TURNOVER" FOR YEAR
AT $4,000, 900. I
The terrible crime in which the large
cities of the United States are STEPPED,
is indicated by the following article
written by James Connolly and pub
lished in Saturdays issue Of the, Mn
nesota Daily Star. While this article
refers only to Minneapolis, it is evi-
dent, judging from the meager reports
published in the daily press from day to
day, that it also applies to other large
cities, in some of which conditions are
even worse than in the Flour City.
Here is what Mr.. Connolly says:
$25, 1000, 200 Is Crimes Toll.
The underworld levied, and collected
toll Of more than $25,o00,O00 in
Minneapolis during the year 1921, and
the cost in human life from criminal
operations totaled more than $50, a
resume of police affairs for the year
discloses.
There were seven unsolved murders
during the year. <st@ ~ asgr1 IJfs
. The take off, properly handled by
a~relief committe, would be sufficient
to- to payAan, unemployed army, 1920
strong,2aj,daily swagelof SIS for every
'day Iinitile year, and there would be
enough left over to make tsizea BILE
impression in the Russian or Armenian
relief funds.

four-ffths of the underworld's turn
