One-half of the expenses should be
met by the parents and the other

One awful crime after another is
Icing, committed in this city, until the
Tune has come when no person is safe

That no one is safe at home or abroad.
The hold-up in one of our LEADING

and the murder in the middle of the
day of Edwin w. Andrews in his office

the only way to curb the criminal
forces in this community is to organ
ize q posse of some kind and let us
lie in wait for tie ORIGINALS and let
US get them. Let us blot them out Of
society for the longest time possible" /"
Judge Rosa!sky's only direct reference
to the police department was the advice
to "spruce up as in former times by
nabbing suspicious. characters when
they see them"
Judge Rosalsky said that large or
CARNATIONS could contribute men to
the personnel of this vigilance com

could always be on watch for Grim

any harm. he said.
Judge Rosalsky's remarks were oc
casioned by his refusal to accept
lesser plea than that of robbery in
the first degree in the case of NJ chael
McDonough, who with an unidentified
man is charged with holding up taxi
