THE CORONER WAS BUSY
Four Sudden Christmas Deaths in
Kansas City, Kan.

Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 26.-Cor-
oner J. A. Davis passed anything but
a merry Christmas. I nfact it was
the busiest day he has spent since he
was elected to office, being summoned
to investigate four cases, two deaths
from shooting, one suicide and a sud
den death from heart disease.
In a quarrel over family troubles
Beverly Washington, who conducts a
pool hall. shot and killed his brother
in-law, Jesse Pope, at the formers
place OF business yesterday afternoon.
Both men are negroes.
No sooner had the cornorer dispos-
ed of this case when he was called to
Rosedale to view the body of Harry
Chesser, who died in the Kansas uni
versity hospital in that city from gun
shot wounds inflicted by H. e. DEM
ming Tuesday night at Merriam. Kan.
Chesser was saloonkeeper at 3043

had been employed for the past sew
eraI weeks as a construction hand by
the Santa Fe railroad, swallowed a
quantity of carbolic acid yesterday
afternoon in the Santa Fe restaurant
at Argentine and died before he could

OVER WOKKED COURTS.
Those in New York Can't Keep UP
With the Crime Wave.

New York, Dec. 26.-Although six
criminal courts are in operation in New
York they cannot keep pace with the
crime wave which has swept over the
city during the last year The criminal
calendar today carries 1,271 cases, while
a year ago there were on the calendar
but SAL cases. There are 1923 prisoners
in the Tombs, 23S awaiting trial and IS
awaiting the action of the grand jury.
A year ago there were but 191 prisoners,
62 awaiting trial and 129 awaiting the
action of the grand jury. Today's fig
ures break all records in New York.
The grand jury has already reported
on the crowded conditions of the Tombs
and the warden states that unless peo-
pie stop committing crimes it will be
necessary to build an addition to the
city's picturesque prison. District At
torriey William Travers Jerome says
that the increase is due to the natural
increase in population in New York
City.
There has been considerable sickness
among the criminal judges, which may
account in some measure for the slow
ness in trying criminal cases.
