ONLY ONE ARREST, THAT
BEING FOR DRUNKENNESS

Yesterday was a notable one IN
local police history because of the
fact that only one arrest was made
for drunkenness. In former years
1t has been customary to have the
Jail rather crowded after Easter
owing to the unwise and excessive
celebrations INDUCED in by some of
the city's population. Some years,
especially before the passage of Mr..
Volstead's famous act, Easter Mon
day has seen the local ~"cooler" with
every cell occupied by at least one
hilarious merrymaker but the holi-
day just past resulted in a record of
but one arrest.
The police do not attribute the
fact to a sudden regard for the eigh-
teenth amendment or the part of
excessive drinkers but they think
the absence of drunkenness Is due
to the fact that most drinking is
done in private homes these days
and, therefore, a man with an extra
heavy cargo of 'hootch" aboard is
not compelled to navigate several
streets on his way home. He is there
already in most instances and all
that is necessary for the merrymak-
ers is to lie down where they are
and recover in peace and solitude.

CANNOT MAKE SANITARY
OFFICERS OUT OF COPS

A letter received by Chief of Po-
lice Niels j. Tonnesen this morning
from DR.. Charles Thompson. health
officer, contains a number OF sugges-
tons for the cooperation OF the
health authorities and the police de-
partment.
The letter stated that in accor-
dance with an ordinance enacted by
the Board of Health it Is necessary
for all dealers who sell milk or fish
to pay a license fee and display Ii
cense plates on each side OF the
vehicle in which they sell their
foodstuffs. DIR. Thompson says he
has been informed that while some
of the dealers in this class have IL
censes and the proper plates they DO
not display them according to regula-
lions and he asks that the chief
instruct his men to watch for such
violations and make arrests when
necessary. The case will then be
taken into the police court in the
regular
Chief Tonnesen said this morning
that he would cooperate with the
health authorities and would in
struct his men TO enforce the ordi-
nance in question.
The cooperation of the police Is
also asked in detecting small null
sances occurring around the city.
Particular cases cited by the health
officer include failure of residents TO
put their garbage out on the street
for collection and also failure to see
that the garbage is placed in proper
containers. DIR. Thompson points
out that the entire city will be much
cleaner If each patrolman assumes
care of his particular beat and sees
that health ordinances are enforced.
1t is suggested that the patrolmen
be made deputy sanitary officers
with W to enter homes for In
spection purposes. -.
Chief Tonnesen promised the
health board his full cooperation.
but said ii was improbable hat MS
men would be made sanitary officers
The chief maintains that his men
have always reported such violations
as have occurred on the streets Du,
he is not strongly in favor of having
the patrolmen investigate houses
and Yards O ntheir beats in addition
to their regular work.

SKATING MENACE ENDED;
BASEBALL KICKS NOW

Springtime means just one thing
after another at the police station.
The arrival of the first warm days
brought with them a cloud of Juve-
nile roller-skaters. who were accused
of disturbing the peace and destroy
ing the grass and hedges OF the city
and now the latest plant is that the
boys are playing baseball In the
streets. with the resulting casualties
among window panes and also
among rlckety fences that 1t becomes
necessary to scale when some Juve-
nile 'walloping Bambino" swats the
ball over a neighboring fence.
The roller-skating menace has been
effectively reduced by the police de.
partment and they are now ou'
after the baseball players. The ma
t.onal game is absolutely forbidden
in the streets Of the city, Chief Ton
nesen says, and his men have been
instructed as usual to put a stop
to the practice. Baseball and all
it's side lines will be confined to reg
uiar diamonds OF vacant lots large
enough to allow for long hits.

Mccormack a month & had an
attack of acute laryngitis while sing

New York he was to sing at the Hip

he was taken ill and for the first
time in thirteen. years forced to
