Bonuses for Faithful EMPLOYEES.

New York, Dec 31.-The Wall
street employe was man to be en-
We'd today. In accordance with a
custom which is so old that none can
tell when it originated, the exchanges,
banks and brokerage firms closed the
year with the distribution of rewards
to faithful employees.
Some of the banks and trust COM
panies distributed the bonuses the
day before Christmas, but the big
majority of the firms adhere to the
custom of handing out fat envelopes
on the last day of the year, enclosing
at the same time a little card telling
the recipient the amount of his sal
airy for the coming year.
The year 1909 has been a prosper
Gus one in the street and as a con-
sequence the amounts given to en-
ployes were unusually large. One
firm, it is said, distributed $4,000
among its employees. None are over
looked by the Wall street Santa
Claus. The managers, of course, re-
ceive the largest amounts, but all
come in for proportionate share
even the messengers and scrub wo-
men.
Among the most liberal men to his
employees is j. Pierpont Morgan, who
never fails to hand fat envelop to
each of his clerical force Every man
and woman on the pay roll receives a
sum ranging according to length of
service from 10 to 20 per cent or his
or her annual salary.

STATISTICS OF ARRESTS.
Census Bureaus Conclusions Con-
corning Certain Large
Cities.

Washington, d. c., Dec 30.-Im-
portant data on the subject of ar
rests OF lawbreakers and the sizes
OF police forces is contained in Uni
ted State Census Bulletin 105, which
Census Director Durand is about to
submit to Secretary Nagel of the de-
partment of of commerce and labor.
II is an abstract of the annual re-
port on the statistics of cities hav-
ing an estimated population of over
10000 in 1907, and it was prepared
by F. H. Mailing, division chief, under
the supervision of DR.. lie Grand
Powers, chief statistician 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 | contains cities of over 800
900 population: Group II, 100000 to
800, 900; Group III, $4,000 to 1907
900; and Group ", cities of 10000
to $4,000.
Those in Group |, ranked according
to estimated population, are New
York City, Chicago, Philadelphia. ST.
Louis. Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburg,
| Cleveland, Buffalo. San Francisco,
| Detroit, Cincinnati, MilW aukee, New
| Orleans and Washington.
Under the head of arrests, CLASH
| fed by Offenses, it is shown that the
number of arrests in the 158 cities
for the fiscal year 1907 was 1869
361. or 1924 arrests to every 10000
inhabitants The number of arrests
per 10000 inhabitants in cities OF
Group l was 552.6; in cities of Group
| ii, 5895; of Group III, $50: and OF
Group w, 710.9.
Washington Heads the List.
In the cities of Group l, Washing
| ton, D. c., heads the list in the mum
per of arrests in proportion to popu-
lation The total number of arrests
in that city was more than four times
the number shown for the larger
city of Milwaukee, Wis, and approx
mately three times the number shown
for the still larger city of Detroit
Mich. The total number of arrests
| however, is no indication of the law
lessness of a citys population: it is
rather, reflection of varying local
laws and conditions and of the activ.
ity of the police department.
In classifying arrests by offenses
the bulletin states. it is impossible
to secure absolute uniformity be-
cause of the dissimilarity of laws
and also because the same offense

different cities. The various classes
of offenses against property AMI

ton of assaults" are fairly COM

rata, S. Anderson of Ellensburg, sue
cessor to w. F. McCue, has 5000 head
of sheep pastured and Hunter & AL
Ign approximately 5000. East of
them, in the same strip of territory,
Treaiwell & Gibson have several
thousand. The mild, open winter of
last season and the good prices for
wool have combined to put the sheep
industry on a prosperous basis.

PRESIDENT WILL
RECEIVE

Washington, Dec. 31-The presi-
dent and Mrs. Taft will hold their
first New Years reception at the
White House tomorrow, beginning at
II O'Clock, when the vice president
AND members of the cabinet will be
the first to extend their greetings to
the executive. They will be followed
by the members of the diplomatic
corps. the justices of the supreme
court of the United States, the dis
trict judiciary, and former members
of the cabinet, members of congress,
officers of the army, navy and marine
corps, various patriotic societies and,
last of all, "the plain people"
The custom of the president hold
ing public reception on New Years
day is so old that no patriach of the
oldest Inhabitants association" can
remember a January ! when there
was not a snake-like column of hui
mainly, headed by an orderly pha-
TANK of high officials, waiting to shake
hands with the president.
Aside from the big function at the
white House there are always numer-
Gus festivities to make the first day
of the year a brilliant occasion in the
national capital 1t is the custom for
the secretary of state to give an Of
fetal breakfast and for the other
members of the cabinet ana the adj
miral of the navy to keep open house.

arrests for such offenses formed less
than 10 per cent of the total.
The large class of minor offenses
denominated 'offenses against soci-
ETY. comprised SAT per cent of the
Arrests for the specific offense of
drunkenness formed $50 per cent
of the total, but in many cities the
charge of disorderly conduct covered
the same offense; thus in Harrisburg,
Pa, less than one-fifth of / per cent
of the arrests were on the ground
OF drunkenness, while 665 per cent
were on the ground of disorderly
conduct
1t is shown in a table that the per
! capita of cost of police protection in
the cities of Group l for 1907 was
nearly double the cost of police pro-
lection in cities of any other group. |
AS a corollory to this fact another
table shows that more than two
/ thirds of all the employees of the po- !
lice departments of the 1913 cities
considered were reported from the
cities of Group I, and nearly one
fourth of the entire number from the
city of New York
Where Police Forces Are Small.
Cities with particularly small po-
lice forces were Milwaukee, Wis, and
New Orleans, La, in Group I; Scran-
ton, Pa, and ST. Joseph, Mo-, in
ton. Mass, in Group III; and Lincoln
Neb, in Group ".
A city with an especially large po-
lice force was Washington D. c.
Nearly three-fourths of all en-
ployes of police departments were
patrolmen. of whom sos per cent
were on beats, per cent on posts,
! and 1914 per cent were detailed on
special duties. The number of
mounted patrolmen was only GO per
cent of the total number on beats,
more than two-thirds of whom were
mounted on horses A relatively
large number of the mounted patrol
men in the cities having from 10000
to 100000 inhabitants were in cities
of the Southern States, while more
than One-half of the bicycle police
men were reported from the four
cities of New York, Philadelphia.
Washington and Atlanta, Ca In
comparison with similar statistics for
1905 the proportion of patrolmen
mounted shows a moderate increase.
Most of the patrolmen ION posts
that is, on street duty, such as cross
ing and traffic duty, but not patrol
ling beat-were reported from
Group I.
OF the patrolmen detailed on spe-
citl duties, such as sanitary, park
and detective 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 la
I Dor in the police forces of the large
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 lawbreak-
ers. Payments to such employees in
crease the per capita cost of police
protection in large cities and in a
! large measure represent the differ
ence in per capita cost of police pro-
lection between the cities of Group
/ | and those of the other groups.

TEXAS MOTHER HERE
FOR SONS PARDON

All the way from -iouston, Tex, a
mother, has come to plead with the pris-
on commission of Georgia for the par
don of her son, a life convict of the
state.
Mrs. A. E. Blount of Houston. is watt
ing to appear before the commission on
behalf of the application that has been
fled for the pardon OF her son. Earl A.
Moore. Shelby Myrick. of Savannah, is
her attorney in the case. which is in
many respects unique In the records of
the commission.
About four years ago Moore was a
conductor on the Thunderbolt line of the
Savannah trolley service. Conductors on
that line are allowed to go armed. as
they sometimes have need eto protect
themselves. Moore carried a revolver.
An alteration arose one night on the
car and Moore commenced shooting One
of his bullets went wild through the
window of the car. and killed a woman
who was sitting on the front stoop of
her home. Moore was sentenced to life
Imprisonment. An interesting legal phase
of the same case was the supreme court s
decision that the trolley company was
civilly liable under the circumstances.
An application for clemency is on file
with the commission in Moore's behalf.
and the case is one of the number that
the commission is now clearing from its
docket.
