FIRST RANK IN CRIME
 GIVEN U. s. BY EXPERT

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. - The United States not only far outranks every other civilized country in the commission of crimes, but now th ere is less respect for law than in any place on the face of the globe and lawlessness is growing.
 Actual disrespect for the law is manifest in all classes of citizenry and crime flourishes because crim:"als es cape punishment.
 That is the indictment of lawless- ness handed down by the special com mittee on law enforcement and pre- sented at the recent session of the American Bar Association.
 Lawyers gathered from all sections of the country heard from Judge Will, jam B. Swaney, of Chattanooga, Tenn, chairman of the crime Investigating committee, that one serious obstacle to the enforcement of criminal law arises from the unfriendly attitude of the law-abtding citizen when called upon to aid in it's actual administra- tion.
 "The American temperament ad- justs itself to sympathy with the ac- cused and a corresponding disregard for the rights of the public" the com mittee report said. "In many cases where much public feeling is aroused, the man of affairs too often deserts the cause of justice"
 UNABLE TO CURB CRIME
 Means of coping with crime and criminals in the United States are neither adequate nor efficient, the committee declared. Tn addition, it re- ported discouraging dearth of official information upon the criminal situa- tion. In this respect the United States is found to be far behind every other country.
 Criminals number less than one third of one percent of the entire population, and of this number natives

The mercury of fashion is down and once again the tall and willowy mani kin appears before the audience, at the show of new fall syles, says an Alaskan buyer jus returned from New York. Skirts are draped, says Mrs. Bakke, and the drapes reach the ankles. Suit skirts are eight inches from the floor. But sport styles still Eemain in style and skirts are short and jaunty
 SLEEVES SHORT
 , AS the new skirts for dress are long, so are the sleeves short. Short and tight, although lace is sometimes used, with more length and fullness. Canton crepe stll leads for gowns and black and shades of dark blue pre- dominate for color. Fur is most popu- lar for trimming, especially the shaggy fur, monkey, bear and caracul. En- broidery and beads are still good.
 Evening gowns are in bright shades and of rich velvets and heavy Span- ish faces. Very few gowns have any sort of trimming, the velvet and lace being combined to give the finishing touch, while fancy comb constitutes the costume. When trimming is used it is touch of small buckle or flow CT. Evening gowns are all draped.
 Suits are in much the same style as the past season except they are fur trimmed and of heavier materials.
 BOLIVIA FOR COATS
 Coats come in all grades of Bolivia. Brown shades are good, although much blue is being shown. The styles are loose with large sleeves and a good deal of fur trimming. Sports coats have not changed in style, but meet the season in heavy and darker materials with fur trimming.
 Brown and biebe shades predomi- nate in millinery. The best materials are duvetyn and morocco, while vel vet is always good and sports hats are also of felt. Hats are bright, soft fluffy feathers being the chief ma terial for trimming Rich but plain trimming is used. Both small and (large sytles are good

FIAT MONEY FOLLY.

Fiat money, or paper currency made
legal tender by law with no promise
of redemption or backing in specie, is
recommended by Mr. Henry Ford to

such a proposal have been stated so

New York, that they are worth repeat

that two great leaders of industry

Thomas A. Edison in his views on this
matter-are in favor of fiat money at
the present time. he admits that the
attention given to the subject indicates
a popular viewpoint in some quarters
that calls for corrective reasoning.
There is an air of hocus- pocus about
the unrestricted operation of govern
ment printing presses that should put
men on their guard, he says; it must
be realized that governments are nor
creators of wealth but have to be sup
ported by taxation. There is an in

THE Bergen Evening Record will go
one step further than President Crom-
well. II is not only a rule, but it is
common law that a broker or agent
must faithfully and honestly represent
the interests of his clients or principal.
1t is also a human and psychological
impossibility for a broker to faithfully
represent the interests of his client

the customers long position. The in
terests of the broker and his client are
then Numerically opposed, the prin

customer in the final analysis must
lose, either through the ultimate fail
ure of his broker in a bull market or
by reason of the decline in stock prices !

THAT is a prevalent condition to-
day, both outside and inside of select |
circles Exchanges can do much to-
ward correcting these evils by a peri
odic examination of all brokers' books
and accounts. and a check of securi-
ties on hand, with the amount called
for by the long position of the GUS
toners.
But a better remedy would be to
place all brokers who accept deposits
IN account from the public under Fed

books, accounts. securities and cash by

schemes for extracting gold from sea

which was fully exposed in July, 1898,
by the New York Herald. Jernegan's
secret process, in which mercury was
the chief element, was first tried off
the Rhode Island coast 1t proved such
a great success that $500, 1000 was paid
for shares in the Electrolytic Marine
Salts company. of which Jernegan was
president, and works were established
at Lubec. on the Maine coast. Jerne-
gan disappeared when the company
was apparently at the height of its
financial success. The sea then re-

When the recent achievement OF

there is no process which suggests
that baser metals can be transmitted
into gold. The transmutation of ele-

This latter figure includes more than
5000 auditors and inspectors of in

Washington and in the field.
notwithstanding this large force
the civil service commission states that
the bureau of internal revenue needs
several hundred more auditors and in

Harding took occasion to express his
own adherence to the convention sys-
