Preliminary Work on Bathing
Beach at Seventh Street
Is Under Way.
PUBLIC BATHS PLANNED
Alderman Holzhammer Head of Com
mittee Secures Lot of Sand and
Gravel for Landing.

Alderman John Holzhammer of the

bathing beach at the foot of Seventh
street improved this summer If pos
sible He has already secured the

houses, and he is going ahead with the
preliminary arrangements. Last week
the Rock Island Sand & Gravel COM
pany was induced by Alderman Holz-
hammer to dump a lot of sand and
gravel onto the beach location, and
this will prove a great benefit, giving
a fine sandy shore. Some of the sand
has been dumped on the beach, and
still more is to be placed there. Alder
, man HoI2hammer is chairman of a
special committee appointed TO take
charge of the bathing beach PROPOSE

months ago there appeared in The Ar
gus Illustrations of public bathing
beaches in other Mississippi river
cities, accompanied with the sugges-
ton that such an institution be estab.
lished here The idea met with much
favor, and particularly in the lower
! wards. At the next meeting of the
! council Alderman Holzhammer brought
the matter up and secured the ap,
pointment of committee of three
with himself as chairman, to investi
gate the matter. The foot of Seventh
street was chosen as the most salts
factory site.

CRIME DECREASED BY
CLEVELAND'S SYSTEM
Golden Rule" Policy Of Chief Of Pc
lice kohler Has Brought Good
Results.

Cleveland, O., Jan 25.-The SO
called golden rule" policy inaugurated
by Chief of Police Kohler of this city
about a year ago with view of mini
MIXING the number of arrests consist
ent with law and order continues to
attract the attention of police author
tiles not only in this country but
throughout Europe as well. Inquiries
concerning the plan have been re-
ceived by Chief Kohler from nearly all
sections of the civilized world
Chief Kohler discussing the subject
yesterday said:
THE common sense or SO termed
Golden Rule policy in making arrests
inaugurated by me on January 1, 1908,
has obtained results beyond all ex-
pectations and the effect has been so
great for good that that the old custom
of making arrests will soon, and
should be in my judgment, a thing of
the past. ~a
1.-THE total number of arrests for the
year 1907 was 30,418, under the old
custom. For 1908 the total arrests
were 1O,OS5 under the golden rule pol
icy, a decrease of &c per cent. W. 3
There was less crime and less prop
erty stolen in Cleveland in 1908 than
during the previous year. Members
of the department now have more time
Tor the prevention of crime and the
apprehension of more serious offend
ers. --
First and minor offenders are not
given prison records, disgraced and
Inundated, but are allowed to go to
their work without being detained in
prison and thus the necessities of life
are not taken from their families.
About the only complaint we re-
ceive against this common-sense pol
icy comes from police court attorneys
who desire to obtain fees from unfor-
tunates."
