ORDER n. Y.POL|CE
TO SHOOT TO KILL
Sharpshooters On Patrol to
Match for Bandits and Other
, Criminals.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22-"Shoot to
XIII was the stern order given to
twenty police sharpshooters who are
patrolling this city today on the look
out for highwaymen and other des-
perate criminals.
Racing motor cars carry the sharp
shooters so that they can easily over
haul any bandits who may attempt to
escape in automobiles.
About 300 arrests were made dur
ing the night and early today in a
series of raids In cabarets, dance
halls, and all-night restaurants.
Fifty-seven men were arrested in a
raid on a restaurant in East Houston
street by twenty detectives. Follow
ing this raid Police Inspector William
\. Coleman led a raid on another res
taurant in Broome street, where
twenty-four additional prisoners were
taken.
The police allege that gambling es-
Establishments were maintained in con-
nection with both restaurants.
Detectives raided a hall in West
Forty-fourth street and arrested $50
men and five women. THE Touraine
Literary Society" was giving n smoker
in the hall The men were arrested
on suspicion. The women were ac-
cused of participating in an immoral
performance.
The raids on the two East Side
restaurants proved spectacular. Many
patrons of the Houston Street restau-
rant tried to escape by way Of fire
escapes and windows, but were
headed off. All were lined up and
searched for weapons but none was
found. The noise of the detectives
smashing furniture, and the excited
shouts OF the patrons brought a large
crowd to the street, and reserves had
to clear way for the patrol wagons.

The following letter. from Marc S.
Goldnamer, manager of the Kay Jew
elry Company, 407 seventh street
northwest, explains why the question
was asked in the first paragraph:
Good Fellow Departments:
Il have read in your paper that you
are in need of at least thirty or more
Good Fellows to take care of the poor
families on Christmas morning. l am
very much in sympathy with this
movement and therefore wish to ad-
wise you that our firm will agree to
take care of at least ten of these
families If you will induce two other
concerns or individuals to take care
OF ten each. This is a truly commend
able work and we are glad to coop
crate with The Washington Times in
IT,"
So, there you are. If the Good Fell
low Department can find two firms or
two groups of individuals to provide
Christmas cheer and comfort for
twenty families, the Kay Jcwelry
Company will provide for ten others.
And why not? The Good Fellows OF
Washington were so numerous last
year that the Good Fellow Depart
ment had a hard time finding enough
families to provide an outlet for the
generosity and big g-heartedness of its
members. This year the condition is
exactly reversed and the needy fami-
lies far outnumber the Good Fellows
Unemployment and the money short
age is undoubtedly responsible for
this.

MARION, Ohio. Dec. 22.-Presi-
dent-elect Harding mas done most Of
his Christmas shopping, but he has
collection Of gifts on his desk for
whom he has not yet selected recipi-
ents. Among these are ten nice new
| Cabinet portfolios. 1t is exceedingly
doubtful, however, il he makes his
decisions in time to slip Cabinet
position into any of the many gap
ing Christmas stockings hung up in
expectation.
PRESSURE STRONGER.
The pressure OF recommendation
and objection for and against candi-
dates is growing stronger each day,
although Senator Miles Poindexter is
the first OF the Harding visitors
openly to announce that he came
specifically to make recommenda-
tions about a Cabinet post.
Strength was added to PoindeN-
ters plea for Gov. Joseph Dixon, of
Montana, as Secretary Of the Inte-
rior by the fact that Dixon Is thor
oughly familiar with reclamation
work in the West. to which the new
administration Is pledged. He also
is counted among the progressive
wing of the Republican party. rec
ognition for which is desired.
Senator A. b. Fail, of New Mexico,
IL is intimated. undoubtedly could
have the interior portfolio IL he
cared for it, He also was a Roose-
welt supporter, and would give the
Far West representation in the
Harding official family. But Sena-

said, has not yet been definitely
eliminated for consideration for that
post.
WEEKS IS MENTIONED.
There seems a consensus of opin
ion that Harry M. Daugherty will
be named as Attorney General, that
viii Hays will take on the task OF
Ire-organizing the Postoffice Depart
ment, and that Henry Wallace will
become Secretary of Agriculture.
Much discussion has arisen over the
possibility of including Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts, in the Cabi-
net. One objection outlined here
seems to be that the determination
to have Vice President Coolidge sit
as a Cabinet officer without portfolio
would give Massachusetts adequate
recognition. Weeks has been men,

Senator New OF Indiana. II is known
on the best authority. is disinclined
to foresake the Senate for the Cab
met. but should he do so the De-
partment of War is the only one he
would consider. Representative
Kahn of California, is being urged
for that post, and many, 1t is said,
would approve the appointment OF
Senator Chamberlain of oregon, Dem
ocrat, who failed for reelection.
Candidates for the post of Secretary
of Labor are not particularly nu-
merous. Herbert Hoover is being ad-
vocated by those who know his close
relations with both employers and
employees.
John L. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers, is regarded as
possibility, as il Congressman
Nolan of California, who holds "A
