Says Shoppers Are Thoughtless.

''If shoppers would exercise constant
thoughtfulness." said Maj. Pullman to a
Star reporter, there would be fewer
robberies.
When they go shopping" he said. they
forget everything else and leave their
handbags where they prove tempting to
persons who do not mind taking what is
in sight
Last night the captains of the pre-
cincts in the shopping district instruct
ed members of their commands to be
on the alert. The men were instructed
to watch for dishonest persons and also
to assist in regulating traffic to pre-
vent accidents.
Streets in the shopping districts were
crowded with automobiles. carriages
and delivery wagons all day and until
late in the evening, and in the first pre-
cinct Capt. Flather was much in eVI-
dence on the crowded streets to assist
in regulating traffic. 1t was suggested
by many business men that this super
vision of the shopping district undoubt-
edly was the means of making the
streets much safer.
