Ch1cago.-The crime and casualty
records for 1908, as collected by the
Chicago Tribune in it's annual sum-
mary, show some interesting phases.
Probably the most striking feature
is the steady increase in the number
of suicides and the great percentage
of these that are traceable to the
business depression and embarrass-
ments of the year. Self-destruction
due to these S grew fiyefold over
the record of the veal before, despite
the fact that the financial squeeze be-
gan early in the fall of 1907. AS a
weapon of self-destruction the revol-
yer gained greatly in favor.
EmbeZzlements involved a larger
total than in 1907, and a peculiar
phase of this record is that more than
two-thirds of this crime, figured ON a
monetary basis, is chalked up against
bank officials and employees. The re-
form wave seems to have had a good
effect on public officials.
The homicide record-deaths of
all kinds by personal violence-in-
creased over 1907, but fell short of
that of the previous year. The death
toll for holiday sports aggregated
368 deaths and 1920 injuries.
The number of suicides for 1908
was 1882 as reported in the public
press. The following list shows the
steady increase of self-murder: 1899.
$40; 1900, 6735; 1901, 7245;
1902, 1921; 1903, 1897; 1904, 9240:
1905, 1882; 1906, 1925; 1907, 1O.-
1872, and 1908, 1882.
The causes of these suicides are
stated as follows, the classification,
as in the last Of homicides, being a
general one: Dependency, 1913; un-
known, 1541; insanity, $40; domes-
tic infelicity, 778, ill health, 718;
business losses, 632; liquor, 536, and
disappointed in love, 519.
