WASHINGTON. March 2S.-Refuta- ton Of the claim of political and so- clal reformeIs that the number of criminals is increasing each year in the United States is made in a report Of Dr. J. A. Hill. chief statistician for revision and results in the census bureau. The figures in the report seem 10 justify the claims of the reformers.
 The preliminary count of tho priS on population includes inmates of the United States penitentiaries, state risons, county ia'is, almshouses. and institutions for the insane and feeble minded. According to this prelim- mary count the prison population on January l. 1910, was 109,3ll Of this number only 2625 were United States prisoners, confined in the penitentiar- ies at Atlanta. Georgia: Fort LeaveE- worth, Kansas; and MciNel lslandl Washington When one thinks of the seventy millions of people that live in this great land of ours and only one hundred thousand are in prison it IS evidence Of the respect for law pos ! sessed by the American people.
 Very Few Lsw-breskers
 The number of commitments 10 prison during the year 1910 were 462,- 53O and the number of prisoners dls- ! charged during the year on account oi | expiration lof sentence, pardons or death was 45S.g96. The number or violations Of the law as shown by the report in which the offender had . been sentenced to prison IS exceed | ingly small considering the popula- tion. Oniy one person in every lSO.OO0 committed some breach of the law. The last previous census of pris- oners was taken June 80, 1904 and at that time ttc prison population was 14g.691. A glance at the two re- ports will lead one to say that the re- ! formers are justified in their state ments. for the figures of this years report are much larger than the re- port of 1904. The two reports can. not, however, be compared for the reason that the 1910 report enumera' ton included cases of imprisonment for the non-payment of fines imposed by courts while the census in 1904 did
 not include such cases. Accordingly
 the marked increase in the prison Dopulation, and more especially in the
 number of commitments does nol
 show an increase in crime but is
 largely accounted for by the differ
 once in the scope Of the two censuses
 Taking this into consideration there
 is very little difference in the mum
 Der Of prisoners.
 Fewer Juvenile Delinuqents.
 Later the census bureau will bt

parable with the enumeration of eight years ago.
 A. slight decrease in the number of juvenile dehnquents is show in the 1910 report over the report of 1904. in 1910 in the reform schools and in- stitutions of that class there were 22. 903 inmates. In the same institu- tions in 1904 there were 23.O34.
 In the penal institutions 7O.0G9 O1 the convicts are males and 4,701 are females. While SLIP were in the ill., stitutions in 1904 only 51.172 were en- gagged at productive labor. Of the remainder q, ,403 were engaged in prison duties such as cooking, wash ing. cleaning and other domestic ser vices. On an average 2,77i were sick and l06SG were idle because no work was provided for them or because they were purposely kept in confine- ment without labor. The total value of the goods produced by convict la bor was $34,276.2O5. This sum repre- sents the market value for which the goods were sold, or when used in the institutions in which they were pro duced the estimated amount for which the goods might have been sold.
 
 The number of paupers in Aims houses on January 1. 1910 was 33,- -g44 The number admitted during the year were S1.4l2 and the discharges or deaths 77,SS6.
 One of the most striking features of the report just made public is the large increase in the number Of cases of insanity among this class of DOT ulation In the last few years insan- ity has been the plea of almost every crime that has been committed. Many feign insanity and are committed e the insane asylums. Some are ad- judged insane and are sent 10 an asylum for the criminal insane and are afterward declared sane and al lowed to go free. .n 1904 the mum Der of inmates in insane asy lums was lJO.151. In 1910 this number hal increased to iS4,123. The number of commitments to insane asyiums dur 1 ing the year 1904 was 43.622 In l9id there were 5S,62S commitments.
