SAFETY FUST IS

. BURGUUIS" MOTTO Visit Homes and if Someone Answers Knock, They Ask For Food Police Say the Thieves Are Not Experts, That the thieves who have committed tho numerous house robberies in South Bend during the past few weeks arc not experts at the business is the opinion of the pollen department who are making a, strenuous effort to lay hands on the culprits. Although the polico will not admit that tho thieves are professionals tho methods used by the robbers Indicate novelty to certain extent and a system which practically obliviates possibility of belntf caught red-handed. Tho various rabid which have taken placo at the homes on the north and northwest side during the past few weeks have all taken placo between the hours of 7 and 9 in tho evening. In every instaneo the residents have been away at tho time indicating that the thieves are certain that the houses arc empty of occupants before entering. According to stories told by several of those whose homes have been robbed, tho thieves uso a unique "safety first" system. Before entering the house one of the men will k to the rear door of the house and knock. If someone answers ho requests food. If the robber receives no answer to his knock tne signal is given his pals and the work starts immediately. In practically every instance th thieves have pried open cither a front door or a front window. This lead.; to the belief the men who have made the various robberies arc the same. The thefts generally occur in groups of three or four in the same neighborhood. On" Wednesday night when four robberies were corr mittod aloni; X. Michigan st., one man was captured and is being held by the polce on suspicion. He is Ionnie King of (Minion, .Mo., who claims to be the son of a farmer. Chief of Detectives John Kuespert stated last nUht that thus far the police have been unable to gut anything "on" the man. Km spirt stated that there would nroliai.iy be something develop in the case by Saturday night. One of the most pleasant surprises In the police department came on Tuesday night, the opening niuht of the Fashion week program, wherj it was expected that there would b a number of robberies reported, it beirg, apparently, an ideal niurh for the work of the thieves. Although the police sat on the edge of tluir chairs all evening no robberies were reported although the next night brought the raid on . Michigan st. It is probable that some new arrests will be made in connection Hth the recent robberies if indications about the police station can be depended upon. Appearances arc that the detective squad ia about ready to draw the net strings which will envelope the thieves who have been operating so extensively here of late. DANISH VESSEL HELD UP Lruzcilcs Had IJeon lMsscd by Uritish I'attol Ship. LONDON, March 1". The Danish vessel Hruzelles of 2, -Of) tons which sailed from Philadelphia recently with a rarRo of motor oil. bound for Stockholm, was stopped in the Paltic and taken into the harbor at Swinemunde, according to an 7'xchange Telegram dispatch from Copenhagen. The vessel had been previously inspected by the English patrol off Kirkwall "who found everything on the ship in order and allowed her to proceed. The action of the Germans in stopping her has caused considerable interest in shipping circles here where it is believed that the stoppage may signalize a new era on the Haltic. 1 Tl or KPVPrvi vftars

Being Saturday it is expected that there will b-? many persons coming in from the surrounding towns and country to enJoy the final festivities of the occas.on. Several additional features have been arranged in the different stores for tho closing day of the event which will end at 10 o'clock tonight. The crowds which have already been attracted to the various concerns by the artistic displays is taken as a criterion of tho crowd which will throng the stores this afternoon and tonight. The success of Fashion week in South Bend augurs well for a repetition of the affair next spring when an even more extensive program will bo conducted. It was net the purpose of Fashion week to inspire immediate buying by the consumer but rather to educate the people vjf South Bend to the advantages which the local concerns have fir the buying: public. It has been strikingly shown that it is not necessary to leave South Bend to secure the best materials in any line as the merchants have displayed stocks which compare? equally with that which is snown and sold in the laruer cities. It is believed that hereafter the people here will have a better conception of the materials which can be bought in South Bend anel that they will ieel more satisfied in purchasing their materials here. There v.;"l be a number of novel features in the different siores today and the demonstrations v ill continue until the closing hour tonight.
