CHICAGO CALLED A FAILURE IN
HANDLING CRIME

That Chicago is a failure in its
handling of the crime problem was
the charge made to the city council
committee investigating the cause
and prevention Of crime.
The charge was made in the report
prepared by Edith M. Abbott for Aid.
Chas. E. Merriam. The report says
that more crimes are committed in
Chicago annually than in London,
New York or Paris.
In part the report says:
A man arrested for crime stands
only one chance in thirty of going
to the penitentiary.
Either large numbers of guilty
men escape justice or large numbers
Of innocent are arrested Uniustifiably.
Hundreds of men suffer imprisOn-
ment in jail although never convicted.
Court, police and Jail machinery
costing S8,000,00O a year is maintain
ed almost entirely for those discharg-
ed as innocent or for those whose
offenses are not serious enough to
deserve more than a fine.
Most Of men in prison are sent
there because they have no money
they cannot pay fines.
The report also recommends that
poor men be given a chance to pay
their fines on the instalment plan.
According to Miss Abbott, 1913
was our worst year. 262 murders
were committed, 1922 cases of rob-
berry and assault were recorded and
1,041 cases of burglary.
In conclusion the report says:
Another important and closely re-
lated point is the fact that more than
80 per cent of the persons committed
to the house Of correction are there
for the non-payment of fines. The
Municipal Court statistics show that
although only about 1000 persons
were sentenced to Imprisonment.
more than 10000 others were com
mitted to the houses of correction

There are thousands to point out to
you, one by one,

the city councils and the supervisors
of the public gardens and institutions.
The administrative board directly
manages the affairs Of the city. Gen
orally the members Of this board re-
ceive compensation for their services,
though it is not at all i~nfrequent that
they receive no pay.
The city councils are generally
comprised Of the most eminent men
in the city, who regard 1t such In

the requirements is that half of the
members of the council shall be prop

and institutions work with the ad-
ministrative board. They have super
vision over the city parks, the streets,
the theatres, the libraries and the
schools.
