RECORD PULLED on MAYOR
One Hundred Prisoners fsrdoned BY
Dahlman from County Jail.
REASON WHY CRIMINALS ARE IN CITY
Facts and Figures without Political
Color Deal Knockout Blow
to Assaults on chief
DonRhue.

While the local democratic organ has
been charging Chief Donahue and the po-
lice force with dereliction for not driving
the criminal element out OF the city.
persons who are somewhat familiar with
the situation are pointing to the county
jail records as evidence OF the reason the
city has not been cleaned up. These rec
ords show that since he has been In office
Mayor Dahlman has psrdoned out of the
county Jail alone an even 100 petty orim-
insls sent there, after a hearing in court,
to serve sentences ranging from few
days up to ninety days. This record is un-
unprecedented, no other head of the city
ever having approached this number OF
psrdons I'm the same length of time.
Many of the prisoners who were par
doned by the mayor were sent up as
part of the efforts of the police depart
ment TO clean the city OF it's floating pop
ulation. In many instances they were re-
| leased by order of the mayor only a day
or two after their commitment. In most
OF the cases the pardon does not show who
recommended leniency. that portion of the
blank not being filled in.
As might be expected, the greater num-
Der of pardons was issued for so-called
vagrants 1t is usually under this head
that the floating population that loafs
/ around saloons in the lower district are
taken care of by the police. OF the loJ
pardons thirty-six were for vagrancy
cases; drunkenness comes next. with
twenty; the social evil. sixteen: disturbing
the peace. twelve; assault and battery. six
petit larceny, three. and a half dozen other
crimes. one each. This list does not in.
