more than ten capital crimes for ev-
cry one in New York, according to
statistics gathered by Judge William
N. Gemmill of Chicago and furnished
to the Committee on Law Enforce

The statistics collected by JudN
Gemmill are the most reliable in ex-
istence according to Chairman Will
liam B. Swaney of the committee,
who said that the lack of good crime
statistics was one of the serious draw
backs to the study of crime condi-
tons in this country.
While the record of st. Louis last
year was the worst, Los Angeles
stands pre-eminent as a center of
crime on a seven-year survey.
The criminals stay away from Del

Judge Gemmill finds. More than
1900 criminals were lashed in Eng

Upheld in
Stand on Dyer Bill
President Commended for Denly
Pledging Support to Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill
(Associated Negro Press)

Washington, D. c., June 16-Pres-
ident Harding has stood four-square
on his proposition of wiping away
the stain of lynching from the ban
ner of free, orderly and representa-
tive democracy.
During the very able inaugural ad-
dress delivered by the President, he
insisted that this stain should be
wiped out. Since his Inauguration he
has stated openly that If an anti
lynching bill was passed, he would
sign 1t.
On June 1, a committee of young
men representing the colored colleges
throughout the nation were present
ed at the White House by Perry w.
Howard, special assistant to the At
torney General, and they presented
to the President memorial asking
that he continue to use his good Off
ces to the end that an anti-lynching
bill be placed upon the statutes.
To those who assay to doubt the
Presidents committal to this program
it may be surprise to know that
the attitude of the President is to
stand by the Republican platform
touching this matter. to urge the pas
sage of this bill through friends of
the administration in Congress and
to sign such bill IL passed.
This should remove every doubt
in the minds of the most pessimistic
as to where the administration stands
on the question Of lynching; and this
delegation representative of the best
of young colored manhood, left very
much encouraged and felt assure
that they might hope for the best
results in that direction.
