ONLY ; NEGRESSES AND A
WHITE WOMAN IN CITY JAIL

Three negresses and a white WO-
man are the only female occupants Of
the city jail at present This marks
about the lowest ebb in the history
OF the new city Jail, as conrrasted
with three months ago. when the fe-
male prisoners numbered around 40
and SO.
The reason for the remarkabls drop
in female delinquents is prohibition,
the thoroughuess Of the work Of the
different purity squads. and the fact
that such women as are found TO be
diseased are transferred 10 the county
authorities, who house them, feed
them. and give them treatment. BY
this means the city Jail has delivered
several women TO the county.
