IN SEPTEMBER
MONTHLY REPORT OF THE MONT
 GOMERY POLICE.
Number of Prisoners Was 300 and Col lectiOns Amounted to e8471O- Interesting statistics Concern
 ing Vi0latOrs of Law.

The report of the Montgomery Police Department of its operations during September, as completed yesterday py Desk Sergeant Gladden. Harrison. shows that during the month 309 arrests were made and $847.10 was collected rom all sources and turned over into the city treasury.
 Sergeant Harrison who Is one Of the most capable clerical men in Montgom- cry, is busily engaged In preparing the yearly report of the Department for submission to the City Council at its annual meeting which will take place tw weeks hence.
 The financial statement for Septem- Der as shown by the report completed yesterday Is as follows: Collected from fines in Recorders Court, $744; collect ed on back fines, $64.5o; city pound, $5; hauling dead stock, s3: from w. A. Henderso on for hire of city prisoners, $30. 50; total, $84710.
 Of the 309 persons arrested during September. s1 were white and 21S were negroes These were divided into SS white males, white females, 17O negro males and 4S negro females.
 Three hundred and four persons taken into custody were natives of this coun- try; three were from Ireland. one from Germany and one from England.
 The ages of September offenders of the law were as follows: From 10 to 20 years, 56: from 20 to 30 years. 51; from 30 to 40 years, 51; from 40 to 50 years, 30; from 50 to SO years, 15; from 60 to 80 years, 5. Thus it will be seen that the younger people still continue in popular favor at police headquarters.
 The report shows. too, that Saturday continues to be the prime day for vio- lating the law in Montgomery. This is due to the increased number of ne- gro visitors on the last business day of the week The number of arrests dur ing the month kept by days were as follows: Sunday, 33; Monday. 40; Tues day, 43 Wednesday. A; Thursday, 33; Friday, 49; Saturday, 67
 The day force arrested 137 of the of lenders and the night force deprived the remaining 172 of their liberty.
 Disorderly conduct was the principal charge against -he arrested persons and more laborers were docketed dur ing the months than of other occupa- tions. Among the charges preferred during the month were: Assault and battery, 30; suspicious, 34; disorderly conduct, 140; vagrants. 15; embezZle- ment, &; lettering. 9; violating sanitary ordinance, 6: violating sidewalk ordi- nance, 2; carrying concealed weapons. 8; gaming, 5; larceny, IS; careless driv- ing, 4; murder. l. resisting officer. 8; re-

 Through the working together of the influences affecting the negroes, the rate increase. so that there will come a time and that not very far distant, when the latter will exceed the former, and the race will rapidly decrease, the race problem cease to be problem, and then will come extinction.

The deficit in the national treasury
for the fiscal year just closed amount
ed to about s24 900, 900. OF this deficit
lve-sixths was caused by increased
expenditures in the army and navy
departments. Imperialism comes high.
The deficit would have been q grea,
deal larger If Secretary Shaw had moi
in the latter part OF the year made 8
determined effort to reduce expenses
not in the war and navy departments
but in the item of civil aud miscellane
Gus matters, including Internal i'm
provements. Speaking of this matter
the Commercial West says:
"The chances are that, outside of 8
few contractors on the Atlantic coas
and the professional clique in the ar
my and navy departments at Wash

would prefer to see the extra go, 600,
