FEWER MURDERS LAST YEAR.

The record of homicides in the
United States during 1911, as compiled
by the Chicago Tribune, makes a total
of S,212, as compared with 1915 in
the previous year Fifty-one murders
are credited to the Black Hand" The
suicides numbered 1922, as compar.
ed with 12.e0S in 1910, the proportion
as between male and female remain
ing about the same, the former being
twice as many as the latter.
But the startling feature OF the sui
eide record is the increasing number
OF those who take their lives because
of i'll health. There were seventy-four
legal executions, as compared with
1o4 the year before. The record
shows a decrease in public stealings.
The number of lynchings decreased
from seyenty-four to seventy-one, of
which nineteen occurred in Georgia.
