offense; thus, in Harrisburg, Pa, less
than one-f1fth of one per cent Of the
| arrests were on the ground of drunk
enness. while 66.5 per cent were on
the ground of disorderly conduct
1t is shown in a table that the per
| capita cost of police protection in the
cities Of group I for 1907 was nearly
double the cost Of police protection in
cities of any other group. AS a COR
ollary to this fact another table
shows that more than rwo-thirds of
all the employees of the police depart
ments of the 158 cities considered were
reported from the cities of group l.,
and nearly one-fourth of the entire
number from the city of New York.
Where Police Forces Are Small.
forces were Milwaukee, Wis. and New
Orleans, La. in group 1; Scranton, Pa;
and st. Joseph, Mo-, in group II; Uti-
ca, N. Y. and Brockton, Mass, in
group III, and Lincoln, Neb., Pas
sale, N j., and South Omaha, Nebr.,
in group w.
A city with an especially large po-
lice force was Washington, D. G.
Nearly three-fourths of all em.
ployees Of police departments We're pa
trolmen of whom 500 per cent were
on beats, four per cent on posts. and
154 per cent detailed upon special du-
ties The number of mounted patrol
men was only So per cent of the to-
tai number on beats, more than two
thirds of whom were mounted on
horses. A relatively large number OF
having from 10000 to 100000 inhabi-
tants were in cities of the southern
states, while more than one-half of the
bicycle policemen were reported from
the four cities of New York N. Y,
Philadelphia Pa, Washington, d. c.,
and Atlanta Ga. In comparison with
similar statistics for 1905 the proper
ton of patrolmen mounted shows
moderate increase. Most of the patrol
men ION posts''-that is, on street du-
ty, such as crossing and traffic duty,
but not patrolling beat-were report
ed from cities of group I.
OF the patrolmen detailed on special
duties. such as sanitary, park, and de-
tective duty. more than three-fourths
were located in cities of the first group
and of all the other employees besides
patrolmen more than tWo-thirds were
in the cities of the same group.
These facts are, the bulletin states,
indicative of a greater division of Ia
Dor in the police forces of the larger
cities. The services performed by
many of these employees. moreover,
are incidental to large cities and to
large forces of police and are not
strictly connected with the protection
Of life and property from lawbreaBers.
PAYMENTS to such employees increase
the per capita cost of police protection
n large cities and in a large measure
represent the difference in per capita
cost of police protection between the
cities of group and those of the other
groups

WASHINGTON, d. c., Des. go
important data on the subject of ar
rests of lawbreakers and the sizes of
police forces is contained in u. S. Cen
sus Bulletin 105, which Census Direc-
tor Durand is about to submit to Sec
rotary Nagel of the department of
stract of the annual report on the sta
tistics of cities having an estimated
population of over 10000 In 1907, and
it was prepared by Mr. E. HI. Mailing,
division chief under the supervision
of DR.. LIE Grand Powers, chief statis-
tician in charge of official statistics of
cities.
There were 15S of these cities, and
in the tables of the bulletin they are
presented in four groups. Group con-
tains cities of over 100000 population:
group II, 100000 to 100000; group III,
so, 600 to 100000 and group ", cities
of 10000 to $4,000.
Those in grou l. ranked according
to estimated population, are New York
city, Chicago, Philadelphia, ST. LOUIS,
Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cleve-
land, Buffalo, San Francisco, Detroit,
Cincinnati, Milwaukee, New Orleans,
and Washington, D. c.
Under the head of arrests, classified
by offenses, it is shown that the
number of arrests in the 15S cities for
the fiscal year 1907 was 1,369,361, or
1924 arrests to every 10000 inhabi-
tants The number of arrests
per 10000 inhabitants in cities
of group was 5526; in cities of group
II. $3.50; of group Ill, $500; and Of
group ", 71G9.
Washington Heads the List.
In the citnes of group l, Washing
ton d. c., ranked first in the number
of arrests in proportion to population
The total number of arrests in that
city was more than four times the
number shown for the larger city of
Milwaukee, Wis, and approximately
three times the number shown for the
still larger city of Detroit. Mich The
total number OF arrests, however, is
no indication of the laWlessness of a
city's population; it is, rather, a re-
Election of varying local laws and
conditions and of the activity of the
police department.
In classifying arrests by offenSes,
the bulletin states. it is impossible to
secure absolute uniformity because or
the dissimilarity of laws, and also be-
cause the same offense is punished UNI
der different names in different cities.
The various classes Of offenses against
property and against the person. with
the exception of assaults, are fairly
comparable for the different cities, but
arrests for such offenses formed less
than 10 per cent of the total
nominated "off.nse against society
comprise SAT per cent of the total
number of arrests for 1907.
Arrests for the specific offense or
drunkness formed 35.2 per cent of the
total, but in many cities the charge Of
disorderly conduct covered the same
