TWO BLANKETS STOLEN
Police Recovered the Articles Taken
From WaddeII Premises.


Two blankets, one Navajo Indian
blanket, both very fine pieces of goods,
that were stolen from a line at the
residence of ]. j. Waddell five months
ago, have been recovered by the city
police department. The police also
have spotted the youth that took the
blankets and number of other art
icles. He is a lad of fifteen. Among
the plumber in his den were two bath
robes taken from the line at the home
of Leroy Franz on Van Brunt street.
These are also at the station. The po-
lice are not giving out the name OF the
lad and they were not sure this
morning that there would be any
prosecution. The idea was to hunt up
all the goods that the boy has taken
and get clean and thorough confess
sion out of him and restoration of
all the articles that he has been pill
fering away from the people of this
locality. Then the lad might be started
on the right road and have a chance
yet of leading an honest life.

personal or property rights so long
as he goes peaceably about his busi-
ness and conducts himself in law
abiding manner.
''The United States has never, in
any war, confiscated the property of
any foreign resident unless by his
own hostile acts he made it neces-
sary.
81 take this formal means Of de-
claring to all foreign born residents
that they will be protected in the
ownership of their property and
money and that they will be free
from personal molestation, so long
as they obey the laws of the State

81 urgently request that all our
citizens refrain from public discus
sions of questions involved in the
present crisis and maintain calm
and considerate attitude toward all
without regard for their nation
