DEATH CLAIMS ITS NUMBER
Grim Reaper Removes Several Promi-

LAW AND MEDICINE SUFFER MOST
of All Vacations These Lose More
Representatives - Alfred DHr-
low One of Keen Pub
lie Losses.

The law and medical professions suf-
fered a heavier blow at deaths hand dur
ing the year just over than did the mer-
cantile world or other occupations. Former
Judges Joel n. Cornish and Isaac 5. Has
cal died on June Z and January II, re-
spectively, while the attorneys summoned
included John n. Baldwin, who died April
is; Charles f. Clapp, March II, and Albert
Swartzlander, July Is. OF the medical pro-
fession the tragic Death of Or. Frederick
Rustin September ?, is sthl vivid in
memory. other physicians and surgeons
laid at rest were w. II. Christie, May p;
Victor H.. Coffman, August 4; Andrew II
Riley, January 81; Richard Stebbins, April
10: Peter Won Lockum. February 10.
In the world of active affairs there was
none whose death was more widely
mourned than that of Alfred Darlow. who
died October T.. A younger man whose
useful life was prematurely cut short was
George II. Palmer, only son of Captain IL
+. Palmer.
Omaha lost many good women in the
year Of grace, 1905. Prominent among these
was Mrs. Harriet Pritchard. daughter OF
A. j. Hanscom. who gave the park bear
ing his name TO the city. Mrs. Pritchard
who was recognized as one Of Omaha'l
foremost hostesses and social leaders. wa,
the mother Of Mrs. John L. Kennedy.
Among the good women gone during the

POLICE MAKE GOOD RECORD
Larger Force More Nearly Able to
Cope with Big Task Before
Department.

A substantial increase in the strength of
the police force and the continuance of
high standards of discipline and efficiency
marked the year just closed as a success
full and entirely creditable one.
Fifty-one men were added to the force.
There are 1903 patrolmen, as against sixty
eight in 1907.
The percentage of stolen property recov-
cred during the year is remarkable. Not
counting a drummer's trunk containing
about $4,000 worth of jeWelry, which was
stolen. taken out of the city, located and
returned along with the thief, within a
few hours by the detective force, S22, 900
worth OF stolen property has been recov-
cred. About s33, 500 worth of property was
reported stolen during the last twelve
months. The percentage OF property re-
covered last year was about So per cent,
which is considered high for any police
force. This does not count the single case
OF the $4,000 worth OF jewelry, in which
100 per cent was recovered. The police
officers are not counting it in their annual
report for the reason that. although il is
right that they should, It would make
their percentage so high that other police
departments would not believe them. And
they also modestly say that it was too
easy a job, anyway.
Crime and criminals have been checked
and punished to about the same extent
az in previous years. There have been
five murders, as against four in 1907, but,
on the other hand. more fugltives from
justice have been apprehended this year
OF the latter, amounting to li2 altogether.
ll2 were taken on criminal charges, twenty
eight were runaway children and four
were insane persons.
The five victims OF murderers during the
year were: Giuseppi Fiorenza. the Italian
brutally murdered and robbed on the river
bottoms; Hattie Rathburn, killed by her
husband, who committed suicide: Edna
Kenneth. shot by a disappointed lover; Eva
Hart. shot by Sewell Sleumau, who then
killed himself, and a supposed holdup man
who entered a lower Farnam street saloon
and threatened the bartender. This does
not include the case OF DIR, Frederick Rus
tin, whose case is considered as suicidal
