POLICE DRAG THE CITY
IN HOPES OF GETTING
SOME CLUE TO H0LDUPS

During the last two days the police
department has been dragging the
city in the hope of getting some clue
to the recent hOldups that have taken
place. Some fifteen or twenty men
have been taken in charge and put
through an Identification course. It
is believed at the police department
that the two men who have been per-
petrating the holdups have an auto
mobile and Immediately after pulling
a job get into their car and are soon
out of the neighborhood. At the last
holdup near the Santa Fe shops the
victim noticed an empty car standing
close by.
Returning to the scene after being
told by the highwaymen to go on he
found the car gone. This. together
with other information that the police
have been able to get leads them to
the conclusion they have come to.
They are constantly on the watch and
it is thought that within the next few
days the men will be behind the bars
at the city Jail.
Late last night there were seven
teen men being held at the city Jail
to answer to different charges -Four
of the men are being held for the
federal authorities on the charge of
breaking into box car that was
standing on a siding near Engle.

HUN ONSLAUGHT WAS

Today Marks Anniversary of First Terrific German Drive Against
 British Lines in Picardy.

Washington, March 21.-One year

 peak of it's power, poured down on
 the British lines in. Picardy, bent on
 winning an overwhelming victory be- .fore Am erican troops should reach
 the front in force.
 / Today Germany no longer exists as
 a military. power; her gigantic war
 ma chine has collapsed, and the Amer

 When the cables on March 21, E 1918, brought the news of the first terrific German onslaught, American effort, officers here today recalled, was striving toward the production of an army of 5,000,O0O men, euuip- ped to bring victory in 1919. Within less than nine months the first and 1 second American army had broken 1 the very hinge of the whole enemy i front with the capture of Sedan, while | decided victories had been won by 1 the British and Frenck.

SHORTAGE OF TENEMENTS
Since 1915 Building Of Dwelling Houses in This City Has Decreased 152 Per Cent

At the present time one of the big problems facing this city is the lack of tenements. Many cases have been - know where people erecting houses have had applications for tenements long before the houses were comD1et- ed. A good tenement is an unknown luxury and as far as can be learned there are few idle rents. One case is known where very, recently a house was altered and made into two tene- mentS.s The altera tions were for the use of the immed family but the owner had~over so applicants looking for the rent. Another one is known where g, man reported he was going to move and over 100 people sought the owner of the house to engage the tenem ent. The same was true of man who built a new house on the outskirts of the city and was be- sicged by people wanting to rent it.
 The reason for these conditions is easily seen by reviewing the figures in the office of the building inspector, which show the number of tenements erected. In 1918 there were but 6S tenements erected and in 1917 the number was 142, or a decrease of 48 per cent In 1916 the number was 363 and the year before, or 1915, the number was 446. The percentage of decrease in tenements between the years 1915 and 1918 was 152.

GOVERNMENT SLEUTHS RI|NNING DOWN FRAUDS Private Tax Advisers Reap Harvest Giving False
 Information.

Washington. March 21.-F'raud Or misrepreSontatiOn by private income fax advisers in many cities has been ,-enorted hv revenue officers, 1t was learned today, and investigations are to he made by U $. attorneys. Prose cutions are probable in Q number or cases.
 Private advisers reaped a harvest last week, according to the reports, during the rush of citizens to file thelr income returns. The advisers. opened offices and by Advertising, drew thou sands of persons to them... Revenue officials charge that many of them were guilty of illegal practices in leading citizens to believe that their offices were branches of the reNe- nue collectors organizations and in aiding taxpayers in making out false or misleading returns.
 Revenue bureau officials said today these reports indicated the practice was widespread, although they had not yet compiled a list of cities from which reports came, to be referred tC the department of justice. Officials also explained that the criticism did not refer to banks and reputable business institutions which gave alC ] to the revenue authorities in spread i ing correct information on the tax i system.
 1 To make repetition of this condition ! impossible next year, Internal ReVe 1 nue Commissioner Roper plans tC ! build up an organization of thousands 1 of volunteers to be given class instruc. ! tion on tax regulations for dissemina- ] tion to taxpayers.
