cers and elaborate preparations are being made for that evening. The members of the Ladies Society of the B. of L F. and E. will meet tomorrow afternoon, January 3rd to make arrangements for the meetln .; of the Brotherhood in the evening when there will be joint installation of officers.
Secretary Oscar Hoclurt of the Hammold police today issued a statement
for the city council which meets this evening, giving in summary the activities of the department for 191fi a yuar featured by three murders, of which tho slaving of Frank Holder on Conkey avenue, was tho most sensational. The report is of great length and covers all phases of the year's work. Simultaneously with the announcement of the report Officer' Bunde brought back from Meridian, Miss.. Frank Peyton, the negro charged with the killing of Mrs. Alma Smart, a negresR, in October of this year at a hotel for colored people- on Hohman .street. Peyton admits be shot the woman but pleads self defense. A charge of minder Is to tie filed direct in thp superior court and the po. ice are confident they can disprove the selfdefense charge by proving that Peyton planned the crime. The capture of Peyton is the last
and crowning act of the police for the year which was an exceedingly busy one for the f epartment. Sixteen hundred and twenty-four arrests were made during 1916 in Hammond anil of these prisoners. l,f.94 were males. 3rt females, and 1602 had common . school education. Eleven hundred and thirty-one were Americans ami 93 foreigners. At the lodging room 5,081 were sheltered during the
year. The number of arrests greatly j exceeds any previous year while the lodgers were fewer. Of those arrest-; ed during the year 51 were colored. There were 664 laborers, two each of doctors, brokers, and dentists, four lawyers, elecen saloonkeepers, five telegraph operators, eight bartenders, seven ailors. and thirty-four salesmen among those arrested. Nine hundred and eighty-five individuals were arrested for Intoxication, the great majority of these being known in parlance as "floaters." There were 126 arrests for speeding. 15 for gambling, 12 for fighting. 16 for grand larceny, .IS for violation of city ordinances and 15 for carrying concealed weapons. Of those arrested. .S22 were released. 311 paid fines, 207 were discharged. 129 went to the county jail in default of fines, 9 appealed. 16 were
dismissed, 16 had fines and sentences suspended, 37 were bound over to the, superior court and two defaulted their bonds.
writer's judgment and not the general concensus that "things go along smoother when every one attend strictly to his own business." What a world we would have if that were the. case! No civic or moral movements would ever have been achieved if most people believed such a philosophy. Then Mr. Mayer dashes cold water on the Sunday closing in Chicago. It is reported on good authority that out of 7.000 saloons in the city there Is a perceptably small number that sneakingly violate tho law. The fact that
so very many saloons are closed on
Sunday throughout our country shows that the closing law can be kept and enforced if police officers and liquor dealers see fit. Ho makes an astonishing statement that if the saloons are closed on Sunday there will be more drunkenness than ever. The opposite case is actually proved in hundreds of our cilies where the Sunday closing law is observed. And worst of all, our friend says that even if you prohibit the manufacture of liquors, a man wil go and get a drink when he wants it. We are led to inquire humorously, "where will he go?" These are individual problems, but also social problems. That latetr point Mr. Mayer misses when he says that all we have to do is live a cb-an life and see that our children do, and vice will naturally die. I hardly think he assumes the saloon to be a vice: 1 deny emphatically that . the churches go to saloon interests for contributions. I wish Mr. Mayer might get the opinion of the twenty-five or thirty ministers of Hammond on that matter. He might see how ill advised it is to speak from preconceived notions. f Let me say here that the immediate question before us is not one of national or state-wide prohibition or
local ontion. We siinmlv rrn-mt t-Hr. I
observance of the ntate law. The sa-loon-kenpers association ought to take the lead in this matter. They are doing so in many places. Some very-
large brewery and distillery associations are sending out circulars urging saloon keepers not to prejudice their case by openly violating state laws. Yours truly, TADMAGE WITT.

H, Grant!"
called Mansfield, city
editor ot The Chronicle, "you be the goat, will you? There's a nut outside wants to Bee me." Tommy Grant, police reporter, groaned comically, for he was all too familiar with the cranks, inventors and plain lunatics
that haunt newspaper offices. Nevertheless he added a lina or two to tha atory he was working on. handed it to the. copy boy and went out to the visitor's room obediently. A wild ayed, disheveled looking man was pacing up and down nervously, and at once plunged Into a solemn warning concerning the polica parade scheduled to take place next day. It must be stopped: Unde no circumstances must there be a parade! "I. Jean Murot, tell you!" he cried, smiting himself on the breast. "Yes, but why not?" asked Grant practically. "I cannot tell you more, m'aleur. My life ees In dangaire!" The roan was serious enough, at all events. Grant soothed him with a promise to print the warning, and Murot took his departure. Three mlnutea later Murot was lying, mortally wounded, In front of Th Chronicle building and there had been no sound of a shot! "Black Hand!" pronounced Cadogan, chief of detectives, when he arrived on the scene within a few minutes. The police reporter, who had run downstairs on hearing the commotion below, looked doubtful and told what he knew of the man, but Cadogan ecoffed. "We hear the same kind of stuff every year," ha grunted. But Grant was not satisfied, and when the ambulance arrived he started with It for the hospital, hopinir to get a statement from the wounded man. He was back at the office before long more puzzled than
ever. Jean Murot had died on the way. "What d'you make of that?" he asked Mansfield, holding out a small gray marble painted with a band of red. "He tried to give It to me and to tell me something before he went out, but was too far gone." Mansfield started to take the marble, but It dropped to the floor. As he. reached for it he knocked over a heavy type-metal paperweight. Grant picked up the weight and there lay the marble, crushed to powder. With a grunt of disgust he gathered up the remains on a piece of paper. A moment later he gave an exclamation and picked a tiny capsule out of the powder. It contained a tightly rolled slip of thin paper. Reporter and editor studied this, and looked at each other with serious faces. "There was something to that warning after all," Grant said slowly. "Guess I'd better look this up." It proved to be a tedious job. He located a disreputable looking house in Carmine street without difficulty, but there he was at a standstill. After some thought he hired a room In a lodging house across the street where he could watch without suspicion, but It took an all night vigil and many pipes of tobacco to get results. At last, however, tired and sleepy, he saw
the door open cautiously and a girl came
cut carrying a handbag. At once the reporter's weariness vanished. He snatched his hat and ran down
to the street just in time to see her disappear around the corner. After a chase of
a couple of blocks she paused, evidently
waiting for a car, and Grant seized the
epponunity to telephone Cadogan from a cirug store. There was a brief but earnest conference, and then as the girl caught her car and It sped down the street he hung up the receiver and ran to the nearest taxi stand. "Follow that car," he told the drix-er of the first machine, ard got in. The chase led to the business district and ended In front of an office building, which the girl entered. As Grant paid the
taxi driver and hurried after her he bearrt the sound of a brass band up the street and slarted. The police parade was already approaching and would pass thif building! Grant went Into the building just in time to see the girl shoot up in an elevator He had to take the same one to be certain of where she had got off, and by tho time he reached the top floor, her destination, she was out of sipiht. She had gone to the roof, he concluded, and tried the door. Jt was locked, and the key was on the far side. What was he to do? For the next few moments he thought more swiftly, probably, than he ever had done In his life before. There was no time to call the elevator boy and get tho superintendent of ti e building to force the door; the police parade would be here in a very few minutes now. Already h: could hear the band that headed it. Ot. the other hand he could not rush down to the street and stop the parade before it reached the building, for ti e simple reason that he had very little more than a suspicion to go on. The girl might have a perfectly legitimate reason for getting out on the roof. And yet again, if l is suspicions were oorreet it would tie almost as dangerous to attempt to capture iier by force as to leave her unniole"ted. She must be take;; by surprise. Rut how? "If you can't go through or over or under, go round," he thought. He could not force this door, it was too solidly buil". and opened inward anyhow. And to go around a closed door And suddenly the solution occurred to him. At the far end of the hall was a closet with odds and ends of stuff to be seen through the untidily open door. It probably belonged to the janitor. And at the other end was a window. Grant leaped for the cupboard and found what he had hoped for. a good sized coil of stout rope. Working with frantic haste, and, yet carefully, for he knew what a mistake would mean, he made a shipshape running noose in the end. Then he tore open the window and leaned out. The parade would pass in the street on the other side of the building. Belov.
many stortes down, was a tangle of refuse, old boxes and the like, in the rear of the place. Above was the ornate cornice that fringed the roof. Fastening the end of the rope firmly around his waist and holding to the top of the window. Grant stood on the ledge, swung the noose around his head and flung it upward. The first cast was a failure, and as the rope snaked downward the jerk of its weight as nearly as possible drew the reporter with it. He hauled it In again hurriedly and readjusted the noose. Time enough to think about narrow escapes when the work was done. This time the noose caught on one cf the pointed ornaments of the cornice, and held. Grant tested it, then unfastened the fmd from his waist, swung outward and began to climb hand over hand. The risk was terrible; a sheer drop of a hundred and fifty feet below and no way of getting buck. But he thought of the girl and the coining policemen and kept ahead. A moment later he had scrambled over the cornice and was on the roof. Before htm the deckhouse cut off the view of the front of the bui.ding. A ladder led to the top of this, and Grant ran up It like a squirrel. Sure enough, there was the girl he had followed, leaning over the cornice in front with her hand drawn back to throw This was no time for finesse. Grant stepped back and made a firing leap that landed him with a crish beside and almost on top of the girl. Next moment he had her helpless. Half an hour later at Headquarters Cadogan was scratching his head. "How'd you get onto that bunch of 'Reds' in Carmine street?" he demanded. "Oh, we got 'em all right." Grant held out - a tiny curl of paper. "This was In a marble m Murot's pocket. It's his official emergency certificate as an Anarchist, dated from Carmine street. That girl tells me she shot Murot with this," and he laid an automatic equipped with a silencer on the desk. "And she all but dropped this on the parade." Beside the pistol he placed gingerly wicked looking bomb.

At the meeting of Germania bekah lodge this evening at
Moltke I. O. O. F. hall in State street the officers for the coming term will be instilled.
vided the city into sections and the population into classes for organization on a house to house and man to man basis. Mrs. William Asher, for instance, has charge of all work among New York scrubwomen, domestics, factory girls and hospital nurses. No one has been neglected. Uible meeting? and song services will be held daily on the New York curb and at the portals of the New York Stock Exchange. Wall Street will be combed for the spiritually unwashed. That work is even now under way. Fnquestionably, Sunday faces the. chance of a lifetime in New York. Here will be Broadway, Citadel of Champagne and home of The Sinful Supper; Wall Street, whoso hall mark is Midas shearing a Iamb; Bohamia, with its loose leaf ledger weddings, its lavender souls and sun god cults; the slums, steeped in squalor and degradation from which uptown respectability distills pure gold; the home of the
gunman with his regular scale of murder prices and of the painted laly who drives her limousine and reckons
her income in six figures. All these and more are. here for Sunday to deal with. Homer Rodeheaver, Sunday's choir director, expects to organize a double choir of 8,000 to 10,000 voices. George G. Powie will lead the prize trail hitters from Philadelphia and elsewhere, some of them having- been covered seven years ago. These will be used to prove that Sunday conversions are not "flash in the pan" work. Nothing is being left undone to pave the way for Sunday's triumphant advance upon New York; nor, on the other hand, is anything left undone to circumvent his efforts.
