TACTICS CHANGED.
Police Arrested But One Jointist Dur
ing Month of May.

There were fewer arrests made by the
police department for the month of May
on the charge of selling intoxicating
liquors than for any time since the
present administration took charge,
which was February, 1897.
There was but one arrest of a jointist
during the month. Heretofore jointists
have willingly submitted to technical
arrests, when they were allowed to de-
posit 500 as security and let it be for
feited.
Another source of revenue which the
police department has neglected to col
lect for the month was that from the
disorderly houses. Usually at least
three and sometimes five of these places
paid the regular license fine of $25 and
each inmate gave so. But this past
month not single disorderly house was
''raided," and there were only a few ar
rests on the charge of disorderly con-
duct. The police arrested 13 little run
away boys during the month. They
also took in SO drunk men. The follow
ing is a list of the 1873 arrests for the
month as shown by the police docket:
Riding bicycles on sidewalk ....... 81
DfunKS .-.....-----.-..-.-. 81
Disturbances of the peace. 21
Trespassing on R. r. property...... 10
Runaway boys Observation-Disclosures. 13

Committing nuisance. 2
Lettering on street. Observation-Disclosures. .
L 90 urANlnS.
There was one arrest each on the
charge of selling liquor, jumping on
moving trains, riding bicycle without
bell, leaving team not hitched. escaped
prisoner, insanity, street walking and
resisting an officer, drunk and begging,
grand larceny, discharging firearms, de-
Stroy1ng city property, drunk and COM
mitting nuisance, disturbance of the
peace and resisting an officer, disturb
ing the peace by discharging firearms,
disturbing the peace and carrying con-
cea1ed weapons. There We're four arrests
on the charge of drunk and disturbing
the peace, and two arrests for drunk
and carrying concealed weapons.
The amount which the police depart
ment will turn over to the city treas
urer for the month of May will be very
much smaller than usual, The council
ordinarily has but a few hundred dol
lars to pay each month above the
of police officers and Incidental police
expenses, but this month it will be
much heavier.
1t is said by those in a position to
know that those who manage police af-
fairs wish to make this showing so that
the taxpayers will see that a license fine
system for joints and disorderly houses
is benefit to the taxpaying public in
reducing the amount of money needed |
for maintaining the police department
The fact that but one arrest was made
for selling liquor does not show that no |
joints We're running in the city during !
the month of May. The provost guard |
from Camp Leedy could testify to this.
