Vandalism is going t. be one of the
unmentionable sins in Topeka this
Halloween. One hundred special po-
licemen have been added to the pres

heavily fined, it was asserted.

himself heartily in favor of Chief
one found guilty of vandalism will be
fined to the limit. The authorities
made it clear that they have no OBJ
jections to boys and girls having all
the fun they want to Halloween night,
but If the amusement cannot be at
tained without destroying the prop
erty of others. then it had better be
dispensed with.
Chief Swallow called upon every
good citizen of Topeka to cooperate
with the officers in the enforcement
of the law and the prevention of van
dalism. He also appeals to every pa
rent to keen an eye on their children
Monday night and make certain that
they are not in mischief.
Halloween celebrations are all
right" said Chief Swallow, but there
is always a roughneck element which
delights in destroying property. Thers
is no excuse for this and am going
to see to it that the offenders are pun
ished as severely as the law will per-
nit. The trouble is made worse by
the fact that nowadays this vandalism
is stretched over four or five nights -
A part of the special police force
will begin work tonight, it was stated.
