President of Iin~is Bar Association Points to increase in' Homicides in America and Refers at Length to Lynchings. Chicago.-The United States is most lawless of the civilized nations; its homicide rate' Is growing -faster than that of any other. land; lynching is America's own peculiar plague, and to wipe it out should be made the first business of the coupitry. This'indictment of the United States as holder of the intorrational record for deeds of violence was uttered by Robert MeMurdy, iilsident of the Illi noIs State liar association, in opening the annual couvehtion of that organi zation at the Hotel La Salle. "At the outset," said Mr. Mchurdy, "we must adnit that the inhabitants of the United States are the most law less of all civilized peoples. "Andrew D. White tells us that homicide is the most rapidly growing of serious erhues in this country, and that it is increasing more rapidly here than in any other land. Four years ago he gave to the world some figures covering an eight-year podod. He 'found the number of murders a year per million population to be: Canada, 3; Germany, 4-5; Englund and Wales, 10-11; France, 12-15; Belgium, 15; United States, over 129. "The latest official figures at hand (1912) give the number of homiokles in London as 86. During the same year in Chicago they reached 231. It the total for Chicago were figured to correspond with the population the record -would read: London, 86; Chli cago, 693. Moreove;''-Chicago by no means heads the murder list of Ameri can cities." Taking up the subject of lyncl ng. Mr. McMurdy submitted figures show ing that during 32 years the number tynched in the United States has reached a total of 2,998, an average of one every three days. In the last ten years the yearly average has been re duced to 72. . Turning to disregafd for law, other than that connected with murder, Mr. McMurdy reviewed a long list of in stances-the revelations of political corruption that made Adams county, Ohio, notorious, the judicial reputa tion of Denver, the lawlessness of the police, the deflance of ,law by mine owners at Calumet, violations of law by labor, per'jury as a cotqpanion of divorce suits, evasion of customs by "best citizens," break41g of speed laws, and many others. "The annual cost of crime in the United States," he said, "is much greater than our national debt." Methods of law administration that have been outgrown through the change in social and industrial condi tions were dwelt upon by John B. Winslow, chief justice of the Wiscon sin supreme court. He described a long list of "absurdities in the law" through which cases are delayed, jus tice miscarries and criminals are en abled to escape. DROVE SHAH FROM BERLIN Rumors of Brusque imperial Action Lent Credence by Watch Kept on Potentate. Odessa.-It is rumored hero that the recent return of the former Shah of Persia was the result of pressure brought to bear upon him by the Rus. sian ambassador at Berlin, where the Shah has been for several months un dergoing treatment-for dIabetes. It is understood .that Sir Ediward Grey, was told by Riussia that she Sir Edward Grey. ould net tolerato any further at 4zpt on the part of the Shah to re gain the Persian throne 'and thus ecnse another grave disturbance. A Russian adjutant attached to the spite of Mohammed All is keeping a vigilant watch on his movements and on the comings and goings of the. Per elan emissaries. The Shah is very quiet and seeretive.

McLAURIN ADVOCATES TOTAL ELIMINATION Says Southern Farmer ("an Close Up Shop, So Far as Cotton is Concern ed, aind Make Money. Attended Uo. ernors' Conference. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 19.-Foriner Senator J. L. McLaurin, .of South Carolina, referred to by Gov. Cole L. Blease Friday night as "the best post ed man in the world on the cotton situation," thinks the southern fanm er- can close up shop next season and make money. Go'v. Blease declared Sonator Me Laurin has made a more exhaustive study of conditions than any other man in the country, lie will speak for Gov. 'llease in South Carolina'; plans for relieving the situation are asked foit at today's conference. "The Aldrick-Vreeland act has proven a failure and has not accom plished whit the secett:v of the treasury led the people of the South to expect wleii (lie cotton congress was held at Washington in August," said Senator MeLainliii last night at the Chisa. "''he new currency aet is soon, to become effective and the South canl take advantage of it through state bonds to the extent of taking up the distressed cotton aind providing for the needs of the domes tic mills at 10 or 12*cents a pound. ".If this is lone, it would fix a bor rowing value for cotton at about eight cents, which would be anllclent to liquidate the expenses incurred in railing the crop. "The trouble will not be eliminated however, until the farmer learns the lesson of diversifieation. A partial re duction of cotton acerage next sea son will not fill the bill. If the cot ton acreage is only partly reduced there will still be a surplus and prices will sag and hit the bottom. "At a recent conference in New Orleans Hlarvie Jordan, quoting Hes ter, said the visible and inSisible %up ply of cotton on Sept I was 6,238,000 bales. The present crop on hand acr cording to a federal government rI port,' indicates 15,000,000 bales. My own opinion is that it will not be un der 10,000,000 bales. ro the pres ent crop and supply On Sept. 1, add 7,000,000 bales raised in India, igypt and other foreln countries, which would give a total of 28,000,000 bales. "The consumption for the world is estimated at 14,800,000, while the con suiption during Peace time is esti mated at 21,000,000 bales. Therefore there will be 13,000,000 to 1.1.000,000 bales to carry over in 1915. This you will see that a partial redlutioni of next year's crop will have the desired effects. "We in South Carolina are strong ly in favor ot the total eliuination of cotton next year. The farmer an( planter should arrange some way to hold his cotton, raise corn and hogs and keep down his expenses and in ris spare time go fishing. At the end of the year he wili find that lie has mad0 more money, a great deal more, than if ho had raisde more cotton for then the cotton he has will be worth a great deal more than if a 1915 cr'op had been raised. And he will have benp saved the expense of ragking it and\ wvill have had enough foodstuffs to have kept his comforta'bly through the year.''

To the barber's soothing snip, snip, snip, and the gentle tug of the comb, I dreamed of the barber shops of my boyhood and of Clarkiq Parker's in particular. Clarkie's shop was in Ly ceum Hall block, one flight'up-a huge room, with a single green-upholstered barber's chair between the windowe, where you would sit an4 watch the town go by below. you. The room smelled pungently of by rum. Bar ber shops don't smell of bay rum any more. Around two sides were ranged many chairs and an old leather couch. The chair arms were smooth and black with the rubbing of innumerable hands and elbows, and behind them, making a dark line along the wall, were the marks where the heads of the sitters rubbed as they tilted back. Nor can I forget the spittoons-large, shallow boxes, tv.o feet square-four of them full of sand. On a third side of the room stood the basin and watertaps, an1 beside them a lirge black walnut cabinet, full of shelves. The shclvei were full of mugs, and on every mug was a name, in gilt letters, generally Old English. Those mugs were a town directory of our leading citizens. My father's mug was on the next to the top shelf, third from the end on the right. The sight of it used to thrill me, and at twelve I began sur. reptitiously to feel my chin, to see if there were any hope of my achieving a mug in the not too distant future. From The Atlantic.
