CRIME IN LONDON The annual re-
port of the chief commissioner OF the
London police shows a large increase IN
the number of crimes in the metropoli-
tan area, despite the augmentation of the
police force. Against this, however, is
the fact that 30l new streets, with
total length Of sixty miles, and contain
ing 27, ia houses, were built in London
in 1901. 1t is computed that the in
crease in population has been l2O, 600.
The metropolitan police district now
contains 6SS square miles of territory.
The officers and men of the force number
1897. Their wages aggregate fl, S96, :
900. A notable feature of the year $
criminal investigation is the success OF
the fnger-print and anthropolmetrlc tests
for identifying criminals, method long
in use in France, but only lately intro
duced in London.

Music MAY RESTORE MUSICIANS
MIND.-The influence of music, as play
ed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, is
expected to restore TO reason young
musician who has been patient in the
Hudson River State Hospital for the In
sane at Poughkeepsie, N. Y, for the
past six months. The young man is
Bruno Beehn, who was himself men,
Der of the Boston Orchestra until he
broke down from overwork and had to
be sent 10 the hospital for treatment.
When it was announced that the orches-
ira was coming 10 Poughkeepsie the
young musician petitioned the superin-
tendent to be allowed to attend the con-
cert. The concert last night had such a
beneficial effect that physicians believed
yesterday it would prove the means OF
eflecting a permanent cure and his early
discharge is expected.

GOMPERS APPREHENSIvE.

At the session of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor in New Orleans yesterday
President Gompers in his address said:
'Beyond doubt the greatest problem, the
danger which above all Others most
threatens not only the success, but the
very existence of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, is the question of juris-
diction, and unless our affiliated national
and international unions radically and
soon change their course we shall at no
distant day be in the midst of an inter
necine contest unparalleled in any era OF
the industrial world, aye, not even when
workmen of different trades were ar
rayed against each other behind barri-
cades in the streets over the question OF
trade against trade. They mutually re-
garded each with hatred and treated
each other as mortal enemies. Is the
great cause of labor to drift into such a
dreadful and miserable strife? Are
all the sacrifices made TO be ruth
lessly thrust into the gutter as the
germ, to fructify and destroy the vigor,
the very life, of our cause Is
organized labor, the only check to
rapacious greed and tyranny, the only
hope Of labor for protection now or lib
erty for the future, to be engulied in q
tidal wave of expansion madness? No
combination of labor's enemies need
cause us the apprehension which this
fratricidal strife does in the claims
made by unions for the extension OF
trade jurisdiction. There is scarcely an
affiliated organization which is not en-
gagged in a dispute with another organi-
zation (and in some cases with several
organizations) upon the question OF
jurisdiction. 1t is not an uncommon
occurrence for an organization, and sew
eral have done so quite recently, to so
change their laws and claims to juris-
diction as to cover trades never con-
templated by the organizations officers
or members; never comprehended by
their title; trades of which there Is
already in existence a national union.
And this without a word OF
advice, counsel, or warning. This
contention for jurisdiction has
grown into such propositions and Is
fought with such Intensity as to arouse
the most bitter feuds and trade wars. In
many instances employers fairly inclined
toward organized labor have been made
innocently to suffer from causes entirely
beyond their control, and other employ
ers again have taken advantage of first
inception of the fancy or notion for 'ex-
pansion' of trade jurisdiction, famed ii
into a flame, and taking advantage OF the
excitement and hatred Of and war against
each other, refused to recognize either
organization, pretending to claim it
war among labor organizations. With
out in any way being desirous of inhuen-
cling your judgment upon any one OF the
cases which may claim your attention,
it is strongly urged that action he taken
by this convention that shall tend to
check the indiscriminate attempts made
to extend jurisdiction Of any organization
without the contest of the organization
of the trade already in existence.

BRYAN ON HILL AND CLEVELAND.

BRYAN ON HILL AND CLEVELAND
In discussing recent elections Mr.
BRYAN says that neither the regular
democrats nor the reorganizers can point
to the results as evidence that their plan
of dealing with issues will insure success,
but Kansas City platform democrats are
neither dismayed nor disheartened.
Speaking of the effect upon Hills
chances to be the party nominee Tor
President, he says: ''The late election
neither helped nor hindered Mr.; hill
He had no chance of nomination before;
he has nonen Heis not an available
candidate, not because his State failed
to 90 democratic this year, but because
Hill has not gone democratic for several
wears. He has not yet shown real
devotion to a principle, cause for q
position, and such candidate could not
inspire enthusiasm among those with
whom democracy is sort Of religion,
the brotherhood of man sealed in govern
mental terms. The editor OF the Inc
Commoner can thus discuss Mr.. Hill 5
candidacy frankly, becau sed he is not a
candidate himself and has no choice be-
tween men who can be trusted. Demo-
cratic principles are too sacred TO be
trusted to the keeping of cne who never
makes a continuous and consistent hght,
but seizes upon any circumstances that
promise temporary advantage. y MI
Cleveland also comes in for some scath-
ing language. Mr.. Bryan declines to
rejoice because he talked in favor OF
few democratic policies, since he was the
Judas who betrayed the party and then
led the corporation element out OF 1t.
