POLICE BUSINESS CONTINUES SMALL

The great falling off in police and city court business which was noticed to follow the enforcement of wartime prohibition after the first of July was continued during the month of August, when the arrests numbered 56 in con- trast to 204 names entered on the po- lice blotter in the month of August, 1913. Intoxication and breach of the peace, which always stood at the top of the list as causes of arrest, have lost that preeminence. according to the figures in the two years. In August of 1918 there were 91 arrests for in toxication; this year only seven, of which three were on last Saturday night.
 violators of the motor vehicle law are now taking first place in furnish ing police and court cases. They numbered r in the past month. Breach of the peace was the cause for arrests in II cases. and was the only other cause which ran into double figures.
