Ninety-eight arresfs were made during " the month and two stills seized.

POLICE 'LOSE DAY OFF. Maj. Gessford Delays New System, Fearing Legal Complications. Maj. Harry L. Gessford, superintend- necessary to | delay inaugurating the system of giving | members of the police force one day oft every two months. It was his intention to inaugurate the system this morning, and, it Is stated, many members of the force already had planned for the day's respite. It was suggested that giving the men the day off might not conform to the legislative provision giving each mem- ber of the department mot to exceed twenty days' annual leave, and Maj.
