EFFECT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Now that the word has been passed out to the
gunmen and auto thieves of New York city that the
police mean business" there has been a cessation
of the hold-ups, MURDERS and shooting up the town"
that have terrorzed New York.
The real cause of crime wave in any commun-
ity can usually be traced to the fact that the police
do not mean business, and criminals know it,
That may be the fault of the police themselves, it
may be the fault of their superiors it may be the
fault of the courts which do not convict men arrested
and plainly guilty of crime. But in any event viola
ton Of the law, be it by the gunmen of tenderloin
district by respectable directors of great corpora
on can be traced largely to the fact that those who
wish to transgress laws believe the authorities do
not mean business"
If those intrusted with the enforcement of the
law, from the higher courts down to the patrolmen,
would do their duty, free from fear and withou,
favor aiming to deal out justice unalloyed by tech
ncates and demurrers, we might dispense with
our law-making bodies for generation. When courts
prosecutors, grand juries, and the police of COM
muniy let the word 60 out that they all mean busi-
ness, it Immediately becomes well-governed law
abiding place. and there is demand for more laws

OFFICER BRAND MAKES A TRIP
ToELktMs CARES FOR LITTLE
WAIFS.

Yesterday Humane officer Brand, of
this city, took to the city Of Elkins
four children who were placed in the
home located in that city.
Three little girls, all sisters, and a
boy from another family were taken
to the home, where they will be given
attention until they are adopted by
some respectable, honest persons who
have no children of their own.
The children are all bright and are
sure TO- soon secure homes with some
family where they will be given q real
home and an education.
Mr. Brand returned to this city last
evening, and to-day he will go to
Wheeling, where he will place anoth-
er girl, Who is between 1S and II
years Of age, in the Florence Crltten-
den Home for Girls, which is located
in that city.
The girl whom Mr. Brand will take
to Wheeling is a sister to the three
little girls who were yesterday taken
to Elklns and placed in the home
there.
Thegirls were taken from an un'
desirable home which their father
made for them at Salt Lick, near Man
ningtOn, while the little lad who was
taken to Elklns is a son of a local
family who were not giving the lad
the proper kind of treatment.
The Humane officers are very active
in this city, and the society is proving
a Gonl send to many unfortunate chill
dren, as well as to many unfortunates
who are in desperate straights.

When questioned by the cashier as
to whether or not Mr.. Hennen owed

ayerred that he did. and that he had

The cashier called up Mr.. Hennen's

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. = Almost
weeping with anger and with what
he said was climax in effort to hu-
initiate him. President Gompers, Of
the American Federation of Labor,
made 1t plain to Justice Daniel Thew
Wright to-day that rather than apollo
gize to the court for alleged contempt,
he and his associates now facing pun
ishment for that crime would go to
jail.
You break my neart, YOU humlliate
me, you insult me, said Gompers, his
form shaking with emotion when At
torney J. j. Darlington, cross exam
iner had intimated that the labor lead
ers could avoid any punishment by
apology.
Gompers for the second day faced
n severe cross examination by one of
the prosecutors" appointed by JUS
tice Wright in a renewed proceeding
against Gompers, Mitchell and Morri'
son growing from the famous Bucks
stove and range contempt case.
