THE SUPPRESSION OF STREET BEGGING.

The Charity Organization Society supplies the
following Information concerning the first months
work OF the special officers detailed by the Police
Department to work In cooperation with the So
ciety In the suppression of street begging:
one hundred and eighty-six cases were dealt
and eighteen discharged with reprmands
from the court. No record was made OF the num-
Der who warned TO cease begging, and there
was less occasion for such warnings because OF
the wide notice through the newspapers that
special measures were contemplated for suppress
ing street b.gsing. OF those arrested 90 were beg
ging from door to door. and "a were soliciting aims
the street; IL were tramps. IL under twen-
ty-one years old. 90 between twenty and forty
100 over forty. Only q claimed TO have homes
50 lived In cheap lodging houses, 60 homeless
and were EOn-residents. or the number lis APP
pcared TO be persstently dissolute Migrants, Of
whom p were Identified professional beggars
previously arrested. The above figures include the
cases dealt with by the special officers OF the
cety. More important than these figures Is the
obvious result OF the movement In the comparnt tive
absence OF the professional beggar from the
OF the city Close observers who had complained
OF their frequency In the early winter. have
marked with surprise their disappearance within
the last month. II Is in part first scare, and
they VIII no doubt reappear. but the Department
Will be ready To deal with them. The first months
experience demonstrates that the evil Is with
which II Is not especially difficult TO cope success
fully. Special provision has been made AT the
various Offices OF the Charity Organization Society
for the relief Of deserving persons found begging
by the officers. but there has been no occasion
thus far To draw upon II.
