the views of Senator Tillman on it are
likely to attract much notice.
Senator Tilman in an interview
said:

it, to having white men under negroes.

HAMMOND
SITE FOR
FENCES

Hammond is the location of one OF
the worst automobile fences" in the
west. according to detective in one
of the Chicago police stations. The
statement was following the arrest of
Emmet Roland. a new automobile
bandit, who is believed to have had
something to do with the murder of
Joseph Logue in the Mcvicker Thea
ter building in Chicago.
Head of one detective agency thus
summed the situation:
The autmobile thieves maintain a
discipline and a modus operandf not
dissimiiar to those of any army in
time of war. There are department
heads lieutenants scouts and privates
in the ranks.
THE privates steal the cars; the
scouts find a market for them: the
1ieutenantS look after. such details as
repainting and disgusting the vehicles
and the department heads collect the
money dividing 1t among members of
their bands.
Most of the customers who buy
Chicago's stolen cars. which number at
least 1900 year, are farmers in the
middle and far west. The farmers will
pay $1,000 in cash for a secondhand
car that a city buyer would not buy
for more than $500 or $500.
These organized crooks, particularly
the ones in Hammond and Peoria, have
scouts all through the middle and far
west Any time a farmer is reported
as being in the market for an auto
mobile they send out car in charge
of a clever salesman who poses as a
man in need of cash quick. Often the

often realizes $4,000 or $4,000 for a

Two of the most notorious fence
towns for bands that have not yet
/ been broken up are Hammond Ind.
and Peoria. III. In both of these cities
there are men higher up in the pro.

of the Indifference of the authorities

Efficiency and reliability are the two
characteristics which are primarily re-
sponsible for Mr. Moores success, and
Mr.. Minas is bein congratulated by
those who know Mr.. Moore. for having
