up some pio-
neers in new industry, men who they
allege have been operating through
the district claiming to be special In
vestigators under the acting mayor
and ievying bfackmati on the illegal
resort prOprtetors.

ghost of the treasurer wound up
rather lamely.
After portions of his fog-like per-
sonage had been pulled apart by his
hearers and taken to various diver

being reassembled went on as fol-
lows:
"Old Barlow insisted upon having
the pleasure OF awakening his

THAT was something OF a facer for
Old Barlow. He didn't know what to

cancns of haunting, you know. Il was
really rather embarrassing, so, to

one of the kind that Will try to write
play about anything, whether he
knows anything about the subject o.
not Somehow Jules got IL into his
head that mothers suffer when they
have To surrender their sons to the

play called Mother VIM. A. Brady
didn't know any more about the mat
ter than Goodman did, so he produced
1t, and it's running now at the Hackett
in Forty-second-st.
Here's a sample of how far Brady
and Goodman went wrong In trying TO
depict home life: It's bedtime; two
boys kneel down beside their beds TO
say their prayers; mother sits In
chair nearby. All Is silence. Just "a
the scene begins TO seem real ant
sweet, mother gets up, walks over to
the boys, and as they kneel with bow

tells them TO get into bed. It's mil

Drain Commissioner

This year for the first time the
voters will elect the county drain
commissioner, the board of supervi-
sors having heretofore elected this
official. The office is really a very
important one and one in which ex-
perience counts for much when it
comes to the actual work of locat-
ing and constructing drains. An in
experienced commissioner cannot help
but make some mistakes which are
costly for the taxpayers and are only
avoided by the knowledge gained from
the work of the office. The present
incumbent of the office, John Bout
well, knows every detail of the work
and his reelection will mean the
same careful, painstaking, economi-
cal administration which has marked
Lis entire course in the office. The
reelection OF Mr. Boutwell, will mean
the saving of hundreds and possibly
thousands of dollars during the term
CT office to taxpayers whose lands
are assessed for drains. 1t is to the
interest of every taxpayer to have
John Boutwell, continued in office.
Democratic and Prohibition voters,
Will do well to put cross opposite
the name of Mr.. Boutwell, on the Re-
publican ticket.
