CHIEF WEIR HAS
 FINISHED REPORT
WILL BE PRESENTED TO POLICE COMMISSION AT ANNUAL MEET ING NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT. MAKES EXCELLENT SHOWING.

Chief of Police Wier has completed his hnnual report of the department and it will be presented to the police commis- sion at the regular monthly meeting, which will be the annual meeting, Tues day night. The figures of the report are not obtainable, but it is generally under stood that they are very encouraging and show great improvement and ef- ficiency In the police force.
 Among other things, it Is said that the report shows a decrease in the number of arrests from last year and the pre- Rious year. The arrests for the year ending May l, were only about 10000, as against nearly 11,5OO for the previous year.
 2 The percentage of convictions Is also largely in excess of previous years, and This is generally taken to mean that the policemen made much fewer useless ar rests. Of the number of arrests made D larger percentage were for felonies, as more felons have been arrested and con- Nicted than ever before.
 Another decided improvement shown Is In the fact much greater amount of stolen propert-- hoe Nee- ~~eevered. The amount of st covered by the departmen 5000 in ex- cess of the a overed be- fore by the d year.
 Thelrevenues ant are also much largr u and 1t is probable that been taken In this year Il This, when the fact of the 1ewer arrests, Is taken Into consideration, is very flattering.
 Chief Wier, 1t is said, refers to the aid extended him by the mayor and board of aldermen in giving him more horses for the patrol wagons. an addition of ten men on the force, more wheels for the mounted men, thus enabling them to bet ter patrol the residence portions of the city, and also the telephone system which has been installed and which will be ir operation in few days.
 It Is said that Chief Wfer recommends that the police commission ask for if teen additional men to patrol the resi-. .uence sections of the city, where nor, policemen are badly neeGed He make. other recommendations which 1t is sait would greatly increase the efficiency oi the department were they mace
 At the meeting Tuesday night the an nual election of officers and patrolmer will be held. Neither Chief Wier or Cap tain Johnston will have 70 be elected but officers will have to be erected to the positions of night captain and lieutenant now filled respectively by Lieutenant Hagood and Lieutenant Eagan.
 Desk Sergeant Tom Shirley will be re- elected, so 1t is thought, and it is prob able some one will be elected to fill the place of Desk Sergeant Eugene Cham bers. who will probably tender his resig- nation at this meeting. No candidates have been announced for the position. of Sergeant Chambers
 There are fifty-seven patrolmen to be elected and six supernumerarles.
