THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 93, 1873 qo: CAUSES OF CRIME. Report of the Committee of Fire to the Commiitee of Fifteen, Canses that Predispose to ‘or Favor the Commission of Crime, King Alcohol at the Botiom of All Sin. A Mass of Statistics. Presented to Sustain the Assertion. Meeting of the Committee of Seventy. COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN. The Committea of Five, appointed at the meet- fog beld in the Board of Trade rooms, in Far- well Block, Sept. 26, toreport on the canses of crime, have concluded their labors, and yester- day submitted their report to the Committes of Fifteen. The document is subjoined : THE REPORT. A clear appreciation of those causes that predispose to, or favor the commission of, crimes, is of great importance to the welfare an prosperity of any community. Reasonable se- carity to life, health, and property is essential alike to public order and individual happiness. The frequency with which crimes have been committed, and especially those involving personsl violence, during the last few years, has Jjustly awakened the attention of all classes of the community. The real causes of crimes are di- vigible into two classes, viz.: those that pre- dispose to or prepare the way, by inducing such 2 mental development or condition as is capable of being incited to criminal acts; and those which, sacting on such mental predisposition, more directly induce the commission of crime. ‘The first may be termed predisposing snd the second ezciting canses. Tothe first belong neg- lect and ERBORS IN THE TBAISING or education of children; the reading of an ob- scene, immoral, and imaginative literature ; neg- lect to inculcate and enforce obedience and re- spect for existing laws, both in the family circle and the community a large; and especiaily the tolerance of open and constant violations of law by large classes of the community. To the sec- ond, or class of direct exciting causes, belong ell those social customs by which numbers of individuals are brought together at late ‘hours of the night or on the Sabbath, withont any accompanying moral restraint, and the use of such drinks as have the power to influence ‘human paesions and diminish the controling in- fiuence of reason and conscience. Of all the customs of a social character favoring THE ASSEMBLING OF MEN at unseasonable hours, and beyond the restrain- ing influences of either the family circle or the church, which has become almost universal, ia that of keeping liquor saloons open a large part of the night and all the Sabbath; thus affording & convenient rendezvous alike for the unwary Iaborer after his hours of toil, the idle, the vic- 4ims of a vicious appetite, the ignorant, and the designedly vicions. If it wero conceded that alcoholic drinks are legitimate articles of trade and commerce, there can be no good reason why those who traffic in them should not conform to the same customs 23 regulate all other traffics, and close their places of business at a guitable hour in the evening, and keep them clozed on the duy recognized as the Sabbath. A RIGID-AND CAREFUL EXAMINATION will show that, if these places were simply closed 2t the times just indicated, thereby depriving the bad elements of the community of a con- senient place of meeting, it alone would dimin- ish the number of crimes in auy given com- munity pearly 100 per ‘cent. Bat, of all the direct existing causes of crime, alcoholic drinks, by their power to excito the passions and impair the control of reason and conscience, stand ont pre-eminent and all-important. This will appear fmore distinctly by the presentation of & few well-authenticated statistical facts. More than twenty-five years since, & gentle- man of ialent and Treliable character visited all the prisons, jails, and poorhousesin the State of New York, and personally examined the in- mates, and, a8 far as_practicable, ascertained the causes of the crimes committed by the prisoners, and of the causes which had led to the poverty of the paupers. The resulis were published, giving. the number of prisoners and Ppaupers in each county in the State. To allude to these figures in detail wonld be unnecessarily tedious, 1t is sufficient o eay that they showed four-fifths of the criminals to have been brought to the commission of their criminal acts by THE TSE OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKS and that three-fourths of the paupers were made such directly or indirectly by the same agents. The results thus obtained in New York a quarter of & century ago, have been Tally confirmed by every examination of the jails and prisons, a3 well as of the records of the Criminal Courts. made since, either in thisor in other civilized countries. Thus, within the last three years, Dr. Elishs Harrig, then whom a more carefal and reliable observer cannot be found, after an official inspection of soveral of the prisons in New York, stated that 80 per cent of all the iminals he found had been made such by the e of intoxicating drinks. If we pass from the Jails and prisons to the Police Stations, Bride- Sells, and Houses of Correction, we eball find the results pointing in the same direction. G THUS, IN OCE CITY, fn 1871, the police arrests were 26,448, of which 13,767 wero either for drunkenness, disorderly Conduct, or acspults, and, of course, directly tracenble to the influence of alcoholic drinks, and the same ratio holds good for any number of years, and for all the cities and_toyms where the sele of these drinks is unvestrained. The President of onr Board of Police Commis- sioners, on. tho S0th of September last, eaid, Sipine-fenths of the ecrime is bronght about by drunkenness.” In 1868, the Prohibitory Liquor 1aw having been repealed, Mnssachusetts passed the year under the system of licensing, The commitments to the State Prison during nine ‘months,of the year 1868 were 148, while during tho same partof the previous Year, while the mhibitorvg.mwas in foree, the number was only . The Warden of the Massachusetts State Prison reports the mumber of prisoners, Sept. ), 1868, t 534; snd ho adds in his report tha “our-Afths of them committod the crimes for yhich they were sentenced either directly or indirectly under the influence of intoxicating Hiinks The State Board of Charities, in their Tepart, say: “ The roturns show that'from 60 o 80 per cent of our criminals are intemperate.” ‘VARIOUS REPORTS. The, Suffolk County Grand Jury, in & report, gtated Shat 75 out of 80 cases before them wers trsced to the uge of jntoxicating drinks r W. J. Mullen, Prison Agent in Philadelphia, reported 44,169 arrests in a eingle year ; and the ‘Pebords of the Courts show that three-fonrths of these arose ‘‘solely from the use of intoxicat~ ing liguore.” mi qund Jury in New York City, not long since, reported: ““We find, with very few ex- ceptions, that the crimes charged have their igin in resorts and dens of infamy.where :'.moxiuting liguors are sold and " An- other Grand Jury in the same city reported : 4 Nearly all thecases of murder which have been . investigated, have been f‘:»]x‘z:gto spring from the use of intoxicating drinks. * During_the year ending April 5, 1872, there ware 84,574 arroets in the city of New York, and of thiess 58,185 are under the head of druni: and disorderly. - ‘Thera were 57 arrests for murder 2nd manglaughter, 48 of which wero aseribed to the use of whiskey. Indeed, » large part of the gccused entered the ples of intoxicstion in ex- fenuation of their crimo and guilt. The Sherift of Albany County, New York, reports eight- fenths of tlie crimes coming under his jurisdic- tion 28 traceable toliguor. The eame’ reports Tiave been made in Dutchess, Erie and Niagara Connties; and the Police Court Clerk of Butfalo Feports the same pmspomam cha Morris, the State Agent of the Michigan Penitentiary at Jackson, when asked recently by & mermber of & cgmmitso from fhis city, what roportion of prisoners sent there since he had Doen 1o, offes Tiad committed tbe crimes for which they were sentenced while undor the in- fluence of liquor, replied with emphasis: ‘I cannot put my hand upos the first one who has not come here through the direct or indirect in- fluence of intoxicating drinks. : Even 50 long ago a8 the days of Sir Mathew THale, the same state of things existed. After twen’ty—ianr years' experience on_the bench, he saids I il the murders, manslsughters, bur- glaries, riots, tumults, and . other _enormities committed in England were represented by five ‘parts, four parts, beyond dispute, would be due to intemperance.” - OUB OWX STATE'S ATTORNEY, Charles H. Reed, Esq., states that if the liquor saloons were effectnally shut up on Sunday alone, ‘his criminal business would be diminished 60 per cent. A careful examination of a list of about_one hundred murders and manelaughters committed in this city and county during the last seven years, shows that at least 90 of the 100 resulted from the influence of alcoholic liquors. The connection of liquor with prostitution is notorious. A report made by Dr. Sanger, resi- dent physician at Blackwell's Icland, shows that “of 2,000 Emm‘.itntes there, 1,641 were drunk- ards a8 well.” Ho eaid that the wretched crea- tures could not live without drink. It was all that kept them from suicide: ‘‘ The 2,000 fallen women were made 50 in this wise: 1,452 had drunken fathers, and 1,125 drunken mothers.” TLiquor awakened balf the licentiousness in men. In Portland, Maine, where liquor was prohibit- ed, there was not a single open house of ill- fame. 5O WE MIGHET MULTIPLY FACTS in relation to every spacies of crime drawn from the police and judicial records of every civilized country ; but the sameness of the recital would only weary the reader, without imparting sddi- tional force fo the conclusions. R There is, however, another aspect in which statistical comparisons will show results so ‘w‘—ifi corroborative of the foregoing that we briefly indicato it.: By & careful comparison of the amount of liquor consumed in different States or counties relative to the population ag shown by revenue and census. refurns, with the number of police and criminal ar- rests in the . Bame States, a8 shown by the Police and Court records, it 15 found that the latter hold a remarkably close direct ratio to the former, and that in some States and municipali- ties, whera the consumption of alcoholic drinks varies, one year from another, the number and ‘magnitude of crimes varics iu the gamo ratio. ;i TAKE ESAMPLES s from Treland, which all aro well authonticated : Bessbrook, County Arm:gh, a linen factory town of 4,000 inhfibihnts, bad no Frog :hor% Paw office, Do police, no paupers, NO_Prisoners. e ropristor, Mr. Joha Grabb Rickardson, of the Society of Friends, wduld not allow a licensed housein the town, and all the best results fol- lowed from this prohibition. About 69 square miles of the County Tyrone were fres from licensed gmgabogs. Mr, J. E. Tener, the owner, of the property, had prohibited the drink traffic in the district. ' Crime and paupensm had been decreased thereby, and the police_actually re- moved from their barracks in that district, 88 not being further required. o It bas been the custom to prohibit distillation in Treland after a poor harvest. This does not prevent, but greatly reduces the consumption of intoxicating Sinks, BESULT, Six years of ordinary drinking—1834 to 1839 inclusive—first-class crimes, 26,330, Six‘years’ restricted drinking—1840 to 1845 inclusive—firat- clzss crimes, 13,170—a reduction of one-half. Other gerious crimes during the six years of ordinary drinking numbered 64,520; during the 6ix years of restricted drinking, 47,027. 3 1f'is added in the perlismentaryreport that, in several counties during the period of restricted drinking, there happened the unpresedented circumstance of the presentation of white gloves to the Judges, whichis done only when there are 10 criminals to be tried. MORE FIGURES. In185%, when the duty was 3. 4d., and 4s., the consumption was 8,440,734 gallons, and 73,~ 733 persons were imprisoned. In 1855, the duty was 48, 6d., and 6s. 2d., and the consumption was 6,228,856 gellons, and the number of per- sons imprisoned 54,431; thus verifying the maxim that, as are the facilities for obtaining strong drink, so is the proportionate dranken- ness, pauperism, and crime of the people. OTHER EXAMPLES. The examplo of Vineland, New Jersey, has been frequently referred to. Hereis a city of 12,000 inhabitants, not very remote from New York or Philadelphis, whers entire prohibition of the traffic in intoxicating drinks has been enforced from the beginning. The resultis an almost absolute sbsence 0f pauperism and crime, The entire police force of the city con- sists of one civil constable, and the expense to the public only $75 a year, or about $6 to every 1,000 inhabitants. In Chicago it costs $2,000 & year to each 1,000 inhabitants, and crime of ol %rladea is constant, exen with this large ex- penditure. W Noble County, Ohio, presented & clean crim- inal record for two years, in consequence of the salo of intoxicafing liquors being wholly excluded. The Dover (N. H.) Inguirer, speaking of the operation of ‘the Prohibitory law of that Stato in 1856, says: “The jail, which has usually a 00d supply of tenants, has been entirely empty gor several weeks.” The same was said of the jail in Stafford County. The New Hampshire Journal, ebout the same time, said: “The law works admirably in all ‘arts of the State. Pauperism and crime are al- ‘most unknown.” L. Underwood, Esq., State's Attorney of Chit- tenden County, 1ll., said : “ The lnw has put an end to drunkenness and crime almost entirely.” Tho Grand Jury of tho same county, in July, 1853, expressed gratification that the jail was ‘without inmates, and ascribed the fact to the op- eration of the Prohibitory law. The Mayor of Providence, B. I., said: “ After the law hed been in operation three months, I published statistics showing that the law in that Ebort time had made & reduction of nearly 60 per cent in the number of our committals.” Governor Dutton, of Connecticut, said : “Un- der thio law, crimiral prosecations aro rapidly dimi 8. “The Hartford Home Journal, of July 7, 1855, gaid: “The Maine Liquor law has ruined the jail business completely. The jail at Wyndham is to be let for & boarding-housa.” In Bangor, Mo., the number of public prosecn- tion the yeat before the law, 101; first year of the law, 58. At the term of the District Court of Portland, in March, before the law, there were 17 indict- ments ; in the March after.the law but 1, and that petit larceny. During the brief stence of the prohibitory law in New York, in the year 1855, the following results were secured : Commitmonts for crimi- nal offences in four counties and five cities in 1854, 4,960 5 in 1855, 2,890 ; difference infavor of tho prohibition year, 2,062 - In Edwards County, in this State, where tho traffic has been excladed for years, the criminal calendar has been & blank, while in &n adjoining county of sbout equal population, allowing license, the Court was engaged for three weeks in trying criminal cases. s EVANSTON. 1If you want a local fact go and live in Evans- ton 2 month, and then in Bridgeport, and you will soon discover the difference between prohi- bition and license in the matter of producing crime. The facts here produced, or those of a similar nature, might be extended almost in- definitely ; but enough has been given o estab- lish the axiom in this country, quoted - with ref- erence to England, that the crimes of & people are proportioned to the facilities of obtaining intoxicating beverages.

The Committee of Seventy held their first ‘meeting sinco the election, at the office of the Temperance Bureau, on Adams street, last even- ing. Mr. Meyers occupied the chair. A proposition to establish a library and amugement room in the Sixth Ward, was favor- ably considered, and a committee appointed to secure a euitable room and put it in order for tho recaption of those who chose to avail them- selves of the use of the books. % Adter transacting a large amount of miscel- laneous business and receiving the reports of the standing committees, which contained noth- ing of importanco to tho public, the committes proceeded to discuss THE WATS tAND MEANS of providing fands to carry out their object. All were in favor of continuing the work of prose- cuting liquor dealers who violated the laws, and, although no practical Ehn for raising money wag agreed upon, the gentlemen thought they would be able to secure &ll the funds thoy needed. ' subjoined resolutions; sdopted by The subjoined resolutions, adop y_the Young Men'’s Christian Association of ‘St. Paul, were presented by M. C. Kelley, the Manager of the Temperance Buresu, and placed on file. WipEaess, An effort is Row being made in Chicago by the friends of religion, temperance, and reform, to Dave the city ordinanca’closing the liquor and beer 8aloons on the Sabbath strictly enforced ; and WaEnEAs, Those in favor of destroying all tho legal safeguards Tow thrown around tho. religious obser- vance of our Ohristinn Sabbath ave bunded together with those engaged in the sale of liquor to prevent the succeseful enforcement of the ordinances therefore Resolred, That we ate watching the resuit of tho ef- fort with the most intense interest, helieving that, 5 & test case, its influcnce for good or evil will be felt everywhere ; and IResolved, That, belleving it to bo the duty of all Christians, both os individusls and members of Christian organizations, to encourage and aid those ‘engaged in the work by every means in their power, we do hereby express our admiration for tho carnest man- mer in which,the effort has been made, and our entire I sympathy with its object, ond our fervent prayer for es8, its suce REMARES OF MR. FELLEY. . Kelley snid_these resolutions showed how the work of the Committee is watched by the gfiople in other cities, and the friends of the ‘emperance couso bad reason to congratulate themselyes upon the success which had thus far attended the efforts of the Committee. The BState’s Attorney of Cook County had said that _the docket of the Criminal Court for the present month was smaller than it had been_for five years proviously; thatof the September term vas larger than it had ever been for any month before; and that he believed the diminution of crime was largely duc to tho enforcement of the Sunday lew, there having been an almost total absence of any of the most violent crimes since the provisions of the ordinance were carried out. The Committee then adjourned. THE LAW COURTS. NOTES OF INTEREST, Inthe South Park Cool condemnation case, counsel for the Commissioners yesterday ad- dressed the jury as to the valuation, and urged them to consider that if the Commissioners had paid for the 860 acres of higher land at the rate asked for this it wonld have cost not less than £8,000,000; more than they could bave raised. Theland was made valuable by reason of the park being made, and 1,000 acres, taken out of the market. The earth in itself was of no fixed value, but & fixed value was obtained by the use it was put to, as in this case, where 860 acres of land, almost valueless as swamp, would become worth 3,000,000 if paid for at the rate that was afterward paid for the contiguous property, the value ‘of which had thus i‘;en increased. The value of Mra. Cook’s land was the value at tho time of the condemnation; it was prepos- terous to think of paying for it at the enhanced value of the improved contiguouns property. .. An intelligent jury yesterday returned a vor- dict finding 32,500 damages foran assanlt, where only $800 were claimed, on the_suit, Kelbv., O'Brien. - The Judge smiled incredul6usly as he Tead tho verdict, and the Clerk held the docu~ ment up to the light as nmugg: ho suspected a ‘bank-note with a water-mark; but thers wasno doubt at all about it. The inteiligent jury had recorded their finding for $2,500, and no leas. In the case of one of the parties indicted by the Grand Jury, as reported in yesterday's TemmE, Leo Canman, the defendsnt, Oscar Lennox Misch and Felix K. Misch, yesterdsy entered into recognizances in $3,000, for the appearance of the defendant, from day to day. A juryis ordered for 10 o'clock this morning, 1o try the question of aileged fraud in the nppE- cation of Hiram R. Roberts, to be discharged under the Insolvency act, from arrest under a Jjudgment in favor of Christian Landgrave. In the matter of H Hedge, & bankrupt, an or- der was_made, yesterdsy, on the petition of Charles H. Davie, directing the assignee to give up certein goods snd chattels specified in the schedule, and belonging to said Davie. Jacob Frein yesterdsy commenced suit against the Michigan Central Railroad Company, dam- ages $10,000, in trespass on the case. Jacob iller, administrator of tho estate of E. T. Mil- ler, deceased, 2lso begun an action against the same for $5,000. Ar. Joseph Pollok, Clerk elect of thoe County Court, yesterday presented his commission to the Court, and it was ordered, in the usual form, to be spread of record. Rogister Hibbard had nothing to do yesterday, speaking comparatively, and was ablo to take & breathing spal}::nd look up arrears. There were 1o bankruptey examinations. In the matter of James Baxter, in bankruptey, }hf order of dismissal was yesterday made abso- uto. 5 THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. [Judge Blodgett.) Law—678—Haugh v.

Strange to say, Tol ounty, Gs., has never enjoyed a circus., Somebody procured s number of old bills and E‘osie,fl them at Jacksonville, announc- ing that the cirous would be exhibited on a cer- tain Friday. A greet crowd of men, women, and children gathered, all wild with joy and expec- tation, but no circus sppeared. After hope de- ferred had mede a great many hearts sick, a little boy rushed into the town crying that he had seen the clown crossing the river. And who should the clown turn out but Ben.

The gum is packed inlarge leath- er sacks, and transported on the backs of camels and bullocks to seaports for shipment. The ‘harvest occasion is mads one of grest rejoicing, and the people for the time being almost live on the gum, which is nutritious and fattening. —The epizootic has developed in Cleveland, among other things, & vast deal of marital devo- tion. The wife of one gentleman desired to at- tend the Patti concert, but was in feeble heslth, 2nd unsble to walk, Tho busband put her into & stout baby carrisge, and proceeded straightway to the hall where Butti was to sing; and, at the closo of the entertainment, trundled his spouse home in the same style. Another wife desired to attend the wedding of & friend, some distance away from her residence, but the horsea were all sick, and & carriage could. not bo had for love or money. Carefally wrapping her up and deposit- ing her on the soat of & light buggy, the hus- band took his place between the thills, and for the nonce “ played horse ” most successfully. A Long Life of Living Darkness. A correspondent_of the Boston Transcript tells this melancholy story: “ About: - twenty-five feum ago Danel" A. Drown, of Portsmouth, N.

But after, soverai years spent in sea voyages, and consulting the most eminent oculists in this and other lande—and when hope Iong ‘deferred had made all their hearts sick—thepoor sufferar sought what relief he could find in & darkened room, and there he'has remeined for-more than twenty years ; once in & while venturing to airoll outfor & few moments in the ;qmnl?ghl‘. and still rater to look at natire ir, the’sunlight, aud in oither cese* payirg & fearful penalty of in- creased an; ,for the indulgence, as the most exquigita pain pierces his eyes on the least ex- posure to'the light.” So sensitive are these or- i gnnfi, indeed, that not only is he forced to keep is room darkened to a degres that can almost | be felt by his visitors, but he muet also wear thick. bandages over his’ eyes the while, and. is . constently weiting these. When first taken. Mr. “Drown was s power- fol ‘and sthletic man, ‘but this * enforced | sedontary mode of life has worn upon him sadly, ; and ho is now but'awreck of his' former -galf. . But through 21l he has maintained an astonish- ing degree of Christisn resighation; équanimity, and cheerfulness, such s should put to blush many who complain much more loudly of trifles in comparison with his trisls.
