New York has thrown awny its nickel novel of 1&20. to begin reading the 1921 thiijler of Dead Man's Gulch moved into Broadway and the Black HUH set down on Fifth avenue, somewhere between tho Valdorf-Astoria and 42d street. ... With-something like. 400 robberies and "stickups" on the newspaper lists of crimes for the past year, and mure than, 100 murders and killings set down by news offices as "unsolved, " tho nqw year hrs hud set for if a, penny-dreadful "record -it will take two Run men from Coyote Canyon a lifetime's endeavor to beat. . A ride from the Grand Central in a taxicab now is conceded by leading newspapers of the clly to have noth ing on a trip in the Deadwood stage coach mid the big hotels and restau rants loom up ns cheery as the Santa Fe saloon in the wild west days of the six-gun toter fnd the Bad.JBoy Ban dits, of Blpody Hollow. ..Twenty pot lice riflemen patrol the streets at night in automobiles. The curfew rings at midnight when Central pnrk Is closed to vehicular - and. pedes-" trfan traffic, and all persons .abroad must give an'.account of themselves when asked. In the, past month judges 'on the criminal courts bench have urged for-, imttion of citizens' -committees on a par with the vigilantes of the, fron tier before ' was accused of pidvlug back east to metropolitan centers. The mayor has warned all persons carrying or possessing valuables to procure permits to arm themselves against highwaymen and the police have tried to get back to something like first principles in life and prop erty protection. ' ;, ' ; Crimes have been chronicled as though they were robbery and mur-. der cyclones, nnd the-subway news-; paper reader has felt all the thrill of riding the Overland' Umited in the days when Jesse James and his gang held no prairie railroad immune from their ravages. Estimates have placed about $4, 000,000 as the total value of loot ob tained by burglars, thieves and yegg men in New York during 1920. Day light holdups, attacks in leading Great White Way hotels nnd automobile banditry have yielded much of the valuables stolen. As many us 40 rob beries and thefts have been featured fur a month's acts of violence of note,; and six such attempts In n day have been recorded. Of the more than 100 "unsolved murders listed by, some papers, a ' number now are naUcually. If not In ternationally, known, beginning with a killing last .New Year's Duy, 1920's record started strong. Conspicuous in the 12 months' list were the mur ders of Joseph B. Elwell, Miss Benie Constance Hoxie, and Frederick C. Ecker. Elwell, known from coast to coast as a whist expert and horseman, was shot to death in his handsomely furnished AVest 70th street home; Miss Hoxie,' a 17-year old girl, was found .mutilated in her father's house; Eckert, a - former .government agent and. alleged whiskey runner. was found shot dead in an automobile in Staten 'Island In -the robberies, organized bands of gunmen have seemed to predomi nate. Thefts of valuable goods from railroad freight cars, hulking big in packing cases,, have been . consider able. Stolen automobiles' have been reported constantly. Hut holdups of the old time type, by day as well ns night,, on the street, in the home, in hotels, where masked and unmasked men have taken what theywanted at tho point of pistols, have called forth the hue nnd cry against alleged "in adequate police protection." Automobile -bandits hayjB made off with a number of factory payrolls and banks have seen gunmen walk in and denirfnd money from the safe under penalty of instant death. All this time, the Police Depart ment has been- under fire, - Polica Commissioner Enright, right bower of; the city administration, has been attacked continually in the news-, papers because of tho prevalence of the gunmen. 'The commissioner has retorted by asserting that this condition exists elsewhere. To combat it ho has lengthened tho hours of police duty cnlied for 500 additional policemen and sent out automobile squads armed with rifles to patrol the shopping and lousiness districts. t DEATH PENALTY ' ' Catholic Church ',.

'.'. ' . NEW YORK. Jan. S. Legislators In this state served notice during New York's crime wave that at the next ses sion they intend introducing measures to provide greater punishment for highwaymen and burglars. With daring robberies becoming every day occurrences, the courts hero quickly decided to mete out maximum punishment wherever possible and laised bail to Insure keeping criminals behind bars. ' A study of existing laws in various stales shows that in three, burglary is punishable by death and in four, rob bery-'-shoiild the maximum punish ment be applied. First degree burglary may he pun ished by death in North Carolina and Virginia by means of electricity and in Delaware by hanging. Alabama and Virginia's laws provide the maximum of death in robbery cases, while Ne vada specifics death for train robbers and lexns for robbery accomplished by means of deadly weapons. Several states provide for llfo Im prisonment or for "any term up to life" In burglary cases. The life -penalty thus Is possible In Massachusetts, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Rhode Island and South Carolina, while In Maine the law merely provldos "any term of years" making it possible to Impose sentence which virtually menus life. New York, Minnesota,. North Dakota and South Dakota accomplish tho same end by stipulating that burglary-shall1 be punished by "not Iobs thaif 10 years." Other states vary. from maximum punishments of 40 years in Utah and 30 years in New Hampshire to only seven years in Arkansas. The heaviest ' fine possible for the offense Is In Pennsylvania, which provides "pot over 10 years and $10,000." Robbery may be punished by life imprisonment In Idaho, Rhode Island, Texas, Oregon, Utah, Illinois, Massa chusetts, Michigan, and Hawaii. Call fornia provides for "not less than ouo year." The least severe penalty is that of Connecticut which stipulates "not more than seven years." In most states the maximum varies from 16 toi 20 years. ... In view of present conditions, how ever, bills are being prepared for in troduction in several states to Increase the maximum penalty to death or life imprisonment. . f t T T t First Christian Church -Cor.
