Q. The use of drugs The traffic
in New York is estimated at $780,

8. Unassimilated foreigners and
the lack of necessary grounding
education for the second generation,
in which the foreign born parents
have been unable to assist, resulting
in superficial moulding.
a. Lack of severity in sentences.
5. The inability of police to cope
with the increasing use of high
powered automobiles for the escape
of bandits and more general
knowledge of the use of death deal
ing weapons.
6. Bootlegging.
Z. The high cost of living COM
bined with unemployment.
8. General unrest, psychology
cal reflex to lower valuation of hui
man life born Of the war and the
peace time readjustment. economic
and social, following the world con-
fict. This perhaps summarizes the
primary cause, embracing most of
the others.
The dispatches from the various
cities follow:
PHILADELPHIA.-All forms of
crime, especially those involving vi0-
lence, are on the increase in Phila-
delphia. While there have been a
number of large jewel robberies in
Philadelphia and vicinity, the motor
band is giving the local authorities
the greatest amount Of concern.
A new murder record may be estab-
lished in Philadelphia this year. To
date more than 100 homicides have
been committed.
The police claim that they have
solved most Of these murders. Thirty
alleged murderers are now awaiting
trial.
All of the agencies Of the city and
county governments are cooperating
in an effort to successfully cope with
the crime wave. The municipal ad-
ministration has obtained the author
ization by council of 200 additional
uhAAoAmCu pOAlCOhOu anu uPplOplld-
tions have been made for the pur-
chase of motor cars with side cars for
pursuing motor bandits.
The cars will be equipped with
rifles and will be manned by two
officers, the driver and a marksman.
The cars will be distributed in
strategic points turnout the city.
Quick trials will be given crooks
and substantial sentences asked by
district attorney Rotan. Orders have
been issued by the prosecuting at
torney to have all persons arrested
for highway robbery, burglary, muir
der and other crimes involving vio-.
lence or threats Of violence indicted
within two days after they have been
held for court. Trials will be listed
for two days after indictment. An
additional criminal court was
authorized last week and will be
opened in January for the expendit-
ing of trials Of criminals.

ton for highway robbery, automandi-
try and burglary punishable by life
Imprisonment will be introduced in
the next session of the legislature
by Senator Daiax.
Police officials and prominent
medical authorities Of the University
of Pennsylvania as we'll as other
noted specialists of this city believe
the crime wave Is direct after eff
feet of the war. Superintendent Of
Police Mills is among those who are
firmly convinced that independence,
self reliance and utter disregard for
the conventional ways of looking at
life, developed during the war, COM
bined with the psychological condi-
ton Of the minds of men who have
served in the military forces and who
are bored with the necessity for re-
turning to civil life are responsible
in a large measure for this increase
in crime Of all kinds.
BOSTON, Dec. 19.-All forms of
robbery are on the increase in the
Boston area and appeals have been
made to the police departments of
nearby cities and towns for assist
ance in driving out the criminals.
eve intend not only to drive these
criminals from the Boston district,
but from the state as WE'LL" Superin-
tendent Crowley announced today.
Figures for the police year ending
November 80 show there were 149
cases Of robbery within metropolitan
Boston during the past year. Lar
cencies from buildings, dwellings,
vessels and railroad cars led in the
number of crimes-2904 offenses of
this type being reported. There were
565 instances of breaking and en-
tering.
More than 400 crooks" have been
arrested in the past few days and
several daring assaults and holdups
marked the weekend in various
sections Of the greater city. Prohibit
ton agents conducted twenty-five
liquor raids Saturday night.
The police are concentrating their
efforts on cheap rooming houses. In
these places, they believe, the GRIM
inals have taken refuge, converting
them into easy places of retreat from
their operations in the city. 1t is
the police plan to drive the robbers
into small area and then round
them up by fine tooth comb investi-
cation.
A vigorous campaign has been on
for the past six weeks in the city
proper without appreciate results in
the number of robberies.
The police records show twenty
two murders, twenty-six cases Of
manslaughter and 1907 of assault
and battery.
The greatest increase in any type
of crime was in child abandonment
and neglect. Five hundred and
persons were brought be-
fore the courts for that offense.

 This announcement followed closely upon testimony before the joint legisla- tive committee investigating the high cost of sugar. made by Herbert Hoover, who charged the government with re- sponsibility for the present high price of sugar because of it's failure to author ize the sugar equalization board to pur- chase the1 Cuban crop last year for Ch cents q pound,' and upon annopncement that the price of refined sugar had been increased to 2212 cents. an advance of $ cents within a week.

Furnishes List of War Plans In 1917 to Refute Sims Charge That Navy Had
 No Plans
By Associated Prsss

Washington, May 24.-Cross exam nation of Secretary Daniels before the Senate naval Investigating committee today wound about in a tortuous way from verbal wrangle to debate and back to wordy clashes between the Secretary and Chairman Hale.
 The latter at one point requested MT Daniels to answer a question with yes or mo- and the Secretary chal- lenged the right of the chairman to tell him how to reply.
 T am Secretary of the Navy and [ shall answer you in accordance with the duties of my office" the Secretary retorted
 fou have no more right to tell me now tc answer a question than I have to tel you how to ask it.
 MT. Daniels testimony today dealt largely with the navy departments war plans in April, 1917 He fur nlshed the committee with a lengthy list Of war plans of various types. to refute, he said. Rear Admiral Sims charge that the department had no plans.
 During one interchange the chair man accused MT. Daniels of delaying the hearings by introducing "irrele- want matter and by giving evasive answers.
 Al the present rate it looks like this committee will be here all summer the chairman added
 HE DIDN'T CARE
 All right" replied MT. Daniels. That suits me-
 can't understand why you are in- troducing so much irrelevant matter" continued Senator Hale. There hear iags are being conducted at great ex- pense to the government and I would think that you would be as anxious as any of us to expedite them"
 T am not introducing irrelevant matter and I do wish to expedite the hearings replied MT. Daniels, but I intend to give full answers to your questions If it takes all summer"
 Mir. Daniels told the committee that the navy department had plans "as adequate as any in the history of any navy in the world" for war against any possible enemy"
 They included. he said, a specific general plan for war against Germans and anti-submarine campaign mobil- ization, operating. command. strategy. base and logists plans.

 Window of Train

Paris, May 24.-Presidcnt Deschanel returned to the Elysee palace this eve ming after his miraculous escape from he plunged head first through a win dow of special train on which he was travelling to Mont Brison to dedicate a monument to Senator Reymond, a French aviator. killed during the war. The President looked not much she worse for his experience.
 M Deschanel. who was accompanied on the trip by automobile from Mont Argis by Madame Deschanel and Pre- mier Millerand. anghted from the ve- hicle in the Elysee yard without help. His face was not bandaged, but showed the marks of the accident.
 Premier Millerand said to the cor respondent:
 You may tell your people in Ameri- ca that the President is sound physi- cally and mentally Only few scratches remain of the terrible ex- perience he underwent. President Deschanel is feeling so good that he insists on presiding over the council of ministers. which is scheduled to be held tomorrow
 It developed from M. Millerand's S talk that the escape of the President from death was miraculous. as. ac- cording to the premier. the train was travelling at the rate of 50 kilometers an hour.
 Tt is fantastic" the premier kept repeating.
 Jules Steeg, minister of the interior. who was on the train with the Presi- dent. reported to M. Milierand that NJ. Deschanel aiighted on soft sand, head first

By Associated pr,,s

Washington, May 24.-The freight jam was declared tonight to be slowly yield ing to the efforts concentrated on ehe mass of cars which clog the country's railroads yards. Reports to the Ameri- can Railroad Association's car service committee showed a reduction in car ac- emulation from 2s9.0Oo on April 24 to less than 1700c0 last Friday
 While the battle to relieve the block ade by no means has been won, railroad officials said indications of improve ment were strong enough to substantiate the belief that the peak of the congee- tion had passed.
 Despite the brighter prospects for cAg- ging the railroads out of the freight jam, efforts of the interstate commerce com mission to speed the work were not di- unfinished in any manner today Local organizations to be known as terminal committees were formed today at thirty of the country's leading railroad centers and were instructed to keep the commits sion informed on every phase of their respective problems with a view to em- ploying emergency powers contained in grants by tho transportation act.
