Crime in Chicago
Drops so Per Cent

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Crime in Chi
cago was reduced 80 per cent during
the last few hours, the detective de-
partment estimated today. Captain
Hughes said there was only twenty
two hold-ups in tweDty-four hours,
while the average is only forty. Only
seven automobiles were stolen, half
the usual number, and fewer bur-
glaries were reported.
Wholesale arrests by raiding cigar
stores, pOolrooms and other hang
outs for crooks and the ''curfew rule"
by which every one on the streets
after A. m is searched, were
credited by Hughes as the reason for
the decrease ia crime.
