day are very far behind those which are
considered absolutely necessary in the
United States. The London police have
used the telephone only few years. AS
late as the diamond jubilee of Queen Vic
toria they used to pass news and instruc-
tons between the stations and the patrol
men on duty by word Of mouth along from
beat to beat.
Compared with American cities there is
very little crime in London, but it must be
taken into consideration that the customs
are very different. Over here our police
men make as many arrests as possible;
and the only basis of comparison concern
ing crime is the number Of arrests and con-
victions.
Crimes Of London.
In 1905, as you have already seen. there
were 127,317 arrests in London. OF these
1895 were persons accused of felonies, and
nearly every one of them was convicted;
60 800 arrests were for drunkenness, 1751s
for violation Of police regulations, 1883 for
assault s496 for vagrancy, 3,625 for prosti-
tuition, 2,497 for cruelty to animals. 112 for
cruelty to children, 372 for gambling and
a corresponding number Of other offenses.
There were only twenty homicides In Lon
don last year, which Is an astonishing
record compared with Washington and
other smaller cities OF the United States,
without reference to Chicago. There were
474 burglaries and 1871 unsuccessful at
tempts at burglary.
A comparison of the crimes and misde-
meanors in 1905 with those OF previous
years in London shows:
l. Crimes Of violence have diminished.
2 Burglaries have diminished.
g. Larceny. particularly petty larceny.
has increased.
T. Forgeries. entertainments and other
breaches Of trust have increased.
g. Assaults have decreased.
g. Drunkenness ia stationary.
Z. Vagrancy is increasing very rapidly.
g. The statistics of arrests show that the
number of habitual criminals is decreasing

The police scandals which have filled the
newspapers Of Chicago recently and the
frequent disclosures concerning the inefh-
cheney and corruption of the police in other
cities of the United States emphasize the
significance OF table of statistics which
was published the other day concerning the
delinquinciss Of the metropolitan police Of
London during the last three years. The
figures are official and were compiled at
the request Of Sir Howard Vincent NJ. p,
to show the efficiency and the good judg-
ment of the London constable.
The following table shows the total num-
Der of persons arrested by the police Of
London during each of. the three years
named; the number of cases in which legal
proceedings were taken against the mem
bers Of the force who made those arrests
for unlawful interference with the rights
of citizens and the number of cases in
which the police commissioners, after inves-
tigation decided that the arrests were not

POISONED IN CELL
RINGRosE SAYS he AND ToMBs
PRISONER WERE THREATENED.

A dispatch from New York says that An
tonic Spinneli. who died suddenly Sunday
In the Tombs, where he was awaiting
trial Tor murder. was the victim of a poi
soner is the belief of George Ringrose his
attorney. He said last night, that both
Spinnelli and himself had recently received
letters threatening them with death
Mr.. Ringrose thinks that friends OF An
tonic Eppolto. whom Spinnelli killed. sent
poisoned pears to the prisoner, after the
eating Of which he was taken I'll.
"I Am Sure He Was Poisoned"
II am sure. for several rea sons that Spin
.nelli was poisoned" said the lawyer, at his
home. No 43 Washington square south.
In the first place. although he had been
indicted for murder in the first degree, the
case against him was not strong. A con-
viction for manslaughter was the worst
that could have been expected. Spinnelll
a matter of kill or be killed. My client
acted in self-defense and we were prepared
to prove it.
"Eppolito was Spinnelfs brother -in-law,
and all Of the dead mans friends were
very bitter against the slayer. The only
one who remained loyal to him was his
wife. In my effort to secure evidence IA
yorable to the prisoner / met with oppos-
ton from all of the dead mans relatives.
On one occasion had them all in my Of
fee, together with the WIFE accused them
Of trying to send the man to the chair,
but my only answer was black scowls.
After that they would not let Mrs. Spin
nelli come to see me. although L made
several appointments to meet her.
Last week received an unsigned letter
which said: II you don't stop helping
Spinnelli we will kill you" Friday l saw
the prisoner in the Tombs and told him
of the threat. To my surprise he told
me that he had also received letters saying
that he would be killed in his cell. The
man was badly frightened and asked me II
1t possible for any one to reach him
in his cell. / told him no. but | then
had no thought that poison would be the
weapon and neither did l ever think that
poison could be sent to a person who was
in the Tombs.
"Spinnelli told me in parting that while
he had little fear of the outcome of his
trial he was sure that the relatives of the
man he killed would never allow him TO
leave the court room alive l replied that
he had no reason to be afraid. 1t Is my
intention to investigate this matter and
endeavor to find the guilty person.
Autopsy Reveals Poisons.
The pears which Spinnelli ate were re-
ceived Saturday and examined before be
ing sent to him. After eating them he
complained Of feeling Ill. He died in con-
WILSON'S. A partly eaten pear found
the floor OF his cell will be examined for
traces of poison. Coroner's Physician
Schultz. who performed an autopsy on the
body yesterday. reported to the coroner
that he had found traces of morphine and
strychnne. The internal organs of the
dead man have been sent to the board of
health for analysis.
Warden Flynn Of the Tombs thinks Spin
nelli may have committed suicide. ne says
that the man passed some of the pears
around and others who ate them were not
affected.

WHAT THE MATTER
WITH TOM QUILL?

The announcement coming from Brock
ton To the effect that Quill will not be on
hand for the fight tonight as scheduled
has caused some talk among the sporting
fraternity who had expected to see the
bouts, but they all state that in Madigan
the crowd will see as good a 80 as could
have been furnished with the original
card.
Matchmaker tSanton Abbott is at a loss
to explain the action of Quill since the
match was made through the regular
channels three weeks ago and ne claims
that Quill must have known OF it through
his manager and brother. Each OF these
have had several letters and talks with
the management of the Lymansville CLUB
over the arrangements and hence the tel
egram sent 10 this city cannot be explain
ed
Madgan had been secured by the man
agement to take the place OF either fighter
should one Of them not be on hand, so as
TO assure those who went to Dymansville
OF a run for their money.
Madgan was not to be on the main card
in case both the men came to the call
of time, but he was TO be on hand for an
emergency. The management claim that
IL is no fault of theirs that Quill did not
know OF the bout and under the circum-
stances they think that he must be quib-
bling. Quill claims that he would be
ready TO fight next week. but not this.
Just what reason is for his not waiting
TO fight tonight Is not CLEANED. II cannot
be that he is fearful of a drubbing at the
hands OF Reardon.
Quill will have to come forward with
some very good explanation OF the affair
or else IL is due the public that the man
agemcnt and the matchmakers explain
away the haaze connected with the deal
at present. one thing is sure, and that
is that there will be a rafting good set
Of bouts a Lymansvile tonight and the
fact that Quill will not be on hand will
make but little difference 90 the fans.
What they want is q fight for the money
and that they are assured.

YALE HAS MAPPED
OUT STYLE OF PLAY

In the rain and snow Yale coaches sent
the varsity squad through light practice
at New Haven yesterday afternoon, doing
little but run the boys to keep them in
wind. The slush prevented good punting
or catching, but these departments were
given some attention.
What TO do back OF the line is the wor-
rying feature of the situation IL Morse
were anything but captain he would be
benched. at least until after the game Is
we'll under way. His leg is lame, and as
a rusher he cannot put up game equal
ing that OF either Veeder or Roome. IL
Roome is put in Veeder must be kept out
and vice versa, as Knox is apparently q
fixture.
Yale may attempt TO wear the Prince
ton team down in the first half by rely
ing on Needer TO outpunt his rivals and
make the Tigers do the bucking, then put
in Roome and try to win by smashing at
the weakened defense OF the Tigers. or
this scheme may be reversed and Roome
sent out as a battering-ram TO win, and
then put I'm Veeder to keep the game safe.
Perhaps neither idea is good enough.
Against Princeton IL would not surprise
many to see the plucky but unfortunate
Yale captain disabled early. Forbes would
then run the team, and with Roome and
Veeder in Yale would have a good chance.
Knox may be relied on to do things.
Wernecken, who has been coming fast at
full-back, may also get into the Prince
ton game He has been worked lately i'm
secret practice, and on him the Tigers
have no line TO size up his capabilities. lie
may be the salvation OF Yale.
Yale is hopeful that enough fighting
spirit has been infused into the team TO
pull out victory over Princeton but the
undergraduates have not as yet begun TO
make bets. II the Tiger hackers offer any
kind of odds they will be snapped up, but
even money goes begging here. This is
largely due TO the indecision over the fl
nal choosing OF the Yale back filed The
Yale first squad will leave tomorrow night
for New York and will be given a big
sendoff. \ large crowd Of rooters Will al
so go at that time. and in New York the
bulk of Yale money will be bet
