HOMICIDE AMONG ITALIANS.
The Crime Is Frequent but the Cause
Is Not Political.

Dr. Napoleone Colajanni, in the Forum.
Every Italian who holds himself
aloof from the prejudices of ordinary
patriotism will recognize that the
moral conditions of our country are
not Of the best, and that, in the gen.
eral statistics of homicide, Italy holds
IL disgraceful supremacy, More MUIR
ders are committed in Italy than in
Spain or Hungary; and in the latter
two countries the number of homicides
has been supposed to be the largest in
Europe. Having said this much, with
q sincerity which none can doubt, it
remains for us to examine into the de-
tails concerning the fact.
For the years 1885, 96-97, we find that
an average of 1858 per 100000 inhabi-
tants in Italy have been accused OF
homicide. A more detailed study
brings to light these facts: % The
provinces of ITALY which give the high
est averages for homicide are Girgenti,
5265; Sassari, 36.5S; Trapani, 1926; Pal
ermo, 1926; and Naples, 3l.76. (2)
Those which Weld the lowest averages
are Mantu l,S7; Bergamo, PIP; Padua.
215; Sondrio, 2.47; and Cremona, 265.
These figures go to prove that there eX-
lists in Italy a large zOne-almost all
northern Italy-which, as regards hom-
icide, very nearly approaches the most
civilized countries of Europe. Difficult
as Is the study of crime in the United
states. il may be said that there exists
in that country, also, an enormous diff
ference in the criminal statistics of
different regions For example, in the
statistics for 1898 we find maximum
of 20 homicides per 10000 inhabitants
in New York. In San Francisco the
number was 1888. The minimum was
found in Baltimore, 0.59. Washington
has the small percentage of 90 Italy
and the United States are pre-eminent
i'm regard to the differences in social
conditions found in the different Sec
tions of the same country.
The various political crimes of the
Italians have given the enemies of
the democracy the preteXt of attribut-
ing the high criminal average to the
propaganda through which the popu-
lar factions-republicans radicals and
socialists-are seeking to spur the Ital-
ian people on to a more highly civilized
life. Now, statistics show that the
crime of homicide is greatest in the
! south of Italy-in Sardinia and Sicily
that is to say in those parts where the
| fewest republicans and socialists are
to be found; where. in fact, they do not

upon homicide from the standpoint of
political propagandism, we are forced
to admit that in Italy as in Germany.

crime of homicide Is at a minimum,

devoted to the selection of exhibits to
represent the manufacturing interests
of Cuba, the bulk of the exhibits will
come from the country and will be coll
lected so as TO serve as inducements
to those with limited capital who may
desire to invest in Cuba. The exhibits
will be the best ever collected in the
island and will entirely be representa-
tive of its industries.

F. E. THOMPSON'S
BAD ACCIDENT

The accident occurred about O'Clock
The two gentlemen were riding to-
gether, Mr.. Couzens being about fifty
yards ahead of Thompson, when the
horse of the latter passed him. Look
ing back he saw his companion lying
at the base of an ironwood tree, appar-
emily unconscious.
Letting his own horse go he picked
up Thompson and carried him to the
residence of Hermann Focke, from
whence telephone call was sent to
the police station for the patrol wagon.
DR.. Murray arrived with the patrol
wagon and after examining the unfor-
tunate man decided that his injuries
were so severe that it would be advis-
able to send him to the Queens Hospi-
tai as soon as possible.
This was done and Dr.. Mcdonald, the
physician of the Queens Hospital, found
that Mr.. Thompson was suffering from

APPEALS TO
WASHINGTON

Chuck Seen and Chew Yuen, the two
Chinese merchants who were refused
permission to land in Honolulu from
the Mariposa, by Collector Stackable
Friday, were yesterday allowed to
come ashore pending an appeal to
Washington, after Attorney Fleming
had spent the great part of the morn
ing in finding suitable quarters for their
detention.
The attorneys for the Chinese have
appealed from the decision of Collector
Stackable to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the two defendants will
6e kept under surveillance by the Gus
tom officials until the Washington au-
tlsorities have been heard from.
The appeal is not made from Judge
Estee's decision, but Is direct to the
Treasury Department, which only has
jurisdiction over collectors in immigra-
ton cases. The appeal has not been
sent to Washington, but will be for
warded on the next steamer. 1t is to
be based on the ground that the action
of the collector was not in accordance
with any law or act of Congress.
The defendants are both wealthy.
Chuck Seen was coming here to take
the position of manager of the Wung
Wo Chan Co., and that company is in
teresting itself in fighting the case
Both merchants have been domiciled in
a cottage on Kukui street, where they
are under the surveillance of the custom
house officers. One of the conditions
under which they are allowed to land
and remain here during the interval
of thirty or forty days. which must nee
ecsarily elapse before a reply can be
obtained from Washington, Is that they
are to pay all the expenses and the cost
of remaining in custody.
