CRIME DECREASING
Is SHOWN BY THE
RECORDS FOR 1878

a few of the outstanding features
of the police report of 1918 compared
with 1918 are;
That crime is becoming steadily
more unpopular in Albuquerque,
That the good old days when one
could buy a bowling jag for a nominal
sum is gone forever.
That the police force is able to giFo
more attention to those who break the
traffic ordinances.
In 1918 there were ,35S arrests. m
1919 there were but 1,016 arrests--d4=
fewer than the year BEFORE, For the
greatest number of arrests in any one
month. December holds the record
with october next. July shows the
smallest number of arrests.
Now as to who gets into the most
trouble. the married man, mere man
or the female of the species, ii is hard
to determine, as no separate record IS
kept.
That the good Old days when one
could buy a first-class stew for a
reasonable price have gone, perhaps
forever, is indicated by the drop III
the number of arrests for drunken
ness, In 1918 there we're 294 DRINKS
taken to the police station to sleep II
off Up until January l, 1920, there
We're twenty-five drunks-a difference
of 272.
Disturbances were less frequent in
1919 than in 1918. There have heen
sixty-nine such cases up until Jan
narv /, compared with l3l during
1918.
According to the figures, gambling
was somewhat more popular during
1919 than in 1918. No arrests are
shown for 1913, while sixteen were
arrested for this offense in 1919.
The charge of vagrancy covers lit
orally a multitude of sins, Persons
arrested for vagrancy were 220 in
1918, as compared with $50 for 1919.
That it is still in the mind of some
men to have more wives than ono is
shown by the records of 1919, when
one bigamist was arrested.
Also that some people are not yet
able to control their curiosity in re-
gard to the future is evidenced by the
the past year.
The number of arrests for larceny
is placed at thirty-five for 1918, as
against forty-two for 1919
THAT the police force has been able
to give better attention to traffic VIC
lators and that traffic on the streets
of Albuquerque is becoming a serious
proposition, is shown by the arrest
of 1862 violators in 1913, as compared
with 214 in 191S---a difference of las.
Stolen goods to the amount of
$7,Oo3,53 were recovered by the police
in 1919. This together with the re-
CENTS which are shown as being
$4,000. makes the police department

keeping up a diligent search for the
man who. last Tuesday night. held up
and robbed Frank Montoya of $1.So

and said they engaged in converse
ton. He finally asked Wilson to take
Il walk with him, as there was party

of business. The business having been
attended to, they started back to
town and the two were held UP by
masked man. Montoya himself being
relieved of $1.S5, all the money he
had. MontOya did not know that
Wilson had any money on his person
until he saw him hand something over
to the robber Wilson told him after
ward he gave the holdup man $25.
Young MontOya was wanted by Dis
trict Attorney Craig's office, so far as
known, merely for the purpose OF
making inquiry of him regarding the

TO PROBE CHARGES
AGAINST TEACHER
Supt. Thurston Orders In
quiry Into Alleged Criticism
of Congress.

Investigation of the charges made
on the floor of the House yesterday
by Representative Summers of Wash
ington that teacher at Central High
School daily holds members of Con-
gress up to the scorn Of her pupils
was ordered today by Superintendent
of Schools Thurston. Representative
Summers made the charges during a
debate on the District appropriation
bill. by stating that the Central High
School teacher tells her pupils that
Congress Is made UP Of second rate
lawyers and grafters.
Astounded by the accusations, Supt.
Thurston, Immediately on his arrival
at his office today. notified Robert A.
Maurer. principal of Central High
School, to make a rigid probe, and
after ascertaining the facts report to
him. In notifying Principal Maurer,
the superintendent told him that If
in person, but If not. a formal state
ment will be satisfactory
"Untrue," Principal Believes.
After a brief examination of the
teacher, whose name was withheld,
Principal Maurer expressed the opin-
ion that the charges were untrue" )"
but. with the teacher in question, went
" representative summers once 1Or
a conference.
Representative Summers told Mr..
Meurer at the conference that he did
not intend to discuss the case further,
and would put it in the hands Of school
authorities to settle. There will be
nothing more coming from me on The
case" the representative said after the
conference.
The charges made by Representa-
tive Summers caused a sensation in
school circles today. because of the
previous agitation over the case of
Miss Alice L. Wood, the Western
High School teacher. who was sus-
pended for week last March by the
board of education for alleged indis-
Greet discussion of bolshevism in
class. This case was taken to the
District Supreme Court by the school
teachers unions, and the board was
ordered to rescind its action.
Discuss Settlement of Case.
School off1cials and teachers inter-
ested in the new case expressed the
opinion today that. 1t will not be agi-
tated like the Wood case. It is obvi-
Gus that the teachers unions will not
enter into this controversy, and the
case will be amicably settled by Prin-
cipa1 Maurer and Supt. Thurston.
DR.. John Van Schaick. jr, president
Of the board Of education, declined to
discuss the case today, and would not
state whether it would be brought to
the attention Of the school board or
not. 1t is known, however, that. the
school board feels that it is not its
duty to enter into the discussion of
this case. and that 1t will be disposed
