MANY IN JAIL
Population of the County Prison Ex-
ceeds All Records in Recent Years
Forty in Jail at the Present Time.

Not in the history of the city for
several years has there been so many
prisoners in the county Jail as there
are the present time, or as there has
been for the past week. Today there
were forty locked in the county prison.
Monday there were forty-eight. The
reason for this marked increase is that
since the epidemic Of burglaries broke
out in the city, the police and peace
officers have arrested and thrown in
jail many men for vagrancy, whom the
police look on as suspicious characters.
1t is the claim of the officers that
many of the prisoners in the county
Jail are thugs, hold-up men and bur-
glars. In fact practically all strangers
who look at all queer" and who are
unable to give satisfactory reason
for their presence in the city, have
been caught in the police drag net.
No burglaries or attempts to force
entrances into homes were reported to
the police today.

Mr.. Frank Addresses Two Gatherings
of Church Men.

Mr.. Frank Addresses Two Gatherings
of Church Men.
Two meetings of church men were
held at the First United Evangelical
and the Central Church of Christ
Monday night, at which Mr. Frank
urged the men to do vigorous personal
work to insure the success of the Sum
day revival.
Mr.. Frank urged the men to go to
work Immediately to fulfill their OBJ
legations by doing personal work, as
that was the feature of the campaign
which made the meetings a success.
The reason, he said, the REVEALS had
not been even greater successes in
other places, was because the men had
put off doing personal work until the
last week of the campaign. Thirty five
men attended the meeting on the south
side and forty-five were at the Central
Church of Christ meeting.
