During the year 1905 2,4gO persons
were convicted, as against s,467 for
the year 1904, and a small increase
over other previous years. New York

2,4GSO46, an increase of S5O,8S6in four
years, or yearly average increase Of

Complaint Bureau, established by Mr..
Jerome to inquire into the wrongs Of
poor, ignorant persons who declared
they had been defrauded. $500 com.
plants were received, making a to.
tai of $500.
Theft would seem to be the crime
most prevalent in the community, and
the next in order is assault. OF the
5000 persons accused OF various
crimes in the last year 1924 were
charged with grand larceny in one of
It's degrees, 7SS Of burglary. which has
three degrees, and 4O5 Of petitlarceny.

146 wore convicted after trial, or
the persons accused Of burglary in Its
various degrees s66 pleaded guilty ard
% were convicted. There were s6s
who admitted petit larceny and Il
who we're convicted. On charges Of
assault 1853 pleaded guilty and &C were

The recent trobules in Cuba
and the rebellion in Atlanta, Ca,
has caused much excitement in
our country. The present mo
tiou of the United States in
sending diplomats to put down
the Instructions in Cuba and
meanwhile at the same time our
citizens are being prosecuted
without caution in this country,
this seems to be very perplex-
ing question. IL the laws of our
country cannot make the pro-
lection of its citizens absolute,
they should be repealed, and if
they cannot be repealed, they
should be enforced 1t is no
more than right tc protect the
Cuban peaple, but it should be
very jutificable and a greater
acknowledgement of a proper
manner in regard of the motto,
"help in time of need," that is to
attend to the colored man s pro-
tectlon IN his right to live and
enjoy freedom as other law-abi-
ding citizens We are all of the
opinion the legislative branch of
our government should attribute
more attention to the cruelty of
humanity and not SO much to
economics, meat inspection, etc.
1t has been said: "that it is the
brightness, not the darkness, we
see when we look back; therefore
wk fervently hope we will be
able to look back in the near fu
ture. Mamie Ardella Davis.
