THE WEST

Men look to the East for the dawnine
things.
For the light of the rising sun;
But they look TO the West, TO the
crimson West,
For things that are done cro done!
The eastward sun is new-made hope
from the
Dark of the night distilled;
But the westward sun is a sunset sun,
Is the sun of hope fulfilled!
So out of the East they have always
come
The cradle that saw the birth
or all Of the heart-warm hopes of
And of all of the hopes of earth.
For out of the East Christ arose,
And out of the East there cleaned,
The dearest dream and the clearest
dream,
That ever prophet dreamed.
Yea, into the waiting West they go
With the dream-child of the East,
And find the hopes that they hoped of
old
Are hundred fold increased
For there In the East we dream our
dreams
OF the things we hope to do,
And here in the West, the crimson
West,
The dreams of the East come true |

New York. March 24.-Latest de-
velopments in the murder of 'Doro'
thy Keenan, today revealed the ex'
tent to which women criminals are
operating in New York. The WOMAN
blackmailer is revealed as a distinct
type. Not the isolated female who
finds solitary victim, but the mem
Der of carefully organized band wh1
finds her prey wherever the cultured
and wealthy congregatc.
While the murder of Dorothy hee
nan may go down merely as another
of the mysterious crimes which are
muddled for some unknown reason by
the officers of the law, the investiga'
tons are throwing the spotlight on
the woman who take toll from So
ciety in the metropolis. The very
fact that the district attorney and
his assistants now assert that the real
reason for the killing of the Keenan,
girl was because she would not take
part in blacfmail plot emphasizes
the woman element in the case.
Not only in blackmail schemes, but
in very phase Of gang activities the
woman is indicated as n matter OF
fact and important unit in every
mob" doing efficiently the work for
merly left exclusively to men.
There is no doubt that Dorothy
keenan, was bait" for the trap of
a Matchmaking crowd. But officials
go, "a
important part in the scenes imme-
diately preceding and following the
models death. A police investigator
uointed out that it would be extremely
difficult, if not impossible. for man
TO have carried a long squirrel coat
and a hat and dress out of the apart
ment without attracting attention.
Would Arouse No Suspicion.
On the other hand, woman could
easily have slipped the girls gown
over her own. wrapped the hat in
bundle. carried the fur coat on her
arm and so left the house without
being noticed.
BE that as it may. the Dorothy kee-
nan case has brought out in most
striking manner that none OF the big
underworld gangs in New York now
is complete without the presence of
attractive and clever women accom-
plices on their staff. The latest in
vestigation had directed attention to
the fact that well dressed women have
been at the wheels of many automo-
biles IN which stickup artists. loft rob
bers and ordinary burglars are be-
lieved to have escaped.
II also is recalled that nicely ap-
pearing women have been noticed loi-
tering in the vicinity II shops or
houses which later were robbed and
the police now feel sure they acted
as instigators and lookouts.

Discussing the general situation
which the KEENAN, investigation has
developed a high police officials said
today;
Women Crooks Numerous.
There have always been women
criminals, but the Dorothy Keenan,
revelations have demonstrated that
women crooks today are almost as
numerous and quite as important as
men. They run the gamut from the
international crook. who is the arls-
tocracy of the underworld, well edu-
Gated, well dressed, and not flashy,
with an air at once affable and re-
spectacle that hides the shrewdest
and most high-class of the crook 5
mentality down the scale TO the plain
badger worker.
THE former include the steamship
workers. Sometimes these sharpers
do not even take the trouble to get
off the boat when it docks. They say
they are making round trip for their
health. If they do land they spend
only n short time on shore. but they
utilize that time to work the hotels.
LAS n result Of this invasion OF
once purely masculine field the steam
shin companies have been compelled
TO detail women detectives to round
up the suspects. But it will take
time before any Of them are as Ia
nous as. say. old Doc Owen. Yet
the women lure men into the dice and
card games frequently but mostly they
get after members of their own sex.
MANY Of these women sharpers pose
as buyers, which gives them pleas
urable excuse for travelling back and
forth. They specialize in everything
that is crooked and blackmail fur
nishes them a good string while il a
good chance comes along for jewel
robbery it never is neglected.
Fences for Bond Thieves.
The revelation that Dorothy Kee-
nan boosted that she possessed large
quantity of government bonds opened
a mine to the police. They have found
out a new profession where women
act as "fences" in disposins of stolen
bonds. Most OF the small bonds taken
in robberies. especially the Libertys Of
$50 and 500 denomination are ap-
portioned among the women of gang
for purposes Of disposal.
The women obtain positions as
mattresses in the popular restaurants
where the girls make good money in
tips in the course Of a week. To the
other Mattresses and 10 the checkers
