ORGANIZED CRIME

From investigation by the National
Crime Commission, it has been disclosed
that highly organized system of fences
as receivers and disposers of stolen goods
are called, handle more than $500. 000.0 900
worth Of loot each year.
Newton W. Baker, former Secretary
of War. who is chairman ofsthe Commits
sion. declares that the lone burglar is now
a rarity. and that well organized gangs
are plying their thieving trade along eff
ficient business lines.
In order to do this they must have
definite outlets for the property stolen. II
these could be eliminated, Mr. Baker be-
lieves that the total thefts would be largely
reduced. While police and other officers
of the law are aware of this condition, and
generally do what they can to break up
these fences" there is need for greater
cooperation on the part of.th public in
keeping a lookout for places Of this charac-
ter and promptly reporting them to the
authorities.
Losses suffered by the public from
.thefts. burglary and r0bhery almost equal
the destruction by fire. nthese losses are
to be lessened there must be increased
vigilance on the part of all citizens and :
greater determination to aid in putting
criminal gangs out Of business.

TRIBUTE TO IRVING

Recently a tablet to mark the birth
place of Washington Irving in New York
city was dedicated and plans fora $50, 900
memorial to be erected at Irvington-on-
Hudson, where he is buried in Sleepy Hol-
low cemetery, were disclosed.
Irving was born in 1888, and in his
boyhood gave little indication of the great
talents which he afterwards employed
with such marked success. In fact, it is
recorded that while his two brothers We're
permitted to enter college, he was not con-
sidered promising enough to warrant the
expense of such course.
He does not appearrto have been par
ticularly Industrious, but spent much time
in excursions along the Hudson and in
general reading, although he studied in a
law office and was finally admitted to the
bar. He travelled in Europe for two years,
his observations combined with his already
acquired knowledge of American lore CIV
literary work.
After some early writings with rather
Indifferent success, his History of New
York by Diedrick Knickerbocker' APP
peared in 1909 and placed him in the posi-
ton of the first American to win inter-
national fame solely as. a man of letters. its
quaint hpapor and felicitious style winning
instant acclaim on both sides of the At
slantic. taT7
His subsequent works were almost
uniformly successful and covered wide
range, including history and Biography, as
well as many unusual tales of rare charm.
The death of Matilda Hoffman, sweet
heart of Irving's youth, cast shadow over
his life and he never married. He died at
the age of rs.

At the meeting of city council
last, an ordinance was intro
duced relative to parking of auto
mobiles on Duval street. This will
apply solely tothat portion of Du-

of the Key West Electric Com

a long discussion. which was at
times heated, it was decided to
hold over action on the ordinance
until a future meeting of the body.
In the meantime the situation will
be gone into in all its phases by
the city attorney, and he will be

The closed season for crawfish
in these waters will come to an
end on the night of June 90. Ac-
|cording to reports which have been
brought here by fishermen there
are not many crawfishg in the wa
tiers around Key West. Several
local catchers of these crustaceans
have been looking over the situa-
ton in an effort to find produc-
tive banks for the future but
their hunting expeditions are re-
ported to have been in vain. The
erawfish have been either cleaned
out or are hidden in the dense sea
grass or far under the banks.
However, the banks and shelves in
the vicinity of Bahia Honda are
reported to be literally alive with
crawfish and seekers of them will
perforee transfer their activities
to that vicinity.

can't run without the stuff.
The art OF administering speed balls
has been developed to such an extent
that nearly every dOper has his own
special formula, including rules for the
timing and quantity Of the dose. Mr..
Frank G. Menke, probing the subject,
reports certain prescriptions which
call for "a full dose so minutes before
the race on hot days, go minutes on
cold days" or "a half dose so minutes
before post time, second half 20 min

Of very mild shot. full dose five
