hopelessly unbalanced by the horrors
of an East Indian famine. Miss Mar

day on the steamship Verona, on her
way to Waterloo, Iowa.
On the pier to meet her stood Walter

only hope of restoring the girls mind
was the possibility that she might
recognize him.
Many passengers knew that this cru

near when the young man rushed up
the Gangplank and along the deck
Reaching out his arms to her he called
her name.
The girl slowly turned her head and
stared at him blankly. He called again.
No answering look came into her eyes
She shrank back

Miss Reynolds was in Lahore during

LESS Than HERE
Ten Fewer Murders in the
Worlds Largest City Than
in Capital
STATEMENT BY Mcclure
Maj. Sylvester Admits Arraignment
and Says He Needs More
Policemen,

In a statement given out by S. s.
Mcclure, publisher of McClure's Maga-
line, which he had intended to present
as testimony before the Senate sub
committee investigating alleged negi-
gence by the police March 3, Mr.. Nc
Clure says that crime in general In
any city is usually proportioned to the
amount of murder and judged by the
test, the Capital City of the United
States holds an unenviable rank as TO
crime among the cities of the world.
The statement continues:
Last year there were thirty mur-
ders in the District of Columbia, with
q population of about 350,000, while
London with 100000 inhabitants. had
only twenty murders, although Lon
don is a great seaport and is noted for
its hundreds of thousands of aliens.
Toronto, Canada, has a population
slightly in excess of Washington and had
three murders. Murder is ten times as
prevalent in the District of Columbia as
1t is in England. France, or Germany,
and fifteen times as prevalent as in
Canada.
The murder rate for 1912 was greater
than in either New York City or Chi
cago. There were half as many white
murderers in Washington as in London,
England; an 1911"
1t was admitted hast night by Maj.
Sylvester that there had been more muir
ders last year in Washington than ever
before. and he said that Mr.. Mcclure
was perfectly right in saying that the
Washington police is inadequate to pro-
tect the city. Maj Sylvester recalled
that this had been his contention for
several years. and that he had been
trying to have the force Increased and
strengthened.
Mr.. Mcclure speaks of the proportion
of negroes in the District and their con-
pection with the number of murders COM
mitted here" said Maj. Sylvester. Il
cannot discuss the figures as to the
crime or what race of people was con-
cerned in them, for ] haven't the rec
ords with me. But we did have more
murders. and the force is inadequate.
as he says. 1t has been reduced by
twenty-eight through an act of Congress
and by about 80 by different post de-
tails at the White House. the Union Sta
ton, and other places, thus reducing the
number 10 40l. Under the system of re-
nefs in force. this gives us 100 men dur
ing the day and 200 during the night.
That, of course, is not enough"
