Report to City Council
Last Night.

Last night Public Safety Commits
sioner William Murphy presented the
following report to City Council, show
ing the details of the departments un-
der his direction

Members of City Council:
Police Departmert-Since the first
day of the present month there have
heen made IA police calls, as follows:
General, I.
Drunks, 8.
Violation Ordinance No. 175.
Burglary, 2.
On Feb. 3, in the early evening there
was bold burglary at the Lewis jew
elry store, South Laurel Street. 1t is
reported that about $500 worth OF
stock was taken. Entrance was made
by a rear window. No clues have been
provided that as yet justifies an ar
rest.
On Feb. IA, John Morrison was ar
rested while in the act of robbing a
South Laurel street billiard room. The
same defendant admitted breaking in
to three other places before he was
caught by a vigilant policeman.
| The South Avenue dynamite case
still remains a mystery despite ev-
cry effort made by special policemen
to unearth the persons responsible for
the outrage. Antonio Memmi, the VIC
tim of the assault of the dynamiters
has received warning letters of an
anonymous nature, threatening him
with vengeance if he attempts to pros
| ecute. The police department has al
so received letters cf a like nature.
Fire Department-Two alarms have
been turned in since Feb. 1st, as fol-
| lows:
Feb. 7, alarm box 26, cause, fire in
second floor of frame building north
| east corner Pearl and Lemon streets
Some damage to carpets and furniture
| Chemical engine used effectively. The
| fire was caused by oil heater.
Feb. 13, alarm box 25, cause, fire il
basement and first floor of the Bridge.
ton National Bank Building, South
Laurel street. The fire was caused by
| steam heating furnace in the base
| ment. The damage amounts to sever
al hundred dollars. The fire depart
ment responded very quickly and the
men handled a threatening situation
with intelligence and promptness
that is deserving of mention. Both
the chemical engine and plug stream
were used to fight the fire.
The axle and wheels for the La
France engine have been placed or
the machine and the engine is now in
the paint shop for the painting Of the
wheels. 1t will be finished this weel
and the engine put in commission.
Street Cleaning-Today the paved
streets of the business section were
swept with the sweeper for the first
time This year. A considerable i'm
provement was made by this effort in
the appearance of the streets. This
will be followed with flushing, and
| unless the weather shall become un-
Favorable, it is quite likely that the
paved streets will he kept in such q
state of cleanliness that the public
will approve.
Respectfully submitted,

Missouri Pacifc's initial offering of
500 shares at 5A to as was a reflection
Of the $50 assessment on that stock in

pressure. Reading falling a point. with
substantial recessons in other stand
ard railways and United States Steel.
Studebaker was almost the sole ex-
ception to the declining tendency, ad-
vancing 2 points
Prices rallied slightly from opening
levels, but weakened again when St,
Paul fell to 1885.
Southern Pacifc's loss of two points
was followed by a steady decline of
s12 in Louisville and Nashville, which
sold at 105l2. its lowest price in years.
Southern Railway Issues Affected.
Atlantic Coast Line lost six points,
and other southern railroad stocks
were adversely affected, Southern rail-
way preferred falling 4 41e and the COM
mon l p.
The break in this group. which was
unattended by any known develop
ment, soon caused a general reaction
of ! to points.
Bonds were irregular on lighter for
eign offerings

The break in Southern railway stocks
was checked for time at midday with
recoveries of l to points. Later, how
ever, prices receded again, when St.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July Relatively easy
Liverpool cables and a more favorable
weather map promoted some outside
liquidation and scattered local selling
in the cotton market here this morning
The opening was steady at decline of
! to points, which was rather better
than due on the foreign showing, but
prices soon turned easier. with active
months selling 4 or 5 points under last
nights closing figures. There was some
covering at the decline.
Futures opened steady July, 800:
October. 9.65; December. 800; January,
9.98 March, 1920.
Resting orders were encountered be-
low $50 for December and there were
slight rallies during the morning, but
weakness in the stock market was ac-
companied by some Wall street SELL
ing. while the somewhat unfavorable
reading of the weekly weather report
was Offset by the more favorable
weather now reported. with prices rul-
ing about to points net lower dur
ing the early afternoon.
Liquidation became more general dur
ing the afternoon and stop orders were
uncovered as the market broke through
$50 for October contracts. There ap-
peared to be little or no support on the
decline, which carried prices into new
