PAGAN SUBMITS REPORT
 OF THE POLICE FOR MAY

Showing a total of 1878 arrests the police report for the month of May will be presented to Commissioner of Public Justice A. o. Lane this morn 1ng. It Is considered by Chief Martin Eagan an excellent months work.
 We have made some progress the past month," said Chief Eagan, "al- though do not wish it understood that h believe a large number of arrests is a criterion of the success of any po- lice department. The least number of arrests made and at the same time giv ing adequate protection to citizens is always a mark of efficiency in police management.
 However in the past month of May the arrests made by the police and de- tective departments were well diversi- fled There was a good percentage of important arrests-such as for mur- der, arson and grand larceny The ar rest for assaults with intent to mur- der were 22 in number and that for burglary IS, showing that the de- tectives have been working. As for the vagrants "A of them were arrested and this nuisance is being daily elim- inated by ruthless campaign
 "As the city commissioners have gone on record for strict observance of the municipal automobile ordi- nances the motorcycle scouts have ar rested "A speeders and convicted 55 in recorders court. For running with muffler open, 64 were arrested and 53 paid fines Running without a license, eight were apprehended and four were convicted. showing that for infractions of automobile laws 146 arrests were made, which resulted in 112 convic- tions.
 And again the pistol toter' suffered in the special campaign we made against him. In the last month there were 29 arrests for carrying con cealed weapons and there were 24 con victions, which resulted in fines and Jail sentences for the offenders. The new pistol ordinance also is proving of great aid in suppressing the carrying of firearms.
 AS for the gambling situation, to show that the lid is still on, there were TIT arrests which resulted in 133 con victions. Incidentally it might be stated that the gamblers are not find ing much success in appealing from the Judgment of the recorders court, for last month the criminal court sustained the city in nearly every appealed case

SAYS LABOR HAS
 RIGHT TO ORGANIZE

Bloomington, Ind, June 5.-A committee report, declaring that, Labor has a right to organize. but not to use systematical- ly secret methods or to enter con spiracy to injure property" and that ar bitration is "Christian.'' was adopted to- day by the synod of the Reformed Pres byterian Church of the United States and Canada in session here.
 Less than living wages are a sign of wrong" continued the report. The way a man gets his living often deter mines many of his relations in life. even to his relations to the church. Wages should be in proportion to productivity. .'Interest being the return upon produc- tive capital is justified. but loans to poor brethren, for personal or family need, should be without interest. "All wealth is held in trust for God and fellowmen Land must not be mon .opolized."

The Industrious Navajo

With 800, 900 sheep, to say nothing of
their goats, cattle, horses, and other
farm animals, the Navajo Indians are a
thoroughly pastoral people, says .'Yava-
pal" magazine. Each week they move
their bands of sheep to new pastures
which employs large part of their
people on their farms which lie in
Northeastern Arizona and extend over
into New Mexico.
Naturally, the sheep industry is of
enormous Importance to these simple
people who are very Industrious and
hospitable. Even the little children of
8 and 9 years of age, help take care of
the focks, often quite alone, sleeping
on the ground with single blanket by
a small campfire keeping hungry coy
otes from depicting the flock, doing
their own butchering for themselves
and dogs, and in short doing everything
necessary for good shepherd to do.
One boy told writer in the Tucson
"Star" that his family had 2,285 head
of sheep and that many of the families
had quite as much. He also said that
some of the people used the sharpened
edges of old tin cans in shearing their
sheep.
One of the most important industries
of these people is the making of blank
cts. Every 'hogan" has its loom and
these people sell. it is said, $3.50, 900
worth of blankets each year. The
vogue of the Navajo blanket is spread

Works Zebra With
Horses in the Field

w. S. Hastings, a Posey county
Ind, stock breeder and farmer,
is using a zebra, valued at $250O,
on one of his farms in place of a
horse.
DR.. Hastings brought the ami
NAL and it's mate from Hamburg,
Germany two years ago and
placed them on his farm for the
purpose of cross-breeding with
native mules. The original cost
of the animals and their trans
portation here amounted to $4,000.
One of the zebras was accident
ally kicked to death last year and
in order to exercise the other,
DR.. Hastings putt to work a few
days ago pulling drag on one his
farms. The zebra is thoroughly
domesticated and proved a better
worker than the horse which it
replaced. 1t did not become ia
tigued easily and the cost of it's
feed is less than that of a horse.
In fact the animal is harder in
every way than the ordinary
farm or draft horse.
The zebra has long been known
as an animal which is most diff
cult to domesticate and it has
been considered impracticable to
use it for farm work. This fact
makes DR.. Hastings success with
his animal most unusal thing.
