CAPITOL THEATRE

Is there logical reason Why many
theatre patrons prefer comedy to
drama?
Certainly" says Farrell Macdon-
aid, starring In "Riley the Cop" di-
rected by John Ford. Human beings
cannot endure emotion at the highest
point for many moments at time.
It would be dangerous to sustain q
tragic crisis. ..>
In the. case Of comedy. in which
we are allowed much leeway, many
departures are possible. We can re-
fleet. we can clarity, we can even
point moral II we quite understand
the qualifications Of comedy.
I'VE seldom miss in comedy, II the
story Is sound and the direction al
that could be desired, and the reason
Is easily found. It's chief appeal IL
to the emotions. Hence we are
almost sure Of Z quick and sympa-
thetic response"
"Rtley the. Cop" is on the list Of
Fox productions scheduled to be
shown tonight ct the: Capitol theatre.

POLICE co ST S
MOUNTING

Operation of police depart
tnents in cities of over 10000 pop
ulation increased from $75. l4S,4OO
IA 1919. the last year before Of
ficial prohibition, to $1S4SO1, 500
In 1927. Bennet Mead, Of the
Census Bureau said today in an
analysis Of law enforcement.
A portion Of this increase since
prohibition was attributed to
growth of population, although
the per capita costs leaped from
$2.19 in 1919 to $432 In 1927, the
last year for which accurate
statistics were available, indicat-
Ing the aggravation of crime con-
ditions. aF
Listed By States
Prohibition costs were not listed
separately for the municipal alities,
although they were segregated i
by States. In 1927, for dry en-
forcement, State governments ex-
pended only 1888, 1855, compared
to $7,426,500 for other police ac-
tiVities. For prohibition 1924, $40
was spent for State enforcement
IN the East North Central States
and $128,149 in the South At
lantic, expenditures in other
groups having been comparatively
small.
Remarking that there have
been many changes of policy
relative to arrest and trial of per-
sons held for drunkenness, Mead
said:
Many, perhaps most, of the
statistics of persons charged, or
of arrests which are now avail
able in police reports cannot
safely be used to measure the
prevalence of the trend Of minor
offenses."
Mead called attention to the
policy at Detroit. From 1914 to
1918 the department in that city
usually held drunken persons I'M
til sober whereupon they were re-
leased without trial. In 1918
11,518 persons were released and
1888 held for trial. In 1919 the
policy was abandoned and q
greater number held for trial.
In 1926 the former policy was
resumed and in the following
year 17,721 arrested for drunken
ness were. released, and 4,313 held
for trial.
Comparative crime rates were
given in a number of cities for
1927. For the principal offenses
these rates per 100000 population
were:
Auto Thefts Many
Detroit. homicide 10, robbery 56,
larceny 81 and automobile theft

Baltimore, homicide 24.T, rob

The law firm OF Goltz, Schuyler

argue that the Willis-Campbell act

OF the United States applicable to
intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses which previously had been re-
pealed by the Volstead law. They
contend further that since the SUI

 In 1908 an international com mission was created to study conditions. Following it's unan- imous report and recommenda- tion, Canada and the United States drafted a treaty provid- ing for the preservation and propagation of sockeye in the Fraser River System. The gov ernment promptly ratified the treaty. The President trans mitted the treaty to the United States Senate. After two years delay the Senate refused to con- cur and the treaty was with drawn.
 In 1918 Canada and the United States again appointed a second international commission head ed by the Chief Justice of New Brunswick and the Secretary of Commerce of the United States. Tn accordance with the unani- nous recommendations of that commission second treaty was drawn which provided for "the times, seasons and methods for sockeye fishing in the Fraser River System" and flor the conduct of Investigations into the life-history of the salmon hatchery methods, spawning

Tragedy of the SOckeye By MT. BabcOck OI Canadian
 Fisheries

From then on conditions be- came even worse. Had the six millions of individual sockeye that went to make up the pack in 1917 been permitted to reach the spawning beds in that year, some of the loss occasioned by the 1913 blockade could have been recovered. But such was not the case. THE AUTHORI- TIES, AND THE FISHERMEN AND THE BANNERS on both the warning in the reports of sides of the line did not heed 1913. No additional protective measures were enacted and the fishermen and the canners spar ed no efforts to capture every last Sockeye in the run of 1917 with the inevitable result that the escapement of that year was no greater than it had been in recent small years and, in con- sequence, the spawning beds produced no greater returns. The catch four years later 1921 produced a pack of 142,- 596 cases.
 Washington State Refused Cooperation"
 The sOckeye salmon fisheries of the Fraser River System were not destroyed by the part ies in interest without vigorous protest from fishery authorities on both sides of the line. As early as 1905 a joint commission representing Canada and the State of Washington, after a full investigation of conditions unanimously recommended the cessation of all sockeye fishing in the system in the small years 1906 and 1908. The Commis- sion expressed the opinion that Iby 50 doing the runs in the fol- lowing cycle years would be ma terially increased. The closing was to be an experiment.; the runs at that period had not

ground conditions, and other relative matter.
 That treaty was promptly ap- proved by the government of Canada. The United States Senate again refused to concur and the President withdrew 1t.
 Nothing has since been ac- compished. The pitiful rem- nantS of the former abundant runs to the Fraser are still be- ing preyed upon by Canadian and United States fishermen, and the vast spawning areas of the Fraser basin unseeded and unprOductive.
 The Fraser River basin con- tainS 1,514,000 acres of spawning area. That area has not been lesSened or contaminated. It is as extensive and as suitable for the propagation as formerly. The vast lake waters of the Fraser are as rich in the natur- al foods of young sockeye as ev- CT. The channe1s of the river are open and free to the pass age of such fish as are permitted to enter them. All that is re- quired to produce the abundant runs of former years is a sufn- cient number of fish to seed them abundantly as they were seeded in those years. No other waters afford so alluring a field for exploitation.
 The restoration of the sockeye salmon fisheries of the Fraser River System is the greatest re- clamation project in which Ca nada and the United States can jointly engage.
