I r CUM is n w RANKS THIRD IN CRIMINALITY IN THK WORLD, RVSSIA AND SICILY BRING WORSE. Total Arrests In American City Wai 60,844, as Compared to 8,274 In Ilerlln, Germany. Chicago, Oct.. 3. Chicago is the third most criminal community In the world. James Edgar Brown, a law yer, who has Just returned from abroad, where he has made an ex haustive study of crime, made the assertion In an address to the Hamil ton Club, and then submitted proofs. "There are only two places In the world where there Is more crime than In Chicago In proportion to the popu lation," said Mr. Brown. "One If that section of Russia populated densely by the Croatlans and Poles. The other Is In the Sicilian bandit region." Mr. Brown thought the prevalence of crime in this country was due to the Influx of criminal foreigners, many of them from the section of Russia that he named, who did not commit crimes themselves after ar riving In this country, but transmit ted the thieving Instinct to their children. Lack of police registration, compulsory education, a general lax lty In public morals and a blunting of the sense of Integrity, he gave as other reasons. In Berlin last year there were only Ix cases of murder or mansluaghter; In Chicago 187. Total arrests In Ber lin for a year, 6,274 ; In Chicago, I,S44. New Rules for Immigration to U. 8.

WOMAN ROASTS PLATT MAE WOOD SAYS SHE IS HIS LAWFUL WIFE, AND DELIGHTS OVER SENATOR'S SCANDAL. Colon, Mich., Oct. 3. Miss Mae E. Wood, who asserts that she Is the lawful wife of Senator Thomas C. Piatt, at her home here yesterday declared that she Is glad there has been an expose of the Senator's mar ried life, "which enlightens the pub lic as- to the real facts." ' "Thomas C. Piatt Is reaping the reward of his old vicious career," she aid. "I am his real wife, and I can prove It. He has recognized this other woman as his wife and has caused the world to recognize her aa his wife. He is reaping a whirlwind tnd deserves no pity. "Unfortunately,-one cannot discuss a woman of Mrs. Janeway's ilk as frankly as the occasion demands. To speuk of the style in which she was accustomed to live in the whirl of Washington society and elsewhere and the establishments over which she presided would be Impossible In addressing respectable people thru the columns of the press, and yet these things ought to be told for the good of society. Her glided net was spread for the Senator and he has become her victim completely. I can only be glnd of any expose which en lightens the public as to the real facts concerning the Senator and the Jane way woman's relations with him. I feel sorry for Colonel Carmody or for any of those who have been vic tims of Piatt and Mrs. Janeway. Any expose that will come will never half eover the situation." REFUSE TO QUIT HAZING.
