CLEARED UP.

The action Of the grand jury oughtto
dispose finally Of the Brandt case ana
satisfy the public that whatever error
of Justice may have been committed "
was not the result Of a conspiracy or
OF the use of improper influence. The
grand fury has given the case a thorough
and painstaking investigation. and It's
conclusion corresponds with that of the
public. which appears 10 have been nut
i'm possession Of substantially all the evil
dence. After Mr. Schiff had publicly told
his side of the story the charge that the
processes Of justice had been misused by
plotters had few believers left.
The whole incident shows the need OF
keeping the courts and their work en-
tirely above suspicion. All this scandal
grew from the fact that prisoner who
had offended against man Of wealth
and Influence had received an eXtraor-
dinarily long sentence under circum-
stances which indicated laXity at least,
for the public prosecutor allowed a law
yer In private practice to usurp his func-
lions and the court did not take care to
determine whether or not the facts JUST
fed the charge Of burglary. These loose
methods should he stopped. District
attorneys should not show the com
plaisance which Mr. Jerome showed To
Mr.. Cans. and the police should not fur
nish criminal records TO he used in court
except on the request of proper public
officials. Without Irregularities no such
bubble as this Brandt case could have
been blown.

THE GRAND TOTAL.

1t is noteworthy that above s. per cent
OF the losses occurred from premises that
were occupied. About 60 per cent OF tue
total loss was attributed to downrlgh.
burglary, IS per cent TO sneak thieving' "
per cent to thefts by servants and the
balance OF IL per cent TO indetermlna"
causes. II must be noted that THESE
losses, while covering the United States
are only the reports of part OF the forV
companies engaged in burglary insurance
and furthermore that the uninsured ours'
laries are several times as numerous Do
those which are insured.
Therefore It is conservative to estima"
that the loss from residence and othef
burglaries In the United States must eA'
coed S2O00,000 year and that Ne"
York's share must be around N,0Ou"
II some recoveries of property are TO DC
deducted, there is an offset for insurance
premiums and the cost Of engaging pm
vate detectives to regain the loot, not "
mention the frequently extensive darn
ages to premises Besides the damage IN
cidental to entry and the search for val
uables, there is often wanton and ma
ncicus injury tn nronsrty.

THE SCIENCE OF BURGLARY.

Burglars do not usually act on chance.
They study an operation as carefully as
an engineer plans a railroad bridge
Sometimes they spend weeks and months
planning the details Of crime. They go
over the construction Of building, learn
the habits Of the occupants, become &C
quainted with servants or employees whom
they use and even hold rehearsals Of the
proposed deed, so as to make sure that
each felonious actor is perfect in his part
They arrange exits and entrances, know
where to find the loot and devise means
to keep policemen or watchmen engaged
elsewhere while they arc at work. If the
householder realized these facts, saw the
weak points in his defcnces and mended
them he would not so often mourn sud
den and unexpected" descent upon his
castle
There are two kinds Of precautionary
measures, which may be called mechani-
cal and moral. The latter includes every
thing relating to the occupants and visit
ors in a dwelling. How many housekeep-
ers know anything about their servants?
1t is a common experience that a de-
tective investigating robbery is told that
the servants name is Mary something-or-
other; she left last week: address not

PLEASANT REMINDERS.

No burglar can work without leaving
clews, Jimmy marks, footprints, and usu-
ally fingerprints. Only a few expert
crooks wear gloves. Doors and windows
should be left open in the condition left
by the burglar. Don't Investigate the
ground below the windows and thereby
spoil the footprints Of the marauder. In
five minutes rushing around, the needless
householder can muss up and make value
les a multitude Of clews. The servants
should be instructed not TO touch or dis
turb anything left by the burglar.
On the question whom to notify OF
visitation, II you are protected by a
surety company or a burglar alarm COM
pany, they should be Immediately in
formed. II you have reason to think that
burglars are still in the house, send for
the police II you are not protected by a
surety company, have sustained a con-
siderable loss and are willing to spend
something to recover the stolen goods,
send TO a reliable private detective
agency. The latter course is especially
followed when for business, professional
or social reasons, publicity is not desired.

Having taken all precautions within, the
householder should know what help he
can obtain In emergency from the out
side If he has telephone ii should be
located conveniently, preferably In his
bedroom, and he should have written or
in his memory the numbers Of police
headquarters and Of the nearest neigh
bors. A group Of suburbanites living near
one another can rig up an alarm system
which will summon all to the defence OF
each. The citizen who lives in the out.
living sections Of the city should know
where to find the nearest policeman on
fixed post or on beat. For an open sum-
mons of private or official aid there is
nothing better than the police whistle.
When you discover that burglars have
paid you a visit, what should you do?
1t is a question Of some Importance. The
first thing, generally speaking, is to do
nothing. That is, do not touch or disturb
the "eyidence"

prepared to open safes-leaving can
openers" drills and nitroglycerine for
more ambitious operations-he will be
bafried by the strongbox Embedded in the
wall. II Is necessary to have the safe
thus imbedded in the structure of the
building. not only to keep IL hidden. but
to prevent the intruder from putting it
under his arm and carrying 1t off with
him, as occasionally happens with small
detached safes. AS additional security
one might attach burglar alarm to the
strongbox. There are now some better
class apartments which have installed
wall safes as part of their furnish
ings along with ice boxes and vacuum
cleaners.
An open invitation to the burglar is
the undrawn window curtain when the
lights are lit at night, showing the in
terror arrangements of house, perhaps
a dining table with cut glass and silver,
valuable bric-a-brac and jewel-decked
women. The curtains should be drawn
not only at early evening. but they

possible that Mary is colleague OF

IL is important TO obtain and keep a list

locks, are astonishingly neglected. A
wealthy householder in Long Island made
the rounds of his home the other night
and found that the servants had left most
Of the doors and windows unfastened. 1t
is good thing for the master OF house
to make tour OF inspection occasionally.
II you have no servants. do 1t yourself;
get the locking up habit so you can't
sleep without performing the nightly duty.
The matter OF locks and keys is important
where there Is a large household and
many keys are used. Some Of the keys
may be lost and fall into evil hands;
others are taken away by discharged en-
ployes In these circumstances Il is
good idea to have the locks changed occa-
sionally, 80 that the old keys will not
serve for entry. The cost Of changing
locks Is not very large.
The unpickable lock is the dead bolt
type. with thin key yarlously notched.
A spring lock OF similar type cannot be
picked, but its bolt may be pushed back
by a common table knife inserted In the
