Halloween Vandalism VIII Be Severe
ly Dealt With Here.

Vandalism is going to be severely
prosecuted this Halloween. it is as
serted by Chief of Police Frank Har-
baugh, who announces that both the
day and night forces will be on duty
tonight and tomorrow, in addition to
the street workers. who have been
been deputized to make arrests. Both
city ordinances and state laws make
the destruction of either public or pri-
vate property a severe offense and
the punishment is drastic.
Both city and county officials have
announced their intention to arrest
every one found conducting them
selves in a disorderly manner or dis
turbins the peace of citizens and
promise that the limit of punishment
will be meted out. Deeds of vandal-
ism committed on former occasions
have convinced the police that only
the most harsh measures can over
come the perverted spirit of Hallow-
cen among the ruffian class.
Parents are urged. in particular. to
keep their children within doors or
a { least to make certain what they are
doing and how they are conducting
themselves if out. in order to protect
others as we'll as to protect themselves
from arrest.
Last night many gutter crossings
were stolen and street railway tracks
on West Fourth were torn up.
