w b Nichols, chief of police, will
leave tonight for Chicago, where he
will address the National Association

stance follows:

Each city in the United States would
report TO some central point all prop
erty stolen reported TO the police in
each OF the cities A minute deScrip-
ton would be furnished in the tce-
graphic report TO the clearing house.

try the loss and the description BY
following this method, 1t is the belief
OF Chief Nichrs. that all stolen prop
crty which is offered for sale in any
city would be recovered.
II watch was stolen in Oklahoma
City. the number ou the works would
be wired to the clearing house, then il
the watch was offered for sale in New
York, New Orleans, Chicago or Frisco
or anyoher city, the police departments
in those cities would know that it was
stolen from Oklahoma City and would
recover it. The same would be done
in the event that an automobile was
stolen.
