McLaughlin went entirely too far on the modesty aide hen he did not incorporate In his introduction specimen figures Illustrating the Increase In convictions an.1 impositions of sentences of imprisonment in 1926 over those In li. Increased arrests do not always mean Increased crimes. They may mean increased energy and competency In hunting down criminals after the police Department has been notified of the crimes. Decrease, hi Pnll Klfeetlve. More convictions and more exemplary prison sentences mean one of two things, or both: Decrease in the power of pull te InBnence the police against proper Investigation and prosecution, or better preparation of cases for the District Attorneys.

Then again a falling off in arrests may mean that the police and the courts have tamed or deterred the criminals, especially when It 1 apparent that the policing and prosecution are more ably conducted than when arrests were more numerous. Here are some of the statistics from Mr. McLaughlin's report upon arrests, convictions and punishments FOR 75 BROOKLYN BLOCKS PROPOSED: Darwin R.

Approximately 75 blocks in the Williamsburg anil Navy Yard sections are available for the construction i.f model tenement, according to a recent surey conducted by Iar- in 11.

James, chairman of the Slate Kuartl of Mr. Janus. vlif Is also head of the llruoklyn Hurra of Charitler and president of the Kast River Savins Institution, briefly referred to the buro Hituation last night during a discussion of the State's campaign to provide better homes for "white collar" workers, at the Women's City Club, 55 Park Manhattan. Mrs. H.

Mr. James urged the investment of private capital In a State-sponsored limited dividend corporation as an Initial step In a campaign to clear up the slums.

He declared that the Investment of private funds in the housing program, with New York realty values as collateral, represented sounder business Judgment than the Investment of private funds In the Port Authority. He recently urged Governor Fmith. he said, to undertake the task of securing the 26.O0O,OOO private fund at a salary of (100,000 a year. Ho pointed out to the ernor. bo declared, that the people had implicit faith tn his honesty and ability, and, because of his long residence on the east side, the depositors in that section would be anxious to Invest their money In Htate-sponsored project with which he was connected.

Mr. James stressed the Investment of private capital and attacked the plan of August Heckscher as offering no new contribution toward a solution of the housing problem. Need for Private Enterprise. "Unless private enterprise the Job there will be no new homes built in the congested tenement districts for many years to come," he continued. "We might Just as well get that clear right now.

Of late the public mind baa been confused on this housing problem by reason of the plans advanced by well-intentioned citizens such as August Heckscher, Saul Singer and others. Although these plans may differ in detail, they are alike in that they rest on the proposal that the State and municipality provide private housing with public funds. "Such proposals wave aside inconsequential obvious legal difficulties and possible constitutional obstacles and disregard the fact that any plans for the appropriation of public funds for private purposes may be repugnant to the popular will and opposed to American theories of the function of government. Anrf to Sir Baummmm fewth knight of tfm font for ttm favor of thmdtmomml" lady's' favor' By THOHS 8. RK Vlien Police Commissioner George V.

Mclaughlin released on Feb. 11 his report of the work of the Greater New York Police Department for the first year of his Incumbency, Jan. 1 to Lvc. 31, inclusive. 192, all of the newspapers pointed out the most startling figures, which dealt with robbery, homicide, and demon strated a great advance in police efficiency during the year, but no one took the trouble to analyze all the figures.

Such analysis reveals that in get ting results, both as regards arrests and the matter of obtaining convic tions with real penalties, the activi ties of the police In 192S were so far ahead of those in 1 925. the last year of Kichard K. L'nright's eight-year incumbency as Commiasioner, that the average citizen must be aston ished. Record Amazes Observers. Mr.

McLaughlin, in a supple mental report released Feb. 11, showed that assault and robbery had decreased 63 percent in January, 1827, compared with January. 1926, and percent compared with Jan uary, 192S. When Mr. McLaughlin went into office as Police Commissioner on Jan.

1, 192. all the "wise guys" who knew that his experience in public life had been limited to the State Banking Department pro claimed that he would never be able to handle the New York City police, hence there was somewhat of an outbreak of crime in the first month or two of his work. The gradual but complete change in the attitude of the "wise guys" during the past 13 months is amazing. In that time tbey have learned not only to fear but to respect the present police administration, and to have a higher regard for the force individually and collectively. Ball Bond Business Jotted.

Not long ago the writer was talking to a man whose business is largely that of furnishing bail bonds and doing other little Jobs for crooks in distress. He said: "He Is hurting my Income, but I will have to admit that Commissioner McLaughlin has improved the morale of the police Immensely, and he has Improved the administration of the department. He is getting more work and more results. Personally. I am cynical about policemen, and believe that 100 McLaugh lin's would never be able to eliminate graft entirely from such a large body of men exposed to many temptations: but.

on the other hand, I know from experience that the crooks with records, and the crooks who do big things and big damage tn the community, are more fright ened and timid about pulling Jobs In New York than they have been for years. They are pulling out of this town every day. Plays So Faiorlles, He Says. "Where McLaughlin will get politically by his methods, if he has political ambitions. I can eay.

Pickpockets work Individually or In small "mobs." but they are loosely bandeid Into what baa been rightly called the "Pickpockets Trust." That "trust" for years depended upon certain shady lawyers who were notorious for their ability to fix things for tl sir with the police, the politicians or the person robbed.

Trast Has lost Ita Orin. That trust apparently has lost Its grip for two reasons: First, the leading and most successful pickpockets have been driven out of the city by the Baumes Laws and the vigilance of the police. Second. Commissioner McLaughlin has demanded and obtained results from arrests and has not hesitated to speak his mind when crooks caught In the act were released without punishment or were given Inadequate punishment. Nowadays, alt concerned with the arrests of pickpockets have to watch their steps and the shyster lawyers whose principal Income -as derived from freeing vicious criminals have not been able to function as they did In the past.

la that connection here is an Interesting sidelight: When the Crime Commission of New York State held a public session in Montreal, Canada, on last Nov. 1 1 to get a line on bow Canada administered her criminal law, among those who courteously testified were several prominent criminal lawyers who talked with amazing frankness. One ot them was asked: "What do you think Is the principal explanation for the slump in crime In Canada compared with the United Btates He promptly replied: "Our criminals have lost faith In their lawyers." He went on to explain that under the simplified Canadian procedure In criminal trials, the quickness with which the cases were brought to trial, the indifference of the Canadian judges to political or other lnnuence, the high ball and the rigidity of discipline In Canadian penitentiaries, Canadian professional crooks had mostly come to the conclusion that the game was not worth the candle and that a lawyer could do them little or no good beyond cross-questioning witnesses on the stand. They were behaving; or going to the United estate. (Another story by Thomas 8.

Conditions Show Big Jump. Arrests for frauds, swindles and breaches of trasts numbered X.J7I In 1926 and 3.489 in 1925 a de crease In arrests of 11.

but 34 of -those arrested for such offenses In 926 went to prison or Insane asylums and only 645 went to prison or Insane asylums In 1925. With lis less arrests In 12 months, the McLaughlin police "sent away" nearly 300 more of such crooks. Why and how? That was despite the fact that 506 such crooks received suspended sentences In 1926 as compared with 364 In 1925. Here is a noticeable element for which the Baumes Laws' stiffening penalties for repeaters of felonies wero undoubtedly responsible: In 1925 the number of persons who commlted frauds, swindles, and were fined or Jumped ball was 118. In 1926 those who were fined or Jumped bail totaled 186.

ear of Baumes Laws Evident. The difference In the two figures Is almost certainly due to ball Jumpers exclusively, as the much higher proportion of crooks tn this class who were sent to prison indicates that the Judges did not suddenly develop a habit of fining Instead of imprisoning. Fear of the law Inspires Jumping of ball and the nearly 60 percent rise In ball Jumping In this class tells Its own story of the dread of the Baumes Laws. Arrests for robbery from the person by stealth (pickpocketing, In the main) numbered 730 tn 1926 and 938 In 1925, but those Imprisoned In 1926 totaled 502 as against 621 In 1925. The police of 1925 made 208 more arrests in 1925 and obtained only 19 more prison sentences than the police of 1928.

Several factors enter into the explanation of the decrease in arrests and the Increase of prison penalties for pickpockets. Many Pickpockets Driven Out. Pickpockets are professional crlm lnals carefully trained In their spe clalty. Few escape arrest sooner or later.

"Don't let us be hard-hearted or stiff-necked! Save, New York City for Jesus." With eloquence unusual for a child, Cldine pleaded in a plaintive voice.

Wistfully she begged her audience to ask Ood'a help in sending a great revival. Holding aloft the Bible, she referred to the "banner of the Cross." Commissioner of Corrections Fred A.

It would take about five years under the most favorable circumstances to make effective any such proposal.
