GUMS BRISTLE IN
FIGHT ON CRMS
N NEW YORK CY
Store Clerks in Big Establish
: mehts Arm Selves; Police Fly
ing Squadron Is Held Ready.
New York, Dec. W. (UVPO
Father ' Knickerbocker took his old
blunderbuss from the rack tonight
to drive crime from his home.
In the last month he has been Jos
"tled, Insulted, injured And robbed as
ever before tiy organized erookdom.
Tonight he was through with toleration,
ready to make New York, the metropo
lin'of America, not merely the crime
centor.
, Steps taken to rid the city of crime
toriHiKted first of offeial recognition of
lhs. crime wave and a definite program
by' the police department to crush it.
kQl ADKO.V IS FORMED
A. flying Squadron waa formed to
raid a known rendezvous. Courts were
urged to hasten the trial and convic
tion of suspects now in -Jail and -those
yet to be jailed, and merchants han
dling: large sums of money were asked
to -arm their messengers.
The latter, advice, from Mayor John
,K. Dylan himself, had been acted upon
liefore the city's executive took note of
the crime wave. The Kterlingr Silver
Manufacturers' association, following
the coldrblooled murder of one of their
members, formed a vigilance associa
tion. Its purpose is to take summary
action at the first hint of banditry in
any of its establishments.
WiTE IS SPREADING
A reign ot crime is riot confined to
New York, according to Mayor Hylan.
He declared it had spread throughout
the country and that it was an indi
rect result of the war. Besides the
general lowering of moral standards,
men with criminal instincts have been
jtaught the use of firearms and have
lost their feeling of the eacredneas of
human life. '
Hylan declared other cities were suf
fering as is New York, but that the
raids In other centers are not so spec
tacular. Aa a result of the mayor's statement
the city became an armed camp in a
small way.
CLEBKS ABE ARMED
Clerks in the big jewelry stores
whose rich displays along . Fifth ave
nue have contributed to the highway's
fame were armed. Blue steel -vied with
blue diamonds in the attention of
clerks. In normal times revolvers have
laid abtout stores within convenient
reach. Now they are openly displayed
among the trays and on every ledge
at hand for any emergency. ;
The "deadline," always established In
the Christmas shopping period, waa ex
tended today. Known crooks stepping
over the line are subject to summary
arrest., '
The "deadline" was a favorite pre
caution in - previous . years, but there al
ways has been argument as to its ef
fectiveness. It , waa, known that in the
present 'crime wave , crooks have - vio
lated the rule with impunity. ,1 ,
FOLICB ARE READY
Tonight, the last vt the Saturdays
before the final Christmas crush, was
awaited with anxiety by officials. Deal
ers in luxuries also were timorous. Re
serves were ready In most of the sta
tions for instant action if there is
another outbreak of depredations such
as have marked the last two days.
Among events' which claimed attention
in the last two days were:
The robbery of a woman, the robbery
being aided by her taxi driver.
; The robbery of a silk store.
The murder of a police lieutenant.
The holding up and robbery of pas
sengers of a trolley car-just across the
Hudson from New York.
A - score of minor holdups and thefts.

I
that several years ago the terminal
company was enjoined by he same in
terests now seeking continued use of
the Union station from expanding its
facilities and that the O-W. r; & N., a
unit of the Union Pacific system, was
compelled Aa provide ta own freight fa
cilities outside the terminal property at
a cost of approximately $750,000.
It Is , further stated that with the
opposing factions now using the station,
tins O-W. is forced at times to suspend
freight operations and hold some pas
sengers outside the terminal awaiting
track facilities. , :
COSSOtlDATIOJT REFUSED
Prior to federal control the G. N. and
S. P. & S. were offered use of the termi
nal on an equal basis, but consolidation
was refused says O'Brien. The letter
received Is as follows: ;
"Responsive to your letter, 16th, where
in request is preferred that the Great
Northern Railway and the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle Railway company be
permitted to continue the use of the pas
senger facilities of the Terminal com
pany pending an investigation by your
honorable commission, beg to say:
"This company is maintained to fur
nish freight and passenger facilities for
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
Southern Pacific company and Oregon
Washington Railroad & Navigation com
pany. Several years since, it was en
joined by the interests that are now
Peeking accommodations, from expand
ing its facilities and one of its tenants,
the O-W. R. & N. company, was com- I
pelled, at a cost of f approximately a
quarter of a million dollars, to provide
Its own freight facilities outside of the
terminal properties, ,
FACILITIES "INADEQUATE
"Until federal control, the Great
Northern Railway company and Spor
kane, Portland & Seattle Railway com
pany established and used their own
separate terminals and during that per
iod of several years, the inconvenience
to the public, that is now assigned as
the reason for the use of our facilities,
obtained, but they declined our proposal
for consolidated terminals
, "With federal control, passenger serv
ice was reduced and subordinated to
freight operations and some of their
passenger trains were admitted into the
terminal of this company, and tins' use
has been permitted to the present time,
with such inconvenience to the tenant
lines that at times we have been com
pelled to suspend freight operations and
to hold some of the passenger trains of
our tenant lines out of our terminal for
from one-half to three-quarters of an
hour.
OUSTER ORDER STANDS ''
"Passenger service is now being re
sumed to normal and our facilities are
inadequate to take care of the trains
of our tenants and those of our neigh
bors, and this is the understanding re
quested by our letter. The Great North-,
ern, and S. P. & S. make this applieation
at a time' when no substantial capital
1
exDendlture can be arranged . for. an
Indeed, none is proposed. J
"That we are reouired to furnish read.
sonable service for the patrons of ouf
tenant lines is admitted, and to do thUJ
with out present facilities requires mosB
efficient operation.; Our inability ., t
do more is due to the interests that, novj
look to us for a service we cannot renl
der if we respond to our obligation tft
the people whom we are.; required t1
serve.;.'.-- ... u
"Solicitous as we are to comply witn
requests preferred by ', your bonorabl
body, 'we are sure that in the light o
the foregoing -you will agree with uj
in
that we should not do so in this
