Starts Cleanup of Vice.

The circumstances surrounding this
crime and the subsequent developments
arising from it, constituted the most
earnest steps ever taken in probing mu-
nicipal corruption.
The immediate result of the Becker
crime was the opening of the aldermanic
investigation. which revealed the revolt
ing details of the alliance between the
police and the underworld.
Anothr event which stirred the heart
of the nation was the attempt to assas-
sinate Theodore Roosevelt, at Milwaukee,
by John Shrank. a New York crank,
who is now in an insane asylum.
In the matter of legislation, perhaps
the most important features were the
veto of the new Democratic Congress
tariff bills relating to wool, cotton, and
iron, and the farmers free list by Pres
ident Taft. and the defeat in Canada
of the reciprocity agreement.
Several important opinions were hand
ed down by the United States Supreme
Court. The chief of these being the opin-
ion touching the Union Pacific merger.
The action taken by the court resulted
in the dissolvinG OF the great railroad
combination which had been effected by
the late E. II. Hartman.
Another Supreme Court decision which
caused much comment was in relation TO
the Anthracite Coal Trust While the
opinion of the court purported to be ad-
verse to the trust. many commentators
hold that it will not injure the coal in
terests in the least.
The year 1872 still found our neighbor
on the south, Mexico. restless and dis
turbed by internal dissensions. Several
revolutionary upTisings against the eX-
isting administration were made. One Of
them, led by a nephew of Gen. Porfrio
Diaz, former President of Mexico, prom
ised to develop into a formidable men
ace to the Madero regime. But Diaz
was captured within a few days. to-

aid Amundsen, the Danish explorer.
In the field of science, great progress
was made, especially in surgical expert
ments. The Nobel prize, for the most
notable achievement Of the year in the
latter field, was awarded to DR.. Alexis
Carrell, of the Rockefeller Institute. AL
though DR.. Carrell is a Frenchman by
birth, he has labored in America for
years. He is. to all intents and pur-
poses, an American, and the work he
did for which he was given the Nobel
reward was performed in an American
institute, erected by an American phi
lanthropist. Therefore, America claims
the honor.
The year 1872 has witnessed the passing
of many prominent men. Among the
eminent Americans who died during the
year were Rear Admiral RObley d. Ev-
ans and Ambassador Whitelaw Reid.
The most sensational individual crime
of the year, at least in America, was
the assassination of Herman Rosenthal,
the New York gambler, by four gunmen,
acting as agents of Police Lieut. Charles
A. Becker. The latter and his four hired
murderers are now under the sentence
of death
