Raffles and a Burglar: San Francisco Case Recounted
A long account recalls a San Francisco burglar known as Fitzpatrick, once of high society, who turned to theft across residences and businesses. After initial leniency, police kept him under watch as his pattern of crimes continued, leading to renewed inquiries and possible penitentiary sentences. The narrative emphasizes his contrast with affluent peers and his criminal instinct.

Glasgow Street Car System Proves Public Ownership Works
In Glasgow the city runs its street cars without politics, turning a profit while keeping fares low. Since municipal control began, the system covers all expenses, pays interest on borrowed capital, builds a sinking fund, and yields a city surplus. Fares range from one to eleven cents with a two cent base fare, servicing a transit fleet of about 1,000 cars and extensive double track.
