SET RECORD

An UNSURPASSED record for arrests
has been made during the past
month by, the Police Department.
it was learned today from Major
Edwin B. Hesse. superintendent of
police.
Including 6,911 arrests for traffic
offenses, 11.275. persons fell afoul
the law during the month OF March,
and Hesse plainly admitted that
he was viewing the situation with
alarm.
While he realizes that any viola.
tor of the statutesS or the traffic
regulations should be punished,
Jesse declared that he is not proud
of the record made by his depart
ment during the month.
Counting the arrests made during
January. February and March, it

decline in arrests is expected during
April, it is said.
To discount the impression that
Washington is viciously lawless
city, Hesse declared that of the
arrests made during the past three
months only 1892 were for feionies

of the minor type of offense.
Although Traffic Director Ed

the installation of warning card

totals which are staggering police

enough.
Hesse indicates that the care
submitted by Eldridge did not con
tain enough cases for which a viola

to make up $21 500 lacking in the
$50 900 fund sought by the Assoc
ciated Charities in its Eastern cam

this morning that there now Is
grave danger that its work will
have to be materially curtailed this
year, even though the demands
upon it are increasing.

registered up to noon today, al.
though 10000 had been sought in
the two weeks campaign. This
Is $50 fewer contributors than en-
rolled during the Easter drive last
year, although the need for funds
has been greater than ever before.
A special meeting. to discuss
plans for meeting the emergency
occasioned by the slowness of the
contributions, will be held at 4:S0
this afternoon at the Social Service

Butte, March 22.-Joe Sinkovich,
Sr., go, and his son-in-law, Herbert
IO'Neil, both were wounded through
the shoulder, and Pearl O'Neill, the
latter's wife, escaped through the ac-
ton of her 10-yearold son, Charles,
who knocked aside the gun alleged to
have been welded by Joe Sinkovich,
Jr., after he had shot his father and
brother-in-law and leveled the weapon
at his sister, here Monday night.
The shooting, which occurred at the
Sinkovich home, was said to have been
the outgrowth eff a divorce action in
the district court, when Sinkovich's
father was granted a divorce in Judge
William E. Carols court last Deem
Der.
Sinkovich, Jr., according to the
story told by the wounded man at the
hospital, entered his fathers home
and leveling the weapon, first shot his
father. In another moment he had
turned the gun on his brother-in-law
sending bullet through his left
shoulder.
The gun was then said to have been
pointed at his sister. An instant be-
fore the third shot was fired, Charles,
Mrs. O'NeilPs 10-year-old son, sprang
forward and struck the gun aside. The
bullet missed its mark and was buried
in the kitchen floor.
