small value in determining how to put
people back to work"
In connection with his recommends
ton for establishment Of . plan
ming" and cooperative" re-employ-
ment agency, Mr.. Biggers suggested:
"An adequate running record or per-
petual inventory Of those actively and
urgently seeking employment should
be obtainable by close coordination or
cooperation Of the Social Security
Board, the United States Employment
Service and the relief agencies. In
modern business such . perpetual in
ventory is a constant guide to man
agement. It is the procedure followed
by most Of the important governments
Of Europe and constitutes their main
or sole attempt at measuring unem-
pioyment. It eliminates many Of the
intangibles and variables and reduces
the number to workers really seeking
employment"
Recession Causes.
Although conceding he favored pro-
grams Of constructive public works,
Mr.. Biggers testified he 10 not wholly
in favor Of work relief Is compared
with direct relief in meeting the needs
Of the unemployed.
Mr.. Biggers cited . variety Of fac
tors contributing to the present re-
cession, among them foreign condi-
tions, suddenly curtailed Government
expenditures, revised Federal Reserve
and market margin requirements,
sterilization Of gold and labor dis
turbances. The latter, he said, fire.

II you Cook most OF the Western
cities, where racial components and
other conditions are somewhat differ
ent. you'd find the comparison still
less to the National Capitals advan-
tage in most forms of crime.
San Francisco, for instance, had
during the same nine months, % kill.
ings, $50 robberies and 1,464 burnlaries
Denver had II homicides, 1856 rob.
berries, 963 burglaries.
You have to 60 to Los Angeles, with
its million and . half population
to find anything in the West in
Washington's crime class. Los An
geles had 50 homicides, s57 robberies
and 5,4l1 burslaries.
Chicago, where rackets of all sorts
fiourished until recent law-enforce-
ment drives curbed them to q marked
extent, remained during the last
nine-month period enumerated the
urban crime center Of the country.
In this period Chicago had lsS
homicides, $3.50 robberies and o.o96
burglaries.
And Chicago was the only city,
large or small, that left Washington
lar behind in the crime chart.
But there was much more crime
IN Chicago in the heyday of rackets
the era of AL Capone. For the year
1885, before . determined effort was
made to smash rackets in the co,ln.
try's second city, Chicago reported:
Murders, 243; robbery. lo,177; burg
laries, 1887.
And Washington, the twelfth city
IN population, remains close to the
first in crime.
And Warrington Il ridden BY the
most profitable racket Of the day
numbers racket run largely by
criminal mobs in all the large cities
that still tolerate racketeers.
Federal crime experts are not sur
prised that the more direct looting
Of burglars and bandits IL q growing
menace to the Nations Capital. For
they have long observed the affinity
between organized gambling and other
refned schemes Of gaining money
without working and the less subtle,
more violent activities Of gunmen and
housebreakers.

No. 20 OF q Series.
Y CARTER BROOKE JONES.

by CANIEH bhOOAE JONES.
If somebody told you. Washington
has more burglaries than New York
City, you'd probably retort. You're
crazy-New York's 10 or II times rs
large"
But that somebody would be ap-
proximately correct.
During at least two quarters Of 1887
more burglaries were recorded in the
Congress-governed National Capital,
with its $1,000 or more people. than
among New York's 100000.
No wonder the numbers game and
other rackets have 4 firmer hold in
Washington at the moment than In
any other Eastern city.
Figures Compiled by F. b. I.
Reports from local police all over
the country compiled by the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation for the first
three months Of 1887 showed As the
number of housebreakings known to
the police:
Washington, $50.
New York. 646.
Lest you think that the burglary
figures, for some reason, are out Of
line with other crime, these reports Of
robberies-most of them armed hold
ups-in the two cities for the same
quarter may be cited:
Washington, 24S.
New York, 296.
Close, isn't 1t?
The same period yielded 1915 auto
mobile thefts in Americas greatest
metropolis and 763 in Washington.
Burglaries for April, May and June
were:
Washington, 766.
New York, 752.
The Capital led again.
Robberies for that quarter:
Washington, 213.
New York, 303.
Third Quarter Report.
During the third quarter Of 1887
New York,s housebreakers forged =
little ahead. They broke into S66
places, while burglaries in Washington
totaled 1853. Robberies for these three
months were: New York, 273; Wash
ington, all.
Those are the most recent figures
available. They are compiled from
statistics voluntarily reported by police
departments. The last quarter Of
1897 has not been reported. The F. B.
!. points out that in comparing cities,
allowance should be made for vari-
ations in crime recording methods and
other factors.
Homicides in New York are far
ahead-87 to 10 In Washington the
third quarter Of last year-but in other
classes Of crime there Is not = great
deal Of difference. But murders, too,
have been steadily increasing in the
Capital the last few years.
Comparison Of Cities. ,.
Following is q study Of major crimes
In Warrington and nine other cities
for the first nine months Of 1e37-the
latest crime figures obtainable. Some
Of these cities have approximately
the same population as Warrington.
Others are larger. still others snaller.

TAX L|ST|NG:WORK
. IS ALMOST ENDED
County Valuation May Be
Around $17,OOO,OOO 1t
Is Estimated

Tax listing for 1888 is virtually COM
plete for the county's account, and a
guess, hardly precise enough to be
called an estimate at this time, is that
the total valuation will be around
$17,OOO,O00.
Miss Dorothea Woodlief, county ac-
countant, in charge of the listing, said
today the loss of intangibles would be
a factor in valuations, but she could
not say just how much this would
cut down the totals. She hoped gains
elsewhere in the list would tend to
offset this decline.
Last years valuation for the county
as a whole turned out to be around
$4,000, 900, whereas the tax rate was
based on an estimated valuation of
property at $17,OOO,0O0. The county,
along with the remainder of the State,
had its quadrennial revaluation last
year.
The 1888 tax rate for the county will
lee less than the SO cents for 1887, it
is believed, but this figure cannot be
definitely determined until tax listing
totals have been more accurately
tabulated.
: LISTING for the city is likewise be-
ing completed, but officials in the city
clerks office where work has been
carried on, could not say what the
valuation for the year would be. Here,
too, however, the loss of intangibles,
taken this year by the State, is a
factor, and may prove to be a serious
factor in the new tax rate.
