WASHINGTON LISTED
TWENTY,N|NTH IN
RATE OF SUICIDES
Eighty-nine Killed Them
selves Here During Year
of 1911.

Based on the rate of suicides per
100. 600 population for a period OF ten
years, washington stands twenty-ninth
in n comparative list of the 100 large
cities In the United States, according
to figures compiled by Frederick l..
Hoffman for the Spectator.
During the ten years from 1901 to 1910,
inclusive, there were 6l3 suicides In the
District Of Columbia. The rate per
thousand for this period was 1913. In
1911 there were eighty-nine suicides, the
rate for the year being 265, or an in
crease of GO per cent over the preceding
ten years.
The largest actual increase in the sui
eide rate last year occurred at Elmira.
N. Y, which during 1911 experienced the
highest suicide rate for any one of the
hundred cities, except San Diego, Cal.
The rate in Elmira was i7.S per 100000,
as against general average in all the
cities of 1876.
1T is decidedly suggestive" says the
writer, that the rise in the suicide
rates should have been confined chiefly
to relatively small cities, where II IL
generally assumed that the stress and
strain OF life Is considerably less pro-
nounced than in cities of larger size"
According TO the table there were
seventy-nine cities with population OF
less than $4,000, which, considered rs A
group. experienced a suicide rate Of
1873 per 10000 of population during 1911
In contrast to an average of only 1876
during the decade ending with 1910
There was. therefore, during 1911 an
actual increase in the suicide rate of
small cities of So per 10000 of popula-
tion, equivalent to 456 per cent. In
twenty-one cities, with $4,000 or over,
the suicide rate for 1911 was 1876 per
lO0,0 900 Of population, against an average
of 22.7 for the decade ending with 1910.
There was, therefore, an actual de-
crease in the suicide rate of large cities
of 80 per 100000 OF population, equira-
lent to 14.l per cent.
During the decade ending with 1910 the
suicide rate of small cities was decided
ly below the rate for large cities. or.
respectively, 1876 per 100000 Of popula-
ton, against 22.7-a difference of 81 per
100, ,OO of population In 1911. however,
the situation was reversed and the sui
eide rate for small cities was 1875
against 1875 for large cities, or 0.3 pei
100, 900 higher. Had the suicide rate OF
small cities for 1911 been the same as
during the previous decade, the actua
number of suicides in these seventy
stead Of 1885, the actual difference being
43S, and the difference in the rate o..
per 1000 OF population. II would re-
quire an extended analysis of individual
suicides TO establish, even with approx
mate accuracy, the true cause of this
reversal of normal conditions. since the
change is In marked contrast to tho
long established experience, that the
suicidal rate in small cities Is decidedly
below the average for large communi
ties. Since the suicide record OF smal
cities for 1911 includes 1885 suicides
against 1856 suicides in large cfues
the numbers for both groups are entire
~ sufficient for a safe conclusion.

SUPREME COURT HOLDS UP
DENVER SPECIAL ELECTION

Last Thursday the supreme court
issued a supersedeas staying the
execution of the order of Judge
Teller of the district court in con-
nection with the special election to
establish commission form of gov
eminent in Denver. This probably
means that the special election Will
not be held before the regular cleo
ton in May. Judge Teller has is
sued an order directing the city au-
thorities to call the special election
Immediately. The supreme court
took the position that there were
too many questions involved that
should be reviewed carefully by that
Tribunal. The Rocky Mountain
News says that Gov. Shafroth be-
came quite exasperated over the
courts holding up this election and
quotes him as saying: These dam
technicalities-its mighty hard for
the people TO get what they want"
They (the supreme COURT should
have decided it off the bat and
saved time. They say they will hear
the case at once but at that. 1t
seems as II anything the people de-
mand is always hedged up and sew
ed up with foolish legal TECHNICAL
ties"
The question which the governor
wanted decided "off the bat" and
which he referred to as damned
legal technicalities' involves a COM
,lete change in Denver's govern
ment from its present form to
commission form. Gov. Shafroth
says the reporter misuuoted him.
