Arrests for Drunkenness.

You will notice certain facts from the
above table. The population OF Glasgow
SOC, 500 in 1907. The number Of saloons
had been gradually decreasing. so that
there are now .631 saloons for popu-
lation Of 100000. an average of one sa-
loon to 49o persons, whereas there were
1871 saloons. and an average Of one sa-
loon to 1lo persons twenty years ago
1T Is much more difficult to get a
license now than IL used to be" said
Mr.. Stevenson. land when one is for
feited 1t is seldom renewed. The varia-
ton in the number OF arrests for
drunkenness year by year is difficult TO
explain. The only theory I have is that
II is due to the increase and decrease OF
wages-the more wages the more drunk
enness. The more money a workman
has the more he will spend for liquor.
And il is an actual fact that the high
est number Of arrests In the table cor
respond with our most prosperous
years.
Result Of Probation System.
The police on the street and the char
ity agents say that most Of the drunks
are Irish and most of the poverty is
among the Irish laborers. but Mr..
Stevenson refuses To express an opinion
on that point.
II never consider race or religion" he
replied. but he admitted that the great
proportion Of the persons arrested were
common laborers. and that most OF the
common labor was Irish.
We have a great deal OF floating
labor here" he explained. land most OF
1T comes from Ireland. There are few
professional criminals in Scotland. Last
year there were only four arrests for
murder. and only two convictions. The
largest number Of arrests in 1907 were
for crimes committed against property
without violence.
"A few years ago a system Of proba-
ton was adopted by the police courts.

for Decrease in Exports.

Special Correspondence Of Tho Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.
GLASGOW, October 1.-Industrial con-
ditions in Scotland are in deplorab.e
state, and il IS attributed directly to the
panic I'm New York last fall. which seems
to have been felt around the world. Work
Is everywhere slack, and many factories
and mills are closed down entirely. Now
that the harvests are in, farm hands are
being discharged. and are naturally DRIFT
ing to the cities under the mistaken i'm
preston that they can live more cheaply
there and have better chance of earn
ing something than in the rural districts.
This situation Is not confined to one To-
cality. but extends throughout the entire
kingdom, and to the continent OF Europe.
Enormous Decrease in Exports.
The latest financial statement issued by
the British government shows decrease
of nearly $4G0. 100000 in the foreign trade
for the first nine months of the present
calendar year. The decrease in Imports
has been more than $50, 1000 600. mostly in
raw materials, cotton, iron ana STEEL
wood and timber and various other ar
ticles usually imported for the use of the
factories that are closed down. The de-
crease In exports is seen in almost every
item Of merchandise that is shipped out
of the British Isles-cotton and wooden
textiles. boots and shoes and other wear
ing apparel iron and steel. cutlery and
hardware, machinery and tools, electrical
supplies. chemicals. drugs. dyes, crockery.
glass. coal and everything else you can
think of.

Sixty Thousand People Suffer.

The local newspapers assert that there
were never so many men out of employ
ment. not even during the dark period
that followed a number of bank failures
In 1873 and the applications for relief
have only been exceeded during the cot
ton famine of; 1852 and the time of the
failure Of the weaving industry in 1S47.
1t is estimated that 5000 people are out
of employment-the number was placed
at 5000 when I was here iast month-and
this Is believed to affect at least $1,000
people. The distress cOmuittee. or relief
committee. as We would call it, has never
had SO many applications for food.
The situation Is aggravated by a group
OF socialist agitators who are holding
daily meetings and making inf1ammatory
speeches against capital and the corpora
tons to convince the hungry laborers
their situation is due to the selfish greed
Of the rich. and the best remedy is the
use of force to compel them to disgorge
their mserly accommodations and distribute
them among those who need the money

Trouble Traced to New York.

They trace the trouble to the panic in
New York last fall. which para!yzed the
American market and arrested the de-
mand for foreign goods in the United
States. This stopped foreign orders. de-
prived the ships of their usual cargoes,
and compelled manufacturers in every
line of business either to suspend or cur
tall their operations. Few people realize
how rapidly the United States is becoming
the center of trade. and how far the
slightest disturbance in our commercial
conditions affects the rest Of the world
Glasgow. being the industrial capital Of
Scotland. is merely seriously affected than
any other part of the kingdom. and the
conditions here are said to be worse than
they have ever been before at this time
of the year. And naturally they cannot
improve, but must grow worse as the cold

DOUGLAS SOCIETY.

The Home Missionary society and the Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church held a joint meeting at the home of Mrs. c. H. DoweI, Fifth and D, on Thursday afternoon. It was a purely business meeting and several matters of importance to both organ izations were taken up for considera- ton.
 On Friday afternoon Mrs. Ben Rice was hostess to a most delightful gath ering of ladies at her home, corner of Thirteenth and E. A very inter esting guessing game had been pre- pared by Mrs. Rice in the form of a story with many blank spaces left, which, when filled in, should contain the names of well known people in Douglas. This caused mucn merri- ment and the exercise of a good deal of gray matter. Mrs. c. D. Parsons was the most successful in the guess ing and won a beautiful china bon bon dish, while Mrs. Fisher won the consolation. Delicious refreshments were served consisting of sandwiches, cake and fruit punch. Those present were: Mesdames ". D. Eastman, R. Baltzley, Mustaine, Fisher, Peschke, James East, H. B. Rice, l.. Kyle, b O. Hassler, D. W. Pollard, James Yes try, billiard, c. D. Parsons, M. c. Tad lock, Pratt, A c. Lockwood, W. R. Gabriel, F. W. Thompson, w. c. Hof CT, Watson, Mrs. SchelI from Tucson.
