The number OF homicidee IN the United

to an article In the current issue OF the
Spectator, the weekly insurance Journal.
Just exactly how many persons OF both
sexes and all ages died as the result OF
the act of another throughout the coun-

tho census Of the United States regstra-
ton area for 1912. using his own sta
tlstics for thirty cities OF the country
In 1912 there were 6250 honicides. and
as the figures he has obtained show an
average Increase OF o. per 100000 OF
population he estimates that the general
result will show tho same increase over
$3.50
The average number OF homcides In
which In included all deaths inflicted In
tentlonally or Internationally, eNcusably
or felouiously. IN thirty large cities OF
tho country was 81 for every 100000
of population. In ten year terms this Is
compared with the decade ended in 1903,
which was 40. and the decade preceding
that. which was also 40 for every 100000.
