Tulsa EXCEEDS MANY LARGE
CITIES IN TIE NUMBER
OF ARRESTS.

lb2 Offenders Were Placed Under Ar

oi September.

Figures that sound like Chicago or
Kansas CiU reports are Included In
the report OF the Tulsa police depart.
m-nt FOR the month Of September,
which viii be submitted 20 the city
commissioners tomorrow.
The report shows that the business
transacted By the rolice department
for the month exceeded In many ways
the work Of police organizations in
such cities as Denver, Kansas city
ana Seattle. The variety Of chargcs
the number OF arrests and the amount
Of fines collected all present startling
evidences ~ the unique position OF the
local police department Whether this
big amount Of police activity is due 10
increased work on the part pf the Of
ficers or the unusually strong prevail
unce Of petty crime is hard to deter
mine.
Nevertheless the fact remains that
so many human fish fall into the Tul-
ga police dragnet that the building OF
a big addition to the city jail and the
erection OF an entirely new municipal
court noon has been made necessary
lately.
During the month Of September, ac-
cording to the report OF Chief Yoder,
the department made a total Of 4S2
arrests, or an average Of a fraction
over 10 arrests daily. OF this number

alternative Is a jail sentence for

Whitaker Wright, backed by popu.

riches supporting him and a beautiful
wife and children to make his fine,
big London mansion a real home, was
tempted to issue just one prospectus
on Yankee press agent lines. This

Wales, but at the critical time the
Prince failed him.
