N. 8.)— New York with its mixed population, presents the greatest crime prob lems of any city on earth, in the opin ion of Justice J. M. Tierney, justice of the supreme court of New York. Justice Tierney visited in England in connection with the Bar Associa tion celebrations. He has served on the New York bench for twenty-seven years, the past nine of which have been as a supreme court justice, "Most American cities. more typ- Ically American In their population that New York, compare favorably with other cities of the world in the matter of crime." Justice Tierney »aid in an interview. "New York, however, is full of her judges have to deal with bad «»•breakers, and almost every day erimes of violence aud lesser cases. "Her troubles have been brought ibout by the great Influx during last years of unprofitable lintni- ;rants, who, having settled down iu | various colonies und quarters of the city, desire to make their own laws ind live in their own manner, with the result that our prisons are filled with foreign lawbreakers, and our asylums are peopled with foreigu Imbeciles. "It is to be hoped,” continued Jus tice Tierney, "that the new immi gration laws will allow the United States to eliminate and absorb thia unfortunate element without their numbers being further reinforced. The Immigration laws work bard against the people of Northern Eu rope, but the situation is desperate and calls for drastic treatment. "The situation is becoming just as bad in the divorce courts. We are being called upon to nullify mar riages made in every part of the world, and it Is creating a bad im pression in other countries. Other countries cannot see that the number of divorces among real Americana of the deceut. home-loving class Is quite normal; it U the alien population divorce suits that are forcing tb« sta tistics up.”
