a. wave of crime as that which has
swept the metropolis since the begin
ming of the year. While some ar
rests have been made and some men
punished, the police are hard put to
keep pace with the criminals.
So frequent have robberies become
that London bankers have taken
measures to meet possible raids on
their cash counters, a proceeding
hitherto unknown in the city. All
cashiers have been instructed to keep
cash out Of sight instead of display
ing 1t on bank counters. The poles
in the neighborhood OF important
banking houses. have been ordered to
be especially vtgilant, particularly at
the lunch hour.
The prevalence of crime was first
called to the attention of the authori-
ties when the newspapers made a
sensation out Of the sudden death of
Billie Carlton, favorite actress,
who was found dead in her apart
