FEWER ARRESTS:
 MORE CONVICTIONS
Four Hundred and Thirty Persons lncarcerated-Three Hundred and
 Eighty eight Proven Guilty

Reports by the members of the de- tectiye department to Chief of Detec- tive Lyons show that a total of 42o arrests were made during the month of April.
 Out of these arrests, 26 were ac quited on trial, 16 have cases pending and the remaining 3sS were found guilty and given fines aggregatfng s8, 300
 Stolen property was returned valued at s24,55o, of which s105SO repre- scented automobiles.
 Fewer numbers of arrests and more convictions seem to show that the de- tectives are making absolutely sure that their men are guilty before put ting them into jail" said Chief Lyons. 'On the whole. think that the record is very creditable one for the de- partment.'

 BRYAN'S INTRUSION IN ALABAMA RACE

The presence of Mir Bryan in Alabama under the circumstances demonstrates the apprehension of the Musgrove management that Judge " oakley has developed strong support and more strength than is good for the Musgrove campaign, and the supreme efofrt is to take from Judge Weakley his first choice votes and bestow them on Musgrove.
 ACTION UNPRECEDENTED
 Such an action is unprecedented in the history of the state, and it is con- sidered by Judge Weakley and his management that this effort to bud geon Judge Weakley is destructive of his constitutional rights as a native citizen and democrat of the state of Alabama, and is also destructive of the rights of the voters of Alabama t3 form their own opinions and cast their own votes for the man or men of their choice, without interference CT suggestion from outsiders in other states, who step suddenly into a state without any knowledge of the situa- ticn and undertake to advise democrats how they should vote for a United States senator to represent them in a primary.
 'The paid services of Mr. Bryan have been at the command of the Anti Salon League of America for at least year or more. He appeared in Ala hama in' 1919 under the auspices of that organization, made speeches and took up collections and subscriptions of money for it's benefit
 This action is but the successor of the famous Montgomery conference of March, which had in view the same purpose. which was either to force Judge Weakley out of the race or to drive away from him all support he lad gathered in long and vigorous campaign That movement not only totally failed, but so aroused the indig- nation of fair minded people that Judge Weakleys seupport was strengthened thereby; and it is be- l!eved that his friends will continue to stand firm against this outside inter- ference, even from so eminent man az MT.

New York, July 31.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
Confusion of sentiment and highly
varied expression of opinion In weekly
reviews Of the securities market position
and the general outlook tended further
70 lessen public interest in stock prices
IN today's short session. The tone was
one Of underlying strength, neither pres
snre nor buying initiative being In eyi-
dence to turn the sluggish tide. The
statement of Comptroller Of the Cur
rency williams gave additional emphasis
To the fundamentally sound financial
condition of the country, and iteration
of the ability of the Federal Reserve
banks to supply adequate credit facili-
ties for essential purposes should give
confidence in the future, following q
ner;od of necessary readjustment and
perbans some business unsettlement.
THE outstanding feature today was
tbe absence of all but the most per-
functory concern in the trading. Nu-
merous ordinarily active issues were
scarcely touched in the first hour.
There was good show Of strength
among the chemical stocks, particularly
those involved in merger rumors in cir
culation for several weeks past. Ma
tional Analine, General Chemical and
Barrett Co. Motors, oils and equip
ments did very little.
There was quiet strength In the rail-
road list, gains in several cases Being
a point or more. Another sharp break
in wheat prices of 10 cents or more a
bushel was recorded.
The second hour saw some yielding In
industrial values, while the rails rather
more than held their own. In neither
list, however, was there the slightest
indication in initiation in any direc-
ton. AS far as any significance in the
trading in the half session went, the
market might as well have closed yes
terday for the week. There was little
of promise in money outlook In view of
the announcement that the government
would withdraw 1000, 900 more from
the banks on Tuesday next.

THRIFT AND WASTE PAPER.

Economy and thrift were words that
become familiar to US during the war
years. We were told that thrift would
win the war and were urged to save in
number Of different ways.
Something of the emphasis on thrift
yeems to have been lost since the war ur-
Fency passed over but 1t is interesting at
his time. when the necessity for conser-
Fstion Of white paper is before the pub

children Of the St. Louis schools in con-

LAND OF oPpoRTUNIrY.

Judge Gary of the United States Steel
corporation, talking for the employers
of America declared in New York re-
Gently:
The present so-ealled labor str likes, in
volving riot and injury to property and
person, are instigated as a part of the
campaign to disturb and demoralize the
social and economic conditions of the
country. In other lands very serious
results have been accomplished by the
same means which have been employed
here.
Unquestionably what the judge says
is true of the radical labor organizations
such as the I. w. W, which are disloya
to both constitution and law, and seek
an industrial revolution such as was &C
complished in Russia. But this country
is not hankering to be Russianzsd. L
still believes in property rights and al
proper rewards for industry, econom!
and thrift. A country in which youni
men who start with nothing but intelli
gence, ambition, willingness to work
good habits and sufficient self-denial t.
save, and advance everywhere from pov
erty to comfort, will hold in check al
combinations of men which seek to de
stroy opportunity and to confscate tn
| savings, large or small, of all citizens.

Courthouse Damage and the TinsmitI

Courthouse Damage and the Tinsmiths.
Mr.. Editor: Mr. Fox seems to think
that by general denial OF the few facts
quoted by me form the tinsmiths docu-
ur1ents, he can divert you and your read
ers into the belief that this is not pub
lie matter, but only a personal discus
sion between himself and me.
This is not the case. My quotations
are facts, word for word taken from pa
pers served on all the employing firms
of the city, and presumably of New
Lonklon, also, as the documents new be-
| fore me are subscribed:
Local SIS, Amalgamated Sheet Metal
| Workers, Norwich and New London,
| Conn.,
The matter of dates, of which Mr..
Fox makes a points not important
but the document before me dates the
proposed agreement as follows:
ITO take effect May 1, 1920, and to
| continue in effect until May /, 1921"
This and the two other papers, were
submitted with a blank space to be fill
| ed in by employers as agreeing to their
| terms and provisions, and the envelope
| has the Norwich postmark, April 4,
| 6 p. m"
The date, as I stated, is May 1, 1920.
1t is true that sheet metal workers have
mo jurisdiction" per Sc, over the plumb
ers, because they ought not to have au-
| thority over them. The plumbers should
be their own men, until their agreement
with their employers expires. But when
