erage for 10 years.
OF special interest in the tabulations
is the inclusion of record kept by
the Chicago Tribune of the causes of
homicides from 1908 to 1872 Accord
ing to this, 4S.9 per cent of the whole
number was caused by quarrels, while
unknown causes were responsible for
14.l per cent. Liquor is given as the
cause of 9.6 per cent of the total, while
murders by highwaymen caused S.5 per
cent of the deaths. Jealousy incidental
ly was responsible for the same per-
centage.
To Reading, Pa, is given the distinc-
t1on OF having no homicides commi ed
within it's limits in 1912, while in Phil
adelphia there We're only 23 homi
cides, rate of Ia per 100000. For the

more perfectly his thought than he could

amazement to time of Industrial COM
especially to the investment of capital in

There is the same idea behind these
predictions which Mr.. Morgan had In
mind when he stated sententiously that
he man who lis a bear on the United
States will go broke" The thought was
not original with him, for it has been
discovered since Mr.. Mo-gan's death that
one OF the first lessons which his father
Junius S. Morgan, taught the son was
the certainty of stupendols growth in ma

like of which, the senior Morgan states

The annual murder record for The
United States, while showing a slight
Improvement over previous reports,
still suffers by comparison, according
to statistics of homicides compilations
made by Frederick L. Hoffman show
that there We're 1874 homicides in 80
large cities of this country in 1912, a
rate of 81 per 100000 of population.
Similar records for 1911 were 8.4 per
100000. There is corresponding de-
crease in the relative number of sui
cides, equivalent to OS per 100000, or
Al per cent The highest homicide rec
ord reported occurred In 1907, when the
rate was S.S per 100000, and the low
est rates were in 1891 and 1897, when
AZ per 100000 was the record, says
the Spectator.
OF the large American cities, Mem
phis, Tenn, with IS homicides shows
a rate of 643 per 100000, an increase
over 1911 or 11.6. 1t is explained that
suburban murders are counted in with
the city percentages.
The Manhattan and Bronx record
does not show the same Improvement
that the average suggests. There were
198 homicides during the year, rate
of 6.s per 100000, or an increase of
IA. For the 10 years ended in 1911
there were 1854 deaths of a homicidal
nature, with rate of "a per 100 000
