CRIMINAL CALENDAR Is
CLEARED UP TO DATE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY FREDER-
IcKS MAKES A RECORD
For the First Time In Several Years
the office Force Is Abreast of Its
Work and Considering Only Cur
rent Cases

The superior court criminal calendar
has been cleared and brought up to
date by District Attorney Fredericks,
and he has thereby established a rec
ord of which he and his constituents
are justly proud.
The record consists in the fact that
this is the first time in many years
that such a desirable condition has ex-
listed, and in making it the district at
torney has made good his promises
given when he asked for additional
help in his office.
Heretofore the calendar has been so
crowded with cases, and the number of
deputies so few, that 1t was impossible
to give each case the attention neces-
sary to successful prosecution. Since
the increase in his force was made, the
district attorney has introduced a sys-
tenn in handling cases which permits
a proper consideration of each before
trial day, and when it is taken up there
is nothing left undone that is re-
quired for successfully prosecuting or
otherwise disposing of the case with
out delay.

profit to the base ball element at the
Jamaica race track yesterday when Clark

victory, but the bets were down and big
dividends were paid last night by Frank
Farrell the sums intrusted to his care
and bet with his own big wager on Clark
Griffith.
You would not name a bad horse after
me, would you?" Griffith asked Farrell
when the colt was named. The team man

announced to start yesterday and got 1t in
answer to his question, rs he real good
