prove fatal.
The affair. according to the allega-

POLICE NOT BUSY
Co.d Weather Has Quieting Effect on
Petty Criminals.

With the approach of frigid wealth
er, there is practically no crime in
Topeka, although the officers of the
police department expect to hear OF
weather has been so cold that it mas
no doubt caused the lawlesS element
to remain around the fire and forget
to follow up the usual habits
F. H Crist. a negro, was arrested
at the transfer station at 4 O'CLOCK
Friday on the charge of being drunk,
and he is the last man to be arrested
as an offender of the peace and quiet
of the community. The police VINO
We're on duty last night reported that
but few people were on the street after
the early hours and that everybody re-
manned at home when possible 81
course there are number Who nave
no home, but this class lOafed around
the fire in the pool halls or depOtS I'M
til closing time and then they sought
other places of refuge.
The police do not expect to receive
reports of crime until after the wealth
er moderates and begins to grow
warmer and then they think that the
laWless element and a number of des-
titute persons will get in their work.
The 1awless element will do this by
reason of it being their busin ess and
the destitute will do it through neceS-
sity on account of the lack of food and
clothing and something to keep their
families warm.
The police have received practically
no calls of suffering from lack of food
or clothing by the destitute classes,
but it is known that there are people
who are suffering and every patrolman
in the city is cautioned to observe such
people and report to headquarters as
soon as they find people who are sui
fering. There is a large number OF
people who are suffering but naturally
they think more of relieving the stu
alton than in reporting their condition
to the police.
Mrs. D. Sare. the police matron, is
busy today looking after the condition
of a number of families through out
the city which she believes to be suf-
fering. She has assisted these famllles
on previous occasions and firmly be-
lieves that they are suffering as none
of them has any support and without
this they are unable to exist without
some suffering.
Among the families which she will
visit today is at BIS West Gordon
street Here is a family of six chill
dren and a mother who has been de-
serted by her husband. This family
is without any support whatever ana
needs the assistance of the city An
other family is in the first block on
West Gordon street. There is a fam
ily Of six children and an old couple
in this place Mrs. Sare has assisted
them on former occasions and believes
that they will need assistance of some
character on this occasion
There is another old woman at 1926
Topeka avenue: a colored woman at
1O13 Kansas avenue who is confined
to her bed on account of sickness, and
a colored family at 1888 Lawrence
street. The husband of the family on
Lawrence street was injured in an ac-
cident at VOLTS hacking plant about
six weeks ago and he has been con
fined to his bed ever since he IS the

are in destitute circumstances.
