CRIME 18 RAMPANT Chicago Police in Collusion With Criminals MURDER GOES UNPUNISHED Burglaries by the Thousand, Assaults and Hold-Ups' Committed With Connivance of Big Cfty's Corrupt Police. I CHICAGO. March 25. (Special.)-The Record-Herald. In a page article citing facts and data on record, proves that irime flourishes in Chicago; that It is lot molfsted, but Is positively encouraged md protected. The rocord cited since January 1, 1933. tells tne story of 17 mur Jers, 40 assaults. 73 burglaries and 123 bold-ups. Only those crimes were noted which, with proper police administration, would in all probability have been pre sented. The 73 burglaries Include only luch as were accompanied by such vio lent or sensational features as to be con sidered worth newspaper space. There tvas no "carnival of crime" during: the period. The Chicago police department is com posed of 3200 men, with but 1240 actually traveling beats. The station-houses al ways contain their full complement of men, who have comparatively little to do Except In the more Important stations. In its make-up the department is top- heavy, and in Its administration it is 4 sllque-ridden. Soft Snaps for Pets. The rank and file Intelligent, brave men, capable of making as good a police department as any In the country under proper management find hard police work of th6 rlghtkind unaccompanied by re ward, and favorites of members of the controlling clique, are wormed into "soft snaps" around the supposed civil service barriers. The department is run at an annual expense of 53,500.000 a year to the tax payers, while life and property are in secure and department officials wax rich in .comfortable berths. Department politics, closely allied with general municipal politics, engender feuds and jealousies that have destroyed the morale of the force to a very serious ex tent. Patrolmen, aware of the misdeeds of many of their superiors, fall naturally Into the same ways and put their own Interests first and the welfare of the public "second In importance. Collusion With Lawbreakers. Collusion with gamblers and other law breakers Is common In the department Criminal collusion in some districts ex tends to the thieves, and results In whole sale burglaries. Zot one case of house or flat-breaking in 20 Aver readiest the newspapers, which means that the Total number runs into thousands annually. This class of crime is so general that burglary insurance Is SO per'cent higher than -In any other .city,' and slcverai com panies have withdrawn from, -tW cltjr be cause of -"heavy losses, those" remaining refuse to wrlte: burglary Insurance at any rale in certain; sections of-the city. Burglaries by the Thousand. There is every evidence that thousands of house and flat burglaries of which the public never hears are committed by or ganized gangs. There is also every evi dence that these gangs, if not in col lusion with the police in certain districts, are exempted from danger of arrest by the laxness of police methods, and the indolence and' Inactivity of patrolmen. It is not uncommon for from five to ten flats or houses to be entered in one night In one small neighborhood. These crimes, unless adorned with violent or sensational features, nev.er ap pear In the newspapers, because they are so numerous that space could not be given them, even if the police reported thorn. BIG LINERS IN COLLISION. Parisian and Aibano Limp Into Port With Panicky Passengers. HALIFAX. N. S., March 25. Two great tnfcisatlantlc liners, the Parisian of the Allan Line, and the Aibano. a Hamburg American boat, both bound In. heavily loaded with passengers, collided oft the harbor entrance tonight. Both were se riously damaged, but reached their docks and landed their passengers safely. There was a panic among the passengers on both ships when the yleamers struck. The Parisian's stem touched bottom as she reached her wharf, while hard pumping kept the Aibano free-. The steamers were from European ports, the Parisian from Moville and the Aibano from Hamburg. The Parisian bad about 1000 passengers, many of whom were bound for St. John. X. B. The Aibano carried about SOO passengers, nearly all for Philadelphia, to which port she was to have proceeded after calling here. The Parisian is one of the finest of the Allan fleet, and carried on this trip 400 sacks of mall and 1100 tons of general cargo. An examination of her tonight showed the entire aft hold to be fllled-with water as far forward as the engine-room compartment. She rests on mud bottom. On the opposite side of the same pier Is berthed the Aibano, with her stem twisted and her bowplates damaged. It is be lieved that she can be temporarily re paired so as to proceed on her voyage to Philadelphia. The weather at the time was quite clear. According to Captain Johnson, of the Pa risian, the Aibano, on approaching from the sea, signaled that she would pass astern of the Allan liner, but a moment later headed for the Parisian. Captain Johnson said that he rang to the engine room to go ahead full speed, and his ves sel had Just attained headway when the Aibano struck the Parisian. The bow of the Aibano smashed a hole 12 feet wide and extending from the rail to below the water's edge. After the collision the Aibano drew off, and, hastily securing a pilot, followed the Parisian Into port. Meantime the passengers of the Parisian became panic-stricken. The deck was well tilled with patuengers, many of whom wore Immigrants bound to the Canadian Northwest. Thtse rushed about the deck. women fainted, and there was a mad scramble for life-preservers. CASTKO'S ATTITUDE MENACING France and United States May Com bine to Discipline Him. PARIS, March 25. An official dls- jjiii.cn irom Caracas. Venezuela, say3 President Castro, whn wns lhvont trnm the capital during the recent supposed amelioration of the situation, has re turned, and has manifested strong hos tilities against American and French interests. His attitude, it is added, is practically menacing against the French Cable Company. It Is prema ture to say what steps France will take, as the lnform:itlnnxf 4nKt hn received, and the officials have not had an opportunity to consider It. How ever, it is likely that their action will depend upon President Castro putting: his menaces into effect by overt "acts Slaves to ewe nnd ad Spring Catarrh. Almost every one has come to believe that Spring: is a season that brines de rangements of the body dependent on blood Impurities. This belief "Is an old one, Is nearly universal, and has arisen, not as the result of the teachings of the medical fraternity, but has been learned In the bitter school of experience. ' Nervous Depression. Depression of the nervous system at the approach of Spring Is a. fertile source of blood impurities. There are general lassitude, dull, heavy sensations, continual tired feel ings, with Irregular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. That Tired Peeling. That tired feeling, which is the nat ural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the Invigorating cold of Winter, quickly disappears when Peruna is taken. against the company or tho forfeiture of its concessions. No orders for warships to be held In readiness have yet been Issued oriare contemplated for the present, but there seems to be a growing impression In official quarters that tho presence of a warship in Venezuelan waters might exercise a salutary influence. The official dispatch adds that Presi dent Castro's declination to arbitrate, the American demands was accom panied by a refusal to hold any con versation on the subject. The French Cable Company has received advices practically to the same effect. These indicate that President Castro's influ ence will probably cause the court to render final Judgment upon the cable company's concession early next week. It is the unofficial opinion that the attitude of President Castro against both American and French Interests makes the moment opportune for some exchange of communications between the two governments toward eventual action along similar lines.

Would Put American In Charge of Southern Ports of Santo Domingo Till Treaty Is Acted Upon. SANTO DOMINGO. March 23. Tle grame published in the United States that diplomats here and fiscal representatives of foreign govern ments which are creditors of Santo Domingo have, at a conference, agreed on a temporary settlement of the fiscal question involving this republic are premature. Foreign creditors, principally Italy and Belgium, are taking advantage Of the deferring ot the proposed conven tion between the United States and. Santo Domingo and of the Venezuelan conven tion to secure payment of the claims. In order to meet the situation, it has been proposed by the Dominican govern ment that an American be designated as commissioner for the collection of all custom dues at southern ports, 45 per cent of these collections being set apart for the expense of the government and 55 per cent, less expense of collection, being deposited in an American bank un til the Sanchez-DIlllngham convention is either ratified or rejected; should the convention be ultimately rejected the money to be divided in Just proportion to all creditors. Including the Santo Do mingo Improvement Company, of New York. It Is also suggested that the Amer ican Government take charge of the custom-houses at Sanchez and Samana un der the arbitral award In the Santo Do mingo Improvement Company case. It is understood the Improvement com pany, claiming prior rights, demands that' 55 per cent of the money collected at the. northern ports be also deposited in an American bank to await the final dispo sition of the convention. It Is doubtful If such a proposition will be accepted. Thus far nothing has been decided. The government is desirous of some agree ment being reached In order to prevent difficulties with European creditors, which might lead to intervention and also pre cipitate internal troubles.

FIRST STORY OF ARRANGEMENT Negotiations Which Led to Prema ture Announcement. NEW YORK. March 25. Thomas C.

He met Charles Renoz, the Belgian Minister; Dr. E. de Perra Blesa, Span ish Charge d Affaires, who Is acting for both Spain and Germany; Luigi Cambiaso. Charge d' Affaires for Italy; W. R. Thormann, bead, of the German Consular Bureau In San Domingo; B. Bancalari, a leading Italian creditor, and representatives of the Dominican government. French Charge d Af faires sde Toux was not present, but was represented. Subject to the ap proval of the Washington authorities, an amicable agreement was reached for a temporary settlement of ques tion at Issue,, pending the final ap proval or rejection of the protocol by the United States -Senate. . The Dominican government agrees that Mr. Dawson shall nominate one American citizen to act as interior commissioner and collect all the cus tom house revenues of the island, ac cording to the spirit of the protocol. This commissioner, according to the agreement, will pay 45 per cent of the actual net receipts to the Dominican government. The remaining 55 per cent will be deppsited intact in a re sponsible hank, subject to ultimate disposition under the American protor col. and no distribution will be made from this fund. In the meantime. Minister Dawson has wired to Wash ington for permission to nominate the commissioner. The Dominicans are pledged to appoint the nominee. Foreign creditors and diplomats are said to be in perfect accord to em power the selection of a receiver, who must be an American, with foreign as sent guaranteed. Until the Senate acts, there will be. under the new arrangement, no further partition of the customs reve nues, the entire 55 per cent of the net receipts ?olng into the common fund and being held in trust.
