DAILY PALLADIUM, TUESDAY

A NUMBER OF CHANGES ARE ASKED FOR SEVERAL IN- ....... . , , ' , '...'.'.. DIANA LAWS BY THE POLICE ASSOCIATION Which Met at South Bend Last Week as an Auxilliary to the w Municipal League. The Police Association of the State of Indiana, r an auxilliary of the I Municipal League, of . Indiana, Which met recently at South Bend made a number of requests and recommendations in. regard .to . several laws of the . State of Indiana. This request ha3 been printed in pamphlet form and a number of . these pamphlets have been mailed to a large number of prominent citizens. The Police Association desires that these recommendations be carried through at the next meeting of the Indiana legislature and asks the citizens to help them. A few of the requests are given below. It is recommended that the pen alty for burglary be a term of from ten to twenty years in the penitentiary -and disfranchisement and rendered incapable of holding any publie, ofilce for any determinable peri oil. '."Tne law is modeled after the Ohio law, which regards every man's house as his castle. and' makes punishment for burglary very severe. The association recommends that horse stealing be made a -vime separate from la reeny, a nd th at the pen BAtybsn -Atuiaiu- iJltpfflttifbntiar of from five to fourteen years. Under the present laws horse stealing comes under the head of grand larceny, and the penalty is a tenn of from .one to fourteen years. Superialendent Gormon has been advocating such a law as the one proposed for the past fifteen years. One of the new laws proposed by the association is an act making it a felony to entice into, or harbor in a house of ill fame,' any female person under the age of twenty-one years. The punishment for this felony is fixed at imprisonment in the penitentiary for not more than fourteen years, nor less than two years. It is recommended that the punishment for robbery be fixed at "imprisonment for from five to twenty years instead of from two to fourteen years as under the present law. Repeal of , the section describing the ei"ime of burglary is "recommended. The object is to make the breaking into a house burglary, whether the act bo committed in tlie-dav time or night. '-.',. Anoiho: inr.-ortant.' recommendation is that 'making it a felony to own or have in possession burglary tools of any description, and making the punishment imprisonment from two to fou rteei years.
