seed crop was raised that year, some
of which was kept on the ranch and
the rest disposed of by giving it to
any OF the few settlers in the valleys
who wished TO test the plant on their
places. 1t was some of this seed that
Tom Jones of Big Bottom got. In
1882 we had three cuttings; in 1888
we also got three cuttings. In 1884
we again let the crop go to seed ane

DISREGARD FOR Law
Attorney Declares United States
Leads in Crime.
President Of Illinois Bar Association
Points to Increase In HomIcIdes
In America and Refers at
Length to Lynchinas.

Chicago.-The United States is most
lawless Of the civilized nations: its
homicide rate is growing faster than
that of any other land; lynchinE In
Americas own peculiar plague, and
to wipe # out should be made the
first business of the country.
This indictment Of the United States
as holder of the international record
Tor deeds OF violence was uttered by
ROBERT McMurdy, president of the I'LL
nols State Bar association, in opening
the annual convention of that organi-
zatton at the Hotel La Sale.
AT the outset" said Mr.. McMurdy,
we must admit that the inhabitants
OF the United States are the most law
less OF all civilized peoples.
Andrew D. White tells us that
homicide is the most rapidly growing
of serious crimes in this country, and
that 1t Is increasing more rapidly here
than In any other land Four years
ago he gave to the world some figures
covering an eight-year period He
found the number OF murders a year
per million population to be: Canada,
B; Germany. As; England and Wales,
l011; France, 1915; Belgium, 15;
United States, over 129.
The latest official figures at hand
Q912) give the number Of homicides
! In London as sc. During the same
year In Chicago they reached 231. If
the total for Chicago were figured to
. correspond with the population the
. record would read: London, Sc; Chi
cago, 693. Moreover, Chicago by no
I means heads the murder list Of Ameri.
can Cities"
Taking up the subject of lynching,
| Mr.. McMurdy submitted figures show
ing that during 32 years the number
lynched in the United States has
, reached total Of 2,99S. an average Of
ope every three days. In the last ten
years the yearly average has been re.
duced to 72.
Turning to disregard for law, other
than that connected with murder, Mr..
McMurdy reviewed q long list Of In.
stances-the revelations of political
corruption that made Adams county,
Ohio, notorious. the judicial reputa-
tion Of Denver, the lawlessness of the
police, the defiance Of law by mine
owners at Calumet, violations of law
by labor, perjury as a companion of
divorce suits, evasion OF customs by
best citizens" breaking Of speed

The annual cost Of crime In the

greater than our national debt"
