CRIME INCREASES IN NEW YORK.
Koenig, in Giving Figures, Ascribes
Growth to Business Depression.

Albany, N. Y.-An increase in
crime in this State in the last veal is
shown in a report to be submitted to
the Legislature by Secretary of State
Koenig, giving the statistics of crime
as compiled by him from records of
county clerks. The total convictions
N courts of Special Sessions last year
in the State were 1885, as against
4S,579 in 1907, an increase of 9216.
OF this number, 5000 were women,
an increase of ninety-seven..
Koenig believes the increase in
crime was caused by the business de-
preston. He reports a decrease of
303 convictions for intoxication, the
total outside of New York City being
1916. Monroe County leads with
$3.50 convictions. Erie is next with
2036.

Ralph Bristol. Oregon University
Student, Was Ducked in Icy Water.
Portland, Ore.-Cowering in a
padded cell, Ralph Bristol, whose
parents are pioneer residents of this
city, shivers at the sound of a step
in one of the corridors of the State
Insane Asylum, to which he has been
committed as the result of being
hazed by upper classmen at the State
University. Young Bristol was
ducked in an icy bath, and when he
emerged from the rigid water his
reason had fed.
Bristol graduated from high school
last June and entered the University
of Oregon at the opening of the fall
semester. He was a brilliant stu.
dent in high school, and up to the day
of the hazing had occupied a promin.
ent position in his class at college.
By selling newspapers and doing odd
jobs out of school hours he saved
$1,000 with which to- put himself
through the university.
