BACHELORS LEAD
CRIMINAL LIST
New York Single Men far Outnumher the
Married Men in Crime. Single Wom-
en- are also More Numerous.

Many more unmarried than married men
commit crimes, according to the report of
Henry D. Sayer, chief clerk of the district
attorney Office. The report shows that
in 1912 there were, 789 convictions of mar
ried men in general sessions and in the
criminal branch of the supreme court and
that there were ZOOS convictions of un-
married men. There were 66 convictions
of married women and 100 convictions of
unmarried women.
Records show that in the last nine years
there have been 18, ,406 convictions of un-
married men, while among men who had
at some time led bride to the altar there
were but 7, $40 convictions. The unmar-
ried men excel in almost every crime on
the calendar.
The report also shows that about three
fourths of the men who are brought into
court are under thirty years of age. OF
the 2,S57 men convicted last year $40 were
under the age of twenty and 1876 were
between twenty-one and thirty years old.
After the age of thirty the ratio gradually
decreases, there being but five men over
seventy who last year were convicted OF
any crime. Out of 26,079 persons con-
victed in the last nine years 11,O52 were
between the ages of twenty-one and thirty
and 1928 were between fifteen and twenty
years.
The average sentence imposed was five
years and six months, and the total state
prison terms amounted to 3, ,991 years. The
longest sentences were for burglary in the
first degree. There has been gradual
increase in the length of sentences imposed
since 1901, when the average was four
years and six months. The most frequent
crime was grand larceny, with 600 con-
victions. Next came burglary, with 1872
convictions.

EMPTY TWO COUNTY JAlLs.

The two Jackson county jails- one
at Kansas City and the one in Indepen-
dence-are to be vacated of all able bodied
prisoners through the remainder of the
summer.
The county court decided Friday to give
the 145 men in its jails better chance for
moral and physical regeneration. They
are to be put to work building and repair
ing county highways, practically without
guards and on an honor system of good
behavior.-Ex.

PAY VISIT TO
SEVERAL PRISONS
Two Well Known Scotland Men are on a
Tour Of Inspection, Of PenitentiarIes
in the United States. Are Surprised
at the Treatment of Prisoners.

Recently Rev. John Lamond B. D., and
Rev. A. N. Aversion, of Edindburg, Scot
land paid the Oregon institusion visit.
These gentlemen are connected with the
Scotland's famous prison, and are on a tour
of inspection of United States penitenti-
aries and the methods employed in hand
ling criminals. That they were astonished
at the Oregon way is putting it mild.
The humane idea of letting men out OF
their cells to congregate at will in the
yard was entirely new to them, as the eel
lular system, which drive men crazy, is
in vogue in their country. The idea of
giving men decent food in dining room
in BODY, was also a revelation to these
gentleman, as the main diet at Scotland s
prison is cruel and small portion of bread
fed to the men in their cells. The idea of
running prison by methods tending to-
wards the reclamation of humanity, instead
of vindictive punishment, was something
these gentleman had merely heard of as ex-
isting, but never saw put into execution, or
dreamed Of its possibilities for the better
ment of civilization in future generations
to come.
Scotland boasts of the largest prison
population per capita of any country in the
world, which is proof positive of the utter
failure of their method; the brutal treat
ment and vindictive punishment is not a
deterrent to crime, but on the contrary is
exactly the reverse. Mr.. Lamond and
Mr.. Aversion spent only an hour at this
place, but admitted they had learned more
of humane methods than they imagined
could exist, and no doubt will return to
their own country imbued with new ideas
that may, in time be of benefit to their
criminal class as we'll as their common
wealth at large. Lend Hand.

THREE NAMES

When man holding responsible posi-
ton goes wrong in his finances, the first
time his friends call it shortage in his ac-
counts and make it up. The next time
it is called t'defalcation, and the man
has much harder time in getting let off.
The third time it is 'embezzlement' and
he languishes behind prison bars. Frank

weeks and some shrubs require a
month before they start to grow.
Prior to this it is safe to plant them.
During the succeeding period OF

the shrubs have made their growth by
or a week later. it is safe
to plant them any time thereafter.

TO the contest hoping it would be ov.

Secretary took a 6:45 train for the
Pacific Coast.
The game was close and exciting
and reached its climax as the time
approached for the President to leave
Washington had overcome Boston's
lead, tying the score at 2 to 2, and
things were breaking well for the
Washington nine. The President look
ed at his watch regretfully and told
Secretary Tumulty that IL his en-.
gagement had not been with the Sec
rotary Of State he might have been
tempted to be little late. He de-
parted reluctantly, and was cheered
as he went.
The President occupied a box in the
upper balcony OF the grandstand.
When, according to custom, the local
fans arose at the beginning Of the
seventh inning, Mr.. Wilson remained
seated.
Stand up. Woody" shouted a voice
and the President joined in the laugh

hand to the shouting fan and stood
