AUTOS AND CRIME

When the criminal record of the
present period is written at some
future time a special chapter must
be devoted to the part played by the
automobile in violations of the law,
says an eastern writer. Indeed, at
the present rate, especially in New
York, motor car work by thieves and
thugs is threatening to BATTLE the
police completely. Within week
three highway robberies have been
committed in the great city, and the
thieves have made their escape by
the use of automobiles. Saturday
last two men knocked their victim
down in front of one OF the banks,
stole 1865 and escaped in touring
car. Five days later three men at
tackled two bank messengers who
were riding in a taxicab with $1,000
in their charge, took the money and
escaped in another car. The next day
three men attacked a diamond mer-
chant, and after robbing him of ten
thousand dollars worth of gems, got
away in an automobile. All three Of
these rpbberies were committed in
daylight, and were witnessed by BY
ISLANDERS who were unable to move to
prevent the crimes or to overtake the
robbers. They acted In all the cases
With such swiftness and precision
of plan that they had no difficulty in
their work, and now the police are at
a loss to know what to do beyond
warning the people not to go abroad
carrying valuables without strong
guards. Last year three motor car
occurred. In April ten men
held up car In Brooklyn and
grabbed the jewelry of the men and
women and escaped in q motor. In
July three men in taxicab raided
a jewelry shop in the center Of New
York, stole tray of rings, killed
a clerk, and escaped. In October four
men held up fifty in billiard room,
got $1,000 in cash and jewelry and
escaped by a taxi. Thus the 1911
crimes were not as dashing or as
profitable as those that have already
been committed this year, the infer
ence being that the thieves are grow
ng holder. In a city as large as
New York it is next to impossible to
IDENTIFY every automobile, and even
when a taxicab is used and the
chauffeur is afterwards found, the
IDENTITY of the criminals who have
lsed 1t cannot be easily traced by|
his means. If these crimes have
,een committed by one gang Of
hieves 1t is probable that they will
,e ultimately caught. If, however,

'thers, the process of detection will

companies are set forth in this re-
port, which contains no less than $50
pages. In an Introductory note Com.
missioner Taylor gives a review OF
the insurance legislation enacted BY
the Twelfth legislative assembly and
calls attention to several meritorious
measures which failed Of enactment.
From a brief discussion Of the sub
ject OF fire prevention the following
paragraph is quoted:
1T is indeed a matter for congrat-
ulation that the people Of our state,
rejecting that spirit of conservation
which has lately become 90 dominant
in the public mind, are beginning to
sense the fact that the enormous
waste of property which annually
goes up in smoke presents a prob
lem which they can on longer afford
to ignore. About $s,ooo,ooo worth Of
property was destroyed by fire In this
state last year. The fiction that the
loss Of property thus destroyed 10
fully or even partially covered by in
surance' should be exploded. It Il
true that the owner of the property
may be Unidentified through the con-
tributions Of others; but tie loss It.

cHlNA'S APPEAL TO AMERICA.

cHlNA'S APPEAL TO AMERICA.
Three millions of people in cen
trail China are on the verge of starva
ton. Last summer the worst floods
in forty years destroyed the crops
in an area of $4,000 square miles.
Many have already died of hunger
and unless prompt relief is given,
multitudes Of men women and chill
dren must perish.
During the last few weeks the po-
litical and military news from China
has absorbed the attention and inter-
est of the world to the exclusion Of
the needs Of the hungry millions. No
harvest can be expected until May.
Until then the famine will be grow
ing daily more acute. The people to
be relieved are chiefly Woodworking
and honest farmers.
There is strong famine relief
committee in Shanghai composed Of
= both foreigners and Chinese of all
faiths. Bishop Graves, Of the Epis.
copal church, is chairman; DR.. WI
Ting Fang, former minister to the
United States, vice chairman; Rev.
E. c. Lobenstine, Of the Presbyterian
church. secretary; and Mr.. H. C..
Gulland, manager International
Banking corporation, treasurer. This
committee will employ as many as
possible of those able to labor In
building bikes and in such other work
as will help to prevent the recur-
renee Of flood and famine. This
work is in line with the recommends
lions of Mr.. G. D. Jameson, an en-
gineer sent to China by the Ameri-
can Red Cross. All labor is to be
paid for in grain, and not in money.
AS president Of the American Red
Cross, President Taft has issued a
proclamation asking the people of
the United States to help the people
of China. He has Joined with other
officers of the Red Cross is request.
Ing this citizens committee to make
known the facts. The Chinese govern
ment and people are doing what they
can to relieve the situation, but they
can meet only a fraction Of the
need.
This is one of the greatest famines
OF modern times. Six hundred thous-
and families are without food or
means of support. Fifteen dollars
Will save whole family from starva-
ton. Fifteen hundred dollars will
save one hundred families. Fifteen
thousand dollars will provide for one
thousand families. Hundreds Of
thousands of lives can thus be saved
If sufficiently prompt and generous
contributions are made.
Remittances should be sent to Mr..
Jacob H. schiff, treasurer, 1 Madi.

Brewery agents have got into row

The retadlts tried to stop th. brewery
branches selling beer to customers lin
case lots, claiming that inasmuch as
there was less than five gallons in
a case, the brewers had no right to
sell in single case lots. The point
was well taken, but the foxy brewers
got around it by adding three more
bottles to each case and adding q
cents to the prices. This ."stumped {"
the retailers and the brewers are now
getting most of the case business. We
