The Basket Picnic.

Last Saturday was a lively day at
Plymouth, the basket picnic given
jointly by the Native Daughters and
ladies of the Catholic church meeting
with more than ordinary success. In
the morning procession was formed
and marched out to the picnic ground,
which is an excellent location, headed
by the Preston School Band.
After the literary exercises in the
morning and lunch had been had, the
sports of the day commenced, the chief
feature being the game of baseball
between the Amador City and Jackson
mines. 1t is said to have been the
poorest game ever played in this
county. At any rate the jackson club
met with an overwhelming defeat.
This is what comes of not practicing.
The result Of this game causes consid
cradle comment on tho game to be
played between the same teams at the
Italian picnic.
A dance was given in the evening
aud was thoroughly enjoyed by par

POLICE or VARIOUS PLACES.
Their Numerical Strength and Cost.
The Test of Efficiency.

There are 6,400 New York policemen,
a larger number than the force Of any
other city in the country. says the Sun,
and larger number by several hun
dred than the various divisions of the
Greater New York had collectively be-
fore consolidation. There are $500 po-
licemen in the city of Paris. the pro-
portion of police to inhabitants being
larger than it is in the city of London.
There are 10000 policemen in Great
Britain. OF these. England has 4l,232,
Scotland, 4,744 Ireland, H. 1863; Wales,
1,2S3; the Isle of Man, 81. Liverpool
has 1895; Glasgow, 1920; Dublin, 1,2G5,
and Manchester, 1,02S.
The number of policemen in the city
of London in 16,4i3 according to the
last official report, but the police dis
trict of London includes a large
amount of outlying rural and subur-
ban territory with a population of Lon
don proper which is 100000. The Lon
don police district covers an area II
miles by Is, with 1000 miles of streets
or roads and the duty of patrolling
these accounts very largely for the ex-
tensive membership of the force when
compared with that of most American
cities.
Chicago has $3.50 policemen and the
average number of arrests In year
amounts to $4,000, though during the
period of the Worlds Fair it was con-
siderably higher. Boston has 1900 po'
licemen; Baltimore, 900; ST. Louis.
LOO; Philadelphia, $500; Cincinnati.
600; Cleveland, $50; Detroit, $50; Wash
ington, 600; San Francisco, 300; Pitts
burg, 500 and New Orleans, 800.
Among foreign cities Paris stands
first in the number of policemen COM
pared with the population; and Paler'
mo, italy, stands lowest with tho
smallest and least expensive police
force. Capital cities, as rule, require
more police protection than other cit
les even of a larger population, for as
the number of transients in a city in
creases, the demand for police service
advances and the expenses of MAIN
tenance increase correspondingly. Tho
test of efficiency in a police department
is not the number of men engaged, but
their capacity for making arrests Of
the right persons at the right time, and
under conditions which will be most
favorable to their discharge if innocent
or their conviction if guilty. A recent
report Of the Chicago Chief of Police
showed the number of arrests in that
city for the crime of homicide to have
been 1876 within the period covered. OF
those arrested, were executed, 20 were
sentenced to tGIlns Of lmRrlSonAenN'

In New York the number of arrests
in year for felony amounts to about
1000 by the detective bureau, and the
number of convictions from such ar
rests is about 400 The number of ar
rests for homicide in year-homicida
OF murder--.is about 400, and the pro-
portion of convictions is ouch larger
than it is in the city of Chicago, which
cxpends for its Police Department in
year about one-third of the sum pald
by New York.
The expense Of the Philadelphia Po-
lice Department is 100000 year, and
the expense of the Boston Police Dc
partment is 81 800 600 or one-half the

INTERURBAN FRANCHISES.
The Board of Works to Consider It.
Municipal Affairs.

The franchise to be granted the inter-
urban electric companies will be amended
by the Board of Works this week and re-
turned to the City Council at the next
meeting of that body Monday night. The
conference between the board and commit
tee on contracts and franchises on Monday
evening was held for the board to ascer-
tain the reason why the committee recon-
mended changes in the franchise. 1t is
quite likely the franchise will be further
ammended according to the views of Hugh
j. MCGOWAN, of the indianapolis Street
railway Company, to provide for a straight
5 cent fare for local passengers riding on
interurban cars and no transfers. Chair
man Sahm, of the Board of Works. said
yesterday that the board had not con-
sidered the proposed amendments, but
would do so this week. He stated that
the amendment providing for a 5 cent fare
would be fully considered, as it means a
great deal to the city and to the COM
panies. The board will probably go on
the theory that 1t is possible for the in
Ierurban companies to be consolidated with
the Indianapolis Street-railway Company
within a few years, and then the In
dianapolis company might announce that
II will do business under the franchise
granted the interurban companies, and
charge 5 cent fares. The board will prob
ably insert a clause in the franchise which
will provide against such an emergency.
