BOLD CRIMINALS
ARE TERRORIZING
NEW YORK CITY

| SPECIAL eoRREsPosoENeE 70 MORNING JOURNAL,
! New York. Dec S-That the Grim
/ inal classes no longer stalk sJealthily
about this town but openly cavort and
/ conquer police protection at every
| turn, is now being admitted privately
| by many men most closely in touch
with the enforcement of the law here
abouts Highway robbery bold bur-
glary, sneak theft and even murder
and arson, have lately been pretty
generally reported rampant all over
this island, in the present succession
of crime waves that almost amount to
an overwhelming flood While eX-
pert criminologists declare that sim
! liar alarming conditions have been
brought about since the advent of pro-
hibition in every section of this coun-
try the police forces are seriously con
Cerned for the future here unless the
present tendency toward criminal ca
reerS is in some way checked.
Rush Radicals.
Responding to the slogan of the
League for Americanism, that has just
been launched in this state, New York
ers are eagerly echoing its call to
"Wallop the head Of every sOcialistic
idea on behalf of the great middle
classes of American citizens Before
this new force has gone very far in
its night on the local reds and boil
sheviki, it is likely that thousands Of
the plain people here will rush to en-
list under its crusade against such So
Cialstic schemes as compulsory health
insurance, state water power, munich
pal ownership and all other attempts
to introduce communism into the EN-
pire state. Since the recent revela-
tipng n tho a " bfpD The
throw Of American institutions is be-
ing plotted, great army of folks who
believe in Uncle Sans way of doing
things is ready here to rush all social
istic schemers, along with the anarch-
lists dump them into the bay and bid
them swim TO some other shores
where they may like the Institutions
better.
Seeks Substitutes.
Following the recent Roosevelt
family financing Of a chain Of tenn
perance taverns to attempt to refresh
Broadway FOUNDERS with coffee, cakes
and confectionery, hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of similar sta
tons are now said to be promoted to
cover every corner of the tenderloin.
Only the strongest of coffee and the
heaviest of pastry is to be offered the
modern uay Sports Oh Jne Wullt-lISuI
district, in the hope that they may
find in this dissipation some substi-
tute for the excitement of alcohol
to confidential figures from
the men who have trafficed largely
in soft drinks since the ban on booze
went in. the profits Of such prohibi-
ton purveying are enormous.
Readers Respond.
Shocked at the serious situation re-
yealed at the recent publishers con-
ference here, the reading public Of
this town is now really concerned over
the continuance of their newspapers,
in the face of the print-paper short
age. If one single sheet is curtailed
or driven from the field by present
alarming conditions New Workers feel
that a serious damage will be done
to the national press. Whatever the
people of this town may sometimes
say, they really value highly and
heartily the news and advertising
mediums of the whole country, upon
which so many of them have built
up their business
