POLICE AND THE CRIMINALS
FEWER FELlONIES AND MORE ARRESTS.
MR.. ROOSEVELT SAYS.

ANSWER TO TALK ABOUT INCREASE OF CRIME
IN THE cIrY-HorEL MEN CONTRADICT RE-
PORTS OF RoBBERIEs- SOME EFFECTS
OF SUNDAY LAW ENFORCEMENT
The efforts lately made by some people to
create an impression In the public mind that the
police, under the new reform administration. are
less able TO cope with thieves and roughs. and
that crime is increasing In the city, are regarded
by the police officials with amusement. not I'M
mixed with resentment, II Is believed BY the
Police Commissioners that some Of the talk about
alleged increase OF crime In the city has been
inspired by n former high official Of the Depart
ment. who was obliged to retire from his office.
and that he has made statements upon which the
reports are based. AS for such reports, they
have been contradicted entirely and completely.
President Roosevelt has had careful search
OF the police records made to ascertain the facts
about feionies committed In the city. and the ar
rests for feonies during the present year, and he
made use OF the information thus obtained when
he said yesterday to a Tribune reporter:
THE total number Of felonies reported in this
city during January February and March Of this
year was 75s The number OF felones reported
during June and one-half Of July was 3l3. Now.
at the same ratio there would be 626 felonies In
the city during the months Of June, July and
August Under the old regime there were eight
and one-half felones reported in the city every
day at an average, while during the past six
weeks under the new regime, there were less
than seven felonies day. This shows marked
shrlnkage In the number OF the felonies COM
mitted in the city. We cannot expect such
shrinkage TO continue. but / give the figures
merely to show that the statement about crime
increasing In the city Is not true. The statement
Is shown to be exactly contrary to the truth. 1t
is evident that crime has actually decreased. and
persons making a statement to the contrary are
guilty Of deliberate bad faith.
FEWER FEIONIES AND MORE ARRESTS
The arrests for felonies cover large number
OF feonles which not reported as such, De-
cause when policeman sees a felony committed
and makes an immediate arrest the case is re-
ported as an arrest and not as felony During
January February and March Of this year the
police In this city made 9l2 arrests for felonies
During the past six weeks the number OF arrests
for feonies was 4S1. In other words. during the
first three months OF the year the arrests for
feonies averaged a trfe over ten day, while
during the past six weeks. owing TO the greater
activity and zeal OF the police. the arrests Tor
felonles averaged nearly eleven a day
Thus. while the number OF felones mas de-
creased under the new regime. the number OF
arrests for feloniA has increased. The figures
show that we have nearly one felony less and
one arrest more a day than under the old regime
What better answer than that can be given to
those who want the public to believe that crime
is increasing in the city,

Paderewslsi Coming.

At the Hyperion on Tuesday after noon, December 8, at 2:S0 o'clock, the famous pianist M. Paderewski will give a piano recital. The first great and inn portant fact established is that Peder- ewski plays better than ever. His ad- mirers supposed him to be perfect three years ago, but he has shown them that they were wrong. Unspoiled by suc- cess, he has toiled on harder than ever not only with his fingers, but with his brain, by creating a Polish fantasia and a Polish opera during his absence. Since his return to New York he has prac- ticed seven hours a day Genie oblige, as Liszt said. Genius may not be sym onymous with hard work, as Carlyle in- timated, but it is very much dependent on it. Paderewski's career ought to be an example to those foolish conserva- tory misses who want to rush on the concert stage after two or three terms in school and year of finishing touch- es" abroad. He was nearly thirty be- fore he came forward as a professional virtuoso, though he was a professor of the pianoforte at the Strasburg conser- vatory at twenty-three, One reason why amateurs are so eager to hear him is that he has never done his practising on them, as some pianists and conduc- tors do, but does 1t at home.
 Sale of seats opens Tuesday, Novem- Der 26, at the box office of the Hyperion theater at a. m
