wagon CLASS!
One day some months after
the robbery of the rug store, a
gangster we'll known to the
police, reported that his home
had been filched of several
thousand dollars worth of
valuable rugs, silver and gee
gaws and he had them we'll in
sured. He was up-against the
proposition of proving owner
ship of the stolen rugs so he
trotted down to the Rug Com
pany proprietor (the Oriental
Rug Company and asked that
individual TO give him a bill of
sale so he could collect five
thousand dollars of insurance.
The celluloid medal for UNI
adulterated bronze goes by
unanimous consent to this bird.
He didn't get the bill of sale
and incidentally he didn't get
his insurance. But a short time
later the Rug Company's pro-
prietor went to Brunskill's Of
flee to report the request for
the bill of sale, that worthy
waXed inquisitive and asked
all sorts of simple questions as
to the color of hair, shape of
ear-muffs and general outlines
of the buckle who wanted
bill of sale for stolen property.
But he dried up quick when
the rug company proprietor
mildly inquired why all the
questions, WHEN BRUNSKILL
ALREADY HAD A REPORT
FROM THAT SAME INDI-
VIDUAL REPORTING THE
THEFT" OF PROPERTY.
Less than three months ago
some Of those rugs were Of
fered for sale in this city, and
still neither Chief Brunskill nor
the investigators from the
County Attorneys office can
find them. Just how hard did
they try to find rugs or rob-
bers? They didn't try. Brun-
skill has never made a serious
effort to apprehend a criminal
since he has been chief of
police AND HE CAME TO
THE CHIEFS CHAIR DIRECT
FROM THE COUNTY AT
TORNEY'S OFFICE!
This rug robbery is ancient
history, so to speak. And the
Chinese Shanghai berrie S,
cackled over by biddies long
gone to soup are no more pun
gent when cracked than the
record of our police depart
ment since Frank Brunskill be-
came it's chief. The statue of
limitations has applied to be
sure, but a sincere Grand Jury
would delve into this out
lawed case if for no other rea-
son than to establish the rela-
tionship existing b e twee

"oSN CAAAS o1CCl HULL.
HE TALKED LIKE THE
RUGS HAD LEGS-going to
walk back! But, like the tabled
kitty, they never came back"
Later On that same after
noon, this "inves g a O ~
phoned the proprietor who
was waiting at the store that
he needn't wait any longer as
the rugs weren't homeward
bound. They had struck a snag
and were hung up!
Now, if all these brilliant of
ficials and officers knew where
the stolen rugs were and who
had them-knew they were
delayed in transit and that
they couldn't be moved at that
time,-doesn't it strike YOU
as peculiar THAT THEY
COULDN'T MAKE AN AR
REST?
Later, the C. AS investi-
gator reported that "you can
get twenty of the rugs within
"a hours but you will be taking
a chance on getting the rest of
them, which are to be brought
in in about a week; so have
decided to wait a week and
possibly get them ALL"
And who said anything
about Sherlock Holmes being
a wise guy! Old Sher was a
dub!
Here in Minneapolis, we
have a police chief who can
coax thief to return stolen
property worth ten thousand
dollars upon the payment of a
lousy twenty-five hundred dol
lars and an investigator from
the County Attorneys office
who says to the man who has
been robbed:
1--WE can get some of your
property right now but we
have to wait until the men who
robbed you haul it in and may
be thatll take them a week.
But you sit on your thumb a
while and maybe we can get
all the loot"
A fine state of affairs, isn't
it?
Well, the Rug Company
proprietor has been waiting
since March, 1924, AND HIS
RUGS HAVEN'T RETURNED
YET!
The police couldn't get them
although the proprietor in
forms me that Chief BrunskiII
almost tearfully admitted that
he knew the truck that hauled
the stolen rugs, he knew the
driver of that truck AND YET
HE COULD NOT GET HIM.
And he's "the best chief of
police Minneapolis ever had !"

An emissary, subordinate
officer of Chief Brunskill's de-
partment submitting to the
victim of a robbery that, for a
cash consideration HIS PROP
ERTY OULD BE RE-
TURNED!
'"The best chief of police
Minneapolis ever had," Ell?
From whence did the chief
secure the information that
stolen property would be re-
turned upon payment of trib-
ute? Isn't it a remarkable
(shall we be charitable and
call it a coincidence" OF be
more directly coincidence"
that a chief of police would be
able to settle a robbery upon
payment of a cash sum BUT
COULDN'T SETTLE 1T BY
ARRESTING THE THIEVES?
But the chief was tout"
when the Rug Company pro-
prietor walked in with two
thousand, five hundred dollars
so the settlement" wasn't eff
fected. The victim Of the rob-
bers strolled up to the Fourth
floor of our ''justice factory
and informed the County At
torney of the offer made
whereupon the C. A., waxed
Wroth and declared:
Don't pay him a damcent,"
whatever sort of coin that is,
| don't know but perhaps some
one else does.
Perhaps it was unfortunate
and it may have been fortu-
nate that the chief was "out"
that PARTICULAR morning. At
any rate the rugs were never
returned which indicates that
the thieves were never appre-
hended and the thieves VIC
tim saved his twenty-five hun
dred dollars.
Is it possible that the C. A.
was actuated by an impulse to
protect his former employee,
Brunskill, from the faint of
filthy lucre? Or was he sincere
in wishing to secure the return
of stolen property without
STOPPING to barte with
thieves?
At any rate an investigator
put on the case by Mr.. Olson
failed to locate the stolen rugs,
though he was long on promises
to get quick action. On one
occasion he reported to the
Rug Company proprietor eco

meet them and resist them is
doomed to oblivion. However:
Men who seek public office
and who obtain it, must be Of
sterner stuff than the private
citizen who is content to pIod
along, unsought, unsung, un-
known. And Nh. Olson is no
exception to that rule.
He acquired the office he
now holds through a turn of
the Wheel of Fate. He saw his
predecessor, a young man like
himself, stumble, fall and go
down. If he makes the same
m S k e that predecessor
made, he has no one to blame
but himself. Therefore: "IF."
The men constituting the
firms under Indictment ARE
found guilty should be pun
ished. But will they be? All,
there's the rub!
Mr.. Shapiro's assailants were
not brought to account until
this small paper published the
story Of Shapiro's assault and
as | said a few lines back, MI.
Shapiro himself told me that
County Attorney Olson had in
formed him that whenever
you are ready to so before the
Grand Jury, let me know" and
a few weeks later, after Mr..
Shapiro had given up hope of
being able to get his story
through the doors of that jury
room, | used the United States
mail to reach the ears of the
Hennepin County Grand Jury.
And action followed within
twenty-four hours.
If any or all of these in
dicted men or firms are con
victed, the president of the
United Tailors of this city re-
quests that they be given jail
terms. He evidently has his
doubts that any of them will be
convicted and he has a lot of
shareholders in his stock of
doubts. Why isn't the County
Attorney as aggressive in his
fight against crime as he was
in his campaign for a much
higher office than the one he
now holds? There must be a
reason.

Denver, Nov. 9.-(E)-With 4
half dozen state police and several
strikers nursing injuries received
in a brawl at Walsenburg, in the
southern Colorado coal fields. au.
thorities today maintained strong
patrols throughout the district in
an effort to stop mass meetings
called by the !. w. w.
Major William Howells Of the
Colorado national guard, who led
state police in q raid on q hall where
an I. w. w. representative was re-
ported to be addressing 400 strik-
ers,. was one of the most severely
injured. He was struck on the
head by a brick when the police
stormed the hall, only to be met
with a hail Of stones.
The squad of police substituted
pick handles for pistols they had
been using as clubs and fought the
miners until reinforcements ar
rived. Although several miners
drew pistols, no shots were fired.
With the arrival Of more deputies
the strikers dispersed, several be-
ing assisted from the scene with
wounds from clubs Of officers. :.
Jail Heavily Guarded
After this disturbance heavy pa.
trolls were ordered to remain on
guard at the Walsenburg jail and ut
Pueblo county court house, 20 miles
north Of Walsenburg, where nearly
score Of strike leaders are con-
fined.
The sheriff at Pueblo reported
that 500 miners had arrived there
apparently to protest the detention
Of their leaders. The sheriff had
ESQ officers, armed with riot guns,
at the court house. All pedestrians
and motorists who came within two
blocks of the Jail were challenged.
With the strike entering it's 23rd
day, operators in the southern area
reported today that many men were
returning. The mine owners found
that arrest of strike leaders stopped
picketing so effectively that several
properties were approaching normal
production.

Boston. Nov. 9.-P)-The work
Of relief and reconstruction pushed
steadily to the fore today in New
England's flood devastated area.
It was a fight against time for
the first touches of winter were
making themselves felt in the water
soaked villages of northern Vermont
and western Massachusetts.
The Boston and Maine railroad
has succeeded in resuming service
to Canada, cut off since the storm
broke by a temporary route.
At Montpelier, VT, Governor John
w. Weeks took the initiative in call
ing together heads of departments
and naming committees which were
charged with squirting the plans for
reconstruction.
College Students Help
College students took a hand in
the situation with the announce
ment from Hanover, N. H., that
1000 Dartmouth undergraduates
would 60 to Hartford, VT, tomor-
row to help in any way possible.
Smith college students at North
Hampton, Mass, did their part by
aiding in feeding, clothing and hous-
ing 200 refugees left homeless by
the Connecticut rivers inundation
of the lower sections of the city.
The girls contributed Of their own
wardrobes to help clothe the needy.
Northern Vermont and the shat
tered towns of the ill-fated Winooski
valley, however, remained the real
distress zone and it was there that
the army was concentrating its
forces with the establishment Of
headquarters at Burlington.
No Epidemic Reported
The Vermont state board of health
has been giving 24-hour service in
sending preventative serums to
flooded towns and thus far no re-

brought 10000 treatments for ty-
phoid vaccinations to Burlington

The Marshall justice of the peace
bill, sponsored by the league when
it Was forced through the last ses.
sion Of the state legislature and
the object of its strong support
when brought to a referendum, was
buried under q vote that exceeded
the most optimistic forecasts of its
opponents;
The bill, which would have re-
stored in part the powers Of justice
courts, taken from them by q re-
cent decision Of the United States
supreme court which held against
the existence Of courts that derived
support from the assessment Of
fines, was lost under an adverse
majority Of more than $4,000
votes on the basis of reports from
6,601 Of the 8718 precincts in the
state. The vote was 345, ,0S2 for the
bill and $50, IT'S against.
The wet and dry issue entered
the election on the measure as . re-
suit Of the part played by the JUS
tice courts In enforcing the prohi-
bition laws.
The last wet and dry fight in
