CRIME DECREASE:
IN CHICAGO DENIED
Police Accused of Doctoring
! Records to Show City Is
Becoming Good.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, December 3.-Chief OF
Police Morgan Collins declarations
that major crime in Chicago has
fallen off One-third in the first III
months Of 1926, compared with a ike
period in 1925, have been challenged.
The chief made his statement Of
waning crime before the budget COM
mittee of the city council, giving the
1926 figures for burglary, robbery and
larceny as 2,0S9, against 3,o34 for last
year.
Paper Makes Survey.
But Alderman Charles $. Eaton
maintained that these figures did not
gibe with those of the Chicago Crime
Commission. The chief replied that
he was guided by his own records.
The Chicago Tribune thereupOn
made an independent check of crime
records, arriving at a figure of 3,40S.
and maintaining that the police de-
partment apparently was covering up
on the real crime situation and was
trying to paint Chicago as departing
from sin and growing in grace by the
simple expedient of doctOring the
books"
The newspaper said an investiga.
ton revealed that only about SO per
cent of the burglaries, stick-ups and
thefts reported at headquarters get
into the public report on major crime
and that by refuge in technicalities
police officers avoided recording many
such crimes.
Police Too Technical.
''Most captains do not account a
stick-up in which the victim loses less
than $40 worthy of entry as hold
up. whether the victim has been
threatened with a deadly weapon or
has been beaten up" the account said
One case cited was the theft of
$4,000, in which it was related that
because no gun was used the police
captain would not attach a label Of
robbery. declined to call it burglary
because admittance was gained by a
key, and finally booked the theft I'M
