INADEQUATE POLICING
AROUSES MERCHANTS.
100000 HAULS
IN s MONTHS


Recent robberies, entailing a loss
of more than 100000 to stores in
the vicinity of F Street today were
laid by merchants to inadequate po-
lice protection.
Reports made to the First precinct
show that 10 business houses have
been victimized by yeggs during the
last six months. all within Wash
ington's wealthiest shopping district.
Rich hauis of merchandise and
cash have been made from the Ar
mold Antique Shop, 1923 G ST.;
GUIDE Brothers, 1912 F ST.: A. M.
Rink, 1918 F. ST.; A. G.. Spalding
Brothers, 1888 G. 81 N. w; Charles
e. Tribby's, Sis Fifteenth st. N. W.;
Erlebacher's 1910 r st. N. W.;
Chiid's Restaurant, Pennsylvania
Avenue. and an attempted hold-up
at Jelleffe's, 1915 F st. N. w.
Very Few Caught
In the majority OF these cases
police reports show that the crimi-
nails have not been apprehended.
Merchants today took this as an
example of inefficient service. They
called attention to the millions of
dollars centered in the First pre-
cinct territory which requires spe-
cial guarding.
Capt. Thaddeus Bean states that
his hands are tied for lack of men.
He denied. however. that his force
is not making sufficient effort to
track down culprits.
Sometimes as many as seven or
eight blocks are patroled by a lone
officer at night, he admitted. Nine
policemen patrol the territory
bounded by H Street from Ninth to
Fifteenth Streets and as far south
as Pennsylvania Ave. n. W. AL
though this is the regular number,
as low as six men have done the
same duties, according to Captain
Bean.
Hits. Traffic Arrests
1t was suggested by A. M. Rink,
whose shop was robbed of $50, 900 in
dresses last January, that less at.
tention be paid to arresting vio-
lators of minor traffic offenses.
such as overtime parking. He
added:
Such arrests. while necessary,
should be overlooked in the interest
of bringing to account the real of.
tenders, second.story men and safe.
crackers"
William GUIDE, while aware of the
small police force, said he doesn't
blame individual officers; yet pins
the fault for the present condition
on District officials who fail to pro
vide sufficient appropriations which
would permit a stronger police de.
partment.
1t was indicated today that a
representative body of merchants
may shortly bring a formal protest
before city officials to see what
can be done to protect their prop.
erty. Numerous individual com.
plants have been made to the First
precinct, however.
A special meeting Of the police
and public order committee of the
Merchants and Manufacturers As

within the next week.

aside S4,00O,OO0 to meet principal and
interest on county reimbursement
bonds, issued to pay for roads already
built.
Some 25 miles of pavement already
has been ordered for next year, the
most important project being the new
Shakopee cutoff from Minneapolis
through Hennepin county. The con-
tract will be awarded this fall so
that work will not be delayed in the
spring.
A number of important grading
jobs are being completed this fall,
some of them with the intention of
early paving. Additional sections on
Highway No. to Mankato have had
attention, also parts of the road west
of Minneapolis, No. 10. The St.
Faul-Hudson road has been graded
preparatory to paving, and grading
has been done on additional segments
of No. 3, now paved to Sank Center
AS result of work this year, the
last gap of the Minneapolis-Sauk
Center road, into the lake region, was
paved. An important stretch from
Moorhead to Hawley, which leads in
to the lake region from the west
border and brings thousands of North
Dakotans into the state, was paved.
Two sections of the southern end
of No. 3, from St. Paul to Winona,
have been paved-Newport to Hast
ings, and LaMoille to La Crescent.
In addition to completing the Twin
Cities-Duluth end of No. l, the de-
partment pushed the pavement far
Their south, reaching the Freeborn
county line on the way to Albert
Lea.
In addition to building virtually
new road for No. 10 west of Way
zata, the department has paved the
same highway from Litchfield to At
water.
In the northern part of the state,
the road from Crosby to Ironton, on
No. 2, has been paved.
The next years work is expected
to see an extension of some of the
pavements now completed, to fur !
nish permanent roads to additional
centers, and to furnish a hard sur
face highway for sections of road in .
many parts Of the state where traffic .

SOFT CORN SHOULD BE

While there will not be as much
soft corn in Minnesota as was feared
a month ago, there will be enough OF
it to warrant precautions in cribbing

Corn that is sound and dry should
be husked and cribbed separately,

should be fed on the farm where

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER -, 1927.

Another Renville county pioneer
closed the book of life and passed or
to his eternal home last week. Al
4:30 o'clock Sunday morning the enc
came for Wencel Kodet, ST., at the
family home in Henryville township
He had been ailing for several months
but was not taken seriously i'll until
about six weeks ago, the cause of his
death being complication of all
ments, due to the general debility
which comes with old age.
The funeral was held yesterday
from st. Mary's Catholic church in
Bechyn and was attended by a large
number of mourners, family friends
and old neighbors, Rev. Father Jir-
acek of Redwood Falls conducting the
services.
Acting as pail bearers were six of
his old neighbors, including: Joseph
j. Swoboda, Mike Dworshak, Henry
p Serbus, Frank NJ Serbus and Wen
eel Kojetin.
WenceI Kodet was born in Bohem-
ia, November 1st, 184S. When four
years of age he came with his par
ents to America, the family settling
at Racine, Wis, where the father
worked for time at his trade as
blacksmith. Three years later they
moved to Manitowoc, Wis.,, where
they engaged in farming. Wencel
attended school there and later in
Thicann 1.yhora ha
young man. In 1888 he came to
Renville county, where he purchased
farm of 120 acres in Henryville.
On June % of the same year, he was
united in marriage to Mary Swoboda
and to this union eleven children were
born, one of whom, girl, died in in
fancy.
By hard work, thrifty habits and
close attention to business affairs,
Mr.. Kodet gradually increased his
holdings until he finally became one
of the big farmers Of the county, own
ing large tracts of land with equip
ment, and live stock, being well pos
sessed of this worlds goods. He took
an active interest in public affairs,
serving for many years as chairman
of his town board, treasurer of his
school district and as an active men,
Der of the Farmers Elevator associa-
ton at Morton and North Redwood
He was known as progressive and
patriotic citizen, who loved his adopt
ed country and was quick to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities which It
offers young men.
Personally, Mr.. Kodet was a man
of fine character, honest and fair in
all his dealings and charitable tow
ard those in need. He reared fine
family of devoted sons and daughters, !
for whom he set a good example in
thrift, industry and christian con-
duct. His long life was well spent in
the faithful discharge of his duties
to his family, his church and his
country, and in passing he leaves to
his loved ones the memory of a good
husband and father.
The surviving members of the
family are his widow, five sons and
five daughters, namely, John Alois,
Joseph, Adolph and Charles Kodet;
Mrs. John Zetah, Mrs. Frank Zetah,
Mrs. Wencel H. Dolezal, Mrs. Joseph
Dworshak and Miss Ella Kodet, all
