The commissioner concludes that
in the Investigation of crime from a
sociological standpoint most all mis-
demeanors should be eliminated, as
they are for the most part vices
made crimes by statutes. On this
point he aptly says: "Puts and
calls made In bucket shop are
criminal under our laws, while in
the merchants exchange they are
legitimate. Buying pools on horse
race, II the horse runs outside Of
the state, is gambling, while If the
horse runs in the state, under
restrictions mentioned, it is legiti-
mate"
The commissioner is an optimist,
and does not believe crime is in
creasing.

LABOR IN MISSOURI.

The report of Labor Commissioner
Henry Blackmore Is a book of 531
pages. At the outset the commits
sioner says that most IL not all laws
purporting to be in the interest OF
labor are either defective, inefficient
or have been nullifled by decisions Of
the courts. Under the head OF econ
ditions" the people OF Missouri are
complimented in the highest terms
for the excellent record for law and
order made during the railroad and
coal miners strikes; the splendid
reputation made by st. Louis for
quiet and order, without the pres
ence Of militia or soldiers is made
prominent. Constructions given by
courte 20 the Interstate cnmroerse
act are brought out, and show to
what an absurd extent they have
been carried, and by parity to what
greater absurdities the logic of
decisions may 60. 1t is well known
that Missouri ranks seventh as
manufacturing state, and leads all in
the manufacture of chewing tobacco.
The commissioner tabulates reports
from 1,473 establishments, 757 of
which are private and TIC CORPORA
tions.
The average number of males
employed in these manufactures is
4S, S,264:
$50 per cent earned less than IS per
week.
3.47 per cent earned IS, but less than 20

5.21 per cent earned $6, but less than 81

7.s5 per cent earned 81, but less than Is

1890 per cent earned s12, but less than
sl5 per week.
11.95 per cent earned SIS, but less than
go per week.
3.64 per cent earned $40 and over.
Then is shown the average week
earning of females, the average
number employed being 1887:
37.79 earned less than IS per week.
23.35 per cent earned IS, but less than 70
per week.
1880 per cent earned 80, but less than "

The commissioner shows that
misdemeanor costs can be reduced to
6 cents per capita, or $85, ,190.55,
annually, by giving cities of the first,
second and third class exclusive
jurisdiction over the class of misde-
meanors disposed of in st. Louis in
the police court and by the abolition
Of fee system.
The total number of felonies
disposed of in 1893 for which the
state paid the costs is 1921, and
which cost 1886, 104.S9, including
board of prisoners, but excluding the
cost of taking convicts to the peni-
tentiary.
Nearly one third of the felonies
were tried in st. Louis City; jackson
county, second; Greene, third /;
Jasper fourth; Buchanan, fifth /;
Lafayette, sixth; Marion and Vernon,
an equal number; then Saline; then
Pettis. These 10 counties furnish
2, 109 cases, or "a per cent of all the
cases.
Nine hundred and sixty -four
cases, or 1929 per cent, were con-
victed; 1,419, or 43 per cent, were
acquitted; 1873 continued generally =
48 quashed; 677, or 20 per cent,

FOR ELECTION FRAUDS.

FOR ELECTION FRAUDS.
The st. Louis grand jury's report
was OF a sensational character. In
o batch OF 173 true bills returned
over fifty are for election crimes.
Included in these are indictments
charging Republican Sheriff eject
Henry Troll and his son, Charles,
who Ia q deputy in Collector Zeigen-
hilin's office, with bribery.
Among the indicted are John Cliff
ford, Anthony O. Walsh, Thomas
Mahon, william. Cronin, Thomas
Murphy and George T. Murphy
police officers, who are charged with
oppression In Office at the election.
Sheriff elect Troll gave bond In the
sum OF $500. He refused to discuss
the indictments further than to say
he will not have any trouble show
ing that he, as well as his son, Is
innocent.
1t is stated that other indictments
have been withheld from publication
In order to enable the authorities to
make the arrests ON bench warrants,
and that prominent politicians are
among the number, the publication
OF whose names will cause a sensa-
ton. The report of the grand jury
dwells at length upon the abuses and
loose methods Of the present exist
ing election laws. The report says
the reward for the repeaters appears
to have consisted chiefly Of promises
from their leaders of immunity from
punishment for illegal voting and Of
promises Of protection and assist
ance should they come within ths
clutches of the law at some future
time.

These eight crimes furnish 1850
cases, or 78 per cent of all felonies.
The crimes which cost the state
more than $40, 1000 for each class, and
the average cost for each case in
each class (the aggregates are ex-
pressed in dollars, leaving off the
cents):
Murder, va, ,968; each case, $3.50.
Rape. I'll ,222; each case, s155.s8.
Forgery, f13,657; each case, S72.26.

Felonious assault, sss,O52; each case,
f81.17.
Robbery, s1s,8s2; each case, s72.12.
Here are some of the counties
which draw large part of tho taxes
they pay into the state treasury to
pay for felony costs:
Bollinger, 45.s per cent; Butler, s43;

This leaves 80 counties whofe per-
centage OF cost to taxes paid ranges
between 13 and 25 per cent. Ozark
county, which reports no cost paid
by the county for misdemeanors,
shows the largest per cent. of felony
costs, 93.3, or within q small amount
of all 1t paid into the state treasury
The commissioner says each county
should pay its own felony costs as they
do their misdemeanor costs. How
ever, II this is too radical he advo-
Gates that each county should pay
for the board Of it's prisoners pend
ing trial, which aggregates one -thirt
of all felony costs. The state ha'
paid the city of st. Louis, in 1898

An unusual thing in connection

may be libelious. II. A. Busby of
Means, Harrison county, was in
dicted for writing letters and postal
cards to David Handley. On one
envelope of the letters were the
quotations: "Owe No Man Any
thing" "Let Us Walk Honestly"
and "Many Years Thou Shall Be

almost broken in two. There was
a cloudburst OIL the mountain, the
water coming down in torrents.
This helped to make it almost

In q MIDDLE.

The Baseball League held a
short meeting in the office of w.
f. Allen early this afternoon to
pass upon the application Of the
old Kamehameha team for admls-
sion. By vote Of the delegates
the team was admitted. Secretary
Spencer then resigned pre-
sumably on account of the
extra trouble into which the
League had placed itself, it becom-
ing necessary to arrange a new
schedule of games. Immediately
following Captain Thompson with
drew his team, the Athletics. The
reasons given was that four MEM
bers of that team had gone to the
Kamehamehas, and could not be
replaced.
At adjournment it looked much
like baseball this year had re-
ceived a very black eye. Several
members spoke of giving it up, ad
vancing different reasons. o.
course there are still three teams in
the league. All are capable. A
game between any two would be
as interesting as those played last
year. But the trouble of reorgan'
izing seems to be the great cause o.
discouragement.

THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
SQUAD & ADOPTS TnE ULTIMATUM
OF THE COMMITTEE.
Presented this Afternoon-Ruie and n
Lieutenant - Plan of
Arbitration.

Big Squad s, Citizens Guard,
held a meeting behind closed doors
last night The ultimatum
recommended by the Committee
was adopted. 1t is i'll the nature
of a protest to the officers of the
Citizens Guard against the rules
and regulations. The squad de-
clines to operate under objection
able clauses and finds other faults.
They also object to the manner of
electing the lieutenant of the divis-
ion. AT II o'clock today this
ultimatum was signed by the
Committee and will be transmitted
to Captain McStocker.
The squad expects the petition or
protest to be considered at a meet
ing of officers which, it is believed,
will be called at once. A member
of the squad said this morning: III
our protest is not needed, they have
but one other thing to do-organize
another squad"
As nearly as can be gathered the
first basis for the dissatisfaction i'll
this squad is personal matter, be
ing the defeat of one of the candi-
dates for the division lieutenancy.
As intimated above one solution
suggested is the organization of a
second squad in Palama or Kalihi,
thus opening the way for new
division with lieutenant residing
in that locality.
