100000 FITS
IN WALL STREET
Large Amounts of Cash Dis
tributed Among Employees
in Financial District.

NEW YORK, Dec 25.-Wall Street
was a million dollar Santa Claus this
year. 1t is estimated that that amount
was distributed among employees Of
the various Wall Street firms.
The distribution had been going on
for week, but in the majority of cases
the payment Of bonuses was made on
the day before Christmas. The year
now ending, although a fairly prosper
Gus one for bankers, has been a lean
one for stock brokers on account of
the dullness in speculation For this
reason, the Christmas total will be
smaller than in some former years in
which trading in stocks was heavy.
In some houses in the street" fixed
amounts in gold were given to clerks,
stenographers, boOkkeepers and mes
sengers, and in others the employees
received a percentage of their yearly
salaries. One of the large trust COM
panies presented to each employee from
the president down so per cent of his
salary for the year, but in most cases
the amount was much smaller.
In large number of commission
houses ten per cent was paid. En-
ployees OF J. p. Morgan g. Co. will not
receive their bonuses until just before
the close Of the year. Ten years ago
their present was a years salary, but
since that time ten per cent has usually
been paid to clerks affiliated with the
firm for ten years or less and fifteen
per cent to those who have been there
longer
There is a growing tendency in the
financial district to substitute salary
increases at the first Of the year for
Christmas bonuses on the ground that
the indiscriminate distribution Of lump
sums places no premium upon merit A
number of large Wall Street institu-
lions also have introduced the pension
system for superannuated employees in
place Of Christmas gifts

XMAS CRIME ON
WAVE IN ATLANTA
Thirty Per Cent Less LaWIess-
ness This Year Than Last,
Declares Detective Chief.

That crime and disorder in Atlanta
this Christmas was fully 30 per cent
less than last Christmas and in years
previous is the declara ton today of
Chief of Detectives Lanford, after a
careful survey Of the situation.
Shopliftng in the downtown stores
was less this year by at least so per
cent, said the chief.
Murder, burglary, highway robbery
and pocket picking all fell below the
usual record this Christmas, and there
has been al decrease all along the line,
he said
Chief Lanford attributes this to the
fact that the police and detective de-
partments are operating under better
system now and more men than were
on duty last Christmas. The depots,
hotels and the whole shopping district
have been well covered with plain
clothes officers and detectives.
No Chance For Crooks.

said the chief. We've kept all suspi-
cous characters under close watch and
have made it so hot for them they've
been afraid to attempt to ply their
trade"
The annual report Of the detective
department, now being prepared. shows
that stolen goods to the value of $780,,
600 have been recovered this year. This
record is greater than any two previous
years combined.
Chief Lanford says he still is in need
of more detectives, and will ask that
the force be increased from % to so
men.
Peace regns this Christmas day. At
lanta's record for the day can attest to
that.
