and nineteen sixteen to nineteen

ed, increased generally three hundred
per cent and coal four hundred per
cent, shoes one hundred per cent and
clothing five hundred per cent. Lauck

The. Committee Of Fourteen. IN its
annual report on vice conditions in

cizes Mayor Hylan for the failure of
the police to cooperate with the com
m'ttee. The report also deplores the

the Police Department. Those who
make this claim attribute it to MANY

The National Committee on Prisons
and Prison Labor, of which Adolph

forms. The committee urges the open

labor has been exploited. A bill to this
effect is before Congress.

and recommendation for rcorganiza-
ton along more modern lines.
The committee likewise urges the

from prisons in other countries. Sur
veys have been completed recently in
many states, including New Mexico,

trict Of Columbia

Court Assails Police
Work in Gaming Cases
Magistrate Mcclellan Discharges
80 Men and Calls System of
Getting Evidence Wrong

Magistrate John f. Mcclellan. in
West Side Court, yesterday discharged
thirty men brought in by detectives Of
Inspector Dominck Henry's staff,
charged with "boisterous conduct and
playing craps" and also assailed the
police for their manner of obtaining
evidence in such cases.
When the detectives were asked to
indicate which of the prisoners they
actually saw acting boisterously and
gambling they were unable to do so,
whereupon the magistrate said:
The police know how to get
evidence. Why don't they spend
some money and get in with the gam
blers and find out who is getting the
kitty in these games? The magis-
trates of New York, speaking for my
self as one, would like to have the
chief inspector up in court to hear
evidence in the gambling cases that
come here SO that we might hear what
mis- decision would be.

in particular. 1t is the police method

$4,000 Ring Stolen
FrOmW Woman Asleep
S68,OOO Overlooked
Mrs. Turek Gives Thief Till
Tomorrow to Return
Jewel; Others in Bag I'm
der Pillow Not Touched

A nine carat, oval diamond marquise
ring worth $4,000 was stolen last
Thursday morning from Mrs. Harry
Turek's gold mesh bag while she was
asleep in her home, 450 West End Ave-
nue.. Other jewels valued at more than
S6S,000 were left in the bag If the
ring is not returned by noon tomorrow
to E. N. Cattle G. Co., $50 Fifth Ave
nue., Mrs. Turek will cause an arrest
to be made, she said last night.
Mrs Turek is giving the thief every
opportunity to return the treasure. A
reward of $4,000 will be paid and no
questions asked. She wants the ring
returned to Gattle's so that it may be
examined by experts.
She is afraid the ring has been dis
posed of and cut, as a 51s carat stone
could be made from the center Of the
gem. AS it was when she last saw it
the ring would be difficult to dispose
OF because of it's unusual shape.
Mrs. Turek said she put the mesh
bag under her pillow. All her jewels
were in it. Beside the ring IL con-
tanned a pearshaped pearl pendent
from a platinum neck chain and worth
$4,000; several bracelets set with dia-
monds, gold wrist watch, studded
with diamonds, valued at $1,000; other
less valuable pieces of jewelry and a
dozen or SO cubes Of sugar. When she
awoke she put the bag on dresser at
the head of the bed. Several hours
later she discovered that the ring was
gone.
She explained that she was fond of
horses and always carried sugar with
which to feed them. Mrs. Turek pulled
everything from the bag and had the
rugs and all the furniture in the apart
ment searched; then, after calling her
husband, who is real estate operator
on the upper West Side, detectives
from the West Sixtyeighth Street sta
tion were summoned.
Mrs. Turek said that she was sure
the person who took the ring had seen
it before. The police have been on
the point Of making arrests, but were
deferred by Mrs. Turek's fear that the
suspects might destroy the perfection
of the stone.
