CAPT. MURRAYs REPORT.
Twenty seven Arrests During May
Slightly Under April Total.

Captain John Murrays report for
May shows that there were 81 ar
rests in this city during that period.
This is not as high a record as was
made in April, when there were 80
arrests, nor equal to that of March,
when 81 were recorded; but the fig
ures for the past three months are
out of all proportion to what has been
the rule here for the past three or
foru years. June, with a record of
eight arrests in the first two days,
promises to be no improvement over
the spring months. The reason for
the surprising increase in the number
of arrests is not easy to determine.
Rough characters in large numbers
seem to be more numerous hereabouts
this year, however, than for long
time and it is this class from which
most of those arrested come.

GERMAN FOOD RISES
TO FAMINE PRICES

SAYS Writer.
by Casl, 70 TIE Tribune

Amsterdam, Nov. / dispatch to the
Daily Express" London).-The fam
inc prices to which food has risen in

in the "Vorwaerts," to the dealers and
producers rather than to any serious
shortage of supplies.
"All the marvellous industry OF the
women Of Germany" Luise Ziet.
writes, call their noble sacrifices. have
been insufficient, in the face OF the
frightful rise in the price Of food, to
guard their families against bitter dis
tress. The women have waited and
hoped that the government, by seizing
neeessaries and fixing maximum prices,
would put an end to the intolerable
dearness. The Federal Council issued
few orders. but they were of such
a nature that they could not be ex-
pccted to cope with the magnitude Of
! the problem The result Of this lam
entable failure is that meat Is so
incredibly dear that on Sundays it is
no more to be seen on the tables Of
the middle and working classes. All
the while the producers and dealers
and the great meat and sausage manu-
facturers are pocketing formidable
profits, and, while vast quantities Of
meat and sausage are rotting, the poor
are starving.
Exactly the same conditions hold
true in regard to the fish supply. We
were nearly smothered under the
weight Of a colossal potato crop, but
the producers and dealers held back
their stocks to force up prices still
higher. Fruit and cereals are similar
ly unobtainable. Fats are growing
even more scarce. and sugar, Of which
we have an abundance and which could
replace these fats very largely, is not
TO be purchased except at veritable
siege prices. The charges for mar
garine butter, vegetable fats. tsllow
and bacon are Enthusiastically high. Milk
prices have risen 10 such an extent as
| to be the direct cause Of most serious
| increase in infant mortality.
