San Jose Police Check Mystery Note SAN JOSE, Calif. UP1) -San Jose police today checked the possibility that a "treat" received by a housewife earlier this week may have some "trick" involved. The woman received a letter Monday addressed "Occupant," but carrying her address. It contained four colored snap shots wrapped in five $20 bills of her 10-year-old daugh ter. The pictures showed the little girl playing on the sidewalk in front of her home with a neigh bor's child. Neither youngster knew when the pictures were taken or by whom. The woman also said she has received a series of mysterious phone calls and in each case the party calling held the line open but did not speak. Police returned the pictures and the $100 to the perplexed woman, and began checking the possibility of a link between the anonymous calls and the letter. A police spokesman empha sized that no law has been vio lated, but authorities felt an in vestigation of the incident was. advisable.

They wor shipped the godess Kali, to whom their victims were dedi cated. They garroted their victims with silk bandanas because it was considered a bad omen to stab people with daggers or be head them with swords. One of the outstanding accom plishments of a British Viceroy of India in the middle 19th cen tury was the suppression ot "thuggee." Lord William Bentinck im pounded a burly army officer from Britain, Major General aieemnn, and gave him the task of hunting down the thugs. During a mass anti-bandit campaign which lasted several years, Sleeman captured thou sands of thugs. Most were hanged and the organization was disbanded. British rulers mainlainect their rigid control over law lessness until they left the sub continent in 1947 but relaxed conditions following independ ence brought about a revival of bandits in the country. The new class of bandits proved to be a bigger menace. "These new dacoits (robbers) are actually bands of well or ganized marksmen who do drill actually bands of well organ ized marksmen who o drill and target practice in army fashion," one retired police commandant told UPI. Exploited Change These bandits fully exploited the governmental change-over in 1947 and lost no time in or ganizing gangs which operated from bases in riverside jungles in central India. One of the most famous In dian bandits was a lough, mus I ached feudal lord, Raja (King) ' Man Singh, a sort of Indian Robin Hood who robbed the rich and helped the poor. More than 1.000 policemen ennseq man hingli lor seven years until 1955 when a Gurkha sniper shot the bandit king while he crossed a stream. Man Singh's lieutenant; known as "Roopa, the Hand some One," took over after hia chief's death and was a con. slant terror until 1959 when he, ton, was killed by police. The so-called anli-dacoity op erations have cost the ex chequer a sizable amount of money. The Uttar Pradesh gov eminent alone has a 7 million rupee ($1.5 million) plan for elimination of bandits. Inspector General of Police, K.F. Ruslomji of Madkya Prad ish said banditry in India should end in another 10 years. Itustomji, thinks the bandits now don't have the same local protection they did until a few years ago. ' "They have come down to kidnapping children now, and there is a public revulsion against them which has pro duced solid support for the po lice in the new series of anti dacoity encounters," Rustomji said.
