CHICAGO MAY TRY
EUROPEAN PLAN
To Check Crime Considers Requiring
Each Resident and Transient to
Register With Police-Later,
Nation Wide?

Chicago, Jan. Establishment of
the European police system, under
which every resident and transient is
compelled to register with the police,
is possible innovation in Chicago.
The Chicago crime commission as
founded at the recapitulations of the
progress of crime here during 1920,
will take the question under consid-
Grafton January IL. Then, if the
movement in favor of such action is
strong enough to insure Affirmative ac-
tion by the city council, every citizen
and other person tarrying in town
will have to march to the police sta
tion and tell who they are, what they
do, where they live and such other in
formation as will determine whether
they are desirables or crooks.
And Later, Nation Wide.
If the movement is successful, its
sponsors may appeal to Washington
for a presidential order for similar
registration thruout the country, pend
ing such time as legislation covering
criminal registration may be obtained.
1t is declared by William l.. Mckee,
examiner in the records department
here, that crime in large American
cities exceeds that of European cities
by from 700 to 900 per cent. This he
attributes to ignorance of who the
criminals are.
All Chicago crime records were
smashed during 1920. Complete fig
ures on the property losses during the
year have not been completed, but
they exceed the 12 million dollars loss
Of 1919 by many millions, it is de-
clared by police officials.
Recover Almost Nothing.
Losses thru burglaries. hold-ups
and pocket picking alone amounted
to $4,528, ,z53.40 last year, according
to police figures. Of this 1927 ,699
worth of property was recovered.
These figures make no account of
embezzlements, forgeries and other
swindling, which make up the bulk of
the losses.
Burglars and other thieves worked
with steady consistency here last year.
A monthly police resume shows that
during no month did they net less
than $241 PAP, and in November, the
busiest month, the gross taken was
$433,33 A steady business, with
few seasonal drawbacks or canceIla-
tions.
How the Plan Would Work.
''To vote, citizen has to register,
Mr.. Mckee said. Under the crime reg
istration he would simply have to re-
peat the same operation. He would
have to make known every time he
changes residence so the police will
know where he is at all times. Then
every citizen would know whether his
neighbor is a good citizen or porch
climber.
"If presidential order could be is
sued to protect the country from for
eign foe, or officials can legislate in
the name of police regulation on other
matters, why cannot the president,
governor, or mayor issue such an or
der until legislation can be enacted?
81 believe some such system of reg
istration would reduce crime" said
Henry Barrett Chamberlain, head of
the Chicago crime commission. 1T
would be an educational step and re-
quire public spirited cooperation.
Something of the kind is inevitable"
