Strong Encouragement to
Criminals and Men Out
of Work
NO REFLECTION ON
THE POLICE FORCE
Emphasizes Warning to Ladies Who
Get Home After Nightfall--Banks
; Proper Place for Jewelry
and Cash, He Says
A. o. LANE

Money and valuables in private
homes and on the person of citizens
are a strong encouragement to crimf-
nails and an invitation to a man who
is out of work to secure. by becom-
ing a thief what he cannot secure
by employment" said Judge A. o.
Lane. city commissioner of public
Justice at the head of the police de-
partment, yesterday.
''Of all times in my knowledge the
present is the most fnopportune for
people to keep their valuables and
money on their person and in their
homes instead of in the banks" he
said. at is a known fact that there
are many people now out of employ
ment, which necessarily leads to idle
ness and what is worse. to crime in
the way of pocketbook snatching,
house robbery and so forth
This is no reflection on the police
force All well informed people know
that it is an utter impossibility to
police more than so square miles of
territory in a county where eX-con-
victs are turned loose ana Hook TO
the city to depend on their wits and
criminalities to make living.
For my part I carry very little
money or other valuables. The warn
ing should apply all the more to ladies
who get home after nightfall. | do
not believe any police force works
harder or more efficiently than ours.
but the fact remains that the police
forca 10 too small for this sized town
in normal times and therefore in these
extraordinary times people should aid.
them and cooperate with them by
keeping their money in the banks and
other yaluables In bank vaults.
knowledge that the people are in
clined to keep money and valuables
in the home is nothing other than an
encouragement to those out OF en-
ployment to invade the home and sup
ply by crime what they cannot secure
by work"

DISMISS FIDELITY SUIT
Quick Settlement i'm Topeka Bridge
and Iron Company Case-Good
Showing Made.

Last Saturday the funds of the Ma
tional Fidelity and Casualty company,
in the hands of the general agents,
Stephenson & Webb of Topeka, were
held up by a restraining order issued
by Judge Dana on complaint of the
Topeka Bridge and Iron company,
charging that the surety company was
liable in the matter of defense of a
claim for personal injuries brought by
Louis Grouse against the bridge COM
pany. ----..
Monday, arrangements were made
with the bridge company in a satisfac-
tory manner, which resulted in dis
missa1 of the suit
The National Fidelity and Casualty
company discontinued business in
Kansas March 1, 1915. Since that
time the company has paid more than
$50 claims under casualty policies and
surety bonds aggregating more than
$4,000.
This leaves but one unadjusted
claim in the entire state and that
claim will be disposed of as soon as
the courts viii allow" officer said
Today.
This is considered by insurance
men to be an especially rapid adjust
ment of a large number of claims for
a company, whose capital had become
impaired"
The reserves of the stock company
required by statute provide the protec-
ton for policyholders and bondhold-
ers, even though the owners of the
stock of the company suffer loss of
dividends and capital.

"BILL" IS WORRIED
Assistant Attorney General Fears for
His Famous BulldOg-Ap-
= Deals to City.

The order issued by Commissioner
w l. Porter requiring the muzzling of
all dogs in the city while the mad dog
scare Is on brought w. z. Montgomery
of the attorney generals office to the
city building bright and early the
other morning.
"Bilr' Montgomery s bulldog is al
ways lost. Occasionally he comes
home and eats a meal and looks in
on the family but generally he is trav-
cling Montgomery pays taxes on him
and doesn't want to lose him entirely
Consequently when he was unable to
muzzle the dog this morning, for the
very good reason that the dog was
not at home, he thought of safety
first and asked Commissioner Porter
to treat the dog with all due respect
if his men should find him patrolling
the streets unmuzzled.
