truders Away.
Every burglar is a coward.

This statement may be challenged
by those who have pictured the night
marauder as a bold, bad man, who, II
necessary, will kill to carry out his
purpose, but 1t is true because Chief
Of Police Harry L. Brooks, who has
made considerable research along the
lines Of criminology, says so.
"In all the years l have spent in
the police business l have never run
across a yegg or a burglar who was
not moral weakling," said the chief
1.-THE only physical harm burglar can
do is to frighten women and chill
dren. If there is man in the house
who makes show Of fight It's ten to
one that the intruder will take to his
heels
The chief made the state in connec-
ton with bulletin issued by the po-
lice department Saturday night, in
which the public is told how to keep
intruders away from their premises.
The bulletin reads as follows:
Gust about this time Of the the year
for many years past the police depart
ment has had to deal with numerous
burglaries in the city. The burglars
probably pick this time Of the year
to carry on their work because in
every home there are numerous
Christmas presents, some OF which
are very valuable
"In order to prevent a recurrence Of
this wave OF crime the department
wishes to offer the following sugges-
lions to the public:
"Be sure to lock all the doors and
windows to the house before retiring.
Don't leave jewelry or other val
uables on the porch or in any place
where they might be seen from the
street. A burglar n easy to be tempt
ed.
"If strange noises Of any kind are
heard. around the house, notify the
police department at once.
ut is a good idea to keep firearms
around the house. II an intruder
should manage to get In, a revolver
or shotgun would como in handy.
or you should awake in the night
and find an intruder in your room.
don't be alarmed. He will not hurt
you, for every burglar Is a coward.
Give him little time and he will

at is very important that a man
should be careful not to tell his wife
or any of the children about any
strange noises that he may have heard.

become, nervous than man, and such
nervousness sometimes results SER

Drunkenness Leads All Other
Crimes, with Disorderly
Conduct Second.

City police made GAS fewer arrests
in the year just ended than in 1914.
according to figures given out by the
police department Saturday night.
The total number of arrests in the
last twelve months was 1,025 as conf
pared with 1870 in the previous
year.
Drunkenness led all other crimes
in the last year, S57 arrests being
made for that offense. Disorderly con-
duct ran second. 174 persons having
been taken into custody on that
charge. vagrancy came last, only
twenty-nine knights Of the road being
jailed by the city officers in the
twelve months.
The figures are Of especial inter-
est in view of the strict enforcement
of the prohibition law, which, the pro-
hibitionists argue, reduces crime,
while the ants make hot denials OF
this assertion. Although the number
of arrests in 1915 was reduced only
GAS from the total of the previous year
IL is remembered that the prohibition
Law was in effect only six months OF
1914. In the first six months Of 1914
when the state was "wet," 1907 ar
rests we're made by the police, while
only 1863 persons were taken into Gus
tody in the remaining six months OF
the year, after the prohibition amend
ment went into effect.
OF the total number Of arrests
made in the year, seventy-six were for
the state and federal governments,

HAS WR|SKEY
!. LEGAL VALUE
IN THIS STATE?
This is Question lat Issue Il
Larceny Case in CabelI
County.

The question of whether or not
whiskey has sale or market value In
West Virginia arises in the case Of
Bertha White, 40 years old, negress,
bound over to the grand jury In Mag
istrate T. G. Rogers's court at Hunt
ington charged with stealing four pints
Of liquor. The woman waived exam
nation and the details of the case
were not brought out.
According to the authorities, how
ever, the negress stole four plnts Of
liquor, owned by G. b. Brooks, from q
Third avenue restaurant. Brooks was
eating at the time and had left the
liquor near his table. The negress Is
said to have grabbed the wet goods
and run. She was represented in court
by an attorney.
In the statute defining and provid-
ing the penalty for petit larceny 1t
is provided that the article stolen
must be Of value. In West Virginia 1t
is illegal to sell liquor and therefore
the goods have no market value with
in the confines Of the state. The lar
ceny statute applies only to West vlr-
ginia, other states having their own
laws. The market value they said is
"the" value.
Therefore, several attorneys de-
clared the woman could not be con-
visited, having stolen nothing Of legal
value.
Others contended that as persons
are permitted to buy whiskey and
bring 1t into the state under certain
restrictions, 1t is therefore legal prop
erty and has value.
Magistrate Rogers had no other al
tentative than to bind the woman to
await action Of the January grand
jury since she waived the preliminary
examination.

But Two or Three Months
after that Date.

Judge George w Atkinson returned
To Washington Sunday night follow
Ing a stay Of several days here. Mrs.
Atkinson was unable to accompany
him on account Of o severe cold. II
was necessary for the Judge to return
as the United States court Of claims,
Of which he Is q member, will resume
Its work Monday morning.
Before leaving Judge Atkinson stat
ed to the Telegram that he would not
retire from the court January 16, at
which time he is entitled to do 80
under the age limit and ten years Of
service, but that he would retire
shortly thereafter or possibly two
months after that date.
Appointed April S, 1906, by Theo-
dore Roosevelt, while he was presi-
dent, Judge Atkinson has been on that
bench approximately eleven years
The court Is one Of much Importance
with direct appeal to the United States
supreme court and 1t is hard-work-
Ing body. Judge Atkinson has done
great and distinguished service there
on and he has fully earned the right
Of retirement on full pay.

FACTORY WORKERS IN
DEFECTIVE BUILDINGS
ARE RUNNING A RISK
All Such Structures Should Be
Fireproof, Says Fire
Chief Huffman.

"As long as defective buildings are
used for the employment Of masses OF
people, the risk Of their lives is con-
siderable" says Fire Chief S. R. HUFF
man, in bulletin issued Saturday
night under the title of Safety OF
Factory Buildings" Buildings in which
number Of persons are employed
should be of tireproof construction
and should be equipped with enclosed
fire escapes, the bulletin says. Auto
matte fire alarms should be installed
on each floor, and the floors should
be divided by freproof walls with iron
folding doors. The text Of the bulle-
tin is as follows:
"The Peabody and Williamsburg
fires show concl;,,,'vely that as long as
defective buildi1ls are used for the
employment Of masses Of people, the
risk to their lives is considerable. TO
make factory buildings safe they must
be built of fireproof construction ana
with enclosed fire escapes. Each floor
must be equipped with automatic tire
alarms, and divided by fireproof walls
with iron folding doors.
when structures Of this kind are
erected the loss Of life will be greatly
reduced. The lessons taught by re-
cent disasters Of fires show that not
withstanding Investigations and rec
concentrations for Improvement in the
way Of fire escapes, little has been &C.
complished. The most successful plan
| is to have all business buildings and
factories made as nearly fireproof as
possible and have them provided with
inexpensive modern appliances to COM
municate quickly with the fire depart
ment. 1t is to be hoped that as new
buildings go up In this community
they will be more substantially built
than some Of the old structures being
used in this city at present"

SECESSION MOVEMENT
HALTED BY JACKSON
attitude Of the government toward the
New England states.

attitude Of the government toward the
New England states.
n was this notification idea that
later led to the violent debate In the
senate between Hayne, Of South Caro-
lima, and Daniel Webster. In Novem-
Der, 1882, soon after General jack
sons second election to the presidency
a convention was summoned to meet
at the capitol Of South Carolina to
consider the question still In issue.
The convention drew up and unani-
mously passed an ordinance OF NULL
tication," which embodies the views
Of one of the leading opponents OF
state sovereignty. John c. Calhoun.
The tariff law, which had been but re-
Gently enacted, was pronounced "null
and void, and no law, nor binding on
this state, its officers, or citizens 1t
was that ordinance that brought out
Jackson's strong proclamation. jack
sons popularity in the South as well
as in the North gave to his authority
,reat advantages and he did not hes
itate to act with characteristic de-
cision and promptness. He ordered
the collector Of customs to make use
Of the revenue cutters and any other
vessels that might be available for
the purpose Of Selling all cargoes IL
able to pay duties.
At the meeting of Congress in De-
cember the presidents annual mes
sage declared that 1t was his inten-
ton to treat all armed resistance as
treason against the United States.
This remarkable paper, written by
Edward Livingston, the secretary OF
state, not only set forth the constitu-
tional objections to notification with
great power, but it also showed clear
ly that the government would be des-
perately in earnest in the enforcement
Of its authority. This utterance and
the special message to Congress in
January, 1888, very generally COM
mended themselves to all except the
special advocates of notification. The
so-called Clay compromise Of 1888
propitiated South Carolina 80 that the
ordinance Of notification was aban-
doned.

BitofInteresting American His
tory Almost Forgotten is
4 Now Recalled.

II was on December 10, 1882, that
President Andrew Jackson issued his
proclamation against notification.
warning the people Of South Carolina
that they were being misled by de-
signing men, whose object was dis
union and treason, and that he had no
discretionary power. but must enforce
laws, of the Union. Congress came to
his aid and passed the so-called
force bill" in March, 1888, but In the
meantime a compromise tariff measure
had been agreed upon and made fur
Their resort to the force bill unneces-
sary. On March the South Carolina
convention met and repealed the or
dinance Of notification.
1t would not be correct to suppose
that the spirit OF notification was con-
fined to South Carolina or to the
southern states, for Ohio passed reso-
luton approving of the Kentucky and
Virginia resolution Of 1889. Ala
bama took similar measures, and the
Legislature of Maine passed resolu-
ton declared that the government, In
fixing the boundary by treaty with
Great Britain between Maine and Can
ada, had exceeded its constitutional
powers, and had encroached upon the
rights of the state of Maine.
The notification question was kept
well to the front in the national leg
islative halls almost from the adop-
ton of the constitution. During
Adams's administration there was SC
much opposition in some parts Of the
country to the alien and seditlon laws
that the people in several states bold
ly took the ground that the United
States government had no constitu-
tional right to pass and enforce a law
that was manifestly antagonistic to
the interest of any individual state
Thomas Jefferson, the author Of the
Declaration Of Independence, wrote
the Kentucky resolution in favor Of
state rights. The Hartford conven-
ton took similar views regarding the
