Last Years Tragedies.

according to the Chicago Tribune
3,143 passengers were killed on rail-
roads in 1908 and 1926 were Sc
riously injured. These figures do not
include any OF the railroad employees.
This. says the Greenville News, is
certainly an alarming record and 1t
suggest the necessity OF taking steps
to prevent such a loss Of life. Ac-
cording to the last census, the deaths
from alcoholism were 2,Sll for the
year in which the census was taken;
yet this record is actually surpassed
by the number Of deaths among rail-
road passengers.
The homicidal record of 1908 sur
passed that Of 1907. but did not quite
reach that OF 1905. There were dur
ing the year s.5s2 homicides, over
half Of which resulted from Quarrels;
7Se from liquor. 712 by highwaymen,
67a from jealousy and 451 infanticIde.
The rest were from various causes.
During the year. 1913 highwaymen
were themselves killed. as against 7l2
travellers killed by highwaymen.
There were only 90 legal executions
during the year, Of which 5s were In
the South and SO In the North. A
majority of those executed were
whites.
The Chicago Tribunes annual stat
istical record shows an increase I'm
the number Of lynchings for the year
In 1907 the record fell to 63, the low
est yets observed since the war. This
year 1t rises to an even 100, all Of
which, but three, took place In the
South. The distribution was as fol-
lows: Alabama. 6; Georgia, 1s; Mis-
sissippi. %: Texas. p1; Kentuckey, 10;
Tennessee, 8; Florida, 4; Arkansas,
1; North Carolina, l.; South Carolina.
1; Louisiana. 8; Virginia. l. uIi-
nois. 2; California, 1.
The hunting casualties show a
slight reduction over those of 1907.
There were 166 hunters killed, and
126 injured. We find that 36S deaths
must be charged up to our sports and
pastimes, while the number of injur-
ed was $500. 1t appears that 80 per-
sons were killed on baseball fields
and SO seriously wounded, while 13
football players were killed and 296
injured. The roller skate, golf, wrest-
ling, sprinting. racing, basketball,
prize fights, scenic railroads. bicycles
and balooning all had their victims.
We celebrated the Fourth of July by
killing 1O3 children and injuring
2,S12. Rocking the boat cost eight
lives, and shooting unloaded pistols
cost as many as Al.
In reviewing the disasters of the
year just passed the most appalling
loss of life occurred in Italy, the dis
aster beirg greater in magnitude than
any yet record. The disaster, aggregat-
ing with all others for 1908, totals a
loss of life of more than a quarter
million souls. The fire loss in this
country for the year amounted to
S172, ,O00,000, which was about S2O,-
eOO,O0Omore than those Of 1907. Chel-
sea, Massachusetts, has the record for
a loss of $6,00O,OOO. From wars and
epidemics the world has lost 10000
persons during the year. The embez-
zlers of 1908 managed to get away
with the neat little sum Of $13,555-
$50. OF the flnanciers engaged i'm

this law as 1t Is proposed is because,
strange as it may seem, We will be
relieved thereby Of all necessity Of
bringing suit to collect grocery and
other supply bills by legal process.
chant has the law behind him he Is
going to make some effort to pay his
bills, however hard up he may be,
and it is my experience that almost
every business man will give a good
rating to customer who pays some
thing on his delinquent account every
month, however little the payment
may be.
There are many things the general
public does not understand. In the
first place, if one Of my customers gets
behind and begins to trade somewhere
else and asking credit, the chances
are that within day or two the other
merchant will telephone me to inquire
what the mans rating is. If he has
not tried to tote square with me can
not be expected to give him good
rating.
"No one outside of the trade can
have any idea of the hundreds of dol
lars that are lost by the merchants o!
a city like Cedar Rapids every veal
through dead beats. Of course, tbs
merchants do not lose all of that mon
ey. Why? Because they are COMPEL
ed to charge their paying customers
just little bit more on everything tc
make up for their losses on the dead
beats.
But surely we are entitled to some
protection. There is man in this
town whom I carried for months, pc
cause his wife was ill. Ate. she had
an operation and got on her feet again
urged the fellow to pay up, and ne
invited me to 60 to hades with my
bill, although he was we'll able to pay
me a little something until he was
squared up. Another man ran large
bill and left the state when begin tt
urge him a little; and under the pres
ent Iowa law, l am unable to sent
that bill out Of the state to collect it
Surely there can be no valid objection
to the 10 per cent clause in the Law
we are asking"

NIZED MR. BLYTHE AS ONE OF
THE BRIGHTEST MINDS IN THE
PROFESSION.

the Burlington railroad and promi
nent Iowa political leader, died sud
denly at his hunting lodge near Wa

John Junkin, the self-confessed
murderer of Clara Rosen, will not
be arraigned before the Wapello

less his attorneys appear in court

trial. Fearful that his presence

for safety would have to accom-
pany the prisoner, Judge M. A.

authoritiyely that he would not
be arraigned until the next term

his appearance here to enter a plea
The grand jury continues today to
near the evidence of witnesses bear
Ing on the case, and it Is likely that a
report will be made in court late this
afternoon. The jury has heard all the
testimony relating to the departure. OF
the girl from her home and her ulti
mate discovery in the abandoned Gel
lar at the corner of Dare and Cara
streets, and the evidence now being
adduced bears upon the actions OF
Junkin, from the time he was first
arrested and released until he was
again placed in Jail shortly after dis
losing of the diamond stone to Pawn
broker Redman. All the details of the
severe sweating he was subjected to
in the Abba Jail will be told by ell
the officers who figured in the pro-
cess of quizzing that resulted In his
sworn confession.
Weaver viii be Held.
Frank Weaver, the colored man,
whom Junkin at one time during his
series of confessions, implicated will
be held in custody here until afte:. the
trial of Junkin. AS he is believed to
know more or less Of the murder.
While it is not believed he had any
hand in the commission of the afro
cious deed, Junkin states that ne
knew Of his (Junkin's) possessing the
diamond ring. Chief Gallagher stated
this morning that Weaver would be
held here The police department is
now in communication with the Gales
burg authorities on the robbery Weav-
er is supposed to have committed in
the Illinois city. A picture of Weaver
was taken in the city Jail and Chief
GERS at Galesburg.
Hunter Also Snapped.
Three hundred dollars Is the reward
expected by the Ottumwa police for
the capture of Frank Hunter, the col.
ored man wanted at Ottawa, ILL.,. who
is now in custody. Chief Gallagher
when photographing Weaver, also had
several views OF Hunter taken and
will furnish the Ottawa officials with
his pictures when they arrive here.
Hunter, according to Gallagher, is
wanted for the attempted murder Of q
woman. The story the chief tells of
the prisoner is to the effett that he
called on the woman one night and
failing to gain admittan e, broke in
the door, Finding the woman in conf
pany with another negro, shooting
ARRAY became at once in motion.
Hunter claims that he shot in self,
defense. but the police put little cred
ance in his story While no advice has
been received from the Illinois author,
tiles on the reward, it is generally un,
derstood that the state has offered
$3.50 and the city of Ottawa the other
$3.50. 1t is not known when the OF
tawa officials will arrive here for the
prisoner.
