sures cheapness. The grouping of a
number of families under one roof, and
the diminishing cost of superintendent
and collection, is another considerable
item. More important than all is the
plan of construction, in accordance with
which the buildings are made many sto.
ries in height, thus utilizing to the ut
most the ground on which they are built.
The managers of these associations be-
lieve there is economy in building Lon
don upwards, instead of spreading it out.
Workmen must reside near their places
of employment, and if they cannot get
good lodgings they will take bad. In the
new tenements one thousand and six
hundred persons can be accommodated
on one acre infinitely better than three
hundred could under the whole system.
All this work cannot go for nothing, and
it is already producing its effect upon the
people Of London. The Peabody associ-
alton has a capital of 100000. and has
furnished homes to ten thousand. Sir
Sidney Waterlow's company has a capital
Of between gs660, 900 and s40O, 900, and
provides for about FIVE thousand. Many
other associations have added their efforts
to those already mentioned. If the in.
vestments shall make returns as large a.
promised, it viii not be long before the
supply of tenements will be equal to the
demand.

men in Peoria, Hill county, two
years previously.
A. G. Anderson, district clerk of
Freestone county, states that the
grand jury had not, up to Noyem-
Der l3, 1912, found an indictment
against Hardin. for the murder of
Jim Smalley.
The sheriff Of Gonzales county
wrote on November 20, 1872, that
Hardin escaped from the jail at
that place on the 10th, and that
800 reward was offered for his ar
rest. Hardin was guarded at the
time by six men, but the sheriff
thought they must have been asleep
when Hardin was taken out.
Hardin was indicted in Trinity
county for a murder committed in
August, 1879; in Oomanche county
for murder; in Navasota for assault
with intent to murder; in Wilson
county for committing murder In
July, 1873, and in Smith county
for assault with intent to murder.
Letters and reports mention a
number Of crimes committed by
him in various other counties.
Among them it Is said that be made
practice of stealing cattle down
about Dewitt county, and after OBJ
tanning fraudulent bills of sale from
a brother in Comanche county, he
would proceed on his way to Kansas
with the cattle. One drove of 500
cattle, it is said, was taken from
him in Comanche county at one
time, and he barely escaped with his
life. 1t is possible that indictments
have been found against Hardin in
counties which have not reported
the same to the acknowledgement,
and the extent and character of the
crimes he has committed cannot
