ONE IN EVERY TWENTY
 ARRESTED IN NEW YORK
Police Handled 100000 Cases Last Year--Other Gossip of Metropolis.

nearly 200,O 900 persons were taken into
 custody by the police in New York last year. or one arrest for about every twenty persons in the metropolis. This
 was 22s500 more arrests than during
 the previous year. This big figure may
 mean that the metropolis is very wick ed or simply that Police Commissioner
 Bingham is holding down his job with
 both hands. It cost the city nearly
 $11. 50O,00O to maintain its police de- partment The number of males ar rested in proportion to females was about four to one. The percentage of natives of the United States was only B. Russians Gncluding Jews gave the police the most trouble and 21, ,O65 of them landed in quod. The Irish were next with 14,27S. Of the arrests 44.OS5 were for intoxicatiOn. The great num- Der of arrests for petty offences is in teresting in the light of a recent police i incident. Three poor Greek peddlers [ had been arrested in Bronx park charged with the awful crime of sell ing peanuts on Sunday The magis- trate, in discharging them. told the be- wildered Greeks that if they would only ] open pool-rOOm, or rob a bank. or make away with millions in insurance 1 funds. the police would never moIest them
 New York's remarkable summer tent colonies are now breaking up. During the season just drawing to a close some 5000 inhabitants of the metropolis have lived under canEas. Many campers have lived in the little colony under the Palisades of the Hudson. or on the beach at Staten Island. and about four hundred tents have clustered about the mouth of the Shrewsbury river. oppo- site Sandy Hook, but the largest camp ing colony, a veritable city of tents. has been maintained at Rockaway Beach. within the city limits Here more than a thousand tents have been maintained during the summer. and the little community has established a new phase of metropolitan life. The camp CTS have reduced housekeeping cares to the most primitive simplicity. On get ting up in the morning the inhabitants are within few steps of the ocean for morning plunge in the surf. They spend most of the day in their bathing clothes, leading a sort of semi-amphib- ious existence and men. women and children are as brown as Indians long before the season ends.
 The visit of Mayor Edward r. Dunne of Chicago, who came to New York last week to study the charter of the city
  desirious of securing for Chicago. is in teresting in that the mayor of the windy city reiterated his devotion to the idea Of municipal ownership. New York has not been impressed with the fact that the public utilities in Chicago have greatly benefited by a municipal ownership administration in that city, Mayor Dunne's remarks attracted all the more attention in that Mayor Me Clellan was soon to return to the city after making a careful study of munic- ipal ownership operation in some of the principal cities of Europe. Mayor Me CIellan does not agree with Mayor Dunne on the municipal ownership question and states from his personal observation that municipally owned public utilities in the cities abroad do not give service comparable to private ownership.
 Now that MT. Bryan has come and vanished into the west. New York has had the opportunity to think over the impression he made on that warm eve ming when letters of fire under the big gilded Diana on the dome of the Madi- 1 son Square Garden blazoned forth the mystic words: Bryan-M'ue Cham ! pagne.
 This insignium simply signified that
 
 trionic attraction on the roof garden. MT Bryan was holding forth in the great hall below. It is fact that the crowds that thrOnged to the Garden to hear MT. Bryan on this occasion were not nearly so great as when, ten years ! ago, heralded as the Boy Orator of the ! Platte he made his initial appearance | in New York. Then the throng over flowed far out into Madison Square. i while last week there was room for ! 5000 more persons in the Garden itself. 1 One the former occasion. however. MT. Bryan was a curiosity. and New York hOcked to see him just as it Hooked to | see Dowie or Prince Henry. A Boy Orator of the Platte was a new show. 1 But as a statesman. who has just tour ed the world. MT. Bryan furnished no ! for scores of New Yofkers | return from such trips every week. MT | Bryan's reception in the metropolis | was scarcely a New York reception. It | was engineered largely by men from other cities and strangers in town were In the majority at the Garden The big meeting caused no diminution in the theatre audiences or the Conev Is throngs of that evening.
 But New York aside from all polit- ical considerations. has a really warm fl place in its heart for MT. Bryan per Il sonally. The town admires his honesty Il and persistency. And it is very un- | usual for New York. with what has Il been called it's parochial snobbishness, Il to give any serious consideration to a II parsonage who halls from as far away II from the Hudson as the great Nebras- kan. In 1896 Father Knickerbocker re- garded Mr. Bryan as a political freak. Il but now he is much more "one of us" than Alton B. Parker ever was. That worthy gentleman, by the way, who ran for president only two years ago. has been effectually swallowed up in New York There was no mention of him in Ill the speeches at the Bryan reception md he was not present. though the eaders of democracy from all over the country were there. It looks indeed as f the Sage of Esopus had qualified for
