A NATIONAL
United States Leads AL the World
in Number of Murders.

in Number of Murders.
That the number of criminal homi-
cides in the United States each year is
practically forty-three times greater
than in Canada and eight times great
er than in Belgium, which has the
greatest number of any European DUN
try: that ii the United States the ay-
erage criminal serves but seven years
Of a life sentence, and that at the pres
ent time only about n murderer in
every seventy-four is punished, We're
statements in an address delivered by
DR.. Andrew D. White, former president
of Cornell University and former am
bassador to Germany and Russia. He
said:
THE number of felonious homicides
per year per million population for
various countries follows. Canada, 3;
Germany, 4 to 5; England and Wales,
10 to IL; France, IA to Is; Belgium,
16; United States, more than 1923.
These figures are based on an average
taken for eight years.
ct seems impossible that on one
could be SO much more prevalent than
on the other, as in the case of Canada
and the United States. But the reason
is thai on one side law prevails and
not chicanery, and that on the other
side has taken place a breakup In the
administration OF criminal law.
"By far the greatest of all causes is
the fact hat the administration of
criminal law has become simply a
game. A trial Is a game between two
or three lawyers; the whole thing has
become very much a farce"

representations resulted in the order
ing Of co~urts-marial for Aud and Rob-
nett. There were three charges against
the oficers-conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman; assault, and
f%alsehood. The last charge was elm
mated by the judge advocate.
The affair created a good deal of
interest in Boston, and also in the
naval set in Washington. To the lay
man who can handle such affairs with
out to the courts and with
out undue publicity the whole matter
seems trivial. 1t seems like a temp
est in a teapot.

the effect decidedly pleasing. Glass

altering garments and other necessary
work

The many friends of Mr. X l. Haugen,

are this week congratulating him upon
reaching the thirty third mile post in his
business career. Through all these years,
his business has developed from very
small pretentions to magnificent

may continue to grow and thrive in his
business, and that the future may have
nothing but success, good health, and
prosperity for him. In recognition OF
his appreciation of his trade, he is giving
very substantial reductions in price al

KILLED BY THE TRAIN
OLAVUS O.. WOLD OF ST. OLAF,
STRUCK WHILE ASLEEP ON
THE TRACK.
Instantly Killed by Incoming Train
on the Bridge Near the Stand
ring Farm at Midnight
Monday,

Olavus o. Void, stranger in this
vicinity, met instantaneous death at
midnight Monday, while asleep on
the track on the railroad bridge be-
tween the school house and Stand
ring farm southwest of the city.
1t appears that ne came here
from st. Olaf, Clayton county. for
the purpose of making visit to his
uncle, T. A. Void, resident of this
city. He visited several places
about town Monday, and asked to
be directed to his uncle's residence,
but for some reason failed to find
it, and was cot seen by his uncle
until after his death. He registered
at the National Hotel, which was the
last seen of him until after he was
found killed.
Soon after the train rounded the
sharp corner near the Standring
farm the engineer thought the en-
CINE struck something, but came on
to town, still keeping the matter
in mind, and when ne got to the
station he spoke to the train men
about it and said he would stop the
train on the return trip and look.
He did so, and they found Void
badly mangled. Leaving the body
there they returned to DEBORAH, no.
titled the sheriff and then went out
to the spot where Wold's remains
were and brought them back to De-
oorah. Coroner Swezey being out
of town, Justice H. F. Barthell act
ed as coroner and jury found that
his death occurred in accordance
with the above facts.
The man was evidently sitting on
the track, and probably asleep. He
was struck in the forehead, and fell
over, the train running over his
right hip and leg, badly mangling
it, and also ran over his left leg.
Death was in all probability in
Simultaneous.
The remains were taken to T. j.
Brandt's undertaking rooms, and
given proper attention. Mr.. Void
folks were notified, and came up on
the Rock Island yesterday afternoon
for the remains.
Void was unmarried, 3S years of
age, and in his clothes a gold watch
and 1882 in money were found.
