Sheriff'S Force Will Arrest
All Stragglers Found Roaming
Streets After Midnight Hour

Petty thievery is still going on
in Key West, and Sheriff Sawyer,
in an attempt to curb it or stop it,
will begin tonight to arrest every
straggler found on the street after
midnight Sheriff Sawyer, his
regular deputies and special dep
uties will work separately and
will cover practically the entire
city from midnight to daylight.
8 Sheriff Sawyer said today that
he and his deputies know almost
ALI thegmen who are working at
night, and the few they do not
know can easily prove that they
are employed. Nobody, who can
show he has good reason to be in
the street after midnight, will be
molested.
The object of the drive, Sheriff
Sawyer explained, is to rid the
streets of men, most of them not
residents of Key West, who nei-
Their work nor seem disposed to
obtain work. Those men, the
sheriff stated, will be arrested on
a charge of vagrancy, and their
cases will be decided in the Mon
roe County Criminal Court of
Record.
Sheriff Sawyer this morning re-
iterated his opinion that a great
deal of the petty thievery in Key
West can be traced to careless
ness. His assertion is borne out

Policemen Join Sheriff And
Deputies In Effort Toward
Stamping Out Petty Thievery

The policemen and the sheriff
and his deputies have joined fore
es in an attempt to stamp out
the petty thievery that has been
going on in Key West the last
two months or so. Sheriff Saw

der him when he makes his ap-
peal to the people of Key West:
BE careful in handling your
money. 1 have heard of a good
many cases where women have
entered restaurants or stores and
put down their handbags and
forget them for at least a few
minutes, but on several occa-
sions for longer periods. There
have even been cases where the
handbags were not remembered
till their owners left the stores
or restaurants.

''Pickpockets may be operat-
ing in Key West, but there is
no handbag snatching going on.
The thefts that are being COM
mitted are being done by what
we may call sneak thieves, and
the very best way to stop that
type of stealing is for the pub
lie generally to exercise care in
protecting their valuables. Don't
leave lying around valuableS of
any kind, whether they be jewel
ry, your handbag, your purse or
your wallet.
"This morning 1 heard of an
other theft, and it turned out
that a young lady had left her
handbag lying open on counter
in department store, and, when
she went to look for her wallet,
found out it had been taken out
of the handbag. So, be careful,
please"

In commenting on Henderson'S
order, some officials here said
that walking is likely to become
fashionable" in the United
States next year. More and
more gasoline will be needed for
the country's armed forces, and
drastic cuts will be made in
private consumption to assure
full supplies to the military serv-
ices.
Henderson stated that there is
a possibility, after the sale of
gasoline to private motorists is
permitted, that the present week
ly gallonage may be further de-
creased.
The report persisted here to-
day that Senator Prentiss Brown
of Michigan will be named by
President Roosevelt as Hender-
sons successor.
