ARREST a MISTAKE; POLICE ARE
DENOUNCED.
Thomas w. Hunter, Colored Freed
After Being in Jail Months.

Denouncing in unmcasured terms
the action Of the police department i'll
holding an innocent man in Jail for
six montha, without presenting his
case to the grand jury, Associate Jus
tice Gould presiding in criminal divi
sion l Of the District Supreme Court
yesterday ordered the discharge from
further custody Of Thomas w. Hun
ter colored accused of robbery.
Hunter was arrested February 2S
last charged with robbing Abraham
Kalker of SIS on January II. He was
held to await the action of the
grand jury but when his case was
reached for presentation to that
body the police admitted a mistake
had been made in arresting him.
Immediate steps were thereupon
taken by the United States district
attorneys office to have Hunter re
leased. Assistant District Attorney
Mason suggested that he be allowed
TO go on his own recognizance.
ole shall do nothing of the sort"
declared Associate Justice Gould.
His case is dismissed and the police
owe him an opology for arresting
him without any evidence against
him. Such action on their part makes
the administration of Justice re-
proach."
Thcrcupon Hunter left the court
room free man. 1t remains to be
seen whether he has any legal re-

.CANADA'S FIRE LOSSES
MAINLY IN INDUSTRY

In three years record Of fire losses
in Canada. totaling more than $685.
900. 900. 2 Ia per cent of the loss was
from fires in residence districts. and
81 rs per cent from fires in con-
gested business districts s. public
buildings, churches, manufacturing
and storage plants. grain elevators
and buildings other than dwellings.
This emphasizes the fact that fires
in residence districts are infreQuent
and of small loss compared to the
business sections which are poorly
f1reguarded, especially at night. Agi-
tation is growing to hold legally re-
SponSible those who are to blame
through carelessness for any fire
which causes destruction of property
and particularly loss of life.
Many fires go on record as cause
undete rmined," whereas, a careful in
vestigation should be authoritativeIy
made in every case to find out the
cause, and publicity should be given
to the result of such an investigation
This elimination of fire waste is be-
ing agitated more and more in this
country as well as in Canada and
should be of especial interest to the
lumberman.
