TO CATCH THIEVES.


Governor Hodges has been asked
by the small merchants in Kansas
towns to help them in their fight
against the silk thieves who are rob-
bling the merchants almost every day.
The Kansas Retailers association,
composed of several hundred mer-
chants throughout the state, are back
of the movement to get help from
the governor.
AT the last meeting of the associa-
ton committee on the question of
fighting the silk thieves was appoint
ed, and J. NJ. Clifford, chairman of the
committee, has asked the governor for
the rewards.
when a bank was being robbed in
Kansas every week." wrote Mr.. Cliff
ford, 1.-The state stopped it by offering
big rewards, many hundreds of dol
lars for their capture and conviction.
Do this and the silk thieves will be
driven out in a short time"
! If the governor does not act the
merchants will go before the legisla-
, ture and ask for a special apprOpria-
ton. The thieves never visit the larg-

Raise ODD Law POINT
IN This LITIGATION

An unusual case was heard in Mag
istrate Gluckmans court last night.
when a suit for damages up to S1OO
was brought against Constable Bow
ers and George Connolly by Richard
Meekins Magistrate Gluckman re-
served his decision until he can de-
termine whether a constable can
make levy when he is not actually
on the property, and whether a con-
stable acting as an agent can be equal
ly liable with the person who engages
him.
On May 2, Constable Bowers made
a levy on goods for rent for George
Connolly, of Third and French streets.
Connolly rented a house to man
named Spear, who i'm turn sub-let sew
eral rooms to Richard Meekins. Spear,
ii was alleged. was back in his rent,
and was preparing to leave the city.
Meekins, however. made prompt pay
ments. and on some occasions paid
his rent direct to Connolly, who gave
him receipts for it.
Meekins decided to move to house
a short distance away and had his
furniture on wagon when Constable
Bowers appeared and said he had
made a levy upon it and ordered It
taken to a store house He claims he
made the levy from across the street,
but several witnesses testified they
did not see him about the place.
According to the law, the landlord
cannot restrain any goods except
those of his tenant and in the house.
The goods were i'm the street when
the constable appeared. and the suit
for damages was brought to recover
from the landlord and the constable.
as Meekins claimed he had receipts
for his rent from Connolly The
suit is one Of the most unusual ever
heard by a magistrate and it is doubt
ful ff the courts have ever been
called upon to rule on similar case

BETTER Garbage SYSTEM
IS Health board HOPE

Sitting as a committee of the whole
last night, members of City Council
held a conference with officials of
the Board of Health relative to the
collection and disposal of garbage.
It is believed that steps will soon
be taken TO improve the system and
eliminate the numerous complaints
that are almost constantly received
by the Board of Health relative to
garbage collection.
It was suggested by the health
board officials that the next Legis-
lature be asked to enact measures
that will give this city the power to
eliminate the present system and to
arrange to collect and dispose of
garbage the same as the Street and
Sewer Department now collects ashes
and rubbish. The health officials fa-
yOr the Trenton. n. j., plan whereby
garbage is wrapped in paper and set
along the curb or placed in cans on
the curb, from which the collectors
gather it,
1t was suggested that sewage en-
gineers be engaged to come to this
city and look over the ground and
then submit to Council their recon-
mendations and plans whereby the
system could be worked out and what
would be the best method to follow
in Wilmington. They have been in
communication with the best en-
gineers of the kind in the country
and they would come here and do the
work required of them for about S2,-
600.
The city would have its own dis
posal plant. under the contemplated
scheme and thus would derive some
revenue from the garbage disposal,
whereas it now pays to have the
work done
Council took no definite action on
the matter last night. The members,
however, appear favorable to the
health boards suggestion. The mem
bers who were in session with Coun-
ell are Drs. Julian Adair, II. W..
Briggs, Frank Sparks and City En-
gineer Alexander Taylor.

There is no very great difference
in the uniforming of the police of our
American cities, and it is encourag-
ing to note that each year brings us
nearer to the adoption of a universal
uniform for policemen everywhere.
Practically the same type of cap, the
same type of blouses. collars. insig-

one for summer, with a State Coat OF

lots Of MOTOR
SPORT IN WEST
California to Be Center Of
ALI Big Events Until the
Indianapolis Race.

California is to be the motor racing
center Of the world until the 500 mile
race over the indianapolis speedway
attracts attention to the east in May
The Corona race. with its $12,5O0 purse
money attracted a brilliant field to
the Pacific coast, and there are events
on the speed calendar which VIII hold
Not only is there to be more high
class racing in the state than ever be-
fore. but 1915 is 10 see general re-
vival of the motor sport. Several big
makers who years ago retired from
the speed course are planning again TO
take up the speed end Of the game.
This is the word brought by Fred j.
Wagner, who is one Of the deans OF
the institution of automobile racing.
Wagner, who is known wherever rae
ing is, grew up with the automobile
industry. He helped racing in its
young, doubtful days and ever since
has been factor in the welfare of the
game through being ION the square"
Il look for a big year in the auto
mobile sport" said Wagner. Il am
influenced in this belief by recent
talks with manufacturers in the east.
Racing has reached such a dignified
and stable basis that 1t Is a decided
asset to the country
Some Of orr most businesslilSe fac
tories now are making large appropri-
ations for racing. For racing in
sense is business. And both maker
and the public may thank racing for
the rapid development Of the motor
car Had there been no speed con-
tests the automobile would be 10 years
behind what it is now. It would have
required at least 10 years more by or
binary experiences to find out what
racing has taught.
The oiling system Of the autOmo-
bile is Just one instance. I remember
when an automobile at speed nearly
blew up before the race was a quarter
run. In many races radiators actually
were put out of commission by the
heavy steam pressure. Such a thing is
unheard of today. And what the en-
Eineers learned in racing they tmme-
diately applied to stock cars. In that
way every race has helped the auto
mobile"
with the Corona race decided. the
drivers now will turn their attention
to San Diego, where, over the Point
Iona course, a race worth approx
Yl1ateIy S12, 900 viii be run Jan. 9. It is
very probable that every car which
came through Corona in good shape
will participate at San Diego. And the
field will be increased also by other
racers. It is even probable that one
OF two makers will give their Wander
bilt and Grand Prize racers a thor Ough
tryout in this race
The Vanderbilt and Grand Prize viii
be run over the exposition grounds, IN
February, in San Francisco.
The tendency among both the pro-
motors and drivers is for safe courses.
All other things being equal the San
IA Monica course is the greatest in the
world, because it is not only the SAT

w automobiles?
This is a question that has
often been asked but seldom answered.
Each year thousands of automobiles
are manufactured and sold and thou
sands are discarded to the scrapheap.
Like all pieces Of expensive machinery,
the automobile winds up its career Of
usefulness by being sold for old junk.
The engines are often sold TO second
hand dealers, who utilize them for
many different purposes.
Many of the automobiles purchased
years ago by Ell PasOans- have long
since found themselves in the discard,
while others have burned up. Perhaps
the oldest car in point of service now
owned in Ell Paso is a Rambler, pur-
chased in 1904 by Charles RAIDER. This
car has Travelled more than 1000
miles and is today being used by Mr..
RAIDER The car is now nearly Is years
old and has seen hard service over the
highways Of the southwest.
