POLICE TO BE i EQUIPPED WITH 1 HEAVY ARMOR Chicago Force Suffers 12 Fatalities at Hands of Gunmen. Bn United Press - CHICAGO, Dec. 18.—Appalled by the slaughter of policemen by Chicago gunmen, Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins is seeking an effective protective armor to save his men. Collins, at the request of the United Press, compiled mortality figures Showing that in 1924, twelve policemen were killed by criminals while the police in turn killed thirtythree law breakers. So far this year, the same number of policemen had been shot to death and twenty-three gunmen died from bullet wounds inflicted by policemen. "Shoot to Kill” Policemen have orders to shoot to kill. "There Is only one way to meet the gunmen and that is with guns,” Collins declared. "Gunmen do not hesitate to use revolvers on their victims or the policemen when they are In danger of arrest, and my men have been Instructed to beat them to the shooting. "The policemen have been told to shoot first when they find a gunman In the active commission of a crime or when a known gunman gives the slightest resistance to arrest.” Scores Wounded Scores of gunmen and policemen have been wounded during the past two years. "I want to give our men all the protection possible and for that reason I want some sort of a shield,” Collins said. Colins yesterday tried out a shield he wants for his automobile squads. Bullets from a thirty calibre Mauser revolver easily punctured the device. Collins will ask the makers to use heavier armor. DANCE RECITAL PLANNED Pupils of Miss Relew to Give Program Saturday.
