Separate Arrests.

A new system Of recording the names
OF all persons arrested in TIE District
OF Columbia has been adopted BY the
Police Department.
Heretofore it has been the custom "a
carry each case against a prisoner as q

lieves that this method IS misleading,
and for that reason has sraucurated a
change in the system Of bookkeepins
whereby each actual arrest Is entered
once. and additional cases carried as
such.
The reason for the change was ex-
planned by the fact that do ing the
last few DAYS twelve arrests Rave been
made by the Detective Bureau 4 total
OF 30 separate charSes or cases were
filed against the twelve prisoners. In
