STERN POLICY CUTS CHICAGO MOTOR THEFT Prevention Auto Steal ing Curbs Youths on
 Road to Crime IS AN IMPORTANT BRANCH Thefts Decline Al Per Cent as Police Get
 More Severe
,IS AN IMPORTANT BRANCH

CHICAGO, April j. Despite tart criticism of certain methods practiced by the police of Chicago in handling motor car thefts the bluecoats of this city are more than elated over the report made by the Chicago Crime Commission for 1922. Automobile stealing here has declined fl per cent in year, according to the report Police consider the problem of auto thcfts second to no other branch of their work.
 Records show that 90 per cent of the persons arrested in connection with more serious offenses have been implicated at some time in auto thefts. Police believe that an "iron hand" rule in such offenses means more than a possible reduction of the number of machines stolen-it frequently consti- tutes the "stitch in time" to prevent
 many youths of the city from "going
 bad" The arrest and punishment of a "pal," police theorize, will frequent. ly hold in check another boy who
 might otherwise try his hand at steal l ing car.
 The system of parking machines in side guarded compound has proven highly successful, the report of the commission shows Theft of automo
 piles from parking spaces of that char, ! acter has been reduced in Chicago by 1 67 per cent in a year.
 The Chicago system of reporting au, | tomobile thefts will probably soon be radically changed, it was said by DO, lice. The present. system was de. scribed by the commission in it's re, port as cumbersome, top-heavy and
 contains a great deal of duplication of effort"
 Chicago courts are lending help ing hand in the effort to eliminate this variety of crime, the commission re- port advised. Prosecution of such thieves is becoming more stern.
 A number of recommendation are being prepared for consideration by both the police and judiciary depart ments of the city, which, it is prom
 sed by the Crime Commission, will make the going still rougher for the Chicago automobile thief.
