Too Many Criminals Escaping Here,
 Mayor Says; Wants Council To Act
Proposed Recommends. tion Tomorrow Evening Will Be Virtual Request To Disregard Legal Rl- ing On Rewards

Mayor Orson F. Curtis is greatly dissatisfied with the number of crimin- als who are perpetrating major crimes in this city and then escaping the clutches of the law, their transgres- sions upon the law going unpunished.
 Speaking of the Louis Wrinkle mur- der. following so closely upon the heels of the fatality in which Building Inspector J. w. Allen figured, the mayor stated this morning that he will bring the matter before the common council tomorrow evening in an effort 10 bring about action.
 Doesn't Criticize Police
 Asked if he thought the police de- partment was in any way at fault for the apparent ease with which crimin- als have escaped, the mayors only re- ply was:
 Well perhaps you'd better talk with the police commission. They'll tell you that we have an efficient force probably"
 Too Many Escapes
 The mayor declined to enter into q further discussion of the case only to remark that there have been many major crimes lately and. according to his statements, the culprits are seldom apprehended.
 Mayor Curtis is dissatisfied with the ruling of the corporation counsel that the city cannot legally declare and pay a reward for the capture of the guilty party or parties, and he will also ask the council to take action in this matter.
 Contrary to Ruling
 Should the common council, at to- morrow evenings session vote to offer a reward of $500, such as will un- doubtedly be the recommendation of the mayor, the action will be con- trary to the advice of the corporation counsel and will not have his approval as the city's representative in legal matters.
 It is expected that the mayor will urge upon the members the advisa- bility of offering in the name of the city, a reward for the capture ot Wrinkles slayers pointing out that a precedent has been established in the offering of payment of a reward in the Zebris case and the offering of a re- war in the Allen case. .... .-.e
 The state laws provide that cities and towns may offer rewards up to s2O0. The council has not yet been asked to ratify the action of the mayor in offering $500 for the capture of those responsible for MT. Aliens death, but it is expected that the mat ter will be brought up tomorrow eve ming.
