FIGURES FOR QUARTER

Since the new excise law went into ef-
feet. July !. there has been q general
impression that the police are more in
clined to make arrests for violations OF
Its provisions than under the old law, be-
cause of the fact the policemen's and
firemen's pension fund profits through
the fines collected. According TO the ofi-
cials Of the Police Department and po-
licemen themselves, this is not 30.
During the first quarter of its operation.
ending September 30. 2.i32 arrests were
made by the police under the new law.
This total Is divided as follows: Intoxi-
cation, 2,041 arrests: unlicensed bars, 2;
unlicensed clubs. Il; giving liquor away,
10; selling liquor to minors. 2; aiding and
abettlng in the unlawful sale Of liquor, i;
drinking in public places. street cars,
&c, ,S31. -
There were more arrests for the quarter
than during the corresponding quarter
for 1919, more convictions and more fines
paid. The increase In the number Of ar
rests, however. Is not due to any desire
on the part OF the police 10 "persecute," :"
but because the new law covers, or de-
fines. certain violations more clearly than
the old law. This. in measure. relieves
policemen Of the responsibility OF exercis-
ing discretion. Now violations under the
new law are put UP 10 the foHce courts
to decide. regardless of how trivial the
case In question may be.
Increase of 10 Per Cent.
, officials of the Police Court expect the
pension fund will be increased about 10
per cent as a result OF workings Of the
new law.
For the quarter ended September 30
the Police Courts collected In fines. in
cluding disorderly conduct, assault cases,
larceny, and other misdemeanors, S2S.-
2ll-S. OF this amount, approximately.
1850 was taken in on fines for viola
tions of the new excise law.
The pension fund depends upon Police
Court receipts and the income from the
dog tax collected In the District. It is
estimated that the close of the year 1913
will see a total collection of 10000 in
the Police Courts. an increase of about
10000 over 1919. To this will be added
about $4,000 from dog taxes To MAIN
tain the pension fund requires an outlay
Of about s14i,0oo. Unless some special
provision is made by the District gov
ernment or Congress, there will be a
deficit of about $4,000

Do Men Weep Most Now7

A constant theater goer writes that
from the observation among London
audiences he has come to the conclu-
sion that the day of weeping wom-

ut seems only few years ago." he
writes, that women wept on the slight
est provocation. A situation in which
the faintest touch Of pathos was In
troduced provided an excuse to bring
out the handkerchiefs. Now scenes
which would move the heart OF the
most cynical do not bring a tear to
the eye of the modern woman.
MY experience is that men In tho
audience more often give vent to
their emotions. II they do not weep.
they snin and use their handker.
