est and most ineXplicable robberies

cred by Frank Tubman Wednesday
night when he returned to his home
on Alaska street to find a group of
men in his yard surrounding a bla.-

Thinking the bonfire a pile of rubbish

MUST RANK HIGH
TO BE PARIS COP

PARIS, October 1s.-Every summer
brings to Paris, among the hordes of
American visitors, number of men
vita'ly interested in the administration
of the police. They come to investi-
gate how "these things are done in
Europe,' with the view to improving
their own departments at home. They
are welcome visitors at the Paris pre-
lecture of police, and in the person of
Emile Laurent, general secretary of the
Paris prefecture, they have found a
courteous host, but at the same time
an official who has asked almost as
many questions as he has answered. Mr..
Laurent S curiosity as to police condi-
tons in America has given him rather
definite opinion as to what may he the
matter with the American system This
is what he has to say on the subject:
ut is not my business to criticize
the American police, hut venture to
express my personal opinion that a fun
damental error in the American system
is that insufficient attention is given by
the administration of police in Ameri-
can cities to the characters of the re.
cruits. Our system in France is to
make minute examination into the
record of the applicant for admission
to the force. We assume that man
who has at any time been guilty. of the
least dishonesty has flaw in his char.
aeter which will affect his conduct when
he is exposed 10 the temptations of n
policeman.
