prepared for what Mr.. Clark tells US, and
what We have learned from other
sources, Of the dimensions to which the
abuse has arisen. The clerk Of certain
statesman wrote the other day to the Presi-
dent Of the Union Pacific that Senator So
and-so would be in New York on such q
day, and it would perhaps be as well for
Mr. Clark to call upon him and offer him
pass. Another Senator recently asked for
Eve passes over the Union Pacific road (the

company should suffer for It's meanness

Exciting EPISODE In q court Room.
BALTIMORE, May 9.--On the night of
Jan. 2 last, Mrs. Lsmpley, an aged lady, was
murdered in this city and her house robbed
of several hundred dollars during the abb
sence of her husband. Afterward Joshua
Nicholson, who married grand daughter
of Mrs. Lampley, and Whaless, alias Halla-
han, were arrested, charged with the muir
der and indicted. The case was removed
TO the Circuit Court of Anne Arundle, and
the trial began at Annapolis Monday last,
and the evidence for the State and the de-
fence concluded yesterday afternoon, du-
ring which Deputy Marshal Frey testified
relative to a confession of the murder made
by the prisoners.
A special to the american says when the
cell of Hallahan was entered it was found
he had worked the irons off of both legs.
Subsequently he was brought to court with
Nicholson, and the trial was proceeding, the
State Attorney making his closing argu-
ment, when Hsllahan sprsng from the box,
and rushing at Deputy Marshal Frey, struck
him violently over the head with a heavy
piece of iron wrapped in a stocking. Mich
olson sprang out of the box and rushed
towards Frey, when melee
ensued. The scene was fearful and
exciting. Detectives Pourter and
Shaffer rushed to the rescue of Marshal
Frey to protect him from attack and Sc
cure the two criminals. Hollahan was
struck on the head and badly cut, the blood
streaming over his face. The Marshal, al
though badly injured, was able to assist in
subd ling the prisoners, both Of whom were
soon overcome and handcuffed. After the
excitement subsided, the trial of the case
was proceeded with and given to the jury
at O'Clock, who soon returned with YER
dict of guilty of murder in the first degree.

HOW MANY TO THE ACREa

In this age Of city building it is perth
nent TO inquire how many persons may he
profitably located on an acre of ground in
large cities ike London aud New York?
London covers an area of 70, ESQ acres, and
has an average population of forty-three
persons to the acre. The average of 20 Of
the large towns in The United Kingdom is
20 persons per acre. According to the Reg
istrar Generals report last year the most
tbickly populated districts Of London are
the following: Holboru, 200; st. Giles,
21e; Westminster, 2ST persons per acre.
This is a decrease upon previous returns. In
New York the fourteenth ward has 275
persons TO the acre; the seventeenth ward
2S9; the thirteenth S11, and the eleventh
1928 persons to the square acre. These
figures indicate the densest known popula-
ton on The globe, and go far to explain the
cause ofthe forty per cent. higher death
rate in New York than London. 1t is
found by experience in London that when
population reaches to the number of $50
to the acre, the hive swsmrs by sending citi-
zens to the suburbs, thereby reducing the
discomfort and pressure of the crowd.
There is less contamination, more
life, health and longevity. In
twenty large towns in Great Britain people
seek money with sufficient avidity, while
crowding only moderately 29 persons on
an acre, But in New York where the al
mighty dollar is the leading divinity wor-
shipped, Dine times 20 persons rush into
the vortex of trade aud speculation on each
of some hundreds of ARES Of Manhattan
Island. Nine hundred and eighty thous-
and is about the present resident popula-
ton. Ii is expected that part Of West
chester county will soon be added to the
city, and that its inhabitants will have the
good sense to expand into the country.
Sanitary ideas, laws and regulations can
hardly fail to purify the atmosphere OF
towns, and give TO all a little more room
for living, and healthy exercise in the open
air. There is an excess Of pride and vain
ambition in cities, with g sorry lack of com.
fort, and soand constitutional manhood
In cities, half of the children born die be-
fore they are five years old, and three
fourths of the other half are specimens o.
humanity in its weakest forms. In short
cities as now managed and enjoyed, breed
mankind downward at rapid rate. They
are held to be the graveyards of the human

nFFICIAL REGGARS.

A reporter on the New York Tribune
has been interviewing Mr.. Horace F. Clark,
President of the Union Pacific Railroad, on
the subject of free passes, and be has drawn
from that gentleman some damaging reva-
lations touching the extent to which officials,
with ample salaries, carry this species OF
beggsry. The Tribune says: "The road
of which Mr.. Clark is the head, is by no
means the only one in the country which
has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars
by the opportunities of official mendicants;
but II has the distinction Of being the first
TO attempt reform in what has grown TO
be q very serious abuse, and the course OF
its struggle with the beggars and black
msilers will be watched with great curi-
osity. We are shamed, but not surprised,
to find the President Of the United
States leading the rabble of spongers, and
travelling about the country at the cost of
the railroads. Mr.. Clark is considerate
enough not to say that the President asked
for free pass; but il is notorious what
Gen. Grants practice has always been with
respect to such "courtesies," and there is
not a railroad man in tie country who does
not understs and what is expected d OF him
W ben the chief magistrate and his suite OF
attendants 10 ab.oad to take their pleasure.
If the President does it, why should the
Cabinet be modest? We know Of one
Cabinet officer who's. clerk wrote letter.
marked "Oficial Business" under the de-
maritime MT frank, and coolly informed either
MIR. Clark or some other officer of
the road that Secretary so-and-so
"with his family" purposed max
ing trip TO California, and If the
road wished to pass them free the necessa-
ry documents might be inclosed TO the
clerks care. There is another Cabinet Of
ficer who has applied for passes, not once,
but great many times. There is Judge
of a Federal Court who recently asked for
a season pass; and We presume from Mr.
Clark's guarded statements that it is no un-
common thing for judges TO sue for the
bounty of the road whose affairs may at any
time come before their courts. As for Sen
atOrs aud Representatives, they Of course
are the most persistent and unblushing of
dead-heads. 1t is a Well-known failing
of the average Congressman to ciamor
for anything he eau get free, from a
bay-rum bath, or a dozen stsy-laces, to
a round trip TO California, priced at
$500. That be should demand eompli-
mentary tickets for himself aud his inter-
esting family from the Rocky Mountains to
Washington, from New England to Cali
fornia-that be should tnrn 8 brisk penny
by begging for passes and selling them at a
discount-that he should encourage clerk:
of committees and employees about the cap
itol AID the departments to make similar
demands-and that he should think him
selfill-used when the demands are not
granted-all this is no more than we might
haYe anticipated, knowing ss we do the
propensiLies which life in Washington de-
