VIOLATIONS Of

Increase in Arrests and Con-

Probation Officer.

More attention is paid TO the drug
evil and its effect on those un-
fortunates who have been placed on
probation than 10 any other feature
coming under his jurisdiction, Pro-
baton Officer Amos A. Steel OF the
District Supreme Court said in his
annual report made yesterday to
Chief Justice Mccoy.
Mr.. Steele say there has been no
perceptihle increase In any one class
OF offense, except in violations Of
the anti-narcotic law. There has
been a marked increase in arrests
and convictions Of these offenders.
While comparatively few have been
placed on probation, I regret TO re-
port large percentage of violations
of probation by this class"
1t would be unfair to these un.
fortunates. according to the proba.
ton officer, to assume that they
wilfully break their probation.
Many of them make honest efforts
to divorce themselves from the drug
habit" says Mr.. Steel. "and some
of them succeed, at least for a
time. But one who has used drugs
for years seems to lack the will and
physical stamina necessary to a
complete abstention from the use
of these tissue-destroyipg drugs"
Victims to Be Pitied.
"Of all offenders" pleads the
probation officer who has made a
most searching inquiry into the
matter, these victims are the most
to be pitied. and at the same time
are the most difficult to help.

penal servitude, or by the leniency

Speaking of other probationers,
Probation Officer Steele says that
the results have fulfilled reason
able expectations" He declares
that a small number do not report
regularly; some OF them 20 from

that failure to work, and especially
the lack Of desire to work. are the
