PATERSON MODEL CITY.
10y Union<Associated Press.)

Paterson, N. j., Feb. 24.-Notice is
hereby given that on and after this
date, if any writer for yellow news
papers or sensational magazines re-
fers to Paterson as 'hotbed of anar-
chy" or "'home of vice and crime, he
will be made to eat his words. Armed
with facts, figures and statistics, the
officials and business men of the city
are determined to put a stop to the
slurs upon Paterson's fair name.
AS a matter of fact Paterson is the
most orderly city of its size in tn.
country. Police statistics of all cities
in the United States having popula-
ton of between 100000 and $4,000
show this, according to a report sub
mitted to the Board of Trade.
The number of arrests in Paterson
for the year 1909 was 1880, the small
est total shown by any of the cities
cited. Atlanta, Ca, leads the list with
24,SOO arrests. Other cities with good
sized totals are: Los Angeles, $4,000;
Seattle, 14,10O; Portland, Ore, 1900;
Nashville, 11,30O; Omaha, $500; Day
ton, 5000.
