BY LAW AND OTHERWISE.

The Chicago Tribune has gathered
some statistics on the gruesome sub'
iect Of lynchlngs and legal executions In
this country during the past year. BY
the figures published Il appears that
the two modes OF sending human beings
out IL the world were about evenly
praeuccd. There were no Illegal and
MS LEGAL Killings The lynchings in
creased over the previous year by Is,
ana the executions decreased by twelve.
AZ 90 the area. Of the no lynchings
l0l occurred In the southern states.
ana only EIGHT In the North The
Southern victims were all negroes The
record by states is as follows: Louisl-
ana aud Mississippi lead each with
twenty to her discredit Georgia fol-
Iowa with sixteen. Florida with nine.
Alabama with eight Tennessee with
seven Arkansas and Virginia with six
each. Texas with four and Colorado,
Indiana and North Carolina each with
three. Kansas. Missouri, South Caro-
lima and West Virginia each had two,
while Kentucky and Maryland each
had one
The legal executions were distributed
among these states Texas heads the
ust with eighteen. and then come Penn
sylyania with fifteen, Georgia with
fourteen ana North Carolina with nine.
Virginia had seven. Louisiana had six,
California had nye, and Alabama, New
Jersey tennessee and Arizona each
had four while Missouri Maryland.
Montana. New York. south Carolina
and the District OF Columbia each had
three. Illinois and the state Of Wash
ington report two each, and Connect
cut Florida. Mississippi North Dako-
ta Ohio and Oregon each had one.
u Is common argument that II
there were more executions. there would
Doe less lynchings. but the statistics do
