Crimes Cost to the State
Expenses of caring for criminals are in

$4,000 ii year This Is the excess of ex-
penditures the last fiscal year over and
above the appropriation made for that
purpose. This includes the arrest. keep,
trial and clothing ana guarding of the

against tho ordinances Of the cities and
towns of the commonwealth. This latter
tax is borne by the cities and towns and
will more than double the expenditure by

.MANY GIVE CAR FARES
Collections for the Junior
Republic.
BOXES NOT YET OPENED
Believed That Contributions Will Be
Over $1,000.
POINTS LEARNED THIS YEAR
Personal Attention Necessary to In
sure Success-Some Amusing
Incidents of the Day.
POINTS LEARNED THIS YEAR

Although the full returns will nf be in
until Tuesday or Wednesday the officers
of the Washington Junior Republic are
confident that the car fare" collections
of this year will equal if not exceed
those Of last year, when 81 066 was col
lected
Until most Of the boxes had been ex-
amned last night the committee in
charge of the collections feared that the
outcome would not be satisfactory, but
when the counting was over they were
treasured. Boxes that were left at sew
eral hotels and apartment houses are
yet to be heard from, as those in charge
of them were unable to go the rounds
last night. None of the various schools
and seminaries where the boxes were
placed as visited last night and q good
deal is expected from them. Figuring on
fair average from each Of the places
yet to be heard from, the committee Is
certain that when the total amount is
collected it will run we'll over $1,000.
Personal Supervision Necessary.
The experience of this years work has
convinced the ladies in charge of it that
personal attention to each collection box
is absolutely necessary to insure sue
cess. Where the ladies were stationed
the collections were the largest. Where
the boxes were stuck UP with signs over
them the collections were small. Here
after each collection box will have
lady In charge to encourage passersby
to contribute.
Car tickets galore were received in va
rints sections of the city. There were
t. '.y-fve collection boxes in all. For
Isl time the banks allowed the ladies
cit contributions In their buildings
vertable harvest was reaped In
'.acnce. At one bank $50 was col
Icctcd yesterday morning. One hundred
women carried on the work and, although
they were all tired out last night they
were happy at the result Of their labors.
Many Amusing Incidents.
Many amusing incidents occurred yes
terday. One of the ladies on duty wore
a carnation pinned on her waist. A man
came along. looked at the collection box
and then at the lady with the carnation
will you give me that carnation IL I
put quarter in your box?' he asked
why yes she replied, handing him
the flower.
Wont you pin it on fer me?" he asked
THAT will be 10 cents EXTRA" she said
She got the 80 cents
Two ladies at another place We're busy
looking out for nickelS, when small
newsboy came up. With great difficulty
he read the>sign above the collection box
do you take stamps?" he wanted to
know.
"Of course we do they told him.
! Whereupon he produced two two-cent
stamps and dropped them in the box.

In Peking streets last year there ap-
peared in use for the first time an au-
tomobile which happened to be OF
French construction. Cars. of course,
had occasionally been seen before in

remembered that the introduction Of
