It is reported that the Pennsylva-

the use of the telephone for communi-
cation between the locomotive cab
and the caboose of long freight trains.
This will do away with the neces-
sity of signaling by means of lamps,
hand signals and whistles. In foggy
weather and at night such a means
of communication would expedite the

MURDER kECORD
GREAT INCREASE OF CRIME IN
THE UNITED STATES.
Andrew d. White Says This Country
Is Refuge for Anarchists and
Cut Throats Generally.

A great host Of accomplished Eu-
ropean anarchists and criminals Is
soon coming to this country to join
the thugs, yeggmen and blackhand-
ers who already enjoy American hos
pitality, according to Andrew D..
White, former president of Cornell
university and ex-minister to Russia
and Germany.
In statement to the press, DR..
White urges the immediate passage
OF laws TO bar from the shores Of the
Unitei States flood Of undesirables
who he declares will hasten thither
rs soon az England expels them. He
says:

London plans to be we'll rid OF soon,

Ineffective wavs of dealing. with them
and its facilities for clearing them
of guilt is becoming more and more
attractive for them every day.
.In- the United States the number
of murders during the year just
closed was 8,975, an increase OF 800
over the year preceding. Only one
murderer in Sc was given capital

I'm the sundry murder trials, the
statement was frequently male that
our. administration OF criminal JUS
tIce as regards mur1er hes become a
farce. These trials were by most of
those who conducted them, and, In
iced by the public at large, evidently
considered not as efforts to secure
Justice, but simply as games, and
mostly between pettifoggers, the
iud.es appearing much like umpires
at games of football. The men whom
we glorify n our courts are the men
who can clear murderers In spite OF
ndoubted evidence of guilt. The
prosecuting attorneys are largely
chosen from among those Of least en-
per;enco in the legal profession and
are in man.. ways absurdly handi-
capped. Naturally then the criminal
class Is becoming in many parts o,
our country bo5y somewhat fav-
ored BY politicians.
"Another thing Is the fact that our
government really seems to make no
strenuous effort to prevent their
coming here. No examination OF
doubtful characters made In our own

tions should he made at our consn-
late abroad wtere police records can
be obtained and where testimony OF
