HOMICIDE RATE ' SIX TIMES AS HIGH AS CANADA ♦ Insurance Company Statistics Reveal Facts About United States. Bv United Preen NEW YORK, May 28. One homicide was reported among the million Canadian industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company during the first' four months of 1926, while no less than 375 homicides occurred among the sixteen million Industrial policyholders in the United tSates during the same period. “Expressed in another way,” said Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life, “we might say that if, during this four-month period, the same'homicide rate that prevailed among Canada's industrial population had also obtained in the same group in this country, we would have had sixteen deaths. Instead we had 375 or more than twenty-three times as many homicides per million of industrial population as did Canada. Unfavorable to U. 8. . "The homicide rate in the United States usually averages about six 'times as high as that of Canada. Just at this time, however, the comparison is even more unfavorable to this country. "Recently we made a study of the subsequent action of 611 homicides among policyholders of the company in the years 1922 to 1924. We found that eighty-six of these cases were .justifiable homicides, where persons were killed by officers of the law while resisting arrest or while in the act of committing crime. Os ±lie 525 assailants who were answerable to the law for taking human life, it developed that fifty-four assailants committed suicide and thirteen died before arrangnment. Os the remaining 458 assailants, eighty-four had not been apprehended within one year after the crime had been committed. * Interesting History "The three hundred and seventyfour cases actually apprehended show an interesting after-history. No case could be made against one hundred and eight of these persons and they were released by magistrates or grand juries. Eight of them were declared Insane. “There were actually brought to

BISHOP FAVORS REFERENDUM ON PROHIBITION LAW Episcopalian 'Church Head Not Sure Whether Volsteadism Good Thing. B Time* Bveeial DENVER, May 28.—The Rt. Rev. Irving P. Johnson, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Colorado, is rrot sure whether jSrohibltion is a good* thing. It would take wiser man than himself, he says, adequately to answer the question, but he favors a referendum on It. “Theoretically,” he says. “I believe the country is better off than lfore the Eighteenth amendment. “Practically, however, I am not so sure. * "I do not believe the law can be

"Suph a referendum,’’’ Bishop Johnson says, “Is a political question and the fact that the question embarrasses politicians not take it out of politics. "Once the lnelementary gets into politics,” he added, “nothing can get It out and It will always remain there.” The validity of the Eighteenth Amendment and Volstead act, which he says has “occasioned such a disturbance in our national life, must be determined and the resultant issue must be faced." “And as long as w# have such a thing as referendum it might as well be used in this connection as # anything else.” Somo 600,000 children lea ve British elementary sthools every year to enter the labor market.
