ARRESTS OF YEAR
TOTAL ONE-FOURTH
D. c. POPULATION
New Crime Recording SyS-
tenn Shows 108,305 Per-
sons Were Arrested.
INCREASE is SHOWN
OVER PRECEDING PERIOD
Jump in Figure Seen Largely Due
to Apprehensions for Mis-
demeanors.

A total Of 108, sos persons, represent
ing nearly fourth of the population OF
the District, were arrested by members
of the Metropolitan police force in the
fiscal year ended June 80 last, according
to report submitted to Supt. Henry G.
Pratt today by Capt. l.. I. A. Edwards,
personnel officer of the department.
These 10S,305 persons we're responsible
for 124,284 cases entered on the police
records for all offenses.
The introduction in the last fiscal
year of new system of statistical re-
cording enabled Capt Edwards to deter
mine for the first time the actual num-
Der of persons arrested in 12-month
period. Heretofore, the records have
shown only the number of cases entered
on the police records, and since some
of those arrested are charged with more
than one offense, the department could
not tell from the records the actual
number of arrests.
A wide difference in these two items
is shown in the latest report of Capt.
6QWdIQS, III JIlG ldSt llSCdl ytdIs AOl
instance the persons arrested numbered
108 .305. while the cases entered against
them totaled 124.284, difference of
1879.
Police Assume Increase.
Lacking statistics for comparison
of the number of arrests last year with
those in the 1929 fiscal year, the re-
port, however, shows that the number
of cases entered in 1880 outnumbered
by 2,256 those in the preceding year.
Police officials, therefore, assume there
was a corresponding increase in the
number of arrests
The increase in the number OF cases
last year over those in 1929 is reflected
chiefly in the instantaneous. Last
year there were 43,774 cases of misde-
meanors, which includes drinking in
public and intoxication, compared with
2,571 in the preceding year Arrests
for misdemeanors last year totaled ST.
$40.
Traffic Shows Increase.
Increases also are shown in the num-
Der of cases of liquor law violations and
traffic offenses. In 1929 there were
5,247 cases of violations of the Volstead
act, compared with 5,557 for the last
fiscal year, an increase of $40. The
arrests for liquor violations last year
totaled 3,447.
Gases represented by traffic violations
last year totaled 60,967 an increase of
1880 over 1929. The number of per-
sons arrested for traffic offenses was
$500
A decrease is shown, however, in
cases involving felonies. The report
lists 4,061 felony cases in 1929 and
4,057 last year, reduction of four.

Aroused by the increasing number
of murders of prohibition agents. Amos
w. W. Woodcock, director Of Volstead
enforcement, urged the States today to
prosecute the slayers vigorously.
His attention had been called to the
killing of John @. Fienello during a
brewery raid yesterday in Elizabeth,
N. j.
II hope to do two things" he as
serted. "First, I hope by administer
ing the law so decently and honestly to
get a greater respect for the law on
the part of the public. Second, I ask
the State authorities generally to Wig
orously prosecute the murderers."
Unless killing Of prohibition agent
takes place on a Federal reservation,
Col Woodcock explained, the only
charge which the United States can
make against the suspected murderer
is assault on a Federal officer" fol-
which the maximum sentence is 10
years. But the State. he explained
can prosecute for murder.
Col. Woodcock said he would per-
sonally go into the Staying Of Agent
Fienello when he goes TO Philadelphia

RIDICULES REPORTS
OF FASCIST 'PUTSCH'
Prussian Government Denies Any
Signs That Uprising
Is Imminent.
BY the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, September 20.-Reports of
an impending Fascist "putSch" today
were officially branded by the PrusSian
government and the federal minister Of
interior as devoid of the slightest
foundation.
The authorities, it was stated, are
watching both FasciStS and Communists
closely, knowing exactly their intentions
and their equipment for possible trouble.
There were no signs, the denial con-
tinues, that an uprising is imminent.
The Prussian police, who are said to
be thoroughly republican, found no
evidence of secret military drill by
FasciSts, nor a rush to stores which
sell weapons as reported in one section
of the German press, and say they are
convinced that the Fascists have no
arms to speak of.
Authorities assert that the reports of
putsch we're launched by Communists
and express regret that the bourgeoise
press gave them cre6ence.

Although the rains injured to-

The Valley is moving bunch crops
such as beets and carrots earlier

but rains did considerable damage
to eggplant, squash and beans
which usually make up early move

given as a reason by Mr.. Etchison

still being behind the previous sea-
