POLICE WORK.
What is Shown by Chief Dwyer's
Annual Report.

Chief of Police Dwyer has submitted
his annual report to Mayor Land, show
ing the number and nature of the ar
rests made during the past year, and
containing other interesting informa-
ton.
Of the arrests made 2,653 were on
nlisdemeanor, and IS on felony charges.
The cases We're disposed of in the fol-
lowing manner: County Jail for mis-
demeanor, 2S3; held to answer felony
charges, %; sent to insane asylums, Z;
taken TO State prisons, IS; taken to
other cities, 80; commitments withheld,
so; discharged, 1,456; died at Receiving
Hospital, Is; remaining al City Jail De-
cenber 20th, 5.
The total number of meals furnished
during the year was 11.773; number
of lodgings furnished, 344; money re-
ceived, S22
chief Dwyer recommends the ap-
pointment of two more police officers,
and offers the following reason for so
doing:
The beats patrolled by my officers
| are too large, particularly beat No. g.,
which comprises all of the territory
from Twelfth street to Thirty-fi first and
AiOlII - 10 II. OWluS TO the SIfldll uuul-
Der of policemen in my department, one
officer has to patrol the above named
beat. On both the night and day
watches the residents of the eastern
portion of the city complain of not re-
| ceiving proper police protection. Should
| place more than one officer on beat
No. 6 1 would be compelled to take
them from the business portion of the
city"
Chief Dwyer also recommends the
| purchase of a short barreled shotgun,
as an adjunct to the patrol wagon, stat
ing that occasions might at any time
arise when it would be necessary to
have at hand a more effective weapon
than the small arms carried by the Off
GERS.
Chief Dwyer notes with regret the
death of Officer v. F. Taylor, in whom
he says, the Police Department lost a
brave and efficient officer and the city
a good citizen.

HOBSON DENIES.

Lieutenant Hobson has te1egraphed to
a Milwaukee paper, sharply denying the
stories about his kissing bees" He
says the facts have been utterly exag-
gerated''.; that they have occasioned
him infinite pain and chagrin; that the
facts are that some little school-chil-
dren who desired to kiss him were per-
mitted to do so; that he saluted a few
him; that, on seeing this, a large num-
Der of bold women did press upon him
and seek to salute him with their lips;
that he resisted to the full extent that
he could without being ungentlemanly
and rude, or making a scene; that he
himself arranged so that there could be
no repetition of such attempts at Den
yer.
Mayor Phelan of San Francisco has
published a column statement in behalf
Of the Lieutenant. in which he exoner-
ates him from impropriety, and charges
that whatever Of immodesty there has
been was due to the bold persistence OF
certain women in public assemblies, who
placed the young man in a most delicate
and inextricable position, from which
he could not escape without gross rude
ness, or creating a scene.
Hobson denies that he kissed and
hugged women in these public assem-
blies, and, according to all who talked
with him on the subject in San Fran
cisco, he manifested the bearing and
thought of a refined young man who
would not be guilty of the improprie-
ties charged against him by thoughtless
or sensational reporters.
The probabilities are that Hobson has
been grossly lied about. He so asserts
and there is no reason for discrediting
his emphatic and feeling denial. He is
man of very youthful appearance
and this led lot of impressionable anc
inmodest women-some moved by ex-
cess of emotional patriotic fervor-te
conduct themselves toward him as they
lOWd4Q q DOys mus DtOdSAl AZ
his name into reproach and caused him
intense modification.
We are impressed with the truth oj
the Lieutenant's denial, and are dis
posed to discredit the sensational re-
ports which preceded him. Sensation
alism has achieved temporary tri.
unph, and a worthy young man has
been humiliated and wounded in every
gentlemanly instinct. to crafty the
| taste of sensation mongers; or he ha:
been made the victim of their gross ano
purposefully mendacious reports.
The Associated Press managers ought
to investigate the sources of informa-
ton from which that body draws it:
news, and ascertain how it comes thai
it is made the vehicle Of wrong and
misrepresentation.

There are at this time 100000 cases
Of la grippe in New York City, and the
Board of Health believes that a start
hngly large percentage Of the patients
will die of the epidemic. Yet there has
been no intense excitement in the coun-
try because of such terrible threat
of death from a single disease in a
single locality. If, now, there We're
100000 cases of smallpox or yellow
fever in New York, or even 5000 cases
of either, the whole nation would be
startled and the press would be over
flowing with matter upon the subject.
It is probable that there will be more
deaths from la grippe in New York
than there would be from smallpox,
were there as many cases Of the latter
disease in the city as are now report
ed Of the former. All of which goes
TO show that our fears and alarms are
more largely the result Of sentiment,
or the outgrowth of our educational
superstitions and prejudices than the
conclusions of calm reason.

NEARLY S5O,O00 SUBSCRIBED
A HOUSING MASS-MEETING AT
 GOLDEN GATE.

. The people of the pretty village of Golden Gate and the people of Oakland have backed their faith in the promise of the Realty Syndicate to establish a competing ferry service with good. hard cash.
 at Klinkner's Hall, Golden Gate, last evening and representative citizens of that town and of Emeryville came to- gether and discussed with the representa- tives of the syndicate the ways and means of the proposition.
 F. W. Beardslee, for the syndicate, told them that the minimum estimate of the cost of the ferry service to be built between San Francisco and Berkeley was s1, 500 900, and that of this amount the syndicate purposed borrowing S250,000 for five years at per cent interest.
 MT. Beardslee said his say in few words, but the response was spontaneous and 1m- mediate.
 It was voice from the audience, and the burden of it was Put me down for S500, with more when its needed" That started things and 1t didn't take the peo- pie of North Oakland long to demon strate that there was no loud noise needed to waken them. With the amount sub scribed last night the total money prom ised during the past week totals nearly $50 900.
 in with the business of the meeting.
 J. Rouke one of Golden Gates fore most men, said: 'I have investigated this natter thoroughly during the last two weeks, and all that l can subscribe l shall subscribe, for I am satisfied that the Syndicate proposes to make good its promise. l am going to subscribe and 1t will help every one of you to do so, for the moment that the first rock is thrown into the bay for the new mole your prop erty here. will go up in value high enough to pay 1t back to you. The Syndicate only asks Oakland for one-flfth of what this will cost, but almost every dollar. of that one-fifth means friend and a patron for the ferry.
 Just put me down for $500. now and later we will talk business again"
 Others followed MT. Rouke both with argument and with cash, and both spoke loudly, for Golden Gates population Is made up of cool-headed business men, who do not spend money out of sentt- ment.
 At the close of the meeting those who were present decided to organize perma- nently as an improvement society, so that by the power of their organization they shall be better able to demand priv ileges of the county and city govern ments and do concerted work in further ing the ends of the new ferry that means so much to them.
 They will meet again next Monday evening.
