THE LONDON POLICE IN
 LEAGUE WITH THIEVES
Observing Newsboy Brings About Sen.
 sationaI Disclosures.

London, June IA newsboy saw a man scale a stone wall the other day. From this trivial circumstance have resulted, disclosures of an alliance be- tween certain uniformed members of the London police force and thieves and highwaymen under which the po- lice have not only aided the thieves, but actually turned thieves themselves in their hours off duty.
 Almost every London householder has been in the habit of calling up the po- lice department on the eve of his va cation to ask him to guard his unoc-. cupied hoome. Consequently, the de- pertinent has an enormous list of un- occupied houses. The numbers of these houses are given the members of the force with instructions to watch for burglars.
 Recently there has been an epidemic of burglaries in the outlying resident 1al section of the city. Practically all the footed houses were homes of per sons away on vacation who had nott- fled the department of their plans. Very few of the burglars have been caught; in fact the patrolnen on the beat where the burglaries occurred in variably reported that they had seen no suspected characters in the neigh borhood. To make the problem still more difficult the burglertes were sell dom discovered until weeks afterwards when the owners returned home.
 A neWSboy, delivering his papers in the undertaken section of the suburbs saw man climb over the wall of a large garden surrounding a mansion that sits back well from the roadway. He had read of the burg1aries; his suspicious were aroused and he sum moned the nearest policeman, having telephoned already to the precinct sta. ton. Within a few minutes a cordon. of hobbies and detectives closed about the mansion.
 Three burglars were captured, red4 handed: one escaped by climbing tha wall and running. Of the trio cap tured two were found to be policemen i one of them, indeed, the man who did police duty eight hours @ day on the beat where the mansion was located. The newsboy glimpsed the escaping burglar and asserted that he, too, was a policeman. The third prisoner was notorious thief.
 Since the arrest of the burglar po- liceman an investigation has revealed that the case is by no means excep- tional, and that the, immunity from arrest enjoyed by many London burg lars is due to a widespread alliance with the police. Reluctantly, the Lon doner is abandoning the old custom of notifying the police when he eX- poets to take a vavcation. Instead, h@ is adopting the American habit of joining with his neighbors in ern- ploying a watchman. The first in- watch the police.
 It has not yet been necessary to ern- ploy some one to watch the watchman. When that time comes, 1t is not un- likely that the Londoner will dispense with his vacation altogether.

HEAVY EMIGRATION TO
 THE UNITED STATES.
In April 43,0oo People Sailed from
 Two German Ports.

Berlin, June 1-Emigration from Hamburg and Bremen is heavier than it has been in years. During April more than 43O0O persons left for the United States from these two ports alone. This was nearly double the number that left in April, 1912-seven ;. ty-six per cent. more, to be exact. Not since the tidal wave of emigration in 1907 has the exodus been so great
 Two causes are assigned for the ac tive emigration. First, political un- certainty and rumblings of war from the Balkans (echoed throughout East ern Europe for months) have caused the less warlike to long for homes where peace appears to be more stable The volume of emigration swelled from Russia and Austria. too, in the face of every discourage the gov ernments could place in the way of their subjects. Many persons were called to take up arms temporarily in both countries. and in Russia direct obstacles were placed in the path of wOuld-be emigrants.
 The second cause is the prevailing low steerage rate to Canada. This is the outgrowth of a rate war among several steamship companies. The fare has been shaved down to less than $20, thus making 1t possible for anybody to go.
