The reading public has become thoroughly aroused
Everybody is anxious that the murderer be apprehended

Closing the Saloons Would
Help Somewhat

The coroner of Cook county has made his report
covering the past four years. 1t is startling docu-
ment it ought awaken Chicago citizens to the fact
that something is radically wrong with the machinery
of government and with social conditions it ought to
put every good citizen into action for better things
This report reveals the fact that only 1916 per cent
Of the population of the county die of natural causes
In 1911 there were 523 suicides and 22I homcides in
the county.
In his report the coroner deplored the fact that
homicide is the increase.
Homicide in Chicago is on the increase to the
alarm of all lawabidng citizens, he stated. "In four
years this office held nquests 772 homicides, being
average of 1913 per year. 1t is not my duty to do
than make primary investigation of the causes
but the gravity of the situation calls for the inte-
gent and immediate remedy.
Last year 22I homicides occurred in Cook county,
while in London, with population three times as
great there but thrtythree. If Chicago had the
population Of London to maintain it's percentage of
homicides it would have had last year 663 homcides
against thrty-three in London This subject is
well worthy of legislative investigation
1t is fact beyond dispute that the saloon is re-
sponsbe for tremendously large percentage of these
homicides To the Sunday saloon must be charged
the account for of them Close the saloons and
the murder rate will show marked decline. Close
the Sunday saloon and it will greatly remedy condi
tons Not only large number of these murders
committed in the saloon ITSELF and by those under the
influence of liquor, but the saloon fosters and
ages murder by making escape from justice easy for
the murderer through bringing to bear it's baneul in
fuence on the police and even on the courts them
selves Certainly one of the most potent remedies for
reducing the number of homicides in Cook county is
the enlistment Of its 1000 and more saloons.

BUDAPEST, September 17-(Spe-
eial to The Advertiser) THE opening
session of the Hungarian Parliament
today was marked by a wild outburst
of fractional feeling which was prevent
ed from becoming a free fght only
through the Intervention of party lead
ers.
The uproar began as soon as Count
Stephen Tioza, the president of the
lower house, entered the chamber.
He was received with cries of abuse
mingled with kissing and whistling.
His calls for attention only caused the
disorder to break out with renewed
violence. The royal decree opening the
session was read without anybody hear
ing word of it, and it was followed
by what looked likely to develop into
free fight.
An opposition member tauntingly
asked a deputy of the government par
ty whether he had his revolver with
him. This raised feeling to fever heat,
and the members were on the point of
coming to blows when Count julius
Andrassay and other leaders interven-
ed and separated the deputies who had
threatened each other. The tumult,
however, continued.
Only few spectators were in the
chamber and neither police nor mill
tary appeared, although disorder had
been anticipated.

LOOKING FOR SCALP
OF SHERIFF JARRETT
Democratic Crouch Faction on
Windward Trip Given Cold
Reception.

The cold and chilly stare met the
caravan of Democratic vengeance
which set out last week to tour the
country districts for the purpose of
knocking ON the head the little re.
nomination boom of Sheriff Jarrett.
Kaneohe took first honors in the cold
shoulder contest and the delegates
from the windward precinct even re-
fused to caucus to listen to the glow
ing words of Gabriel K. Keawehaku,
Olepau and the other ambassadors of
the Crouch.
According to the story that was
brought back from Kaneohe yesterday
yards and yards of misinformation
were sprung upon the windwardites,
who, however, did not bite very hard.
Keawehaku, according to the report,
produced long list of about one
hundred names. Only forty are Demo
Gratis, asserted Keawehaku indignant
ly. Look at all the Chinese, Japanese
and Filipinos, he exclaimed. They
can't even vote-you poor Hawaiians
ought to have their jobs. And these
people are all Republicans, too. Jar
rett is a Republican.
Then he produced another list of
names. All women, he continued, a
hundred or so of them on the police
force who haven even got a vote.
You ought to have their jobs, too, he
assured his audience. Think of it, he
