Ninety-eight and a half per cent of arrests by the United States Park Po- lice for the fiscal year ending June 30 last stood the rigid test of court scru- tiny. ! This statement is set forth by Lieut. | Col. U. S. Grant. 3d, director of Public Buildings and Public Parks, in his an- nual report, in which he asserts that “only 33 cases were dismissed out of the total of 2,189 arrests made. “This high Fercenmge of convictions shows eonclusively that arrests are not made without adequate cause and that the park policemen are showing excel- lent judgment in the exercise of their authority,” the colorel states. Fines totaling $8,873 came into the coffers of Uncle Sam, as the result of activity of the park police, while $6,061 was forfeited. Twenty-eight stolen cars were recovered. Showing that each private is respon- sible for about 69 acres of property, Col. Grant, asserts that “the growth in the area policed is greater than the growth in strength of the force.” CUTS ARM-ON WINDOW Wife of Policemian Hurt in Trying to Re-enter Her Home.

NGTON, SHARKS FOUND IN-‘FRESH WATER SEEN AS MEDICAL SCIENCE AID New York U. Physioclogist Believes Fish Will Throw Light on Obscure Points About Human Kidneys. By the Associated Press. oceari in the subscquent Devonian SINGAPORE, Stralt Settlements—A | Period strange race of man-eating sharks liv- ing in fresh water has been found near here by Dr. Homer W. Smith, New York University physiologist. ‘This fish promises to throw light on some obscure points about human kid- neys and thereby give science another grip on disease prevention. At Teluk Anson,” on the Perak River, which flows into the Straits of Malacca on the west coast of Malaya,” Dr. Smith said, “we found rays, sharks and saw- fish in perfectly fresh water 40 miles from sea. “We set up a laboratory under a plam-leaf roof to keep off the terrific sun, and settled down to do some very exact scientific work. “We were able to keep the fish until we wanted to use them in live cars in the river. ‘The natives use these live cars frequently to transport live fish to market, thus making up for the absence of -ice. “The Chinese know this trick and ship large quantities of young carp to Singapore by“aerating the water with paddles, ‘these are made to slap the water by a mechanieal device activated by coolies running on a tread-mill in shifts day and night. “We did not ourselves get any very large fish, but man-eating sharks weighing up to 100 pounds are said to come up the river sometimes. There are a few records of sharks and saw- fish, which are clogely related, going e river 200 miles from the ‘This migration into fresh water ocs curs for some unknown reason only in the tropical rivers of the equatorial belt, the vast majority of this group of fish being strictly marine. “The immigration is the more inter- es because some paleontologists think the group as a whole lived exclusively in the fresh waters of the Bflurian continents (that is, about 500, 000,000 years ago) and moved into the NSBURGH'S 7th, 8th and E Sts.—NAtional 9800 The Gift for the Family and a Rare Value at Its Price The New 1931 Triple Screen Grid .
