FROM POLICE RECORDS.

Indulgence, Intemperance and Crime In
San Francisco.
The total number of arrests made during
the past twelve months and booked at the
City Prison was 26,65i
BY far the greatest portion of this number
was caused by the most common of mans
vices, intemperance, as shown by 775 charged
with chronic drunkenness. 10, 426 for ordinary
drunkenness and 1l8 arrested for visiting
opium joints, making a grand total of IA. $40,
which, when compared with the total TO-
last year, shows that this vice is rapidly inr
creasing.
There were 1907 arrests for.vagrancy. 76
Tor begging, 272 for wandering around in
an insane condition, 129 INDECENT persons
sent to the AlmShouse, and 1884 who for
want Of means were forced to apply for
nights lodging at the City Prison, making a
grand total OF 1853.
The belligereDt character of the popula-
ton is shown by % arrests for murder. So
for assault to murder, 275 for assault with
deadly weapon, 1925 for disturbing the
peace and 7+5 for battery. A comparison
with last years totals from the MOrgue and
police records shows that the number of
murders were almost equal for the twelve
months. but the number Of men arrested
for this crime last year exceeds this year
largely.
The propensity OF the popuiace to ap-
propriate other peoples property is Illus
trated by 345 arrests for burglary, 139 for
robbery, rs for obtaining valuables by false
pretenses. 1863 for ENLIGHTENMENT, 290 for
grand larceny. 100 for petty larceny, AZ for
forgery, making a grand total of 1898 ar
rests for this class of crime, which. when
compared with the total for the preceding
year, shows crime to have been generally on
the increase.
Although strict laws have been passed to
suppress gambling, and while it is claimed
they are being rigidly enforced, this vice
continues to flourish In the city, as shown
by 5S8 arrests for this misdemeanor, and the
total given does not include the large num-
