.The following represents extracts
from comments of Chief of Police
Ferry on the various situations:
Vagrancy
"The law bearing on vagrant ha
been energetically enforced. There
have been 179 vagrants arrested dur
ing the year. The unwillingness on
the part of good citizens to testify In
behalf of thin class of offenders seri
ously Interferes with the chances of se
curing convictions In the Police court.
Traffic laws
"The police department mads a
special effort, to enforce all traffice
laws and ordinances and we feel proud
of the fact that notwithstanding the
fact that Ashevllle was crowded with
visitors during ths past summer, we
passed through the entire season with
out any serious accident In ths busi
ness section of ths city. Thar were
511 arrests mads for violators of the
stats and city trafflo law.
Prohibition.
"With ths help of the anti-jus; law
recently enacted by the state legisla
ture we think that ws havs been able
to reduce the Illicit sale of liquor to
a minimum. The present method em
ployed by Judge J. Krazler Oleen In
requiring defendants In ths Police
court charged with drunkenness to give
ths names of parties from whom they
havs purchased Intoxicating liquors Is
not only tending to make sober, In
dustrious citizens of' men who have
heretofore been habitual drunkards
but It Is leading to the prosecution
and conviction of a great many vio
lators of ths prohibition law.
Detective
. Ths members of the detective du
partment under ths command of Chief
Detective Chas. N. Lomlnac havs per
formed their duties In a most satisfac
tory manner and this department,
while only lately installed, has more
than proven Its value in the appren
sion of criminals wanted for the com
mission of serious offenses.
A Police Signal Service
'"Again I wish to call to your at
tention our great need of a police sig
nal and telephone service. Under the
present arrangements It Is neccessary
for the sergeants on the receipt of a
call for an officer, or some other com
plaint over the telephone, to leave the
station and deliver the call In person
to the officer from whose beat the call
Is received and in case the call Is re
ceived from the cotton mill or depot
section. It is sometimes necessary for
the sergeant to call many citizens be
fore he will be able to locate the
policeman on the beat In many cases
this means serious delay and puts ob
stacles In the way of apprehending
criminals and protecting life and prop
erty; "Therefore I respectfully recom
mend to your honorable body the In
stitution of a police signal and tele-
phone service with at least five sta
tions located as follows: Intersection
of Pack square and Patton avenue;
intersection of Biltmore avenue an
Sycamore street; Intersection of Pat
ton avenue and Haywood street: at the
cotton mill; at the passenger depot."

This case has attracted no little at

fined for this nt a hearing before a
Justice of the peace a few days later.

when the assault was made, ani there
was another charge thnt she was
struck by the defendant while he was
getting to her husband. This case was

introduced Wednesday afternoon, and
yesterday there wore arguments by a
number of attorneys who had been
employed In the case, both for the de

number of people here who had fol
lowed the hearing closely.
