CRIME AGE SHIFT
PUZZLES G-MEN
Leading Age Group Climbs
From 19 Years
to FL.
BY REX COLLIER.

The Federal Bureau OF Investiga-
ton Is endeavoring to ascertain the
significance of an unexpected upward
trend recently In the preponderant
age group of law violators in this
country.
The trend, first noted during the
latter half of 1895. has continued
steadily through the first nine months
of 1896, bringing to 2l-year-old Of
tenders the dubious distinction Of
leadership in crime.
For many years in the past the
19-year-old group led all others in
number of crimes committed.
So far this year the 19-year-old
offenders stand in fourth place, with
total Of l4.32s crimes charged to
them. The 2l-year-old violators were
given first with l5,247 arrests, the
22-year -olds second with 1919 ar
rests and the 23-year-olds third with
l4,468 arrests.
Based on Print Records.
These ratings are based on finer
print records covering arrests report
ed by police of the Nation.
THE arrest records received since
June, 1885," said J. Edgar Hoover,
director Of the F. B. l., reveal a shift
in the ma ajority Of individuals arrested
to the ages of 21, % and %.
Whether this Is attributable to
the ls-year-old group continuing its
criminal tendencies and becoming Sec
ond offenders. to the effectiveness
of the concerted drive against crime
or to an Improvement of economic
factors is a matter of speculation"
He said the trend Is being NOTED"
and that he hopes by future COM
parison Ito ascertain its significance
and to determine If it is Of a perma-
nent or temporary character"
II Out Of 100 Under Fl.
The seriousness of the problem OF
| juvenile delinquency is manifested
he said, by the fact that II out OF
every 100 persons arrested during the
first three quarters of this year were
under 81. The bureau studied records
of 343, 1872 arrests for violations serious
enough to warrant fingerprinting by
police.
He pointed out that SIS per cent of
those arrested for burglary. 53.7 per
cent of those arrested for robbery and
70.6 per cent Of those arrested for
automobile theft were under IS. The
total Of all persons arrested for burg
larry during the nine months was
22,352; for robbery. 9,763, and for
automobile theft, 1881.
One-fourth Of all persons arrested
for robbery were not 2l years old.
and one-third of those arrested for
burglary were yet to attain their ma
jority.
OF 50, ,954 youths under 81 who were
arrested for various crimes. l.081
were charged with larceny. $3.50 with
burglary. 1914 with automobile theft,
1922 with robbery, 2.307 with assault

weapons. 696 with forgery and coun-
terfeiting and 526 with criminal homi-

DEMOCRATS TAKE
MOST ASSEMBLIES
More Than Half of State
Legislatures Go Along
With Landslide.
Hy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Swinging with the tide Of Demo-
cratic victory, more than half the
State Legislatures fell into the Demo-
cratic column as votes were counted
In this weeks election, survey
showed today.
At the same time, Republicans re-
gained control of some State law-mak-
ing machines, which had been in
Democratic hands.
In at least % States, Democratic
Governors will be backed up by DEM
ocratic majorities in both houses of
the Legislature, the survey showed.
In Pennsylvania, the Senate went
Democratic for the first time in IS
years, giving Democrats control of the
entire law-making machinery. In
Ohio. Democrats captured control of
the House to augment their power in
Senate and governorship. In Mich
igan, too, Democrats won new power
in full control of the State govern
ment.
Maryland Legislature Democratic.
Democratic control of the Maryland
Legislature faces the Republican ad-
mlnlstratlon Of Gov. Harry w. Nice.
The Republicans hold control OF
both houses in six States, but in Kan
sas and Massachusetts Democratic
Governors will rule over them.
In Iowa, with a Democratic Gov
ernor, the Republicans shifted the
balance of the previously Democratic
Legislature, winning majority of
Senate seats and cutting the Demo-
cratic advantage in the House down
to 54-54 tie. In Rhode Island the
Republicans gained Senate control,
while the House stayed Democratic.
Meanwhile. Democrats made in
roads into Republican power in other
States-seizing the majority of one
House of the Legislature in five States,
Including Republican administered
{ California and New Jersey. Under
Democratic Governors in New York
and Montana, the existing division of
party power-each controlling one
House-will continue.
Freak Legislatures Appear.
Freak legislatures, bringing the
possibility of unusual alignments, ap-
pear in four States Farmer-Labor-
ties elected with Democratic support
to Minnesotas executive posts expect
to have a working majority of the
House in coalition of liberals.
WisconSin's law-making bodies, un-
der the leadership of Gov. Philip F..
La Toilette, Progressive party leader,
find themselves split up among three
parties Democratic and
Progressive-so that none has a ma
jority in either House.
Nebraska lawmakers, meeting as a
single body under law sponsored by
Senator George W. Norris, will take
Office without political labels. The
State reelected Democratic Gov. Roy
L. Cochran and voted for Roosevelt
In North Dakota, where the inde-
pendent William LANCER becomes
Governor, both Houses of the Legisla-
ture were expected to be about evenly
divided between his friends and his
foes, in coalitions.

The $50 0,000, 900 was loaned to the
old Central Republic in the midst of
the 1882 banking crisis, when it was
feared that if the big institution top
pied it would shake the entire Middle
West. Gen. Dawes had been chair
man of the r. F. c. himself until Is
| days before and a storm of criticism
arose because the loan went to the
! former chairmans own bank.
Bank i'm Receivership Anyway.
The R. F. c. proceeded against the
stockholders on November 10, 1884.
after failing to obtain payment from
the bank itself, which was put into
receivership a month earlier despite
the r. F. C.'s help.
The Illinois Constitution makes
holders of bank stock liable to credi-
tors for an amount equal to the face
value of their stock. The goal Of the
r. F. C.'s equity proceedings, reached
today, was to enforce this liability
sl00 on one share, since the stock
had that par value.
Large stockholders face paying
many thousands Of dollars.

The Reconstruction Finance Corp.

within the scope of the powers
granted to the Congress by the Con-

The r. F. C. had already recovered

But Attorney Harold Rosenwald of
the r. F. C. said in court last March
10 that even if successful in recover
ing the total $l4,000,000 liability
from stockholders. the r. F. c. would
still take a heavy loss on the Dawes

would be 'in excess Of $4,000, ,00O,"
quoting a telegram from Jesse Jones,
chairman of the Federal agency.
