Declares Open Season
On Tribe of Yeggmen
Chicago.-!-Tbe open season for bank
robbers has arrived, according to Ed
ward S.'Areatv-head of the protective
department o? the Illinois Bankers
Association)'who is laving plans to
forestall *w oat be describes as “the
epidemic of baak robberies which is
upon us.1’
Mr Arentz has outlined a plan of
bans protection which he expects, if
carried out. will minimize bank losses
from holdups and burglaries.
Working through the county federa
tion of the State bankers’ organisation,
bankers throughout Illinois ate being
urged to take up the Arentz plan,
which provides for appointment of a
deputy maishal for every bank in
-every town and organization of a vigil
ance committee in every large town.
The captain of tbe committee also
would be a deputy sheriff.
Areoiz suggests that shotguns be
■ placed in all places of business sur
rounding the bank, to be used in emer
gency.
A regular crew of four men, he savs.
should be stationed at the sheriff’s
office, with a higb-power automobile,
ready to jump into the machine and
speed to the scene of any bank holdup
or any other major crime.
By proper arrangement with the
| telephone company, which would bo
1 fiixri'ichaH rnith a lief rvf AVAPV
deputy sheriff iu the county would be
uotified and a guard thro wo out to in
tercept travelers on all. roads ieading
from the crime. If the bandits have
passed through the cirels of deputies,
other towns would be notifed and the
i vigilance committees of ;tbose towns
would then take up the case.
H, A. Fox, well known old-timer of
Dawson, recently wrote to the forestry
department at Hongkong, China, and
secured a quantity of a famous vege
table of that country known as Chi
nese celery-cabbage. The vegetable
i can be eaten raw or cooked. He also
i sent for a Chinese radish, which grows
to enormous size, often six to eight
inches in diameter and a foot long.
John B. Marshall, before a notary
public at Juneau, recently took oath of
office as director of prohibition enforce
ment for Alaska. He did not name his
assistants.
