Acting under the authority granted
them by the board of county commls-
sioners at it's recent meeting, Repub-
lican registration clerks are selecting
registra ton places in their respective

ty clerk in about 10 days. They can

POLICE SALARIES HERE
LOWER THAN AVERAGE

At the next meeting of the board
of police commissioners the question
of an increase in the salaries of all
members of the police department
will come up for consideration
Recently the commissioners In.
structed Chief Wenger to communi
cate with city officials in neighboriny
cities Of the approximate size of Rich.
mond, to ascertain the salaries being
paid patrolmen and officers in those
cities.
Wenger Complies Report.
Chief Wenger has received replies
from nine cities which show that the
salaries paid to the members of the
local department are below the ave.
rage.
The Richmond patrolman begins
work on salary of S100 month
After six months, he is paid s105. The
salaries paid patrolmen in other cities
that Chief Wenger has received re
ports from follow:
Kokomo. $125; Middletown, Ohio,
$3.50: Danville, ILL.,, s13333; Muncie,
S120; Hamilton. O., 1925; Marion, Ind.
$40: Logansport. s115; Anderson.
s125; Newcastle, Ind, s125.
Chiefs Salary Low
The salaries paid to police chiefs
in the above listed cities range from
$3.50 to $3.50 per month. In Richmond,
the chief receives $135. Salaries for
subordinate officers in the same cities
are also larger than salaries paid the
same class of officers in Richmond.
1t is believed that the Richmond po-
lice commissioners will authorize in
creased salaries for the patrolmen and
officers owing to the general discon-
tent which exists among all members
of the department. When the pro-
posed increase will become effective
has not been indicated.

approve the soviet terms to Poland

ciples.

GYPSIES CLEAN UP
IN ARMED INVASION
OF WAYNE COUNTY

Wayne county was inva ded Thurs
day afternoon and evening by a ma
rauding band of gypsies travelling in
eight motor cars.
Their progress through the county
against their depredations Sheriff
Carr and Edward McNally. assistant
police chief. spent practically all OF
Thursday night responding to calls.
Three men complained that the gyp-
sizes had help them up on country
roads and had robbed them.
The band included several men,
about 20 women and "at least so chill
dren." according to Sheriff Carr.
Had the rovers been placed under
arrest the question of caring for all
of them would have been a serious
one, particularly in regard to the wo-
men and children. owing to the linn
tied accommodations at the Home for
the Friendless.
Couldn't Find Victims
The officers also, report that the
persons who entered complaints
against the gypsies could not be To-
Gated for the purpose of filing affida-
Wits.
Sheriff Carr and Assistant Chief
McNally, attired in civilian clothes,
located the gypsies early Friday
morning and courted a "hold-up," but
without success.
The officers then served a notice
on the leader of the band to get out
of the county without further delay,
and the ultimatum was obeye.d
Thursday afternoon two men re-
ported that gypsies had stopped them
as they were driving along road in
an automobile. One man said they
took 81 from him; the other said he
was robbed of 81.
Early in the evening a farmer east
of town telephoned that the gypsies
had made camp at a roadside and had
torn down some of his gates and
some rods of fencing. They were
compelled to leave
Later, near Hollansburg, O., the
sheriff was advised that a motorist
had been held up by the band and
that everything that he had on his
person and in his car had been taken.
About midnight a similar robbery,
north of Richmond, was reported. The
victim reported that the gypsies even
took the electric bulbs from his head
lights.

Superintendent of Police Crowley
has ordered an investigation in the
police department to ascertain to
what extent members of the force
have invested with Ponzi. or other
wise have been connected with his
affairs.
The investigation was ordered after
a conference between Crowley, Police
Commissioner Curtis and Attorney
General Allen.
Examiners from the bank commits
sioner's office rushed their work to
determine the exact extent which the
Hanover Trust company was involved
in Ponzi's operations.

wanted to depart, he would have done
so before the events of yesterday.

Ponzi remained at his home in Lex
ington denying himself to interview
ers A score of men supposed to be
government agents and policemen
were in the vicinity OF his residence

ations that would involve institutions
other than the Hanover Trust COM

positary.
The Hanover has been closed by
State Bank Commissioner Allen, who
announced that its capital was serious
