Some Statistics Which The
Year Brought Forth

With the advent of the New Year
Friday, there comes to everybody a
survey of the twelve months just
passed; what has been accomplished
during that period; what more might
have been done and then-New Years
resolutions.
The passing Of an old year or the
coming of new is period which
brings joy and gladness to the heart
and soul Of every fgure-lover. For
one solid day, he may gloat over an
endless array of figures showing that
there have been 80 many murders, ac-
cidents. births, deaths, suicides, di-
vorces and what not during the year
just ended.
For him and his ilk, the Banner
presents the following figures, CLEAN
ed from the records of three of the
city's departments:
Arrests

February-226.

April-89.

June-26.

Total-1,259. II
OF this number, $50 we're merely
vagrants, so the actual arrests, where
a fine was concerned, numbered 279.
Excluding "vags," more people were
arrested in September than any 9TH
er month, while February holds the
honor Of h. wing the least number
come into the clutches of the law.
During August and September, not a
vagrant was lodged In jail, which Is
only to be expected as it is much
nicer to sleep outdoors in warm
weather. A few less than 275 Of
these "vags" were put up by the city
in December-an usually large num-
ber.

blow has been dealt Uncle Sam In his self
respect by the attitude OF the German
