NEW Y0RKERS
 GET NERVOUS
They Are Alarmed at In crease of Homicides and Fearful That Wall Street Is Getting to be a Back Number.

NEW YORK. Aug. 11.-On top of the scandal centering around the murder of a Well-known gambler and the charges of police complicity in graft and crime over which New York is stirred to it's very depths. comes a shocking revelation of the prevalence of homicide in the city and the comparatively slight risk that attends it's commission. The records show that one murder took place in New York every day during the month of July and that in only about cre-third of the cases were arrests made While this is startling in crease over similar periods in pre- NIous years. it represents only 8 slight advance over the record that has been maintained for the past six months. According to the figures made public by the police cOmmis- sioner himself, the number of mur- ders during the first half of the year amounted to 40 as compared with S1 during the first six months of 1911. Counting out Sundays and holidays, therefore. the record stands at an average of a killing a day with the exception of eight days since the beginning of the present year. The remarkable feature of the report is the large number of murders attrb- uted to gang fights and feuds Never in the recent history of the city have these gangsters been so numerous or so bold in their operations which have now led to an insistent demand for the cleaning out of their haunts in all parts of the city While cap ital crime has almost doubled during the present year however lesser of fences seem to have decreased in number. Complaints of assault and robbery have fallen off from 646 in 1911 to 315 this year. The reports of burglary number only 4054 as com pared to 5046 a year ago and com plaints against pickpockets have fallen from 433 to 90 The total of all complaints has decreased from 22 ,000 for 1911 to 1895. Criminals, however. are apparently becoming worse or else thier punishment more severe since the total of all sentneces of imprisonment so far inflicted has jumped from 4990 years for 1911 tO 6996 years for 1912. Conviction like wise have increased from 4575 to 76S6 and suspended sentences from 165 to 20S5 Altogether New York $ criminals seem likely to establish . new high record for violent lawless- ress in 1912 unless decisive action is promptly adopted for their SUD- | pression

Get rich quick men. promoters of in imaginary mines and others who now gain a precarious but sometimes highly profitable livelihood by turing money from the pockets of the in vesting public by the highly attrac- tive and deceptive bait of enormous profits will find it difficult to con- tinue their vocation in future if the highly attractive and deceptive bait of enormous profits will find it diff ficult to continue their vocation in future if the plans of an association which is being formed here this week are carried out. This new OrganiZa- tion is an association of American table banking firms engaged in sell
 ing investment securities. One of it's principal objects will be to scrutinize all investments offered to the public through members of the association and at the same time to protect in
 the ways of the fraudulent promoter and to make it impossible for him to do business. It is estimated that no less than s100,000,000 has been taken from the public in the past two years through the sale of fraud ulent securities by concerns operating from this city alone, so that it may be seen that there is an important field for the new association to cover

Thomas Jefferson Stone was typl- cal claim holder and prospector. lie came from Indiana. He had no teeth his hair was gray, his features sahoW and withered, and he looked sixty three or sixty-four. He told me, how ever that he was only forty-six. There was a cowed. placid, helpless ar about him, and yet in his eyes there was fire--faint and glimmering, the fire of a fading fanaticism. He was still the victim of an obsession. He had been twenty five years prospecting, pick ing out claims, hoping to strike It rich some day.
 I asked him how he lost his teeth He said by taking medicine good for neuralgia but too strong for the ivo- ries. I asked him why he didn't have

OTHER THINGS THAN THE WAR
Continued from Page D.

The army is said to have been voted in body by the government or kept in barracks.
 Many complaints also are made of infractions of the law eXempting from arrest all persons not taken in the act of committing fraud on the eve of the elections or throughout the day.
 In every case where the complaints were accompanied by any evidence or where the complaints were so frequent as to make the matter of importance, the government has promptly inves- tigated and punished the guilty to the extent of the law. Notwithstanding this many seats in the assembly win be hotly contested and in some places new elections will be necessary.

 Whether an automobile may be classed as a burglars implement or accessory is the interesting and dlt- ficult question that has been brought before the courts here. It is not con- tended of course that the automobile is to be regarded at all times and under all circumstances as an n- strument of laWbreaking, but only when it is employed by Violators of the statutes to carry them to or from the scenes of their exploits. The case in connection with which this inter esting problem has arisen and which is to be made a test came up through the borrowing of a car owned by a highly respectable resident of the city by his chauffeur who used 1t m aiding the escape of men who had rerpetrated $10,000 robbery. The chauffeur was arrested as an accom- seized the car which the authorities arc now attempting to cOnflscate on the ground that it was used as an implement of burglary and so became subject to seizure. The owner of the automobile naturally objects to thlS interpretation of the law and has brought suit to recover his property thus putting it up to the courts to decide whether an automobile under certain circumstances is to be classed along with jimmes, drills. nitro glvcerine and other implements for safe-cracking.

Whether Wall Street is actually played out is the astonishing Hues- tiOn being discussed here by brokers the long continued inactivity and dull ness of what in the past has been known as the worlds greatest specu- lative center The only answer so far discovered is the continued inactivity Of the stock market and this by some is taken as an indication in support of the theory that the Wall Street of old is vanishing At present d view of the exchanges and their surround ings resembles an afternoon tea party much more than it does the battle ground of bulls and bears or the Shearing pen of the lambs. One theory advanced to explain this quie- tude is that there has been d change in the method of distributing new issues of securities There is much discussion of recent dulness on the London Stock Exchange and the sup posed congestion of securities" aris- irG from the fact that of many is

 writers have taken up very large proportion.

new record for fasting extending over a period of twelve months and one week during which extended period net a single morsel Of food was consumed by the subject has been established here his remarkable record which far surpasses anything of the kind ever known was made not by a human being but by Prin- cess the twenty two foot python in the Zoo. After fifty three weeks Of fasting she finally consented to par take of a light meal in the shape or an eight pound pig which of course was consumed whole. Ordinarily, aC- curding to Headkeeper Snyder, py- thon will consume a thirty or forty pound pig every three weeks or so, when eating. Fatima, the other big python, followed this practice but not so Princess One of the most cu
