Trenton, July 22.-Supreme
Court Justice Minturn today filed an
opinion in the supreme court hold
ing that the father of an unborn
child is responsible for the support
of the mother, II she is in INDECENT
circumstances. Alfred Scarle, ap-
pealed from the order OF the recor-
der of the city OF Paterson that he
should pay So week to Agnes Hol-
ly, the mother OF Scarle's unborn
child, and today's decision is the re-
suit. A writ of certiorari was sued
out on the ground that under the
act of 1851, the father of the child
could not be made to pay for the
maintenance Of the INDECENT mother
The supreme court, however, holds
that statutes passed since 1851 su-
perceded the affect OF this act and he
is disposed to give these laws a
very liberal Interpretation. The or
der of the Paterson recorder is af-
firmed.

MURDER IS ON THE INCREASE

A study in honicides which Fred erick L. Hoffman made for the cur rent number of the Spectator shows the mortality rate from this cause in New York to be six times greater than in London. To be exact, the total number of honaicides in this city for the period tabulated 1907-11, was 1265, which gives as the rate per 10O,-7 900 population of 5.5. The total mum Der of fao1nicides in London for the same period was 212. which would give O.9 as the rate per 100, 900 popu- Iation Neither Berlin nor Paris equals. EIondonss record but both appearMto sbe more pacific than New. York The rate per 100s0O0 for Beriin is 20, and for Paris 3-5. However, 1t may con sole New Workers to know that the highest American rate of mortality from homicide is not in this city, but in the South, and that the unenvia;b1e distinction of being the most n1Jlr- derous city in the United States is awarded to Memphis, as the following table will show:
 The vital statistics of the census have been published since 1900. There has been a gradual and persistent in crease in the homicide mortality rates during that period. In part, this in crease is the result of Improved meth ods of death registration and death certidcation. This explanation, how ever, does not seriously impair the important conclusion that murder is on the increase in the United States, and that actually as well as relatively homicides were never so frequent in this country as they are at present.
 Combining the returns for thirty representative American cities for the year 1913, the homicide mortality rate for this group was 8.7 per 41O0,-s 900 of population. This rate is the highest on record since 1884. with the. exception of the year 1907, when the rate was ss. For the year 1912 the honicidal death rate as returned by the census of the United States regis-g tration area was 6.5 per 100, ,o00 of population. When this rate is ap- piled to the total population of the. continental United States, the approx innate number of deaths due to mur- der for that year was 6 6,250. Since, however, the rate during 1913 was 0-4. per 100000 of population in excess of the urban rate for 1912, the number of deaths from homicide in the con- tinenta1 United States during the year 1913 must have been considerably higher
