Boys Most Hake Good Had it not leen for a case continued from last Sat urday. the juvenile court would have had a vacation this morning, an unusual occurrence. Three boys who were up for bicycle thefts were ordered to pay $32 damages, to the owners of -Ihe wheels, and were given.- a chance to be good. The quietness of the juvenile court is laid to the extreme desire of boys and girls to.be good just before Christmas that Sari t a might remember them.

It is to be noted, however, that the fact of- quickest comprehension' in a study of local police administration is the contrast between the number of ar rests made and the convictions had. Reference to Table I will show that 1604 women were arrested, in 18 months. and, including item "ball forfeited," 913 were convicted, or 60.70 Pf cent Table VI, dealing with men culprits under the same general class of offense, shows a total of 872 arrests, -with Z13 convic tions, or 68.70 per cent Combining the tortti or these two tables mere are is .9 arrests, with 1126 convictions, or 60 per cent, a little more than half. Aside from these generalizations the commission in the course of its investigations gathered numerous cases of arrests made in raids upon notorious places wherein ; there were wholesale dismissals. Italic Policy Scored, v "The commission holds it to be a fair assumption that where arrests are made from an individual house on an average of one every six . months the record establishes the disrepute of the place. Further, where as many as 10 or 12 arrest's are made at different times dur ing that period from the one house there can be no question concerning the character of the house. As a matter of fact, this conclusion is borne out by checking of. arrests against the records of the various houses as appears in the data gathered, by the commission. It is clear that there is not suincient, per slstency against these places. The fact that arrests are made from a house ox Indefensible character now, six months, eight months and a year from now. and the bouse is still in business; evidences the utter futility of the present police policy." Taking up the reasons for ineiitciency, the report deals with the confusion of authority., following to the consequence that policemen do not have a feeling of personal responsibility to anyone in au thority and in the performance of their duty "naturally consider its possible ef feet on their personal fortunes, as it may be viewed by the chief, by the police committee, by the mayor, by the civil service ' commission ' and by tne circuit court in the background." " BTo Evidence of Graft "found. Graft is, said to be an incident, no evidence being found of any organized system of graft collection. During the course of the commission s work 118 Instances were reported where police "protection" was claimed by the dis orderly element in which IS officers were named, mostly plain clothes men. In one case, used as an illustration, a woman who says she made $13,000 in 18 months, only two arrests were made, and in these cases fines amounting to $160 imposed. Concluding that graft exists, the commission says It is con fined to individual officers or small groups. Operation of the civil service with re spect to the police Is criticized, because under the present law it hampers dis cipline.

C, says the supreme court has set the hearing of the case of the Southern Pa cific vs. Portland in the matter of the Fourth street franchise, for January . The court originally intended to defer the case until January 20, but advanced It on account of the great distance trav. eled by the city attorney and the attor ney for the railroad company. V Want Itinerant Merchants Barred. fHfce Manufacturers' association, through ffled a petition to the city council asking that an ordinance be passed forbidding sales of merchandise by itinerant mer chants. The council can do this, in ef fect by establishing a sufficiently high license for such flitting salesmen to make it unprofitable for them to trans act business here in competition with resident merchants. , City to Utilise Prisoners, Owing to refusal of the county court to use city prisoners at the Llnnton rock quarry for the next two months, the city will be nut to an additional expense of $860 for salaries to five guards stationed at the quarry, The city will continue to utilise the prisbners and all the rock crushed during the next two months will be stored for future municipal use.
