With quite a number of daring rob-

of business; some property of promi-
nent men yet depart without taking
enough care to try their doors and
cooperate with the police as much as
possible in the preventing of crime.
After a robbery has been commit
ted the proprietor of the establish
ment where the act was committed,
will tell about the inactive police
force, yet before the robbery and
after the robberies have been report
ed, the officers find a number of doors
open. 1t would be best for the city
and the people at large, If the pro-
prietors Of the different business
houses would cooperate with the po-
lice
