Arrests and Offenders.

On the always interesting subjects
of arrests and offenders he also with,
out hesitation gave this statement:
Srikingly significant are the fig
ures as to arrests and the lack OF re-
formatory institutions in this city, as
brought out by the survey of the Men
and Religion Movement social service
committee, just completed While the
figures have not been analysed as vet

Women's Christian Association, which
seems to be the only one In the city
now doing anything like institutional
work, has relieved and aided twenty
seven families this winter, and has
been greatly handicapped by the lack
of adequate provisions. A number of
churches have aided the applicants
for help, and it is considered probable
that some families have managed to
exc out more or less comfortable
living without the necessity of much
toll, simply because those charitably
inclined have given without the op-
portunity of investigating. And there.
in lies the greatest danger of the
present haphazard methods-that
those who might with proper care be
reclaimed and made into the kind of
industrious citizens needed will de-
generate into the spongers on the
charttably inclined, raising family
of children inoculated with the same
virus OF laziness. Every community
has this class. and it is due to the

What They Have Found Out in Their
Examination Of the Con-
dltlons in keo-
kuk.
GENERAL SURVEY
Some Interesting Facts Stated With
the crimlnality of the City
as They Find

The officers and members Of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
In keokuk have been busy since Its
recent organization here in examining
into the vital conditions of the city
Their report as to facts and deduc
tons have not yet been fully analysed
but enough has been developed to
give fair outline of some of the dis.
coveries made in the canvass and ex-
Rminations.
That the readers of The Gate City
might be early informed OF the prob
able conclusions of these reports a
representative Of this paper called
on the leading worker in this move
ment today and asked for an inter
view with the purpose of getting as
much of the anticipated facts and
deductions as might be developed In
advance of the final and general re-
port.
The Social Service.
Asked about the social service sur.
yey of the city, he very readily made
this statement:
The completion of the social sur.
vey of the Men and Religion Forward
Movement again calls attention to the
lack of any means of extending help
to those temporarily in distress in
this city. 1t notes that there is no
free medical or nursing service While
it is recognized that the physicians of
the city have been very generous in
times past both with their time and
skill and their money, and that neigh.
borhood volunteer nursing has done
much to alleviate the ills OF long con.
tinued sickness, there Is still the
problem Of the care OF those who
have come to the city as strangers,
in search Of work, and have either
failed in their search or have not
been here long enough to give them
an opportunity to recover from firean.
cial difficulties or to establish them.
selves.
For the problem is squarely up to
the people of this city that If 1t is to
be manufacturing town there must
be some more provisions made for
the care OF the factory people. The
questions of housing, the regulation
OF employment, the sanitary condi.
tons not only of the factories in
which the employees work but also of
their surroundings when not at work
are of vital Importance to the manu-
facturer as we'll as to the employe. II
there is to be a great influx of popula-
tion as the result of factory location
such as the population OF the town is
now confidently looking for, there
must be immediate establishment OF
those agencies for the prevention Of
unsatisfactory conditions as well as
the conservation of present advant
ageous customs.
1T is noted in the reports received
that the city has no charity organiza
ton of any kind that investigates and
reports on cases OF restitution. Else
whore In cities of this size some cen
trail bureau has been charged Will
the duty OF learning the causes o
restitution and often remedying then
by the simple means Of bringing to
gether the factors that make for pros

BURGLARS AT
 WORK IN THE CITY

Housebreakers were active Sunday night and early Monday morning and three residents of the city reported that their homes had been entered and small sums of money taken. Tn each instance nothing but cash had been stolen as far as could be learn ed
 The home of J. D.. Wilcox, Twen- tieth and Ash street, was entered some time during the night and a small sum of money taken. At the home of Charles E. Royce $4.50 was stolen, and at the home of Craytoli Jaggers' at Sixteenth avenue and Cedar street, the thief took Mr. Jag gars' trousers out in the back yard took $10 in money out of the pock- cts, but left the watch, and threw the pants over the fence.
 The officers are working on the case but as no articles were taken that might serve as clue it will probably be difficult to identify the robber.

Coffinless Funeral,

Tho Bacchanalian funeral in Italy, which took half a day to reach the burial place, is very Nike what Dean Ramsay tells of bygone Scotland. There was the old maiden lady of strathspey who bade her grandnephew see that as much whisky was used at her funeral as had been used at her baptism. The churchyard was ten miles from her home; 1t was short November day: and night was closing in when the funeral procession ar. rived. But whaur's Miss Ketty?" ask. sd the grave digger. and being an. swered, "In her coffin, to be sure," he still missed the cofiin. Tho party, dur. ing halt at wayside inn. had rested 1t on 8 dyke. and forgotten 1t when they resumed their way; and the In. terment had to be postponed until the next day.
