From a statement made a few days ago by Arthur Woods, Police Commissioner, in discussing the efforts made to run down the assassins of "Parney" Baff. the Independent poultry dealer. It is taken for granted that the restraint in the use of their night sticks, im posed upon the police by previous mu nicipal admlnlftrntlons. Is about to be relaxed. Commissioner Woods has made It plain In the last few days that he Intends to use every weapon available to drive out the gunmen who are responsible for the Baff mur der, and whose operations are one of the chief sources of crime In this city. "Policemen should use discretion in the use of the nlsht sticks." remarked the commissioner." but It is by no means Intended as an ornament. The gangs must go. They should never have been allowed to grow to the ex tent that they have. But we are ad opting vigorous measures, and ulti mately they will he put out of busi ness." To prove his contention that crime is on the decrease, the commissioner gave out figures showing that In the 11 months of the present year only 198 threatening letters had been re ported to the police as against 252 reported In 1913. In 1913 too. 161 bombs were exploded, and so far In 1914 only 54 have been exploded. Or complaints to the police there were 5360 In January last and 2847 in No vember. The recently organized men dicancy squad of five officers has taken up the work of suppressing pro fessional beggars and "floppers," and already has arrested 266 persons, 257 of whom were convicted and sen tenced to Jail terms aggregating more than 40 years.

When you have your auto running In a closed garage look out or you may become a subject for the under taker. Thla la a fact whh Marlon Jack, prominent farmer, learned re cently and from appearances he la fortunate In beliur alive to tell of the experience. - One night during the recent cold spell Mr. Jack decided to drain the water from his auto so aa to prevent It from freezing. Accordingly he went to hla garage, which la of con crete and tightly built With the tfoor closed he started the engine tunning and proceeded to drain off the water. He was busy at tha tusk for a half hour or longer and the wa ter nemg an drained out started to turn off the electric light and leave. He then became overcome by the ab sence of air and fell unconscious to the flood. When he regained con sciousness he waa lying under the running board of the auto and was vtry cold. He waa able to get up and with much difficulty made hla way to hla house. He waa so HI from the effects of hla experience that a doc tor waa aummoned and It waa some time before he waa himself again. He suffered no serious effects from the accident but apparently it Is for tunate he had turned oft the engine before he became asphyxiated. Had he fallen unconscious with the ma chine atlll running In the closed room he would doubtless have succumbed completely aa the engine would havt exhausted the air supply In the ga rage.

He is a foreigner and speaks the Eng lish language very little.

Very little Information could be gotten out of him last evening Through a Portuguese prisoner at the Jail who C()uld speak the Italian lan guage some, he gave hla name and stated he was being taken back to Canada from a town near the border above Seattle when he made his es cape.

He declared he had walked to this city from Port land by way of Attalin and Pasco.
