PERCENTAGES IN CRIME
INCREASE ALARMINGLY
SINCE START OF WAR

New York, Jan. 6.-Sinco the
Cnited States entered the war the
crime percentages in practically ev-
cry city in the country have taken
amazing leaps. The number of com.
plants reaching the various detec.
tive headquarters throughout tha
land for the last six months was
20 per cent higher than during tho
same period year ago. The increase
has extended to practically all forms
OF crime except murder and assault.
Commissioner Woods of the New
York City Police Department, has
made a special examination Of the
records with a view to answering
the question as to the effect Of the
war on crime and criminals. His con,
clusions are as follows:
Grimes against property have in
creased steadily since the United
States entered the war, and the reas.
on may be found directly in tia eco.
nomic conditios which have been
brought about by the war. Crimes ot
violence, except robbery, have tend.
ed to decrease, but the decrease Is
to be attributed not SO much to the
war as to the destruction OF the
gangs and the Imprisonment Of the
ganesters who formerly afflicted
New York City"
like Commissioner Woods. Dis
triict Attorney Swami holds tha,
the causes OF increased crime are
economic, due to the war.
"The explanation" he says, "Is IN
the increased value of property
Silks, copper. brass, foodstuffs and
almost every commodity have such
an increased value and are so ready
salable that 1t is worth while Ia
stea! most anything, and the thieves
act accordingly. With the increase
In values is corresponding increase
in temptation"

may be, 10 not the religion Of Christ.
1t has been well said that through
Ills entire ministry Christ was a
fighter. He was not, as some people
have seemed to think, weakling,
but he was virile. vigorous and
aggressive fighter. He fought wrong,
however deeply entrenched 1t might
be. He fought self-righteousnes He
fought the sins of the Pharisees.
With physical force he drove from
the Temple Of the Almighty those
who had made 1t place Of money
changers, and until the last hour.
when on the cross he gave is life
for the world, he was ever fighting
wrong.
Nc man Of intelligence can posi-
bly, conceive that the Christ would
have stood unmoved had he seen
women and helpless children being
attacked by brutes. No man can for
a moment imagine that under such
circumstances he would not have
used whatever force might b. nec-
essary to defend the innocent
against the guilty. It Is well, there

Chamberlain Case
One OF Circum-
stantial Evidence

GOOCHLAND, Va, Jan. A case
built on circumstantial evidence IL
relied on by the State to obtain the
conviction of DR.. Asa w. Chamber
lain, accused of the murder Of his
brother, Albert P. Chamberlain, at
his trial set to open today in the
circuit court of Goochland county.
DR.. Chamberlain's arrest followed
tho finding of his brothers body,
dismembered into nine parts, buried
in postholes on his farm near Elk
Fill. The brother was last seen
alive at his home. four miles away
on the night Of Oct. %. DR.. Cham.
berlain has admitted to the authori
ties, 1t Is said, that he visited his
brother that night, but he as stout,y
maintained that he had nothing to
Go with the killing.
The prosecution will try to prove
by witnesses that quarrel over
debt Of s1,40O caused the killing.
After the finding of his brother'A
body and his subsequent arrest, DR..
Chamberlain said he had left his
brothers home at O'Clock on the
night Albert disappeared. Louisa
Eeatwright, his negro cbok. testi-
fed at the coroner's inquest that DR..
Chamberlain reached home that
night at $40 o'clock.
A negro mute, Alexander Knox, 10
expected to be an important witness
for the prosecution. He will be asked
to explain in the sign language tn,
circumstances under which he saw
DR.. Chamberlain coming home that
night. Knox can neither read nor
write.
Albert Chamberlain was supposed
to have been man of some means.
and his strong box, believed to con-
tain valuable papers including about
100000 In securities, was empty
when found. His gold watch is al
legged to have been found behind 9
fafter in DR.. Chamberlains home.
Or. Chamberlain formerly was
successful physician in Iowa and the
authorities have declared that he
was about to take a train for the
west when he was arrested. His wife
had left Goochland on Oct. %, for
Kearney, Nebraska, only few hours
before her brother.in-law was sup
posed to have been slain.
Discovery of the body was brought
about by the peculiar antics Of dog
which was seen paving at post holes
on DR.. Chamberlain's farm. The tor
50 was found buried in the back
yard. The head, feet, legs, arms and
heart were uncovered in different
rCst holes.
Owing to intense feeling aroused
by the brutality Of the murder, DR..
Chamberlain was taken to HenrIco
county Jail at Richmond after his
arrest and was left there until today
for safe-keeping.
