Big REDUCTION IN
POLICE ARRESTS.
CHIEF OF POLICE WIER's ANNUAL
REPORT SHOWS SOME INTER.
EsTlNG FAeTs-WlLL ASK FOR
AN INCREASED FORCE.

Chief of Police W E. Wier yesterday
morning completed the outline of his an
,nual report for the fiscal year ending
May /.
The full report will be finished and
ready for submission to the police COM
mission when it meets next Tuesday.
A very material reduction in the num-
Der of arrests made is shown by the re-
port and the fact is pleasing to the chief
who has devoted considerable thought to
this feature of the work
To a reporter yesterday morning he
said:
THE report of this department for the
past fiscal year will show that nearly 1000
less arrests we're made than during the
previous fiscal year. Too many arrests
are made very often for the public good.
Good order without arrests is the thing
desired and ] am trying to bring about
this condition.
Some of the facts shown in the report
are as follows:
Stolen property recovered. slS,716.0.
Number of arrests made, 1882.
Number of arrests made during the pre-
vious year, I,04s.
Number bound over, 213.
Number bound over previous year, ia.
Fines, fees and stolen property. s45'-
1926
Amount of fines paid to clerk, S3, $500.
Number arrested for felonies, 502.
Chief Wier will urge before the police
commission the necessity of an increased
force of men Birmingham is growing and
demands an increased police protection,
it is claimed, and it is also desired by the
police officials to maintain three daily
shifts of patrolmen. This matter will also
be brought before the commission.

The oId-Time Parlor.

From the Manchester Union.
: The days of the "parlor' are fast going
There was once a time when every fami-
sly. no matter how poor, had it's parlor.
And generally the parlor was a most use
less place, but 1t was the pride of the
housewife. The Observant Citizen re-
members some time ago when the lady of
the house insisted that he should see
"her parlor" Her husband smiled good
naturally, and they both led the way to
"a big front room which was locked The
door was unlocked and the "parlor" got
Its first fresh air in months. The little
family had expended much money on the
"parlor." Everything was new but the
stuffed birds under glass cases. The de-
sign of the carpet was wonderful in that
1t consisted of bright red roses One felt
like stepping into a bed OF flames. A
horsehair sofa, very erect, was the prin-
seipal article of furniture while at the
windows were the stiffest lace curtains
YOU ever saw, The room had a musty
smell due to long-confned air. 1t was
luxury imprisoned on a small scale
and the finest example of the old-time
useless "parlor."

EARLY DAYS IN OHIO.
Indians in the Tuscarawas Valley Had
Appetizing Dishes.

From the Cleveland Leader.
According to John Hecsewelder. the
noted Moravian missionary, the Indians of
the Tuscarawas valley, when the first
white traders and teachers came among
them, found in that we'll favored land
eatables enough to make very appetite
ing bill of fare, on paper, at any rate.
Sometimes food became very scarce, and
the methods of preparing the materials
at hand may have detracted much from
its quality, in the estimation of white
men, but surely the Indians had a fair
variety of samples and relishes.
Heckewelder says that in the Tuscara-
was valley the food they depended up
on most was game, including such splen-
did creatures as the Virginia deer and
the wild turkey. Fish, Thea very abund-
ant in the Ohio streams, corn, potatoes,
beans, pumpkins, cucumbers, squashes,
melons, cabbages. fruits, nuts, very COM
mon in favorable seasons and berries
They occasionally ate the roots of the
plants found in the forests, although
it is not recorded that they appreciated
the mushrooms always common in Ohio.
1t seems that the Tuscarawas valley In
dams used to make a pottage of corn,
dry pumpkins, beans and chestnuts, with
fresh or dried meats, pounded or minced
and then sweeten the whole with maple
sugar or Slrup ana Doll IL thoroughly.
Another dish which they often made con-
sisted of pounded corn and chestnuts,
hickory nuts, all boiled together, the tops
of the pots being covered with large
leaves such as those of the pumpkin vine.
One of the favorite Indian preserves was
a concoction of cranberries and crabap-
pies, cooked with maple sirup.
What the Indians of eastern Ohio called
their warriors bread was simply parch-
ed corn, pounded into meal and sifted,
with maple sugar added. little of that

The Democratic Rooster.

From the London Mail.
Paris.-In a tall, glass-roofed building,
just OUTSIDE PARIS, nigh up on the top
floor, where the light Is good, strange
and interesting spectacle was witnessed
today.
The building belongs to the firm of Pathe
Bros, and the floor had been converted
into a very good imitation of an arena
where, for the benefit of the cinemato-
graph operator, a Christian captive" was
to be torn to piece to make "a Roman
holiday"
In the corner of the arena an overturned
chariot lay, while the cardboard horses
which had drawn 1t beat the air with
their hoofs In an Intellectual effort to re-
cover their equilibrium. A dead warrior
lay nearby, and helmets, swords and
other articles which had figured in the
deadly fray were scattered over the
ground.
On the imperial tribune Nero, with a
silver wreath encircling his brow. sat
among his favorites. When the operator
was ready to begin, three bareheaded and
barelegged slaves came on the scene
rolled away chariot wheel and carried
out the dead Roman. Then Nero raised
his hand, and Immediately a procession
of slaves and soldiers filed into the arena
The slaves were scantily alfred and

out of one of the soldiers pockets When
the procession had passed once around
the arena 1t drew ND in front of the i'm
perial tribune, and the slaves and the no.
BILE captives knelt before Nero. shouting
1--WE who are about to die salute thee"
Then two guards sprang forward seized
the captive, dragged him resisting. to the
stake In the center of the arena and Sc
curely bound hi to it. The cinemato-
graph stopped clicking
The captive was released and replaced
by dummy figure to which were at
tached several pieces of meat freshly
dipped in blood
Nero nodded once more. and Juliano, a
well known lion-tamer, clad like a glad
iator entered the arena He was quickly
followed by four live lions. which roamed
about the place In search of a victim.
Suddenly one of them sighted the
christian" bound to the stake. With a
growl the beast rushed upon him and
tore him limb from limb
All this time the cinematograph had
been working off its nlms. and in a very
short space of time realistic representa-
ton of the death of a Christian in the
arena had been secured.

PANIC AVERTED IN
VIENNA THEATRE
OPERA DIRECTOR oUlETs AUDI
ENcE BY PLAYING VIGOROUSLY
ON THE PlANo-MANY AMERl-
CANS WERE IN AUDIENCE.

Vienna, May 8-Near the end of the
first act of The Magic Flute at the
Imperial opera house tonight the electric
wires behind the stage became short-eir-
Quilted. A panic resulted but serious re-
suits were averted by Opera Director
Mailer. Some women in the audience per
ceived flashes of flames and cried Fire
whereupon the audience crowded toward
the doors
The actors efforts to calm the audience
were in vain, whereupon Director Mailer
proceeded to the piano and played it Wig
orously. The people were thus finally
quieted and the performance was con-
cluded before a half-filled house. There
were many foreigners including Ameri-
cans among the brilliant audience which
loudly cheered Director Mailer for his
action.
