books for teaching English, naturali-
cation advice and citizenship manuals,
community service in relating the

public library's opportunity for Am

the library is more inviting and less

have passes to enter the sacred pre-
cincts. turned a deaf ear to the mas

Crime Believed Premeditated.
Police are convinced that the man
who committed the three crimes in
three different houses inside of three
hours, did so after cold calculation
and not in a haphazard fashion.
Unwilling to throw his entire force
into the hunt, leaving the city at the
mercy of those who would be apt to
take advantage of the absence of the
police from their accustomed beats
Maj Pullman has called to his assis-
tance the military police of the city.
Lieut.. Col. H II. Bissell, provost
marshal. Immediately sent two relays
of eighty-four men to the various pre-
cinct stations to relieve the local off,
cials and with two of the officers of

Bissell sent ten of motorcycle sidecars
and three of the motor patrols.
Lieut. Howard Fiske. of the motor
transport, who assisted the local
health officers during the influenza
epidemic, volunteered his services
and a number of the cars under his
