saloons in any Section Of the city to
purchase drink-and obtain one
without difficulty. The same was
true of disorderly houses and, to a
lesser degree, Of gambling houses.
Now, at the end Of 1924, liquor
still flowed, but a stranger could not
purchase a drink. Such places as
still operated did so in the utmost
secrecy. No longer would anyone
walking through the streets of the
tenderloin be annoyed by women.
And the enforcement of police
from politics. Much had al
ready been accomplished through
suspensions, demotions and transfers

was about % per cent less than In
the twelve' preceding months.
The vice activity of the year will
indicate, in great measure, why and
how crime was thus reduced.
Comparative statistics are the best
guide.
In 1923 police raided 400 disorder
ly houses. In 1924 the records show
1,049 such places raided. Raids on
speakeasies increased more than ten
fold; from 22O in 1923, to 2,5e6 in
1924. Raids on gambling dens more
than doubled.
Heavy Liquor Seizure
More than 100000 worth of
liquor was seized by police, while
stills, motor vehicles and other par
aphernalia seized was valued at an
other 100000.
The arrests in 1924 totaled 129, 403
as compared with $4,000 in 1928;
an increase of about forty a day. OF
the number arrested, more than
half, or 53,74S, were on charges OF
intoXication.
The other arrests are rather inter
esting and indicative Of the life of a
city. Arrests for violation of the
State dry act numbered, $685.; 2,46S
as inmates of disorderly houses, ITO
as proprietors; 1906 as frequenters
Of gambling houses and 2S1 as pro-
prietors of gambling houses; 500 as
dope addicts and peddlers.
More than 1000 motorists were
arrested during the year on charges
of speeding and reckless driving. OF
this huge number only a few were
even fined. AS a result of automo-
bile and street accidents, 5,277 mo-
florists were arrested on charges of
assault and battery by automobile.
Orders Carried Out
I consider that l had carried out
the instructions given me by the
mayor. Crime had been reduced ma
terially during a year when crime
in other great cities had increased.
Vice had been bitterly fought and
conditions improved The change
was readily apparent. In 1928 a
stranger could walk into any one Of
a thousand or more speakeasies and

was almost completed. The new year
with council having approved the re-
organization of the personnel so as
to fit in with the redistricting plans,
would soon see the enforcement
carried as far as humanity possible.
Considerable time was spent
early in the administration in
arranging to have stores sell more
cheaply to members oil the police
force, and the Chamber of Com
merce, it must be said to it's credit,
helped in the preparation of that
plan, but when it was finally con-
summated the police did not take
kindly to the idea.

One less hold-up a day!

One less hold-up a day!
That was the record of the police
during 1924, as compared to 1928.
A hold-up is known in police
circles as the "key" crime. Hold.
up statistics are indicative Of crime
activity. Hold-ups include what are
described as highway robberies and
stick-ups in stores-always with
guns in evidence.
Hold.ups are the most feared of
crimes, by citizens, for the hold.
up man carries a revolver.
In 1923, the year before I took
office, there were 9S5 hold-ups in
Philadelphia. In 1924 the number
had been. decreased to 635, a re.
duction of $50.
Robberies, the next most serious
of crimes, were reduced by some
200.
Auto Thefts Drop
Automobile thefts decreased during
that twelve-month period from
$3.50 to 2,4S6-in other words,
almost two less automobiles a day.
At the same time, arrests of
criminals increased. In 1923, with
9S5 hold-ups, police arrested 374
crooks in connection with those
crimes. In 1924, with but 635 hold
ups, police arrested 492.

we feel safe to say that the citizens
of Laurel, as whole are now think
ing of the school as an institution not
for one section of the city, but for
Laurel. All Laurel is turned toward
Queensburg, and should be. The
school and community plan when fully
worked out, will be the making of
new epoch in the forward march of
our people. No such plan has ever
been carried so far yet. And every
Negro in the State should sit up and
take notice, and be ready to do his bit
and thereby reap the good to be de-
rived therefrom. The contractors are
now grading the new streets, and
parks and beautiful lots are being laid
off. Everything is working in perfect
harmony, may it remain so. Let us
all be ready and waiting to do our

South Side Notes

Friday after noon October 18th,
was gala day as for AS literary abili-
ties were concerned. The students
of the library were greatly favored
by literary production from great
authors, with representatives from
grades 6, Z, 8, and 9th. Not only
did they carry us back to time of
Tinnison etc. but, Beethoven and
Listz were awaken in some beautiful
musical selections.
The birth of the Library Ledger and
the weekly stars newspaper cotton
out entirely by the competent staff,
members of the eighth grade class
was more than a treat. The reports
from each were read by theirefficient
editors, Mr.. William Andrews and
Miss Elmanora Davis. Each Friday
we will be favored with such pro-
grams. The public is cordially invit-
ed and especially do we urge the
parents to come. Each Friday after

Mr.. A. White, well known citizen of

the opening of his new store on
Crawford Street between 9Th and 9th
Avenues, in the Wausau section of

WATCH WORK AND PRAY
BY FARMER jim

The only way see now for my
people during this critical moment,
is to work and pray.
We fail most all the time because
we fail to work, work with whole
mind and strength.
The First thing out, we must know
what we are working for and why
we are working for that particular.
We have been watching without
working or working without watching
and praying without working. To
succeed, | have found it to be true
that the three must be placed in act
