That Many Were imported During the
Year 1911.
New York, Jan. 3.-Always a baro-
meter of the financial and industrial
condition of the country, the value
of diamonds. pearls and other precious
stones imported through the New York
custom house last year gives unmis-
taxable evidence of prosperity. Only
once in the history of the custom
house was the value of gems imported
risen above S41.OOO,OOO, the figure
named yesterday by large dealer as
a conservative estimate of the impor-
tations for the year
The extent to which the country
has recovered from the depression OF
1907 is indicated in comparison OF
the value of gems brought to this
country each year since that time. In
1908 precious stones were not given
extensively as Christmas presents, nor
were they purchased as investments.
AS a result only $12,S62, $50 worth OF
gems reached the United tSates that
year.
Two years before, in 1906, the high
water mark i'm the value of diamonds
and other precious stones imported
had been reached. duties being paid
on gems worth s4s.57s.4SS. Last year
the value OF gem imports was $40.-
56e,i4S. The monthly importations this
year have ranged from S3,O5O.47O i'm
January TO n little more than 50, 900, =
900 in August
Ninety-six per cent of the gems inn
ported in this country come through
the port OF New York. During No
vember sSOsS.9S4 worth OF gems were
declared here, of which s2.SSs.95l were
in cut stones and pearls and s695,OS2 in
uncut stones.

IN MICHIGAN PRISONS.
Percentage Is Ninety Two For Every
100000 Population.


One person in every 500 Is in Jail or
prison, according to figures just made
public by the United States census
bureau. The ratio in Michigan is
slightly lower than that for the whole
country. being one in about every 1000.
The prison population of the United
States is 1859, according to the CEN
sus bureaus calculations. and during
"a year 479,763 are committed to Jail
or prison. These figures include every
class of offense from vagrancy To
murder In the first degree They also
include cases in which the offender was
committed to jail or prison for the
non payment of a fine
In Michigan on Jan. /, 1911. there
were 2,592 persons in penal institu-
lions, or ninety-two> for every 100000
population. The number OF prisoners In
proportion to population is smallest in
South Dakota. forty eight per 100000.
the the largest in Nevada. 1853 per 1O0,-
900. II Is pointed out however. in con-
nection with these figures, that they
do not mean that one state is neces-
sarily wicked or criminal beyond an
other. The number OF commitments TO-
Jail or prison is determined I'm no small
degree by the statutes and the practice
of the courts relative TO the punish
ment of minor offenses. Ofenscs
which in some statcs would be punish
cd by a few days in jail. may In other
states be punished by fine.
These figures are also affected by
the degree OF vigilance which the poll
Ice and the courts exercise in arresting
and Furnishing lawbreakers. Again.
there are more laws to break In some
states than in others. This is general
" the case in urban as compared with
rural communities. since many local
