That our american Forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly 'attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigation until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

Jewish Criminality in N. Y.

Police Commissioner T. A. Bingham,
OF New York. has authorized the puo-
lication OF the following statement in
the North American Review in rela-
ton to his article on Foreign Grim
dnals In New York" which appeared
In that periodical:
my attention has been called TO
serious complaint. made by Jewish
citizens concerning a passage In an
article recently published in The
North American Review, entitled For
eign Criminals in New York in which,
! said that, under existing conditions,

lion Hebrews, mostly Russian, In the
city Jone-fourth of the population)
perhaps half OF the criminals should
be OF that race and IN which COM
ment was made on the percentage OF
Jewish boys in the House of Refuge.
my purpose In writing the article
was not to publish statistics, nor 10
enter upon a scientific inquiry into
the race or religion of those charged
with criminality, but solely TO make q
pIea for a secret-service fund In order
that criminality might be more effec-
lively dealt with than is now possible.
"To Indicate the necessity. for addi-
tional weapons to cope with crime.
Il was pointed cut that crimes of vari-
Gus kinds are committed by those OF
our population who are OF foreign
origin which cannot be adequately
reached by the police force as now
constituted. II was only incidentally

basement after the flames had been ex
tinguished. Mary Nolan. fourteen year
old. another daughter of the janitress, i!

been burned.
The explosion wrecked the front o
the building and the fire spread rap

of the chemicals stored in the base
ment The employees of the Pabst Chem
ical Company escaped. though sew
eral were injured by flying glass and
debris They were nearly all girls. The
building was almost a total wreck.
