EXAMINE REPORT
ON POLICE RECORD
Former Chancellor and City
Commissioner Substantiate
Miller's Figures.

In a letter to Mayor Monteverde,
Francis Fentress, former chancellor,
and A, d. Mason, city commissioner,
who were requested to examine the re-
port of c.. w, Miller. police commits
sioner, on the record Of the police de-
confirm Mr.. Miller's statement as re-
CARDS the number Of homicides com.
mitted in Memphis since 1915. The
letter also states that SO far as they
were able to ascertain, Mr.. Miller's re-
port on the number Of %robberies and on
the amount paid into city court in
fines and forfeitures is substantially
correct.
No examination of the unlawful traf-
fic In liquor was made by the two men
and therefore no report on this matter
was included in the letter.
Mr.. Miller subscribed the following to
the report:
The commissioner of fire and police
begs to add to this report as follows.
The records of crimes committed show
a very decided decrease during my in
cumbency In office. The records Of ar
rests and convictions of law vi%olators Is
from two to five times greater than
before | assumed office. There is only
one possible DEDUCTION to be reached
from these records, namely, that the
police department is more efficient and
active than was the case before l as
sumed office.
THE reason that statement was not
given as to liquor arrests was because
there was no previous record to com
pare with and, therefore, a statement
or arrests for current period would
have no value. The police department
has not now reached the high state Of
efficiency that | would like to see 1t
attain, yet 1t is vastly more efficient
tina at any time before In period

the call, or 35 points net higher. The
weather map was considered favorable
and the Lancashire strike news was
against prices. but these features were
evidently overshadowed by the peace
prospects and there was an active de-
mand during the early trading.
Conflicting reports concerning peace
prospects caused a good deal of nerv-

reports that Germany would not sign
the peace treaty unless admitted to the

Mississippi valley some heavy one

some improvement. but additional

post from the rapidly falling river
has been uncovered to such a great
depth that the regular wharfboat Of
the Lee line has been abandoned so
far as loading OF freight and passengers
Is concerned. As the river falls It prob
ably will be impossible for loading and
landings to be made wen at this point.
w P. Shea, wharfmaster, has a small

with streams Of water on the mud but
the mud has been allowed to accumu-
late so long that little Roadway has
been made.

silt from the channel Of the canal. De-
posits to the depth OF Is feet In some
places were found. Allowed to accumu-
late much longer, backwater, through
the entrance Of the canal as well as
