COPPERS WILL SELL TICKETS TO SHANK BALL However, Purchase Doesn’t Include ‘Protection’ for Law Violators. MAYOR GIVES VIEWS Does a dry beer saloon keeper or poolroom operator think when he buys a ticket for something or other from a policeman he also Is purchasing license to ludge a wee bit in obedience of the law? Not when the tickets are for “Lew Shauk’s Valentine Ball” for the unemfiloyed, the board of public safety decided oday. Since Tuesday the debate has raged between Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank, thief of Police Herman F. Rlkhoff, (•resident Ernest L. Kingston and Republican Member E. G. Sourbier of the board of public safety and Democratic board Member James E. Armitage over tvhether the policemen should be allowed to sell tickets to the mayor’s charity ball. Mr. Armitage finally won out and thousands of tickets were being distributed to the “coppers” today. Firemen ilso have them for sale. Pop is sure-fire tALESMAX, SAYS SHANK. “You know as well as I that when a topper walks Into a saloon and tells the feeper he's got to buy so many tickets, ihe proprietor Is going to buy. The cops tan sell the tickets all right. But the proprietor also Is going to think he’s lone the cop a favor and figure that he tan get by with a little stuff,” argued tiayor Shank. “Shucks 1” countered Mr. Armitage. ‘The board of safety is not going to stand tor any patrolman letting anybody ‘get by’ with anything. They know we’ll know it if they try it, and I don’t think the owners of saloons and poolrooms think they are buying special privileges tvhen they buy tickets from policemen. (They just buy them because they like to help the policemen along. Besides this. Isn’t a matter of helping the policemen Gong. It’s for the benefit of the unemployed and the police can't benefit a bickel by it. I don’t see any chance for this special favor business. Fm for let ting the boys sell tbe tickets.” MERCHANTS ASK MANY IMPROVEMENTS. The safety board will receive a committee from the East Washington Street Merchant's Association at the regular board meeting Tuesday afternoon. The merchants will ask for an improvement In conditions at the city marker, discussing particularly what can be done In cooperation with tbe county commissioners to clean np conditions In the curb market around the courthouse. The merchants’ committee recently called upon Mayta Shank and asked for Improvements as follows. Additional Street and boulevard lights in streets upon which members are located: establishment of new safety zones at New Jersey and East streets in Washington strt. t, improvement of Cruse street from Georgia to Washington street, improvement of East street from Washington Street to Virginia avenue and the laying of double car tracks therein; Investigation of a proposed expenditure of $250,000 for remodeling of the courthouse, and reduction of fire insurance rates. Members of the committee were-; Sol H. Kiser, A. S. Pierson, Elmer Steffen, Phil G. Kerz, Clarence I. Baker and Samuel Mueller.

McClennon, 926 East Fall Creek boulevard, apartment 4, an awful scare early todav and brought out a whole flock of policemen, including motor police and the emergency squad from headquarters. Screams of “Help, help, burglars,’’ floating out upon the otherwise peaceful air at about 1:30 a. m., were beard by Patrolmen Hobson and Hadley, who were in the neighborhood. One officer sent in an emergency call and the other rushed off to locate the trouble. NEIGHBORHOOD THROWN INTO EXCITEMENT. He found Mr. McClennon, leaning out of the window of his apartment yelling that burglars had tried to break into hig room. About this time the emergency squad and two motor police from sub station No. 1. arrived, the house was surrounded and the whole neighborhood thrown into a state of excitement.
