It is believed that there is no law or regulation which is sufficiently stringent to cope with the situation. Time and time again detectives have been assigned to what at first appears a legitimate case, only to find that the supposed victim was imposing upon them, Inspector Grant said yesterday. He expressed himself in favor of a penitentlary sentence and a heavy fine. Admits False Report. Only during the past week a report jeame in during the early morning hours that a man had been chloro- formed and robbed by thugs with pistols. The attention of four detec- tives was given the case.

It took up hours of valuable police time to straighten this quirk out. Elderly Woman Gagged. Then there was a case, the motive of which was a mystery. An eiderly woman was found gagged and bound, the rear kitchen window smashed, and she reported that a negro had entered the house and taken $180 in savin, The savings were found in a jardiniere in the parlor later. \What first aroused the suspicion of the police, however, was the discovery of Fred Sandberg, fingerprint expert, that smail pleces of glass from the window, evidently pulled from the putty, bore distinctly the woman's fingerprints. Her prints had been obtained after the discovery of the When the police small prints on the panes of glass,.| indicating that it had been removed by no large person. Why she did this remained a mystery, but the police had no alternative, but to work on the case until it was finally clear in their minds. Here's another one. A chap was found bound to a tree some time ago, with a handkerchief gagging his mouth. He told his story. He said that he had been approached and robbed by a footpad, who used his own handkerchief to’ gag him. The knot was cut off, and on the hem of the handkercilef were found the in- itials of the “victim" himself. This made his storv look rather fishy.

The Army appropriation bill may temporarily displace the tariff bill in the Senate during part of the coming weék, it was said last night. The Army bill has been prepared for re- port to the Senate by the appropria- tions committee, and will be submit- ted to the Senate soon. Senate lesd- ers are hopeful of disposing of the Army bill within a few days. It is recognized that the bill must be put through long before the tariff bill can be disposed of, since the end of the fiscal year is June 30, Republican members of the finance committee, which handles the tariff aside for a couple of days, which would give the committee opportunity to work on further amendments to the tarift bill, based on new Informa- tion which was reaching them daily. The struggle in the Senate over the tariff bill was continued yesterday while under the surface the republi- cans discussed the advisability of at- tempting to bring about cloture on the bill. The Senate finally disposed of committee amendments to one par- agraph dealing with duties on steel wire and wire rope. The democrats, joined at times hy some republica fight against the increases proposed, but without success. The committee however, receded from all of its orig- inal recommendations cutting the rates proposed, and Senator McCum- ber, republicari, North Dakota, in charge of the bill, intimated that some further reductions might he proposed when the Senate took up this paragraph-for a final vote after committee amendments in the entire | bill have been disposed of. s e e e offices in the downtown section. where he confessed that he had tied himself up to create sympathy on the part of his brother in the hope that the lat- ter would give him some cash.
