Chain Gang Expenses.

In our local columns today We com,
ment OF the increase in fines colleG:eu -
by the various Mayors in the romeo
Court during the past twenty-five years.
There has also been an increase IN cnaln
Gang expenses during the same years
The exnenses vary in the one case as In
the other during terms OF the seyeral IN
cumbents. Taking each in order as to
time the yearly average expense of
maintaining the chain gang was as fol-
lows: Johnson, $500; Kemper, $5Ol
smith. 1852; Beckham, 1855; Smoot,
$7O4; Downham, s701; Strauss, 81, 1874 ;
Thompson, 81, 596; Simpson, 1913.
During the terms of the late Mayor
Smoot and ex-Mayor Downham, the
fines collected and chain gang expenses
we're within a few dollars of each other.
While the chain gang expenses were
more by $500 during Mayor Thompson
term than during those of Smeot and
Downham, yet fines collected under the
former were $795 greater than those OF
the two last named. This comparison
applied to ex-Mayor Strauss and Mayor
Simpson is as follows: The expenses OF
the chain gang under the latter averaged
$4OS less per year, but the fines collected
by the former averaged $495 more. If
we charge, or place as an offset, chain
gang expenses against fines and divide
the last eighteen years in three parts the
following would be the result: June /,
1885 to May 81, 1891, net receipts from
fines IS, sos; average per year, 9l7.5O;
June l, 1891 to Hay 81, 1897, net re-
ceipts from fines, SS,613; average per
year, Il, 435. so; June l, 1897, to May
81, 1903, net receipts from fines, $lO,-
l49 average per year, 81, 69l.5O. An
other comparison is interesting. The
largest collections by ex-Mayor Strauss
amounted to Sc, 646 from fines for two
years, like period by Mayor Simpson,
IS. 100. the smallest amount for chain
gang expenses for two years Strauss,
81, 1888 Simpson, 81, 00l-Strauss aver
age 81, 456. so; Simpson 81, SAT. so net
receipts. Ex-Mayor Strauss served four
wears. The fines collected in the Police
Court exceeded the chain gang expenses
during that period by 81, 1872 or an
average of 81, 1888 yearly, which is the
highest.

Accident in Southern Railway Yard

While freight cars were being shipped
in the Southern Railway yard last night
two box cars and a gondola jumped the
track while running on the south side of
the new carpenters shop in the square
bounded by Wolfe, Wilkes, Henry and
Fayette streets. The box cars were
placed on end and considerably damag-
ed, while the gondOla was smashed. The
roof of the southwestern portion OF the
carpenters shop was seriously damaged.
Fortunately no one was hurt. The ac-
cident was a peculiar one and the cars
standing on end were suggestive of a
Nstack arms" The fact that the entire
western portion of the carpenters shop
was not carried away seems marvellous.

The case of parties charged with dis
orderly conduct in a house on Franklin
street last Sunday evening came before

time when the Southern Railway Com

yard facilities at Alexandria. 1t is and
has been for some time one of the most

At meeting of Southeastern Rail

the heads of the Land, Industrial and
Immigration Departments Is of the rail-
ways south of the Potomac and Ohio
Rivers, and east of the Mississippi
river. held at Miami, Florida, March
6, 1908, the following resolution was
adopted:
"Resolved, That approaching the
"great value that an exhibition of the
"products Of the several States within
"the territory of this Association at
"the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
Ito be held at st. Louis, in 1904, would
"be in inducing immigration to those
estates, we would earnestly urge upon
"the people Of those States the impor-
"tance of early and active effort to Sc
"cure such exhibition by legislative
appropriation, and would suggest
"that such effort be made through
"Boards of Trade and other local or
examinations. In this effort we pledge
"our earnest support and cooperation.
The objects of this Association, and
all the efforts of its members, being to
develop and build up the States within
our territory by increase of population
and industrial enterprise, we especially
realize how much good can be accom-
plished in this direction by an exhibi-
ton Of the projects of the several
States at the st. Louis Exposition,
IL off hn 70 O
attention of hundreds of thousands Of
people of the populous Northern States
from which we must hope to secure
immigration. It is for this reason that
we urge upon the people of the several
States within our territory, who should
be equally interested with us in our
work, the Importance of taking active
and immediate steps toward creating a
popular sentiment that will demand Of
the Legislatures of the several States
that they shall make sufficient appro-
priation to defray the expense of MAX
ing such exhibits as will reflect credit
upon the States making them. All
classes of citizens should be interested
in this movement, for it is for the ben
eft of all, and we would suggest that
action be taken through Boards OF
Trade, Chambers of Commerce, City
Councils, County Commissioners,
Farmers Clubs, State and County Ag-
ricultural and Horticultural Societies,
and other organizations representing
the people. The time is short in which
to make preparation work should be-
gin Immediately and be continued un-
til the object is achieved.
