.FEAG|N REPORTS
 FOR THE YEAR 1907 Many Recommendations in Let ter to Mayor and Council STATISTICS ON CRIME Urges Importance of Having Civic Code Taught in Schools, That
 Children May Know Pro-
 visions of Law.
STATISTICS ON CRIME

The establishment of detention home for wayward children, a trade school for boys and girls who are compelled to help the home in money-making, a night school for foreigners and working people, and the compilation of civic code to be taught in the public schools of Birmingham are suggested in the annual report of Judge Feagin for 1907. which was completed yesterday
 Judge Feagin dwells at some length on the discussion of the matter of teaching the civic code in the pu3lic schools here and earnestly recommends that steps in this direction be taken as 5on as fnan- cial conditions of the city make it prac- ticable. He offers his aid to the supern- tendent and the principals of the gram mar schools in compiling a civic code suitable to be used as a text book, and points to the fact that the laws bearing on health, morals and good government are the most important to be taught.
 During the year 1907 the cash collected through the police court amounted to $49,s92 90, and 1,67S arrests were made The convictions numbered 9347 There were 920 acquittals, while 11S0 cases were nolle pressed and 211 forfeitures of bond were recorded. Judge Feagin's report in detail follows:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-04-22


 For assault and battery, disorderly con- duct and gaming the number of arrests of negroes exceeds the whites and over one half as many more. For assault with in- weapons the negroes are more than double that of the whites. while fugitives from justice are over three times. For offenses involving moral turpitude, larceny, adul- tery and false weights and measures, the negroes are about three times that of whites, while for the graver offenses of burglary and grand larceny they are more than fire times that of whites.
 Be it said to the negroes credit that for drunkenness and begging the whites are more than double that of the negroes. The reason for this is clear. There have been drunlSards and beggars in the white race from the time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Not so with the negro. Even since he was brought to America in the south he was prohibited by law from drinking intoxi- cants. His taste for liquor is not inher- tied. Remove the temptation and the white mans bad example and he is more at himself and more willing to work.
 It will be seen that there were 594 ar rests made for vagrancy Of these 356 were negroes and 23S whites. When you consider the large scope of offenses that are classed under vagrancy you will read fly see that a great number of these ar rests come from the red light district.
