One-hundred and forty-six persons were arrested on a charge of intoxication over the week end, the largest number in many months, according to statistics compiled today in the office of Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police.

The drunks were brought into the first precinct with such regularity Saturday night and Sunday morning, Maj. Hesse said, that the collateral was increased from $25 to $100 as one means of curbing the drinking proclivities of the week end celebrants. Eleven inebriates, Maj. Hesse explained, were gathered from a Chinese restaurant on Ninth street.

The increase in arrests for intoxication swelled the grand total for all offenses for the week end to 731, a record exceeded only by March 6, and 7, when 971 law violators were arrested.
