CASES NOW PENDING
ON CRIMINAL DOCKET |
INCREASE OVER 1922
More Vigorous Prosecution Or
Gain In Crime Reflected
By Records

Is crime on the increase in Jeffer-
son county? Or are petty violations
being prosecuted more vigorously in
1928 than in 1922? A survey of cases
now pending on the docket of the
criminal division of the circuit court
shows there wewc 294 more cases on
hand May l, 1o-o, than there We're
May L 1922.
ON May /. 1922. there were 245o
cases pending, while on May l, 1928,
there were 2,744. Cases on that date
in 1922 were: Capital II; felonies,
593; misdemeanors. 451; statutory, z;
city appeals. 1887. and 2S5 cases
in which condemnation proceedings
were pending. Cases on the same
date in 1923 were as follows: Capt.
tai, -; felonies, e71; misdemeanors,
4e2 statutory, IA; city appeals, 1,31S,
ard condemnation proceedings, 207.
The fact that there were PSI more
city appeal cases in 1928 than in
1922 on May i. would seem to in
dictate that there has been little in
crease in cases where serious
charges were made. OF the ~ cap
ital cases shown on hand on May l.
1928, it is estimated that fully half
are pending in the court of appeals
and supreme court

MARY PIckFoRD LOSES A CURL BY MISTAKE

If you had curly hair that WIS wosth $20,000 a curl and somebody cut off ringlet by mistake, what would you do?
 Mary Pickford has the most exten- siye and expensive collection of curls in captivity, and during the filming of Little Lord Fauntleroy'' her brother, Jack. who with Alfred F. Green, directed this picture, acci- densally cut off one of Mary's $20,0oo curls
 It happened thusly: As Little Lord Fauntleroy,' Miss Piellford is supposed to have her hair cut, the little Lord. it seems, had always ob- jec.ed very much to his curls. He wanted his hair cut short like other boys. While rehearsing the scene ia which this ambition is fulfilled, Jack was showing the man who played the part of the barber how the trick should be done. and 10, the scissors slipped and whack went a golden curll Then things happened.

Frazier says in the circular letter

is not expected that the advcrtis-

Senator Frazier is not a news
