ARREST 80 WOMEN
AS SH0p[IFTERS
Police Say Few Are Victims Of
KIeptomania Despite
Their Claims.

During the past two weeks more
than fifty women were caught in the
police dragnet for shopl'fting.
Fef, IL any, of these women, police
say, are kleptomaniacs, though many
explained, following their arrest, that
they had been led to theft by some
unexplainable impulse.
Most of them are simply dis
honest" said an official. "They stole
because OF the opportunity afforded
by the crowded conditions Of the
stores 1t is true that many Of the
women stole articles of little value.
but that is probably due to the activ-
ity of the police ond the store detect
ives who nipped in the bud their
operations Shops 'ose thousands Of
dollars worth of goods every year
through these dishonest shoplifters"
The police admit, however, that
some of the women may be klepto-
maniacs.. 1t was said that some Of
the stores have list Of known klep-
tomaniacs and instead Of ordering
their arrest when caught pockctinK
articles turn them over to relatives
or friends.
DR.. William A. White, superintend-
Sht VI OF. ESllZdUelf 11OSpitdl, WCIl
known alienist, today said he be-
lieved few women arrested for shop
lifting were victims Of kleptoria mia.
He said the disease is rather rare, al
though he admitted that It Is proba-
BILE that some of those arrested might
be kleptomaniacs.
The latter type Of thieves is con-
sidered irresponsible because Of III
seased brains. This type will steal
articles from a shop-artic'es of
small value and which they have no
use for. In most instances. the klep-
tomaniac has every provision Of a
home, an abundance of wearing ap-
parel and other adornment.
They are to be pitied.". said an
official, mot censured or put in
the class of women who deliber-
atey steal just because they are dis
honest"

u MILLIONS IN BRITISH
BANKS WITHOUT OWNERS

LONDON, Dec 26.-Thirty-two mill
lion dollars unclaimed in British
'anks has been uncovered by the Par
lament committee on dormant bank
balances OF this amount. S12 900 .OCG
belongs to untraceable persons, and,
therefore, will be turned into the
government treasury to help pay the
nations debt.
A far greater amount was expected
when the inquiry began. One re-.
rnarkable fact is that there is more
unclaimed wealth in Scottish banks
than in those OF England. which dis.
proves the reputation the Scot has of
