Crime Figures

YNHE Washington Criminal Justice Association was
organized in May of last year
It has submitted its first annual report in which it
states that the District has far serious crime than
is healthy for any community"
That is unquestionaby true
ANY amount of crime in any community is unhealthy
The report of the association is somewhat dsappon
ing in that after studies extending year makes
no concrete recommendations for essening crime or
for better enforcement of the laws the statute
books.
Citizens of Washington who are interested in the
crime problem will be inclined to feel that the assocla-
tion presumably intimately familiar with conditions and
receiving points out the utmost cooperation from
those charged with law enforcement could have set up
some signposts which might have led to Improvement
Possibly the association has done this in its converse
tions with law enforcement officials but if it does
not make itself clear in its report.
Figures dealing with crime and criminals tricky.
They can be made to show almost anything that the
person using them wants to show.
The association has gathered many figures and pre-
sents them in its report but it considerably does not
attempt to compare its figures for Washington with
figures on crime in other communities.
Nevertheless from the way presents its figures the
is more rampant here than in other cities.
In fact the conclusion has already been drawn from
the report by that the city is oveun by thugs
and bandits and that serious crime is commonplace
Such conclusion would not appear to be well founded
either from the facts set forth by the association
from general knowledge of conditions here.
The association presents chart which shows large
column giving the total number of feonies committed
during 1896 being six thousand eight hundred and
eighteen.
Other columns in the chart taper down to small one
showing that there were six hundred and eighty-five
convictions.
From this the casual student is likely to leap to the
conclusion that only that number of crimes was solved
As matter of fact this number of convictions is taken
by the Police Department to account for almost four
thousand of the felones reported, leaving approx
mately three thousand felonies unaccounted for.
Lest the reader believe that this would indicate that
three thousand felons at large in the city, it should
in fairness be pointed out that these three thousand
crimes were probably committed by an even smaller
number Of actual criminals than those involved in the
cases which were cleared.
Nevertheless it is true that Washington has crime and
that it should be stamped out
We wish the association had told us how to do it.

Different Kinds of Trees and How to
Plant Them" Some interesting facts

Trees are planted he said, for

Der and second. to prevent floods when
the water begins to come down from
the hills and mountains
Students learned that it took
from 80 to 100 years from the time the
trees are planted until they are of
commercial growth Mr.. Henrichs de-
scribed how to distinguish the differ
ence between various trees and showed
samples of the different species of trees
native in this part Of the country.
After the speech the students with

Biggest Of Spotted Cats

Often called the Lion of Amer
ica." the jaguar Is the biggest OF
the spotted cats and is even fercer
than the tiger, observes 4 writer In
the Washington Post. 1t lives In
dense forests and spends r1uch TINA
In caves and trees. Deer, cattle,
wild pigs, turkeys, fish ard turtles
are the main items on its menu.
Like other members of the cat
family, the jaguar hunts at night.
1t roars like a lion and the jungle
seems to CULVER with the dreadful
sound. Unlike the puma, which
seems to have an inborn affection
for human beings. the jaguar will
attack a man as readily as deer.
