COST OF CRIME IN UNITED STATES
Estimated by Missouri Attorney To Be More
Than $500 100000 a Year.
IBy Telegraph to The rribune. I

loS Telegraph 10 The Tribune.1
Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. 16.-The actual cost
Of crime in the United States is now more than
$20o000O00 a year. according to estimates re-
Gently completed by Thomas Speed Mosby. Mis-
souri, State Pardon Attorney, and made public
here to-day.
IF we consider also the well known non-pro-
ductiveness of the criminal classes generally"
says Mr. Mostly this would bring the estimated
burden of crime up to fully $500. 100000 year
Every honest man in this country who is the
head of family is obliged to pay not less than
S25 year on this account, and the per capita
cost of crime is much more than the per capita
cost of education.
According to the most reliable sources of
information, about one in every 800 persons in
the United States is either a pauper a lunatic
or a criminal and our degenerate population
alone would make city larger than the national
capital

P. S. LIGHTING INQUIRY.
alleged OUercharging by Electric
Companies To BE Investigated.

Resolutions calling for an inquiry into the
change and the business methods of the lighting
conn saies of this city will be adopted within a
few days by the Public Service Commission. 1t
learned yesterday that Commissioner Milo r.
Maltbie who has had this subject under cOnsid-
Grafton for some time. without doubt would pre-
resolutions at of the public meetings this
week calling for a broad inquiry. to cover all
phases of interest in the lighting field
Complaints from every section of the city have
poured into the office of the Public Sersice Com
mission since II came into existence denouncng
the methods of the electric and gas companies and
urging investigation of the situation by the
commission These complaints have specified poor
service and overcharges Many Of the complaints
about the gas companies the commission has been
able to meet without more formal action than the
transmission of a copy OF the complaint to the
offending company.
With the electric companies, though, the situa-
ton has been different and 1t Is toward them that
the pending probe chiefly is to be directed. Three
principal sources OF complaint have been named
to the commission. One, the most general, was
the matter of overcharges. Another cause Whlch
has been the inspiration for numerous letters to
the commission was the refusal of the Edison
company to supply electricity in cases Of emer-
gency to any building which operated its own
lighting plant. This is the so-called breakdown
service. BY refusing 10 supply such service the
electric company has put many business men In
bad predCaments
A third class of complaints-one which the com
mission has already looked into somewhat-declares
that the electric companies for long time nave
been taking out their service from the concerns OF
those who would sign yearly contracts, IN
alleged to be on much higher oasis
than the rate the consumer was paying at that
time. Many letters have been sent to the commits
sion from business men who refused to sign such
contracts and In consequence were left without
light the electric wires being torn out or the
meters taken out without days notice
The inquiry which the commission Will prosecute
without doubt will be held before Commissioner
Matbe. who IS considered expert on lighting
affairs and has been devoting much time lately
this special subject. II is expected to be thor
ough going necessary into the cost of producing
electricity and the equipment of the various com
panies in the business. Primarily 1t will deal with
the companies furnishing electric light, because
of the complicated legislation in which the gas
situation is entangled just now Some OF the gas
companies in Brooklyn though, may be hauled
over the Goals.

KILL - BY A STREET CAR.
Accident Happened in New Or,eans
Early Last Night-Deceased Was
Popular Here, a Mason and a Mem
ber of the Odd Fellows.

The Daily News was advised last
night by wire of the accidental death
of Hon. W. A. Aaron, who was run
down at an early hour last night in
New Orleans by ST Charles avenue
car.
Mr.. Aaron resided in this city for
quite a while, having come here from
Georgia in 1905. Shortly after his ar
rival he formed law partnership
with Hon. G. w. Ellis, which lasted
about eighteen months ago, when he
became so enthusiastic over railroad
projecting that he left this city and
became identified with a railroad pro-
noting corporation which had in view
the building OF a railroad from Bir-
mingham by way of Hattiesburg to
Baton Rouge.
Shortly after Mr. Aarons arrival in
Hattiesburg, the Merchants Protec-
tive Association was organized and he
was made the secretary in which ca
pacity he served during his stay in
this city.
| He was well liked by a host of
! friends who will regret to learn of
his untimely demise and while in this
! city made quite record as a prac
titioner as well as promoter of any
thing looking to the upbuilding of the
city.
Mr.. Aaron was an active Mason
and Odd Fellow, and in the event that
his relatives cannot be located. in
which trouble is being experienced,
his remains will be taken in charge
by one or both of these orders.

indignation to rise to every honest
cheek.
Texas Democracy is compelled by
this emergency to stand forth and
prove to the nation the metal of the
Democratic conscience and the value
of Democratic promises. If within
its strongest fortress our party were
unable to maintain it's own honor,
with what grace could it ask to be
intrusted with the keeping of the ma
tional honor? If it sends it's Burton
to congress, rather than to prison, as
did Republican Kansas, is it likely
that it will be permitted to lodge it's
national chiftain in the White
House?
Il believe with all my heart that
the national Democracy is doomed to
meet disaster in 1908 compared with
which the calamity of 1904 will con-
trast as saengerfest, if Bailey shall
go back to the senate with not out
ward sign of disapproval. We are not
as yet chargeable with his crimes,
because the whole world knows that
he successfully concealed them un-
til after the Democratic primary last
year. Yet we cannot escape the
charge of ratification of Baileyism as
party creed unless we make haste
to put the seal of emphatic condem-
nation upon it. Bailey is even now
preparing to assert upon the floor of
the senate that his conduct has re.
ceived the approval of the Democratic
party and the people of Texas"

CONCERN
ENTERS HATTIESBURG
MINUS STATE LICENSE

Mr.. Watts has been devoting his time
to the people of the city of Hatties-
burg and has been casting any amount
of literature abroad.
One of the greatest inducements Of
fered by the new organization is a
$500 funeral benefit at the nomenal
cost of 80 cents per month, and this
without medical examination. 1t
claims to be "a loyal, patriotic or
ganization, fraternal and beneficial,
strictly non-partisan and non-secta-
rian."
1t claims to have home for the or
phans in Ohio, which is kept up by
the order, has sick fund, and many
other features calculated to appeal to
those who are not informed as to its
real standing in the State.
The Daily News would advise the
citizens of Hattiesburg, if they have
not already parted from their money
in joining this whirlwind organiza-
ton, to hold back until they have
thoroughly investigated the matter,
and they will find that they have acted
well.
The Daily News man made an effort
to see Mr.. Watts last night and called
at all hotels in search of him but to
no avail. 1t is understood that he
had departed for Meridian.
