Crime In New York City.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26. Although six
criminal courts are at work in New
York, they cannot keep pace with the
crime wave which is now sweeping
over the city. The criminal calendar
today carries 1871 cases, while a
year ago there were on the calendar
but 54l cases.
There are 1928 prosiners in the Tombs
a year ago there we're l9l. Today's
figure breaks all records in New York.
The grand jury has already reported
on the crowded condition of the
Tombs and the warden states that un.
less people stop committing crimes it
will be necessary to constructan addi-
ton to the city's picturesque
prison"
William Travers Jerome says that
the increase is due to the natural in.

the American Sngar Refining company
to recover millions of dollars, of
which it is charged the government
has been defrauded in the last 10 years,
are to begun by the United States de-
partment of Justice as soon as the
computation of the total amount of
the government claim is completed by
the treasury officials now engaged in
the work.
From estim ates now made by those
close in touch with the secret work of
the customs officials, it is declared
the total to be claimed will amount to
more than s.. 900, 900. This sum repre-.
sents the difference between the duty
paid the sugar trust since the passage
of the Dingley tariff act, and the
amount that shonld have been
paid, according to the govern
ment's claim, but which is alleged
to have been evaded by the use of

Serious Riot At Lethbridge.

PORTLAND, Dec. 27.--An Oregoniau
special from Lethbridge, Alberta, says
because they believed prominent
citizen had been murdered in aChinese
restaurant, 1000 men raided the
oriental quarter late Christmas night
and left a wreck behind. Restaurants
and laundries were smashed, doors
and windows and entire fronts of
buildings were reduced to splinters.
The regular police of the town were
powerless and the brigade of mounted
police had to be called out to quell
the riot.
1t was just after 8 o'clock that the
mob began to form. The story had
got abroad that Harry Smith, one of
the best known ranchers of the cattle
district, of which this vicinity is the
center, had been fatally wounded in a
restaurant. Curiously enough, neither
Smith nor anyone else had been hurt,
but even the police were misled by the
tale, and two orientals were placed
under arrest, charged with his murder.

How Prisoners Read,

1T Is against the rule for them to

there are peepholes, to which the Jail
ers come noiselessly, seeing that all
the rules are enforced.
''The prisoner who simply must read
pastes with bit Of porridge his jour-

the peephole. He sits down on the
door yard or two away and holds his
dustpan In one hand and his brush in
the other. In this awkward and weari

out of his head from strain, he reads
away for dear life.

The Discovery of Iron.

The stone age, bronze age and iron
age so overlap one another it is i'm
possible to say just when one begins
or ends. Men began to use both bronze
and iron long before stone had ceased
to be used. In fact, America was in
the stone age so late as its discovery
by Columbus 400 years ago. 1t Is safe
to say that history proper and the
iron age were born together anywhere
from 5000 to 10000 years ago. 1t IS
more than likely that men gained their

AGAINST STOCK GAMBLING.
Congress May Impose Tax On Deals
That Are Speculative.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-With bills

ton and grain already introduced the
preliminaries of the crusade against
Speculative" buying and selling of
commodities will be completed as soon
as congress re.convenes by the pre-

pork and provisions. Thus the anti.
option movement will have interest all

his door plate. Stocks are expected

ever, that those who thus far have
introduced bills on the subject haven't
the correct method in view. He thinks
the only way to stop stock exchange
and board of trade gambling is by
taxation. He is pondering a measure
along that line. He would have all
sales for future delivery taxed SO
heavily as to drive out deals where
actual delivery is not contemplated.
His measure will provide that the
secretary of the treasury refund the
tax collected on all sales where it is
