Crooks to Be Posted.
| Mai Sylvester has received about 800
photographs of crooks to be billed in
prominent places about the city during
the inaugural period. The pictures have
come from all sections of the country, he
states. and only pictures of persons who
have been convicted, he says. will be dis
played Those already received are pho
and hOuSebreakers
There is no reason why the scheme
| should not work WE'LL commented the
| chief of police this morning. The photo
| graphs are likenesses Of men who are
| likely to follow big gatherings. and the
display of their pictures might be the
means of causing their apprehension
| should they come here.

formation leading to the arrest OF offend
ing crooks during inaugural week. His
offer, ii is thought will mean the enlist
ing of the services OF many persons
other than detectives in the crusade
against crooks during the time the city
is filled with visitors.

tives during the inaugural period. If the
plans Of Mai. Sylvester become effective.

companies of scouts perform duty In the
larger apartment houses.

apartments so hurriedly when on their

vision might tour the apartment houses
and try the doors. Their work might be
the means of preventing many thcfts and
save much valuable property from being
taken.

of hon0ring President-elect Wilson are
not suffrag ettes. They are the members
