Crime Greatly on the Increase In the
limited States.

New York, Nov. 26.-There at pres
ent four and half times as many mur
ders and homicides for each l,000,OOl
people in the United States as there
we're in 1881. With this statement o
fact, based upon statistics, s. s. Nc
Clure makes a startling showing OF the
increase OF Ia wlessness In this country,
and follows with e stinging criticism oI
the reign OF "criminal oligarchy," oi
chronic infracton Of the law by many
classes, Of general failure in the en-
forcement of the statutes, 10 which
causes the condition is attributed.
Comments on the prevalence OF crime
and lawlessness taken almost at random
from representative and serious news
papers and from published statements
Of judges and citizens form the sup
porting evidence.
In the United States last year there
were S,g76 murders and homicides in a
population of about $4,000, 900. In
1881, when the population was 81 ,3l6,-
900, there were only 1926 crimes Of
this class. The high record was reach.
ed In 1895, when there were 1854
murders and homicides in POPULATION
Of 1000, coo. In 1899 conditions inn
proved, but since then they have stead
lily grown worse.
Conditions In Chicago are strikingly
set forth by comparisons with the Grim.
ina records OF the two leading cities OF
Europe. London, with an area Of 6SS
square miles ard population Of 9 ,500,-
900, had "a murders last year. There
vas no undiscovered crime" as the
murderere were all arrested except In
four cases, where they committed
suicide.
Chicago, with less than one third Of
the population and area, covered by the
London or metropolitan police, had i2s
bomicides. In Is cases the murdefers
were killed at the time of the crime or
suicide; four other cases
were those OF officers who did the kill.
Ing In the performance Of their duties,
leaving 100 cases Tor the police to work
upon. Out Of that number "a conyic.
tions were secured, while In 10 cases no
arrests were made, and In SO cases ar.
fests aid not result In conviction. Only
ine man was hanged In Chicago.
In Paris only 10 murders or attempt.
II murders were committed In the same
period. More than eight times as
many murders In Chicago az In Paris,
md six times ~ many ~ In London.
The loss Of life through crime IL
made more promnen, when compared
With fatalities In war and on railroads
N three years the homicides In the
United States numbered 81 1895. The
Britisb loss In The Bocr war was 49,.
400. In the same period there we're
,illed on railroads 2l,si7.
Labor troubles, the burning Of ne.
.iocs. lawlessncss In Colorado, riots
nj murders In New York are referred
o In detail.
