BURGLARS BUSY IN
 PRESCOTT YESTERDAY
Two Business Houses Robbed Yester- day and one Last Night Ne grOes Burglarize Drug Stores
 In Day Light.

Yesterday afternoon about $50 three negroes entered the Stainton Drug Store and one of them present. ed prescription to Mr. Stainton to be filled. There was no one in the store with MT. Stainton and while he was filling the prescription one of the negroes opened the jewelry case and took gold watch from it.
 Two of the negroes then went to Guthrie Drug Store few doors north of Stainton Drug Store and one of them asked to have a prescription filled, while the other one stopped at the front door. The negro who had the prescription was very particular to have the directions written on the package and followed Mr. Moore, the only clerk in the store at the time to the prescription case, which is in the rear of the store. The negro stand ing at the door told the other negro that he was going down the street and was asked to wait until they had se- cured the medicine Mr. Moore sus- pected something and while preparing the medicine heard one of the show cases open. He ran from behind the prescription case and saw the negro in the front of the store with his hand in the case and before he could get to him he withdrew his hand and put it in the pocket of his rain coat. The negro then broke for the door, jumped off the side walk and made his escape. The other negro stated that he did and that he had never seen him until yesterday.
 It is supposed that the trio were all working together One of them was caught and is now in the city jail but claims that he had nothing to do with the others.
 The third robbery occurred at J. E.. Daniels X Son cafe on East Front Street. This place of business is kept open until twelve o'clock at night and last night was open until 12:30. Af- ter this time some one entered the window at the back of the building and secured S60.OO in money and SIP in checks. Entrance was gained by shaking the stick from over the win dow or by entering the store before it was closed and removing it. Moth ing else in the store was bothered

ficials of the state and navy depart

There were indications, however,
that the Washington government
would continue to regard TampiCO as
an open port. With the Cuban steam

ton on that point-what the United

Unofficial reports stated that the
Sunshine had sailed from Galveston
with clearance papers for Havana but
instead Of going TO the Cuban port
sailed directly for TamPico.
Punishment for that alleged offense
would be dealt by authorities Of the

CITY MAY TAKE
THE KUPFR|AN'S
PARK PROPERTY
PROPOSITION FOR EXCHANGE OF
THAT PLACE FOR LOTS IN VA
RIoUs PARTS OF PENSACOLA
BEING CONSIDERED.

Mayor Greenhut and the city COM
missiOners had an interview yesterday
with those in charge of the Kupfria n
park property, in which it was urged
that the city exchange for the park
property lots OF an equal property val
uation in other parts of the city.
So far as the mayor is concerned,
he expressed the belief that such an
exchange could be arranged to the
satisfaction of all concerned, and the
question is being considered in earnest
by the city officials.
There are now thirteen parks in the
eastern part of the city, the mayor
argues, and but one in the western
half. He holds to the opinion that
the chance to get hold of the large
park at such terms and upon such ar
rangement as proposed. should be
seized. "One thing that appeals to
US" the mayor said, lis the fact that
we have but one public park in the
western part of the city, while in the
eastern half we have twelve or thir-
teen, believe, and some of them but
a few blocks apart from one another.
We need more parks in the wcSte
half, and I believe such an arrange
ment as was proposed could be worked
out to the satisfaction of all con-
Cerned. The property offered. | be
lieve, takes in tract of thirty nine
acres. which includes the race track
ana pd6SDdtl ground. 1 neil, announcer
thing, there could be had there an an
nual exposition. Like it is now the
fair association is poweriess to go
ahead and put up anything substan-
tial, because there is no way of tell
ing how soon the property will have
to be vacated. If the city had control
of it, the fair could be bigger fea-
ture than ever"
The city now owns quite number
of lots in various parts of the city,
which the mayor said could hardly
ever be made use of to the City's ad-
vantage. The lots are finely situat ted
for the building on them Of tenement
houses, but the city will never build
for rental purposes, and of this We
may be sure. | see no better way of
getting a value out of these lots than
that of trading them or som" of them
for the park property as proposed"
OF course it Is too early vet to
say what could and would be done
with the question hut Of ore thing
that there exists no uncertainty Of,
and that is the proposition has Gre
ated a favorable impression with the
city officials.

'DEFALCATIONS
DURING YEAR Of
FOUR MILLIONS
ACCORDING TO BULLETINS is
SUED BY NATIONAL SURETY
COMPANY, THE EVIL AMOUNTED
TO HUGE SUMS IN 1918.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


New York, June 6-DefalcatIons
amounting to approximately S4,000,0oO
were publicly reported in the United
States in 1913, according to estimates
Surety company and yesterday made
public by William B. Joyne, president.
Unreported and undiscovered defal-
cations, though impossible to compute
accurately, may be consequently esti-
mated at $4O.o00,O00.
The company seeks to call attention
TO the widespread nature of the defal-
cation evil Meagre salaries are un-
questionably one of the chief causes.
Clerks, managers and cashiers who
have tried unSucceSsfully TO support
large families on from SIS to 800 per
faulters. Another important cause of
defalcation has been the prevailing
business depression. Many VictimiZed
employers who, in times of pros perity
might have concealed their employers
de1alcation for business or humane
reasons, have been obliged to realize
on the detaulting employees bond be-
cause times were hard, and thus an
unusual number of defalcati0ns have
this year been made public.
That carelessness by employers and
public officials in checking up the
accounts of trusted employees has been
another leading cause of last years
defalcations is clearly shown by the
National Surety Company's records. A
bank cashier, for example, was recent
ly found to have stolen 10000 in small
amounts, undiscovered during ten years
although his books had been periOdi-
cally inspected by a government eX-
aminer. Whenever a patron bought an
exchange on a bank in another city,
this bank cashier would record a
smaller amount on his books and
pocket the difference. If the bank ex-
aminer had during this long per-
iod taken the trouble 10 write 70
the COrreSpOnd dent bank to verify the
cashiers reCoucilTncnt statement. this
defalCation would have been nipped in
the beginning.
Extravagant home life has caused
some remarkable deIalCations in 1919.
The wife Of a western railroad agent
stole $1,000 from her husbands cash
drawer in the railroad station recently
to spend on fast living and finery. The
husband was at first suspected and
threatened with permanent disgrace
and a prison term. When the true
facts came out, sympathy for this I'M
fortunate man was so general that the
the railroad refused TO exact his bond
or prosecute The bonding company
helped him get a legal separation from
his dishonest wife and the merchants
of the town started him in business SO
he could support his innocent children.
