Chief BOdeker Submits His
Monthly RepOrt-ToO
Many Arrests
THANKS DEPARTMENT
FOR SHOWING MADE
More White Men Than Negroes Ar
rested-"Speeders" Troublesome,
He Declares-62 Arrested
With 56 Convictions

With a total of 1928 arrests, of which 1868
courts, the April report of the police de-
partment was filed yesterday morning
with Commissioner of Public Safety A.
o. Lane by Chief of Police George H.
Bodeker.
The April report according TO Chief
Bodeker, shows most excellent work on
the part of the local police. But" the
chief stated 'it is to be greatly regretted
that so many arrests We're necessary. Tn
der the charge of assaults and affrays
alone there were 1872 arrests, of which 120
convictions were secured.
1.-The auto speeders." said Mr.. Bodeker,
have also been very troublesome dur
ing the past three weeks, owing to the
mild and fair weather, which proved SO
tempting to automobists. We have only
four motorcycle police scouts a very in
adequate force for the work, but they
have managed to make 62 automobile ar
rests for alleged violations of which they
an excellent showing.
Wants to Crush "Pistol Toter"
Carrying concealed weapons, or the
greatest evil of Jefferson county and the
city of Birmingham, the pistol toter,' fell
into the dragnet of justice, some 35 times,
of which 20 were convictions and two
cases were continued to a higher court.
l have repeatedly instructed the men in
my department to make every effort to
| crush out the evil of carrying concealed
weapons, and | will prosecute to the full
est extent of the law any person caught
with revolver in his pocket. Brming
ham is civilized community and the
| time has past when its citizens need to
go about armed in the streets.
There were SS6 arrests for disorderly
conduct and to show that these were not
frivolous arrests, 3S7 resulted in convic-
| tions, For excessive use of Intoxicating
liquors, S26 were arrested and 800 We're
fined The gamblers, owing to the excel
lent work of Captain Johnston were a
much harassed set of men for 105 ar
rests were made and 80 were convicted
which was the hardest blow gaming has
received in Birmingham in some years
The 'mashers felt the heavy hand of the
law TO the extent that 21 were arrested
for lettering and II were convicted The
officers were also very much on the alert
for the vagrants as ~ were arrested on
vagrancy charges and 30 were convicted.
"On the whole, with the inadequate
force of men, the Birmingham police de-
partment has acquitted itself in a highly
commendable manner during the past
month of April. The great number of
arrests were regrettable. especially as
there We're 76S white men arrested on
various charges-a number which sur
passes by over 100 the negro arrests"

with, but has the tariff question
also on his list to drive the sleep
from his eyes. The agitation Of
four years Of the tariff question
has cost the woolgrowers Of the
United States millions of dollars,
and the question still remains
unsettled.
From present prospects. a
special session of Congress will
be called about March Is to dis
cuss further this question, but
what the results will be from
this Congress no man seems will
ing to risk even a guess. The
only thing that the shepherd can
do is to hope for the best and to
prepare fer the worst. The pro-
spect for a favorable duty on
wool is surely not very bright.
THE high price of beef and
the scarcity of that article
throughout the United States
beyond question will help the
mutton market. Statistics show
that more than 800. 900 less cat
tie were received in the stock
markets Of the United States
last year than the previous year:
and consequently this has mad a
beneficial effect on the mutton
and lamb markets. Foreign
countries all show an increase in
price.
Cattle hides show an average
import price of IL. 5 cents a pound
pound in October. 1912, against
14.5 cents a pound in the same
month in 1911. and IA a pound
the same month for 1910. I'm
ported calf and goat skins show
about the same increase in price.
ION account of the decrease
in cattle and the relative increase
in price. it looks beyond ques-
| tion that the mutton and lamb
market will be good for some
years to come. | also look, no
matter what Congress may do
on wool. for chat product to keep
at least at ~ reasonable price
this year onlacsollnt Of the scar
city Of this az Scle In the markets
Of the world. ~ believe the
sheep men can look forward to q
reasonably prosperous new year.
"Our state legislature will
meet here nexte Monday. Care
full attention should be paid by
the woolgrowers and the COM
mittees appointed to see that
proper legislation is passed to
protect sheep against disease
and wild animals. Also to see
that no unnecessary and hostile
legislation is passed against the
sheep industry.

tion held the opening session of
its annual meeting at Hotel
Utah.
President E.. II. Callister was
in the chair and delivered his
annual address, and Gov. VIM.
Spry welcomed the members of
the association. A feature of
the meeting was an address by
J. E. Cosgriff of Wyoming. in
which he treated upon relations
existing between the wool
growers, wool buyers and wool
manufacturers, and particularly
upon the character of care or
carelessness displayed by grow
ers in handling their product for
market. Each of the speakers
made some reference to the
prospective reduction of the
tariff on wool.
As~Monday afternoons meet
ing adjourned it was an
nounced that the board of
directors of the association
would hold a brief meeting this
